Interview With Yaqi

Yagi Interview

Yagi seems to be an very arrogant person. As a member of TMF, I enjoy the free expression and discussions about tickling with like minded and intelligent people.
 
Got to agree with Coolman regarding DOTCOMEDY TV show. This was a no budget/no viewer/graveyard slot/one season wonder, which ITV specialise in. What was especially disappointing about it, was that Yaqi did not get to Tickle Gail Porter (crikey I would still be having counselling now if he did), but instead Tickled some bearded guy instead, who was strapped to a trolley. Thus that immediately ends up sending a confusing message to everyone who was viewing !

However what I will say for Yaqi is this:
1) Just like Jeff and one or two others, he has stuck his neck out risking ridicule or worse, with his website, videos and TV appearances. He would not be the first person in any field of human activity, who having taken a risk and seen it come off, let it go to their head and start crowing on 'why everyone isn't more like yours truly'.

2) In a lot of respects what he has said is absolutely right in my case. Tickling is something I will never be able to come to terms with in an upfront, wear my badge in public, this is what I demand from a relationship, sort of way. If he thus looks down on my people like me SO WAAAAAAAAAT. I don't know the guy, he has no bearing on my life. All I want to know is does he have any new material I can download for free!
 
In answer to comments some of you made...........

DONT THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT YAQI DOESN'T READ THE TMF DAILY! I'D BET MY PAYCHECK THAT HE DOES!

There I have said my peace. Now let us never speak of this again.


Hey! :mad: How come you get to have the last words on the subject?


No, but honestly you made some good points. And I can't wait until you say your "piece"..................... because your "peace" was really great to read. :p
 
Yaqi? (what the hell kind of name is that? if you're gonna create a 'stage name' please dont pick 4 random letters out of a hat!) Anyway, he mentioned something along the lines that all of us should "come out" and be completely open with our tickling fetish like him. Easier said than done. The facts are that the mainstream DOES think we are perverted, and DOES think we are weird. We have to play within society's rules a little bit. We have no choice. So any of us with any pride can't just go insane and go on TV shows and tickle men and retarded people and talk about illiciting laughter from and infant. Yaqi, the truth is it's easier to do such a thing if you already have no friends, no family, to worry about hurting. But if a person is already at the bottom of the "friends/social life" category, they don't have anything to lose by looking like a freak. Isn't that true Yaqi?
 
BTW??

B.T.W.,... simple, "By The Way", ha ha, some people overcomplicate the simplest things. Sighhhh.
BTW, Didn't Yaqi come on here a while back with some of these remarks? Or was it a hoax? Does he even come on this site at all?
 
hate to say I told you so!

I was saying this stuff about yaqi a year ago, but my TMF was deleting my posts saying they were too offensive. Funny none of these have been deleted.

My two cents

First,I DO NOT post a lot on this site because I have little to say. When I DO post, it's because I believe that I can communicate something that people may benefit from and that, in my opinion is worthwhile.

Regarding Yaqi:

I know I will probably get a lot of folks angry here, but I too read the entire interview and have to say that Yaqi should be commended for saying his piece...regardless of who may have been offended.

This guy has many points to make about the tickling community, and has bent over backwards over the years to share his stuff with us. Furthermore he's taken tickling to a new plateau and has brought it out of the closet or bedroom and into peoples discussions and onto thier TV's.

All I've ever noticed is people bashing this guy. He has given some folks some reasons I suppose, but from what I've been able to glean, he's been hurt immeasurably by folks in this community! No wonder he's developed the attitude that he has! I believe that Yaqi was telling the truth as he views it in the interview...and (given the treatment he's received)why would the folks here expect anything less than to be damned by his interview? I'm not hurt in the least...the guy told the truth according to Yaqi!

My point is...

The guy IS definately one of us! (He's been around since the beginning!)

He's been VERY successful in getting tickling to be viewed in a mainstream light! (I've not seen much else from anyone?)

He has been successful in marketing HIS videos! (He should not be damned for this...he makes a great video!)

His appearances...(those that I've seen) have NOT been an embarassment to ticklers around the globe, but have given US an opportunity to be viewed in a more positive light.

I would like to personally thank Yaqi for all that he's done for tickling and promoting the sport! Call it fetish, freak, predelliction, fascination, obsession, sickness or whatever...We all are interested in tickling and we all should be grateful that a guy like Yaqi (arrogant or not) had the balls and fortitude to step out and play publicly...at the risk of being ridiculed and ruined by Dick Clark, Howard Stern, Dot Comedy, MTV or whomever.

THE GUY DID IT! I did'nt, you did'nt, no one else accept Jeff and a few fetish/ S&M clubs have even brought tickling to the level that Yaqi has...

He's been BASHED so hard by this community and on other forums...that I'm sure he'll NEVER return, and I for one can't blame him. Do you? Really?

I think the guy's a hero and wish him nothing but the best!

Thank you Yaqi! Keep up the good work...though please try not to bash the internet community in the process even though you have every right!

Flatfoot said:
He's acting just like our chat room troll,

Funny you should mention that Flatty. Remember what I said about deja vu' and doubting his "harmlessness"? I was talking to the troll for almost two hours the other night. We actually got into quite a deep conversation, and no matter how much I disagree with his motivations the guy is incredibly intelligent. The frightening thing is that all the points of view he was giving me were exactly the same as Yaqi's and even phrased in the same damn words!:scared:

However, one thing I know about the troll, is that he's a brilliant mimic. He was impersonating me in the chat room one night. I know because when I tried to enter the room, it told me that BigJim was already in use as a chat nickname. I then tried BigJimUK and got in sucessfully. This "other" BigJim was chatting away quite happily and even I couldn't have told the difference. I'm one of the few people who bother to use punctuation and capital letters when I'm chatting in the TMF chat room and this guy was. He was even using english spellings of words that are spelt differently in american-english. (Humour-humor arse-ass honour-honor etc, etc, etc.)

It might be the troll deliberatley mimicing the guy, is my point. The way he's behaved sometimes; it would'nt suprise me, but I would'nt bet my pension on it.

Dang, there's more "Mod. edits" on here than there is comments left now. I was kinda wanting to read what all they had to say, good or bad, but oh well. Gotta flex that muscle, I guess.
 
I see my buddy Yaqi is back in the hotseat. Before this thread gets locked, which will probably be soon, I have some input.
Yaqi has a long history of having friction with the Tickling community in general. I am not going to try and defend his comments because alot of them are certainly drastic. He has called all sorts of people all sorts of names, and nobody likes that.
To the best of my knowledge, as a video producer/distributor, he has not ripped anybody off or excepted payment for non-delivered goods. The only thing that I've seen him do that was detrimental, business wise, is piss off alot of potential clients. That was Yaqi's decision to make.
Although Yaqi does not jell well with the group, he has produced some quality stuff, and he has always delivered. I have yet to see a "Yaqi robbed me post".
Regardless of what anyone says, I will ALWAYS consider Yaqi tickling Jenna Jameson one of the alltime great moments in the history of tickling, mainstream or otherwise, and it was also FREE to all. Unlike some, I can understand why he was unable to get her boots off. I think the "boots" comment was really one of the straws that broke the camel's back with Yaqi. He tried to tickle this starlet as quickly as he could, before any of Howard's producers or people could change the subject, and he did a damn good job of tickling her. All he got for his trouble (from some, not all) was "It was a waste of time. He didn't take her boots off". Is it really that surprising that Yaqi finds a great portion of the tickling community to be unsupportive?
So I say this. Appreciate his genius. Feel free to dispute his other opinions, because some of them were rude. But don't let your opinions about his poor interpersonal skills effect your opinions about his work.
The one thing that alot of the pioneers, like Yaqi and Kuj, seem to look down upon are the mainstream scenes. I have always been a fan of good mainstream scenes. Not everyone has the chance to tie and tickle women on a regular basis, so it's not hard to understand why a quaker in the middle of Utah might look forward to some old Avengers episodes.
 
My my my.

One thing that strikes me... he claims to have sold 100,000 copies. If that number is true and we assume $25 per copy that's a $1/4 million dollars (less tapes and production).

:wow: :wow:

Maybe he doesn't think he'll need to sell any more videos (if he managed his money right).
 
Wall$treet

can I ask why you consider Jenna Jameson such a "Holy Grail" of our little hobby? I mean, I'd never even heard of the dame until people started throwing her name around in connection with Yaqi. A little digging on my part and I find out she's... a porn star? Um, okay.

I realize that some porn stars get really popular for reasons I can't quite fathom; is it an envy issue? "We" all "want" Jenna so we envy the guy who "got" her? I dunno, she's hot n' all, but you make your own videos with gals just as good-looking as her. Can't be envy. So what is it?

Me, I don't see the appeal. You make it seem like Yaqi tickled Jenna as some kind of "favor" to us all and we spit in his face by biyatching that he didn't take off her shoes... well, I really doubt Yaqi did it for any reason other than to lord it over everyone that he tickled a porn star. He wouldn't have provided the footage (which I haven't seen, anyway) except to brag about it or promote himself. I really doubt it was out of the goodness of his heart...
 
Mod Edits

I find it kind of interesting that others adding to this thread can call Yaqi a psycho, or (...) and I get edited. I know why it was edited, I just don't think it was warranted.
Sorry if we seem arbitrary in our judgements. We try to cut down every post so it falls within the golden rule guidelines. It's a long thread, and it's tiresome work. You posts, tieler, were edited by me. They are highly valid, I only clipped about seven words from them to make them viable for the forum. No offense meant, and the general tone and meaning was left alone.
Dang, there's more "Mod. edits" on here than there is comments left now. I was kinda wanting to read what all they had to say, good or bad, but oh well. Gotta flex that muscle, I guess.
No, "flexing that muscle" comes when we get seriously sick of devoting our time to make sure that everyone abides the rules they accepted when deciding to become a member of this forum. Until know, we're merely doing a very long-winded and tedious job trying to uphold our forum rules. "Flexing" is a whole different ballgame.

Cheers all! And remember: The Golden Rule. :)
 
Phineas-- As far as mainstream goes, Jenna is perhaps on a Grail level (I hope no one is offended by that remark. Read Phineas' post so you understand the context that I mean it in). I would put Pamela Anderson tickled on Stern on that same level.
Let me ask you guys: As far as mainstream scenes go, what would you guys put as a higher mainstream occurence then Jenna being tickled?
Phineas was unfamiliar with Jenna before Yaqi brought her to the tickling scene, so Phineas' lack of enthusiasm is understandable. I have long been familiar with Jenna, and I had seen Jenna on Stern's show many times, and always hoped that Howard would someday get her into the tickle chair. So the day Yaqi tickled her was a culmination of that hope.
Again, my question is probably fodder for another thread, but: If Jenna being tickled is NOT one of the all-time mainstream tickling occurances, then WHAT IS?
----------------------------
One other question: Isn't it odd that this thread was started by a "One Post" Newcomer, and we haven't seen hide nor hair of them since?
 
Yaqi bases his claims of superiority on the fact that he's taken tickling mainstream, brought it into the light of day to convert the heathen, and so on. He claims that while we all lurk as cowards in the shadows, he did what any REAL guy would do and went out and DID IT for all to see! He made it respectable, he says, brought fantasy to reality, as any but us TMF wimps would boldly do!

Seems to me what he did was get ridiculed as a freak on fringe-market, near-porno TV. Is that really such an accomplishment?
 
actually, Wall$treet half of my lack of enthusiasm was due to never having heard of her... the other half is an opinion that porn stars are in no way mainstream because the work they do is inherently, well, not. Who's heard of Jenna (or Asia Carrera, or any number of a hundred other so called "big names" in porn) other than heavy porn watchers? When Stern got Carmen Electra? THAT was mainstream.

anyway, difference of opinion, no offense meant. carry on. :)
 
It's interesting to read Yaqi's comments alongside of Kujman's manifesto. It's doubly interesting because they have a couple of valid points underneath the narcissism and resentment.

I confess that certain segments of this Forum bore me to tears. I honestly find it very difficult to see the appeal of Cyber-Tickling in the Chatroom, yet there are some among us who seem to treat it as the only reason to go there. I don't give a wet fart about Britney Spears, SMG, JLH, J-Lo, Pamela Anderson or any of their tawdry ilk, and I certainly have no interest in interminable polls about the 23rd Step in tickling them; yet for some among us they seem to be the totality of the sexual universe. A lot of the written fantasies in the Stories section do not do even the least little bit for me, yet there seems to be no shortage of requests for sequels to them. I don't buy videos, and I have next to no interest in downloading clips, so it's rare that I even look at the AV section even as the clamor for the latest clips proceeds at full tilt. By and large, though, none of that bothers me very much, because I recognize that nobody else's sexual Root Command Structure will be identical to mine. I simply yawn, leave them to their preferences, and move along to the sections that do interest me, which is pretty much just this one and General Discussion.

However, there are days when I wonder why I'm here. It's usually after a bit of behavior by somebody taking one of the above mentioned activities to an unacceptable extreme. It's the lurkers in the Chatroom who PC you out of nowhere and expect anyone with even a vaguely feminine-sounding handle to comply with their desires. It's the people who insist upon requesting more stuff about tickling people to death on a semi-regular basis (Gott's little fish in trousers! Why don't you just shoot her in the head or slit her throat while you're tickling her, why don't you?) and act as if we're repressive fascists if we question the appropriateness of such fare. It's the Crotch-Potatoes who pester the video producers nonstop for more free clips, new free clips, longer free clips, faster-loading free clips, clearer and larger free clips, could Jeff send one of his models to my house to give me a free hand-job while I watch the free clips; then whine about how unsatisfying the free clips were. And, as with any light source, these instances will color their surroundings and make all the things I mentioned above seem downright banal and tiresome instead of merely uninteresting. Now, if I were a borderline sociopath with a narcissistic streak that made Michael Jackson look like St. Francis of Assisi, I might conclude that entire TMF was weighed down by these people, and I'd certainly question whether or not they had a life beyond their fetish.

This is what's so interesting about Yaqi and Kujman's Manifestos. They seem to be the ones most guilty of the crime of which they accuse the entire TMF: Not having a life beyond their fetish. Both have all but stated that Tickling (Capital T) is the center, be-all and end-all, of their existence; that all acts are to be judged solely on the basis of whether they advance or retard their personal vision of Tickling; and that their having made some tickling videos and tossed some scraps to the insatiable Crotch-Potatoes is a mark of moral superiority. They brag about being "Open" about their fetish while others hide in shame. Unfortunately for them, however, there's a big difference and a thick line between "Being open about one's sexuality" and "Being confrontational about one's sexuality." I admit that I enjoy tickling and feet if asked, but I don't make it the first piece of personal information with which I introduce myself. There's a line in Inherit the Wind that goes: "The Bible is a book. It is a good book, but it is not the only book." Well, tickling is a part of my life. It is a good part of my life, but it is not the only part of my life. Kujman and Yaqi, as well as the Crotch-Potatoes above, seem to think that Tickling is the most important criteria by which all decisions should be made, but it just doesn't trump all of their unsavory characteristics.

I'm sorry, but it's 1:15 AM, I'm falling asleep in front of the monitor, and T.G.I.Fridays' onion rings are causing me severe gastrointestinal distress. I can't really remember where I was going with this. I'll have to edit this tomorrow night.

Yaqi's bashing of the tickling community seems kind of stupid and shortsighted on his part. I know he sees himself as some sort of pioneer by trying to bring this fetish into the mainstream light. However I think he seems to think that by bringing light on the subject through mainstream exposure, he will convert new people to tickling and therefore does not have to worry about who he offends in the tickling community. I hate to break it to Yaqi, but he isn't converting anyone. Sure maybe some people will bring a little tickling into their lovelife because Yaqi exposed it to them, but no one is going to be changed into a true tickling fetishist. You either are or you arent. There is a difference between experimenting with tickling and truly being into it. All of us here have been into tickling since we can remember.No one turned us on to it. We have always had this fetish. We are the people who keep this going.We buy the videos, we log on to the websites and we do the real tickling. We are the ones who get turned on by tickling, not the mainstream. TO bash us is simply stupid on Yaqi's Part. And quite frankly I think he is a poor representative of our community. I have seen him on TV and heard him on radio and he gives us all a bad name and makes us look like a bunch of creeps. Truth is most of us here are normal people who simply have a quirk to their sexuality. As far as I'm concerned Yaqi is nothing to be concerned about. There I have said my peace. Now let us never speak of this again.

By the way... I agree with most of what you have said MadKalnod. (Although I am working on having The Book for the center of my life. :p)

Tickling is NOT my life. Its part of who I am, but it is not the be all and end all of my very existance.

I don't buy videos (Don't even own a VCR), never go to his site, don't download any of his stuff... Never heard him on radio or saw him on TV.... And I really don't care how many people are tickled in public across the airwaves..... SO? LOL There are things in life that are so much more important. His words were a joke to me. I wasn't even shocked.

He is right, he doesn't owe me anything... and guess what? LOL I owe him even less. Who is he anyway? LOL

Just wanted to add that there are plenty of people who grow to love ticklng that we not "from birth" tickle lovers.

There are also some who love tickling for "non sexual" "non fetish" reasons. Couse, did Yuckky even cover that?

Hmm... Oh well.... Don't let the little boy get to ya folks... It's not worth the time and effort.

madkalnod had some great points.

i'd like to go on a tangent here and discuss one, please.
i have read here many (countless) times about masterbating while watching a clip, or video. it's usually being said in a highly derogitory manor. untill i read madkalnods post though, i thought it was all joking. now i realize what many here have been saying.
it's kind of a shock to me to see how moronicaly nieve i have been!
personaly i don't engage in this behavior, when watching clip
and videos. i just try to convince my wife that sex once a month is too little, lol.
ok, what do you others think?
