Hmmmm? Why Buy A Video When You Can Make One?
Even the best videos put out by the best producers are substitutes for the real thing. They provide an outlet for those who are "between tickles" and collectables for those whose best tickling days may be behind them.
Instead of buying a video, you could give your significant other an incredible present by agreeing to make a video. You have the two main ingredients--a willing ticklee and an eager tickler. All you need is a camera and a tripod. If you don't have the cash to buy one, they can be rented pretty reasonably. Heck, some libraries even check them out. Most are so foolproof that school children can use them.
There are lots of pluses to the make rather than buy scenario. First, it's guaranteed to get your partner really charged up. Second, you won't have to worry about getting jealous of him watching some young thing writhe on the screen. Third, it's the gift that keeps on giving, since you will be able to watch your video again and again and get worked up again and again.
Finally, you mention that your partner is enamored of gang tickling. Well, why not invite the "TMF Gang" to help script the darn thing. We can submit our best ideas for tickling your helpless feet. You can surprise your partner with the list and let him pick. It will be kinda like we're all in the room. ("Hey, Anna, what do you think of Moriarity's clothesline between the toes technique? What's that? You want me to do the other foot? I'm sure he won't mind.")
If you want to get reallllly far out there, set up a computer next to the site where you are helplessly bound and have your partner go into the TMF chatroom. There, he can get real-time advice on tickling you. It would be as close to real gang-tickling without the gang. If you advertised the time of your filming, I'm guessing a few folks would show up to participate, and I'm pretty sure their advice will be reasonably good. Lot's of videos have four hours of tape. Let's see what gives our first--the tape, our ideas or your feet.
You could even pay for all your other Christmas presents by making copies of the tape and selling them to us. Who wouldn't want to buy a video of a real tickling that we administered long-distance.
Be bold. Give him a Christmas present that he'll remember and that the whole family (your TMF family, that is) will enjoy.
