Thoughts on "not too ticklish"

[Ice Princess]

Any thoughts on what to do with footage of this gal? she was a gamer but when she showed up , well, she wasnt very ticklish, i mean a few slight giggles when we tickled her feet ( and we went after them too) and a few more when we got her upperbody but wasnt quite sure how people feel about this,, Is it something we should just scrap or is anyone interested in seeing a girl tied and tickled even if she can handle it or actually LIKES it? thoughts? should i even prepare the clips?

 

[iloveddub]

For me, it depends on the kind of "like". Did she respond like a massage? I don't always go crazy right away....but I really don't care for a clip if the lee isn't losing it.

 

[Tidas]

She's so ridiculously cute that'd I would still pay to see her. 🙂

 

[kis123]

Was that your first session together?

Maybe she wasn't that ticklish that day or nervousness got the best of her. The first session (and only) I've ever had, I was so nervous that it took a foot massage and some talking to in order for me to relax and go with it.

See if that's the problem and resolve it. Then go have some fun together!

 

[maniactickler]

Scrap her.

 

[kis123]

Scrap her.

IF you can't find something positive to say, do the OP a favor.........okay??

She might have been having a bad day. besides she's not a girlfriend, at least I don't think so.

But some of you get on my nerves with this attitude.

Yes, I put him on ignore quite a while ago because of these immature comments. Life is short enough as it is.

 

[icebadger26]

It would depend on how you feel putting a clip out there that you know the lee isn't that ticklish or not ticklish at all. A lot of us have viewed clips and can tell if the lee isn't ticklish and they are faking being ticklish. I would try it again with her and see if the result is different. If not then you would be the one to make the call on whether to post it or not.

I don't think there's anything rude about maniac's comment - I'd be inclined to say the same.

If it didn't work out simply move on and wait for the next shoot with a model that is ticklish. I say this from the point of view of someone who loses a lot of money on models that don't work out, but unfortunately it's just an aspect of making tickling clips. You can't tell if someone is going to be ticklish by looking at a picture beforehand, and sometimes models are less ticklish than they think they are. It's easy to waste hours trying to make something good out of crap footage but in the long run it probably won't be worth the time and effort when you know yourself it isn't any good!

 

[general thade]

Ice Princess,

I think it's all in how you market the clip.

Maybe you could discount it with the appropriate disclaimer, or you could bundle it with another clip. Maybe pair it with an interview of the model.

I think there is a place for it.

 

[chtickle18]

Why not make a foot tease clip out of it? With some light tickling involved? I would give that a try. It might not cater to most of the people here, but she seems to have nice feet so why not go down the foot fetish path?

 

[2ltamerica]

That's a crime. Her and her feet are adorable.

Well of course you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to disagree with you. Especially the term "scrap her" like she's a piece of garbage just because she isn't ticklish? That's horribly rude and inhumane IMO.

As I said in my initial response in this thread, ticklishness can be reduced if she's nervous. Sometimes people are more ticklish some days than others. Sometimes the ler might not have the approach needed to bring it out (no offense to the OP). There are a lot of factors.....you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater just because it doesn't go your way.

There have been multiple threads on this subject matter and maniac's attitude won't change and neither will mine. But I don't wonder why many of the men in this forum constantly whine about not getting tickle partners......based on their attitudes, some of them don't deserve any.

This discussion is about a commercial venture not a real life relationship. If it were then it would be offensive but it isn't and simply saying scrap her (i.e. the footage of her) is a perfectly valid thing to say. Also, if you hired a model for a shoot and found she wasn't ideal for a tickling shoot then you'd think twice about hiring her again. Yes, I know from experience that the second time you tickle someone you tend to get better results as the anxiety/nervousness is far less but commercially you probably wouldn't take that chance.

For the record, I say scrap the footage and don't hire her again for a tickle shoot. Nobody has got far as a producer releasing clips of not very ticklish models. Even if clearly labeled as such it will sell less and is unlikely to be worth the effort of editing and releasing the clip. If I had met the model in real life then I would of course give things another go!

 

[gypsyhanna]

If you have access to a supply of really ticklish girls, I wouldn't hire her again, but you might be able to use the clips. I definitely would be upfront and honest (as you obviously are) when it comes to the description, so that people don't expect a hyperticklish model when they purchase the clips. It's all about expectations right? If they think she's so adorable that they just want to watch her despite her lack of ticklishness, they will buy. It won't go down in history as a top seller, but you might be able to make a bit on it. The only way people will be disappointed is if they expect her to be more ticklish than she is.

She might have just been nervous, I have my slightly less ticklish days. Slightly lol.

I think he was speaking metaphorically, as in: ditch the footage, find a new model for next time. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean literally throw her out with the trash and I don't think he wasn't insulting the model personally. She would have been paid for the shoot, so whether or not a clip gets released is unlikely to cause her any great upset.

Yes, sometimes people are nervous, more ticklish on different days, in different positions, at different points in the shoot etc, etc. The result of all of that is that you will always end up with some scenes that don't work out, some that aren't as good as others and some shoots that don't produce any good footage at all. The more shoots you do, the more you realise that this happens a lot.

Trying to salvage something from scenes that really aren't any good is generally a wasted effort - I know because I've tried it and then changed my mind more times than I care to remember. The footage always gets scrapped in the end when you realise it just isn't as good as it should be...but by that point you've wasted half a day editing it and wish you hadn't! I've also had the experience of re-booking models that didn't work out to see if we get better scenes next time - sometimes it's worked out but more often it hasn't, and again, it is very frustrating to spend money and time on something that isn't going to produce a result.

Obviously, people have their own opinions and they can advise the OP to persist with the clip and/or the model. However, knowing how hard it is to make clips sell sometimes, I really don't see the benefit to the OP - especially given that they seem to doubt the footage in the first place.

Bravo, kis123. You basically flamed a person while giving a lecture about maturity. See the irony in this?
OP, I would ask what kind of interaction you have with a model when she first comes in. Do you talk, what do you talk about?
Did you notice she was nervous or tired? Perhaps you should review your talk with her and look for places where you could improve your communication with the models in the future. You should definetely try to learn from this and see if you made any mistake or failed to notice something in your talk with her.

As for the footage, not quite sure. Personally, I don't like "not very ticklish" models.

If the clip was the issue, I'd gladly agree with you. Then why not just say "scrap the clip" and not "scrap her??" Besides based on years of posting history, this is how maniac (as well as several other members here) roll with their thinking. If she's not ticklish (or not ticklish enough for them) then their worthless to them. That's the part that fired me up, not just a clip. The OP apparently had more thoughtfulness about it then someone just saying "scrap her!"

Yes, sometimes people are nervous, more ticklish on different days, in different positions, at different points in the shoot etc, etc. The result of all of that is that you will always end up with some scenes that don't work out, some that aren't as good as others and some shoots that don't produce any good footage at all.

Your experiences as a producer are greatly appreciated; you apparently have more experience than the average Jane or John Doe on the matter. Then again, I wasn't specifically discussing the clip because that's not my experience or skill set. I did say maybe try with her again to see if she was just having a bad day; who knows? She just might not be ticklish enough for a shoot. Judging by many of the male responses here they wouldn't mind seeing her anyway and the idea of a footplay video came up. I thought that would be a great idea to get an attractive (but not so ticklish) model out there. Who knows what could come from that?

Obviously, people have their own opinions and they can advise the OP to persist with the clip and/or the model. However, knowing how hard it is to make clips sell sometimes, I really don't see the benefit to the OP - especially given that they seem to doubt the footage in the first place.

Again, I go with your experience on this; I was just disagreeing with the term "scrap her!" And maniac and I have an understanding so everyone else who's attempting to criticize me without calling him out on his commentary.......well, I'll just say people can think whatever they want and I'll continue to call them on it if I feel the desire to.

Hope this clears the air........

As a matter of fact, I don't. You can choose to elaborate if you wish but I'm not overly concerned about it. You have your opinion and again, I'm not overly concerned about it. But if you feel the need to make a loaded comment at least take the time to explain your version of "the irony."

But remember, I'm still not overly concerned about it. But give it a shot anyway because one who makes accusations should back them up.

And I flamed no one......flaming's not allowed here remember?

May your day be awesome!

I'm going to keep this as simplistic as I possibly can.

The term was "scrap her", not "scrap the footage" or "cancel the model". That's much more appropriate to say.

I have the right to my opinion and can voice it as I choose. I didn't like the term and the fact folks want to come down on me about my opinion will just have to be. I'm not changing my mind on it just like the poster didn't correct the issue. He thinks as he thinks and I have the right to do the same.

Thank you for your opinion although I disagree with it.

Peace.

Implying to somebody they, specifically, belong to a group that gets on your nerves, based on your misinterpretation of their comment, while at the same time telling them, albeit not directly, that they should GTFO. I call that flaming somebody. The only thing lacking in your flaming was bad grammar and direct insults.

 

[Ice Princess]

Guys really its ok🙂 I was truly looking for opinions and any and all of them are fine🙂 ultimately it will be my decision on how i handle it but i was just merely looking for opinions,, good or bad, so thanks you for all of them,,Ill satisy everyone with her, ill make the clips and market them as the girl that LIKES to be tickled and has very little reaction to tickling, those that want to see her will be able to and those that want her scraped can just pass🙂 then we all win,,thanks again

Peace? You are twisting what has been written to suit your version of the narrative. How you can interpret "scrap her" as a misogynist slur is quite frankly beyond me. I'm still not sure how we got from an enquiry from a producer about what to do with footage of a girl who is not very ticklish to where you ended up. To have a difference of opinion is one thing but to deliberately misrepresent what others are saying is something else. Please just accept things at face value.
