Excellent thread, my man. Good stuff!
For years I found one of the things lacking in most tickling vids (that did it for me, at least) was strict bondage leaving most tickle spots vulnerable and immobile... Tommy from Tickle Abuse really stepped his game up incorporating so many different restraint systems that truly restrain the ticklee, so I've been very satisfied on that part. I love see the lee' bucking and thrashing but to no avail... it truly adds to the intense, helpless feeling inherent to tickling that I love so much.
Deff girl-next-store types; one of the most peculiarly endearing aspects of this fetish is how strange it must look to those not aware of it, and how varied, fresh and different it is year by year... so unlike conventional porn. I liked the fact that because the fetish is not so widely known, most vids featured random chicks responding to "tickle ads". I'm not necessarily complaining about the influx of retarded-hot models, but as Leo said they all start looking the same.
I like nudity, but I love the concept of forced nudity (the lee doesn't want to remove their clothing and is visibly embarrassed to do so). Being punished by having articles of clothing removed after safewording is one of the hottest scenarios I can think of.
And above all, I would push the models right to the brink of outright loss-of-control... I don't think we see that enough and I really dig the torturous stuff (obviously in a safe, controlled, consenting environment).
Ummmmmm, oh yeah, and production values... I know it's super expensive but I would want at least three camera angles, adequate lighting, and a dungeon-esque feel to it.
I must say, though, compared to, say, fifteen years ago, we're in the Golden Age of our peculiar proclivity!
