What are the top 3 reasons tickle models quit modeling?

[Soles_Scream]

I'm especially interested in what those who are not in the tickle content production space think i.e. tickle content consumers. What are the top 3 reasons tickle models quit modeling?

If I had to guess? The appeal just runs out. Especially considering the vast majority of them aren't into tickling the same way the people buying the videos are, it's a gig to make some money, and then the novelty just wears off.

Some have left due to their partners not feeling comfortable with them doing it. Tori from Simplytickling, this girl named Kylie who worked with HeroineUniverse, and Danica Logan who shot for a number of different producers. These three retired for this season.

Some also model as more of a side/temporary thing. Like they have regular jobs outside of modeling, and they decide that they want to focus more on that. I think I remember Tommy from TickleAbuse saying that Carmen left because she was focusing on her career outside of modeling, and also starting a family.

And then some who model full-time, like anyone within any profession, they just decide to call it a career. It was either late last year or early this year that Claire Irons announced her retirement. She modeled professionally for a good while, and she was one of my favorite models. But she just decided that it was time to move on.

Just off the cuff, I would suspect the top three would be:

1) They have done it long enough and moved on to other things.
2) They had a less than desirable experience.
3) They never did or stopped liking being tickled.

1. Money isn't as good
2. They were recognized by someone they know
3. Their boundaries were ignored more than once

Maybe piracy? Some models maybe think or rather know this is a niche, dont want their faces out there like that.

My GF - who’s a fetish model - has shared some of those threats she receives with me as well. It’s disgusting behavior by these idiot.

It’s so hypocritical. They consume our content but also want us dead??? Not to mention, how are we gonna make more content for them to consume if we’re dead? 🤣

That's crazy work to even get threats like that. Like, what's the REASONING? Are they envious that THEY aren't tickling you, or is it just some psychotic behavior thing that is unexplained??

 

[SmashTeeVee]

In no specific order…

1) They want to do something else with their life.
2) They want to start a family.
3) They don’t want to be recognised.

Others have mentioned safety concerns and bad experiences, and while I’m not naive enough to think this doesn’t happen, hopefully these incidents are few and far between.

Cheers, everybody,

I can understand why it makes some people angry. It’s hard enough to find play as it is, but then to see some people not only getting easy play but also getting PAID for it? Absolutely a jealousy thing.

That's so concerning. That's why I keep the community at arm's length and never go to things like NEST or just any gathering. I'm not calling anyone specifically out, but it just feels like no one has any control over their desires and urges. And I'm a guy, I can't imagine what it's like to be a female in the industry.

Hell, I just saw Emiru, the Twitch streamer, get randomly assaulted by a guy(assuming it's a follower). I can't imagine what it's like for a fetish model

I gave up trying to psychoanalyze people who behave in unhinged ways.

WT actual F? Seriously?? I know it's the interwebz but... jeez. That's ridiculous.

I was going to say:

1) Doxxing/stalking - the case of Prya from tickle abuse is probably the best known, it almost wrecked her life so the story goes. There was a model here (Victoria something) who was stalked or about to be doxxed so she quit and deleted everything. Always the assholes spoiling it for everyone else.
2) Piracy and content sites - shooting non-nude niche content for a small audience is one thing but once it goes up on the content sharing sites and hubs then you're now working in porn. I can't imagine a lot of girl-next-door, non-professional models ever thought they might end up on adult content platforms. I can only guess that some of the sites like FT and Czech which seemed to find endless cute women to tickle are now limited to more professional models who will shoot tickling content.
3) Models moved on with their lives. This was a thing they did at a certain time in their lives and then they focused on career, family etc.

I'll never get why people treat models like this. Even if it's not threats, it's still people who only see them as objects.

Tomiko is someone I've interacted with a lot. I've ordered a number of customs with her. One of the absolute best, and also just one of the sweetest people. Last year, she posted on X/Twitter about a customer who was just awful to her because due to a funeral overseas she was attending, she was temporarily pausing on taking custom orders. I don't leave replies to models/producers on X for privacy reasons, so I messaged her with my condolences. This customer was someone she's interacted with before, and she'd only been kind to him. But the dude became an asshole because he had to wait like 2 weeks to place another order.

The talent moving on from fetish (not necessarily due to bad experience) is in the top 3 reasons. The behavior of "fans" is definitely in there as well. Producer/creator behavior is probably in there as well.

For sure. I remember many years ago a hint was dropped on here that the dude over at Tickle Central wasn't behaving properly with his models. And then Taylor Raz about two years ago confirmed it on X/Twitter. Someone asked her about the feet store the dude used to run, and she told the person that he'd passed away. Raz then said that the industry is better/safer without him, and revealed that he had sexually assaulted models.

Yes, but people (well guys in this case) need to realize that is life. Some guys have advantages with women, others (myself very much included) don’t.
