why do we call them tickling "models"?

[TicklingIsLife]

Do the models themselves consider themselves as "models"? Has anyone actually admitted they were a tickling model?
I think a better word for the ticklee's would be....victim

I think the best word for tickler's is "artist"

I've had the same thoughts, I rarely use that term: I call them my 'lees or my ladies. 🙂

I agree with both of you.

Started before AMT days. They're in "film" but not actresses (no or little acting involved). No term back then for 'lees (thanks Max!) so they were models.

Weirded me out when I was doing the Solefully Yours website, 'cause I figured actor was the better term, 'cause they were acting like this was a common activity, and, well, sadly, it ain't. 😉

I guess it's because on all online platforms for photographers or 'moviemakers', the girls getting photographed and filmed are called models. Since they get money for it they are not really victims! 🙂

tickle "models"

haha agreed.

TICKLE VICTIMS would be a great one

Although I agree that "victim" is much more descriptive (and accurate, lol), I think you wouldn't get as many responses to an ad looking for a victim vs. a model, lol.

And yes, I refer to myself as a model (well former anyhow) - for lack of a better word. I am not an actress, that much I know, lol.

One explanation is that some of them are hired off of websites for models or advertise themselves as models. 😀

One can more easily volunteer to model than to be a victim. If the producers here, or those that preceded them, asked for victims, you'd never have seen a tickling video.

You'd have read about producers being arrested, though. *shrug* The law gets weird about people asking for victims.
