Yeah, I seem to be the only female person who doesn't like watching */f in any form. I know girls like to picture themselves as the lee, but honestly I just can't. I can't seem to get past the "jealousy" factor. Usually because the girls are super pretty and look nothing like me.
Interesting. Well to each one their own taste!
🙂 The jealously factor is a bit surprising though; not every model is very pretty, and besides most people enjoy seeing beautiful people, even of their own gender. I know that in my case, I prefer to see a cute guy getting it (or dishing it out) rather than overweight gruff bear
It also seems like every */f clip is aimed at people who are in fact attracted to women, because all the focus is on the lee, and the ler is usually either off camera, or a shamelessly really gross old dude (no offense to any old dudes reading this), or another hired pretty girl. I rarely see tickle videos where the focus is on the guy. I'm sorry but I'm just not attracted to women at all. Personally, I absolutely love most kinds of */m. I guess I'm kind of a non-sexual yaoi fangirl, and in fantasy I'm also much more of a ler despite being a lee in real life.
You are absolutely right: most of the videos out there cater towards a male audience. But interestingly enough, a lot of these productions also find an appeal among the female audience, although the latter usually enjoy M/f more than F/f. That being said, there still is an /m production market for you out there, although somewhat less prominent.
There is only one part I do not agree with: yaoi
is sexual, and a prominent (usually young) woman's fantasy to boot. And if you were "non-sexual" you wouldn't be out here on a fetish forum, would you? Besides, I do not believe that there can be such a thing as a non-sexual human being. Sex is a hardwired, in-built mechanism in our species, and we can't just "shut it down" at will.
Actually, I forgot to mention something. I much prefer watching amateur ticklephiles make their own videos. It's always interesting to see other people like me in action.
I also forgot to mention that in most professional f/m videos, the focus is still on the girl. The guy usually wears a mask or is hidden in some way, which I think makes it much, much easier for male lees to project themselves into the video.
I don't like amateur videos because of the limited production values. At the beginning, the difference wasn't so big, but over time, the quality of professional vids has skyrocketed while the home made ones' remained generally not so great. That being said, if you have some amateur vids to recommend, I'll gladly take a look.
I know what you mean, I hate those mask things. It does not help me project myself at all; on the contrary, it kinds of enhances the separation between me and the wearer. Plus it usually looks dumb; granted, a lot of them wear those for privacy reasons... but then again why make on-camera work in the first place, then? Don't wanna blame them too much though, some of them are outstanding ticklers. The TIB wore a balaclava during his whole career, and he was
torturing those poor girls, thus I still got some of his clips back in the day.
Come to think of it, it could be fun seeing a clip focusing slightly more on the tickler instead of the ticklee, provided he or she would be good looking and had exceptional skills. Would learn things in the process, and sometimes seeing them exercising their craft is arousing in its own right.
