Why do they come back for more?

[Comfort Eagle]

But the idea that these models are somehow converted into loving being tickled i think is a fantasy of its own.

I don't know, I've done it with friends who have had no idea what it was before and end up getting kind of a thrill and want to keep doing it more afterwards. They might not have been converted into having a fullblown fetish, but they did have a lot of fun with it enough to like to keep doing it.

Oh for sure. I think some folk do grow to love it for number of reasons, i just think maybe its not as common as some believe or perhaps it is not the main draw for all models who return to do more vids.

I absolutely accept that the evidence supports what you and other producers are saying, SoleMates.

I remain intrigued by my own tendency to over-interpret the behaviour/facial expressions of some of the models. It's this weird thing about tickling - that it can be enjoyable and torturous at the same time, and our reactions can be so paradoxical and confusing. And I think that my own psychological makeup is different from the models', and I am trying to plug the gap and understand it.

One thing I forgot to mention is that some of these girls are actually kinky submissives who do this because they love it - even the "suffering" part.

Mya, for example. I asked her if she had any prior experience doing tickling work before the shoot and she said that she used to sub for a guy with a tickling fetish, and that although it was torture she "loved the pain of laughing so hard". If you watch the entirety of "Fifteen Minutes of Fame", she looks completely wrung out by the end of it, but she was telling me for the next two days after how much fun she had and that she was looking forward to doing it again.

It's not hard to wrap your brain around, really - this fetish is a subset of BDSM for a lot of people and some of the shit I've seen them do would turn you white.

That would explain a lot.

Well, I'm not so sure about the whole thing. I'd say the most important reason is the money, but there are some models who might like it. For example Lolo, cali Logan, miss crash or Maria from absolutely tickled. They laugh like crazy, but if u see their facial expression, ir looks like they enjoy them self and have fun.

I think doing tickle videos has got to be a welcome change of pace for some of the models, considering some of the stuff that's out there.

 

[Amanda Cortez]

Lol yeah, and I think it's a nice way to earn money, laying there and laughing. I think I'd like it.

Honestly, this is something that intrigues me. There are times when I'm editing video and I think: "How can a person this ticklish, endure so much tickling, so willingly, when they don't officially have this kink????" It's pretty much why I ask the question "What goes through your mind on the way to a tickling shoot" in interviews. Obviously, the pay is a draw - there are maybe 2 I've worked with who would just love to be tickled period though. The ones who state they hate it, have ultimately always admitted "hate"/"torture" weren't exactly the most accurate word(s). The following in no particular order are the reasons I've hypothesized after years (**These apply to models who specifically are not "INTO" tickling, or any type of BDSM predilection**).

1. Again, obviously pay.

2. Fun. There are some who really think it's just FUN. Not erotic or a turn on or anything, just pure fun.

3. Conditioning. Some are SO USED to being tickled silly by everyone around them, THEY don't understand how they can get money for it!

4. It's just another gig. Like being in a bikini in 40degree weather, or holding a painful pose over and over, etc. They don't see it any differently than any other hurdle they may have to overcome for the success of the shoot.

5. Catharsis. Tya used to say she had to make sure she had a very serious day (or days prior to the shoot), because she would be able to release all of those stresses. Several talk about how happy and "light" they feel afterwards.

I'm sure there are others. One thing I've discovered is how personal people's relationship with being tickled can be thus how varied their reasons for loving/hating/feeling indifferent can be.

Who were the ones who just loved to be tickled period?

Thanks for your considered answer, Lioclips.

I'm pondering the points you made.

What I meant is there are maybe 2 who might come get tickled without being paid. That would be Liyah and Amani. As far as those who have confirmed their love of being tickled off the top of my head - Kryptonite, Fenix, Edyn, Lynn, Meg, Malibu, Amara.

You're welcome. Just some observations I've made.
