Tired of:
-- hairbrushes and electonic thingamajigs. Don't lose them completely, but fingers on the skin are more traditional (I guess??) and look like more fun, too.
-- men as ticklees who don't lose controll like the women do. I like it when women seem to enjoy their tickling. I like it when women totally lose it, too. I'd like to see more guys totally lose it, too. Make THEM cry, too!
---- tickling for no reason. Oh, I'll take it, for sure; it's still tickling after all. But a little plot can spice things up. Even if it's a revenge video or someone slept with some elses's boyfreind/girlfriend. I was raised on 1980s Cal Star stuff. There was a ton of story and tickling there.
--- don't cut the video right after the tickling action. Let the tickling end, and keep the video going to get some of that "after effect" reaction or come-down from the stimulation.
--- zero taunting. No verbal interaction. No, please, give me something. Some kind of interplay. Just don't make it annoying.
-- 'antiseptic' tickling. While I do like the concept of a cold, methodical tickler tormenting someone relentlessly (there are some great videos for that), I'd love to see some M/F, F/F, or F/M tickling that has some affection, some sweet talk, some hugging or kissing in it, too, before, during or after the tickling. Make some of the videos as much about intimate social reaction as it is testing someone's endurance. Verbal teasing would fit in 100% here.
--- fake "torture" videos. I don't mean break the law or take someone beyond accepted limits. But I mean, and this is kind of bold.... but if you are going to use this scenario, I mean if you really want to go there as a producer.... if you live in a consentual BDSM relationship and the tickling is going to be used for punishment, then really do it. If you are talking more of a somewhat fantasy scenario, then ramp up the reality a bit by having the safe word be something that the "victim" truly wouldn't want revealed. Once that word is revealed the action stops. Everything is still in control of the ticklee. Tickle someone in a "torture" video until they reveal, as their safeword, their SS# or phone n umber. Something that would be on the model release anyway, but the genral public wouldn't have access to. No, it WILL NOT violate their privacy, and here's how it won't: in editing, bleep out the number and blur their mouth when the 'secret' is revealed. It's about the psychological element to the situation, not doing actual harm to the person. This could be done with sadism or affection.
-- the ads for the videos themselves. "THIS is an incredily intense video!" "This is our most brutal video yet!" Yes.... until it is time to market the next one.
"Well, why don't you just make your own, if you know so much?" With another producer, I have shot some. They don't come out the way I like them, so I stopped persuing it and therefore I DON'T FORCE A PRODUCT OUT ONTO THE FETISH PUBLIC THAT IS A COOKIE-CUTTER PRODUCT LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. Dang, man!
