WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS INDUSTRY?! (OR: "Why do most clips SUCK...?!")

[ticklish_spirit]

I can't speak for everyone but for my self at the least I will say that I don't come here for the fetish. I come here for the community. As it has been said, a fetish is just a fetish. Everyone has them, and they're all different. It's just part of being a member of a species like us. Tickling and it's assorted fetishes mean different things to all of us. But it's something that we all share in common and so caused this community to be born. Some of us proudly and loudly proclaim ourselves as "fetishists" and others of us hate to bear such lables. But what we call ourselves dosen't really matter. If you're happy with yourself then THAT is all that matters. The community is still the community, and it always will be.

When a large group of people coexist in one place with a small set of shared affinities then someone somewhere will see profit in it. That to is just a part of human nature. When profit is seen in something it spurs into motion the wheels of creation and, hopefully, innovation. In the end, it's the artistic minds that create simply to feed their desire to create that bring the most wonderful things into our world. And, again, someone somewhere will see profit in that.

Hehe, hm, maybe I got a little to melodramatic there. I guess I'm just in one of those moods tonight. 😛

Ok, I have a number of points:

While I think that alot of producers have slid steadily into a more and more boring format of clips, they must be selling well to somebody or they wouldn't have moved in that direction. You are probably correct in thinking that there are niches in the market, but things won't change until someone decides to act upon it. You won't change anything with your stupid "fuck yourself" post.

If you do decide to try and create some media, good luck to you sir. I think you may be surprised at how hard it is to find models who are also great actors, enthusiastic about tickling, really ticklish, cute, and finally willing to do it. My advice would be to do what Jeff did in the days of "Magic Touch" and use broke college girls. Do you have the guts? Do you have the personality to make them feel comfortable enough to feel ticklish at all? (Also, they probably aren't going to want to get naked)

And as for the story line thing: I can accept that you might really want to see this, but many (including myself) dont. It wastes time and it makes the whole thing look fake. Isn't wanting to be paid a good enough reason? You could make up a pay scheme dependent on how much they can take. But then you'll probably drive away the most ticklish girls, and end up having to pay girls who aren't as ticklish more money.

And lastly (and I'll probably get flamed for this), may I suggest giving the tickling porn a break for a bit. It's a big world out there!

I agree with everything he said about the videos, except for the nudity. I prefer they not go completely nude.

Lately, all tickling clips are becoming uninteresting. Most don't even turn me on anymore; some even turn me off completely!

Looks like it's telling me I need to move on the real thing soon.

PS: Seriously, plots are needed!! I love it when there is plot, and build up to the tickling. Hell, usually that's more of a turn on than the tickling itself.

That was hilarious, jalexx!!
And I'm with you there, triple T 😛 If you need a camera-woman lemme know! 😛

Sounds great!,but that would be a waste of your formitable tickle torturess skills to keep you behind the camera the whole time.I don't think we could hold out for long against your hair tickling torment on our soles!

This post has been sensational in highlighting all the frustrations of us 'tickle' fans.

The only consistent 'real' tickling I ever saw was from the old site 'Tickle Japan'. They used to tickle the girls well and truly rather than just dabbling with them.

And yes we all have our preferences, but what is it with producers like TC Video now - they totally immobolise their victim and lightly 'tickle' them. For me I like the girls to be bound but a little bit or wriggling and squirming while they are being tickled does add to the attraction of the tickling experience.

There's a couple of things i liked about your post...

1) you're right about the jacking off bit.. i'd say less than 5% of this site's members actually post.. you know what the rest are doing... jacking off

2) Plot.. people say it can't be done... BULLSHIT.. with a little talent it can be done.

 

[morgandee]

the urge to tickle in itself yields an underlying subconscious sexual frustration which tries to heal itself through tickling to reduce the anxieties caused by the urge duhhhhhhh

but

for all those puristic folk who are looking for grade a material that transcends beyond the simpleton outlook of something such as this fetish

well for every one person out there who is like that, there are thousands of people who are complacent with whatever curates their SAS/ADD/syphilis

and don't get me wrong, i don't like people enough to care whether or not they get placated because in the future i will be responsible for their death via mortal kombat

but (they feel) that you can't be uptight and overly idealistic about something like this and thus take away their empty and lonely jack-off session, because being that way is "uncool" and "gay"--which would lead those, who were previously so sure of their heteroungayality, to question themselves

please don't take their certainty away, no matter how desperate and jaded they seem, and let them run away if they're scared

because, the only death they will face

is by my hands

(red eyes) muhahahaha sorry carry on

"Whats sad is you'll never get the real deal. This fetish has played a very cruel joke on all of you.

The real deal is much more than just a ticklish person laughing. The real deal is a real situation, a real location, and completely fresh material."

The real deal is someone's fingers/a feather or similar utensil running across your most ticklish regions (or yours running across theirs...). For some unfathomable reason, it's tougher to get tickled than it is to get laid (not that that's a piece of cake). There's no risk of pregnancy or HIV. But I digress.

Most porn sucks for much the same reason that most mainstream movies suck; cliche treatment of cliche subjects, rigid lowest-common-denominator formulas and cost-cutting in all the wrong places. Most porn is UGLY - made thoughtlessly and very un-sensually. Some of it suffers from RIDICULOUSLY-HIGH production values (is there such a thing as too much Photoshop? Pick up any recent copy of Penthouse and find out!). A lot of porn is geared toward a theoretical customer who's probably lonely and horny, and feeling like a loser or a pervert for having nothing but porn for a sexual outlet, and it shows. Unfortunately, a lot of involuntarily-celibate people unnecessarily buy right into this very dysfunctional behavior/thought pattern, and most porn brokers just keep the whole ugly cycle going. Thank "Bob" that there are some porn-mongers (mostly women it seems) with a much more humanistic view of their industry and clientele, who choose pleasure over guilt and alienation!

Digression aside, we tickle fanz need someone like a Candida Royalle, Mitchell Brothers or Missy Suicide on our case!

Very well said, Aenglish.

Who, who and who?

 

[aenglish]

Okay:
Candida Royalle - Feminist porn producer (yes, there is such a thing). http://www.royalle.com/

The Mitchell Brothers - 1970's porn producers who produced quality product and unfortunately, self-destructed.
http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/pornographers/mitchell-brothers/

Missy Suicide - Head honcho behind http://www.suicidegirls.com. Classic Playboy/Penthouse style nudes, but with a 21st century twist and without the silly-assed bullshit which used to go with it. The ads are for music, comics and clothing, not for rip-off "phone-sex" services or dangerous amphetamine substitutes. There are forums so that lonely guys or girls don't have to be so lonely. Have heard say that folks have actually found partners through suicidegirls.com. Just one thing - how'd they come up with that somewhat disturbing name?

 

[mercytk]

This is so funny. My pet peeve was always uscary looking (not in the way they wanna be) male ticklers who WILL.NOT.SHUT.UP. Cringeworthy.

Oh yeah, and the stupidly loose bondage.

 

[MMan]

I personally not seen many clips with a plot and its true this does suck. I will say this right here and now that one of the biggest companies in this industry Real Tickling does not do a damn thing for the indusrty. You see one clip and you see them all. Its the same old thing over and over and over again. A girl laying down on a rack tickled, a girl in a costume laying down on a rack being tickled. With all the clips that they have, they really don't have a clue whats going on. The same with a lot of others out there. If they really want to sell the videos that they have then they need to come up with more of a story and less stupidness. Tickle World, I m sorry people has not been updated in who knows how long. Come people, lets get this thing going right and stop coming up with the same lame ass clips. So if the tickle movie indusrty is out there listening, stop giving us the same old shit and start producing original idea and not just copying what was done 5, 10, 15 years ago.

Y'know, what with digital video gear being all over da place and digital video editing software being rather common these days (are you listening, Macintosh users?), I'm certain that there must be enough exhibitionists out there to shake up the established tickleporn industry, and get them to straighten up and fly right.

I don't know if it would affect regular producers (there will ALWAYS be a porn-ish element to them cause that's like...tradition or something) but having a surge in home brew tickling videos would add a great dynamic to the community and would be a benefit to all. 🙂

 

[MistressValerie1]

I agree w/ Ness and Aenglish that more competition in the marketplace should lead to more variety and better quality overall.

 

[fabian]

I think most producers are misled by the overall pornography industry which means most videos tend to be a tad on the tasteless side, I think the day someone gets girls that look like your neighbor or a girl at work, read normal, run of the mill girls, instead of models, we will witness a leap in quality.

 

[aenglish]

What the man said...porn with people in it who look ATTAINABLE instead of looking like fantasy-fodder is a thousand times hotter than much of what's out there. I think TV is partially to blame for the current glut of barbie-doll porn. I mean, when was the last time you saw an average-looking character on the tube, apart from game shows and idiot-level talk shows? I mean, porn producers grew up watching the same stuff as the rest of us.

 

[nessonite1]

Even with a stready relationship with the man/woman of your dreams there is always room for a little fantasy. It's a healthy part of the human imagination. 🙂

I don't believe that it is the clips that suck. There is a ready market out there and many people obviously like them.

The problem is that we get addicted to them, and our behaviour then becomes addictive. We are always running after the next best shot - the one that will really do it for us, just like the first few did.

I remember the first clip I saw. I could not believe there was actually something like this on the market. Wow! But I never look at those clips anymore - there is much better stuff available. Does it fulfill my ideas and fantasies? No. These have grown together with the availability of the product.

Is it therefore the industry that sucks. No, unfortunately its me.

The remedy: Go without for a month or two and then try again. There's nothing like a chastity belt to get the hormones flowing.
