Tickling videos turning towards porn- since when, though?

[ShadowKat]

I love tickling. I love porn. I love tickling porn. Like peanut butter and jelly, which can go together or be eaten separately.

 

[TropicThunder]

There are plenty of sites out there that are just strictly tickling, I don't know why everyone's getting so fussed up about it.

I think we associate the word 'Porn' with content that includes or depicts sex or sexual acts because historically that's what the industry put out and was mainstream. Over the last 20 years or so, and specifically with the internet boom, people have been able to put out content that isn't considered mainstream but could still be considered 'Porn', as it is material that invokes sexual stimulation.

As it pertains to tickling, I think over time things naturally mature to explore and incorporate additional elements beyond just the tickling. I mean, how many times have threads been started asking about tickling and sex? Not everyone is into that, and not everyone wants to necessarily see it in their tickling clips, but the two are not mutually exclusive. I wouldn't say tickling videos started moving towards porn. I'd argue they've always been porn, and have just incorporated more "traditional" elements of what is considered porn, instead of tickling alone. And like many others have stated in this thread, there's clearly a market for it. I personally am not a fan of purchasing clips that have those elements in them, but am not gonna call the producers that make that material distasteful (well, not all of them).

Hahahahahahahaha! Done.

For me the term porn has always meant full on sex and as im not much interested in watching that Id rather it wasnt incorperated into tickle vids cos it just detracts from my main intererest. For the sake of a label id call tickle films "eroticism " but whats in a name?
I do prefer though that while the vids need not include any sex they should still be sexy, unflattering clothing and a complete lack of any sexual tension in the scenes really takes the edge off for me.

Indeed.

People tend to forget we have a huge silent majority here; the amount of people on the TMF that make their voice hear throught posts is dwarfed by the amount of people that doesn't post diddlysquat but does buy clips.

And apparently the silent majority wants to see dongs and vibrators in their tickling clips. Fine by me, as long as there's stuff to choose from you will not hear me complain, I will just look elsewhere.

One of the reasons you are seeing more 'porn' in your tickling is very simple.

The market has matured.

A decade and change ago when Magic Touch and TC were slugging it out there were not that many producers around making material. The tickling market was not saturated, and every video could find a market. Even less quality material from other producers sold. Because there was a big demand from the tickling community for tailored porn for them. And they got it.

15 years changes a lot of things. Barriers to selling have faded with C4S and laptop editing suites. Where the 'buy in' to edit and sell videos was once many thousands of dollars, its now almost nothing. Now people enter the market easily. We have dozens of production houses ranging from large to small. There is no shortage of tickling material out there.

So producers diversify. They find things to add in. Forced orgasms/orgasm control play (a strong co-fetish to tickling) Wrestling, non-con fantasy, tickling mixed with sex, etc. Others focus on one aspect of pure tickling, stockings, just feet, stocked tickling. Others break down by lee type, by race, age, look.

This is a mature market. Producers look for ways to stand out. Create a brand identity.

Stop and think about the producers you recognize easily. There is something in their videos that makes you think "Ah-ha! thats from Producer X" And thats the goal.

For some that will be sexual content.

It's a healthy sign. It means our market is diverse, and healthy. And has room for all sorts of tickling media.

ShiningIce I totally agree with you, just tickle that's all I want to see.

Me too!

This has gotten me curious lately. Having seen some of the older videos, such as MTPs old stuff and Realtickling's old stuff, I got rather acclimated the concept of tickling videos being separate from your pornography films. So recently I decided to browse some of the new video producers, even some of the more popular ones... and I can't help but feel I've clicked the wrong link, since the majority of what I see consists of forced-orgasms, oral sex, vibrators and everything under the sun except for tickling.

Now, I'm not trying to be ugly, but more curious- what originally prompted some (not all, but some) of the industry to turn this way? It feels like finding a pure tickling vid these days is something of a precious gem, and I'm wondering where it all started and what has prompted this shift in industry.

I'm probably repeating what others have said but here's my attempt and answering. It's probably either a flood of constant requests, or trying to appeal to other fetishes and co-fetishes as well maybe? Could be broadening their material. Getting more traffic and more sales? I'm just guessing cuz it's hard for me to say seeing as I've only just started. Even my site has a co-fetish with feet since feet and tickling with a great deal of people go hand in hand. But I try to and will continue to try to keep it basic. Guess you could say I'm a tad old fashioned.

I do like that you brought this up. It's slightly funny to me that you did only because of the new material coming out, my friend Abbyl has often jokingly referred to this industry as "foot/tickle porn". She actually says "/" too

When Ashley Alexis Grace screwed up on her first tickling handjob and tickled me the whole time I was cumming almost 2 years ago I got so many do it again emails, thats exactly what I did. Alot of people enjoy the intensity of post orgasm torture with both male and female lees.
Then I tested the tickle and bj market people went nuts. When I started the licklish lesbians series everybody screamed more more more so the next step logically was tickling and sex. I produce in all the clothed, topless and campy light tickle game style genres too and I am not satisfied with a few giggles, I like it when they beg.
To call light teasing tickles torture is wrong in my book and I take pride in making lees scream until they like it. One thing I have discovered in my short time here is the more one of my clips gets bashed for being wrong/hardcore/inappropriate the more sales it has bringing me to the conclusion that:

He Who Protests The Most Is Probably My best Customer

 

[AnnafromFinland]

Well.This is tickling media forum.Not handjob or blowjob forum.

 

[AnnafromFinland]

I'm sorry!

 

[Tickled Guy]

Well.This is tickling media forum.Not handjob or blowjob forum.

So that means if it is more than 75% tickling related and the tickle community requests more of it I'm in the right place. Thanks for your approval Anna.

Good Topic

For me it is a matter of likes and dislikes. If you don't like porn in your tickling clips don't buy it. Now I understand that tickling clips without porn are getting rare to find but they are out there you just have to keep an eye out for them. I never liked the porn. I like non nudity foot only tickling clips with a plot/storyline and never ever any males in the clip. If I want guys in my fetish clips I would go to the gay sites, since I like females thats is what I want to see, now that is just my opinion. I too find it hard to find what I like. I will say this about Tickled Guy who produces tickling/Fetish clips he has something for everyone, even if your the only person who buys a clip that none of the other customers buy he will keep trying to make everyone happy. Check out the links see for yourself I'm sure everyone will find something he or she likes.

My two cents on this one - I'm sure it's because of the lucrativeness involved in putting porn into tickle video content. I wholeheartedly am against such a practice and don't really care for those companies that have done so (they know who they are), so in that respect I completely agree with Anna.

Myriads is right though about standing out with something specific. I just think there needs to be some tact in it.

 

[rhiannon]

Personally I don't like any handjobs/blowjobs either...I just don't want to see that, so I don't buy it. The market is huge, and there are enough clips without it. 🙂

Viva la difference!

I'm glad there's a range of stuff out there. I personally like clothed tickling and I like forced orgasm. I don't like foot tickling with hairbrushes much, but I'm not going to criticise those who do. I can get excited by seeing a fully clothed women have her shoes and socks slowly removed as well as seeing a women naked with a vibrator taped to her.
Like Myriads said, as with everything it comes down to supply and demand.

I think it's sad to see when certain people in a fetish community get down on a certain segment of the same fetish community. There's enough videos out there to go around for everyone and that's a good thing. Watch what you like, don't watch what you don't.
