I don't really get the gripes about the hairbrush. In the same thread about wanting reality most of the same people oppose the most realistic tool with probably the widest margin of success. The truth is its easily the most effective tool in terms of number of people it affects.
I would understand if everyone used it that it might get old. But save for maybe 2-3producers, it's not really used that often and often times just not well.
I could really do without the light bondage. If I see even a fingertip sized gap in stocks I quit watching immediately, ditto for stocks resting freely on the floor or bed, and also rope bondage on any kind of living room furniture. (Looking at you, couch and ottoman users)
Often times the best tickling clips I come across tend to be from general bdsm producers because the bondage is tight and EXTREMELY immobile and professionally done, and also the tickling is done with the intent to cause as much discomfort and distress as possible, which to me can be a deal breaker if its not present.
I don't particularly like when the ticklee is comfortable and at ease, kind of defeats the purpose of the vulnerability.
Just my 2 cents.
But really about the brush, I just think if you beg for realistic angles and also are the type of person who says they tickle the places/ways that get the best reaction possible, then you are being contradictory if you hate on the brush. I'm not a fan of repetition either, but like it or not the brush works on the most people from a biological scientific standpoint. Not saying it works best on everyone, but it can't be denied that it works on the most people across the board.
