Why is there so few F/M?

[Texas_Tickle]

I know that there are more guys VS girls who are into tickling, but I do know there are ladies are out there, but why do we not see many F/M producers?

This is something that has had me in wonder ever since I found the online tickling community back in 1996. It has always seemed that f/f is the most preferred genre, with m/f trailing behind.

It's kind of surprising, really. I would think that a lot of women would get a kick out of tickling a guy, driving him into uncontrollable laughter, making him squirm, and she being the only one who will decide whether it will stop or continue.

 

[Texas_Tickle]

We are a rare breed.

While the guy/girl ratio is lopsided, I refuse to believe that the ladies are NOT out there. As a matter of fact, I am willing to bet there are quite a few women lurkers, who for whatever reason, have not yet stepped forward.

Hell, if anybody ever wanted to make a video and tickle a dude senseless, I hearby offer myself as the guinea pig

 

[Stage Whisper]

I don't get it either. Maybe it's because m/f and f/f are just the "expected" roles? After all... the only f/m tickling that I can recall in any given movie off the top of my head is maybe a mother playfully tickling her young son. And that doesn't really count for our purposes here, does it?

For my part, I do indeed "get a kick out of" seeing a guy get tickled, or doing the deed myself (though that's a very rare occurrence, unfortunately).

Just as well, 'cause their ain't a women here who can break me!

I'd like to say the same, but ......... I dunno

People who generate the tickling media tend to cater to their own preferences, and since the majority goes for */f content (site statistics), that's what is present on the board (or internet in general).

 

[april]

Im all for f/m. While my lee side fantasizes about being tickled by a f, my ler side generally 99% wants to tickle a m. Now all I have to do is convince my husband lol!

 

[Comfort Eagle]

Im a guy, but I like F/M.

There was this one clip from about 7 months ago, 2 girls, one on the feet and one on upperbody, tickling this guy on a bed, that was really good clip. But it was on YouTube, and the batards took it off.

But yeah, F/M is cool.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

As ticklegothgirls noted, not just girls like the F/m. HDS enjoys most any sort of /m, be it F/m or M/m.

The reason is likely what tickledorange noted: economics. Tickling Producers exist to satisfy a need or want. As most wants tend to be for /f material, most producers exist to serve that. Note that there are or were a number of producers that did do some /m works. TickleJapan has done some, although ordering from them used to be a hassle. Silver Cherry, I believe, did a number of videos along the /m lines. Footfriends and ModelGuysFeet both had there share, if I remember correctly. At the moment, I am aware only of TicklishGuysOnline actively (Well, somewhat actively) making such material, although they concentrate on M/m with a sprinkling of F/m. There are others whose names escape me at the moment.

I agree, but who's to say that F/F, or M/F has to be the rule and law of the land? I would love for a producer to start making F/M.

Women are so sexist on this bored. That must be what I love about them. I have some F/M stuff in my Story Archieve. I mainly got into it because I felt my story's were heading towards a more erotic turn and I wasn't comfortable having the guy in the agressive position.

I think it comes down to money. Its like the thread asking video producers to have less nudity in their clips. TiB said that its the clips with the nudity that sell the most. While there are plently of ladies out there who love f/m and plenty of guys, I would guess that men are much more likley to buy tickling clips than women, and that the vast vast majority of men who buy tickling clips want f/f. So this means that producers make f/f clips, so they sell the most.

The Nail has been hit HARD on the head. Women should buy more clips with F/M content, and then the F/M market would get better. HA! stop blaiming me for everything ;P

There is some truth to the "skin sells" philosophy, but I refuse to believe there is not a viable market for F/M.

 

[metroguy2k4]

First, I don't think the problem would be solved by more women buying this or doing that. I would guess that 90 percent of tickle clip buyers are male. This is a guy's market.

Now, on to the issue of why there is such a dearth of f/m material. I think the problem is one of supply and demand. Video producers will go where the money is. Apparently, they've discovered that what sells best is f/f, followed by m/f, followed by m/m (largely for the gay male market), and then f/m.

Now, I'm a huge f/m fan. It's my favorite kind of tickling clip. I'll watch f/f if I have to, but m/f does nothing for me. The reason is that I am pretty much exclusively sexually submissive, and so the object of my sexual desires in a tickling clip is going to be the one in control, i.e., the ler. Which is why the clips that I enjoy are the ones with the f in the ler role.

The thing is, I think guys who want to see the f as ler (that is, in control of the sexual experience) are few and far between. I think the vast majority of men want to see the f as lee. I think that men are by nature sexually dominant, and I think we men who are sexual subs are statistical outliers. As such, clips with the f as lee will always outsell clips with the f as ler, which means f/m will always lag behind f/f and m/f.

The only way to get the producers to make more f/m is to BUY more f/m.

 

[Texas_Tickle]

I'm not saying F/M will ever replace or even coming close to replacing F/F or even M/F. I just think that if a producer made quality F/M vids, there is a market for it. I know I for one would buy it.

And I have a feeling I am not alone.

I added a poll. Please click here for the poll

 

[kurchatovium]

I agree Ticklemaster750. I have always been a fan of F/M. Its only recently that you see more interest in it and more clips of it. So I am optimistic. 😀

 

[tickler_n_black]

There are plenty of women out there who enjoy tickling the hell out of a guy. Finding women ticklers is easy for us. The problem we've run into as producers is ... there are very few guys who are all of the following 4 things:

1) super ticklish
2) have a half way decent looking body
3) are willing to be videotaped being tied and tickled
4) are in the Los Angeles area




.

 

[indivision]

I think another problem, as other people have suggested, is the quality of the f/m vids that are available currently. A lot of f/m vids that I see are bad in that the guy is either not very ticklish (or barely ticklish at all) or the female tickler can't seem to move past all the "I've got you nowwwwww....goochy goochy goo!" and just tickle the guy.

 

[The_Raptor]

hmmm man,the answer is simple,maybe there isn't a big market 4 F/M bec F/M(like F/F) is more mainstream(happens greatly in realife)and tickling incidents with non-tickling people outside the community,cartoons,movies,..... have these 2 preferences greatly satisfied(search youtube and other sites 4 mainstream F/M and u'll see),M/F is more fetish that happens rarely in real life,there is a need to satisfy it and also the number thing helps so many producers make it,
but i think F/M fans r growing in numbers these few months,and i do think that F/M will be as a a favourite here as F/F of course won't replace F/F or M/F but will eventually comes close.

Wait. I'll go as far as to change "very few guys" to NONE AT ALL. We can't find one guy that meets the above requirements. We've got hot girls waiting and wanting to tickle a bound guy but no one will step forward.

Hmmm....Maybe I might have the requirements awhile after I move to CA

Lets see....super ticklish? Check.
Halfway decent lookin bod?...hm, I'll have to work on that for a lil while , but I probably could get in shape enough lol...although I'm also shorter than the average guy).

Willing to be videotaped and tied/tickled by hot girls? Hell yeah .

In L.A.?...Nope(I'll be livin in Napa), but if #4 is changed to "willing to travel to L.A.", then hell yeah.

Ok, I agree on how F/M is more mainstream in terms of movies/cartoons/etc., but M/F and F/F is far more common in everyday life between people, or atleast has been as far as I've seen.

but i think F/M fans r growing in numbers these few months,and i do think that F/M will be as a a favourite here as F/F of course won't replace F/F or M/F but will eventually comes close.

Now this part I agree with fully. Seems I'm seeing more and more guys and girls leaning towards F/M here. On one hand, it seems that any guy that claims to be a switch leans towards being a lee most of the time, while any female switch tends to lean towards being a ler more often. Of course if this is the case then it's easily explained, but that's besides the point.

Then on the other hand malees, like malers (maybe even moreso), are very adamant about turning a female to what they want them to be to suit their preference. Femlers can also try to convince femlees to become lerish, but that's not as common of course.

So basically, I already see F/M becoming more and more popular (why, I'll never understand though 😛), but unless media producers can start finding more guys that meet any requirements like TIB listed, the chances of more F/M media aren't to great that things will change too much.
