Well, I'm going to end my boycott of Real Tickling, now that TIB stated his view this time without seeming Gestapo like or like he was trying to be a control freak.
Of course, this is still a question I have for everyone commenting here, and anyone else who wants to chime in: If I buy a tape, and don't want it anymore, how do I get rid of it fairly? I don't want to just throw it away, though that is an option. But in that case, hell, I'll just keep it. The reasons people get rid of tapes is not to hurt any company, they're just tired of them, or they find they have too many, or they just need the money. I'm in that last bracket, and it's a testament to all we're saying. I would never copy a tape and sell it, and right now I'm broke. I'm sure those who are doing this copying are certainly not strapped for cash. Yet, I still wouldn't stoop to that level. (I've hocked most of my mainstream VCR tapes at pawn shops, and CD's, now I'm trying to sell my books.)
There aren't any jobs in south Louisiana anywhere! My God, WalMart isn't even hiring! WalMart is always hiring! I regret going to school all those years. BUT, I may as well give me talent and ideas to you guys, so you can profit. And then if I ever get a job, I'll buy the tapes you make, and then it'll be worth it! BUt enough of my rantings...
On to address my earlier post, I still won't buy any tapes any time soon, because I have no money, and there's nothing out there that I like, yet.
Now, TIB, you said that you just do tickling videos, after I mentioned about broading your horizons. But you HAVE expanded. When I had a subscription to your website (and Jeffs) there were categories for pantyhose and heels, barefeet, bondage, models, and just tickling. Theer are certain levels or categories of fetish out there. Most on the net is the "woman with her legs up in the air looking teed off" category, as I call it. Low quality, darkly lit, only done for a profit and that's all. I put the male bondage, sucking, etc. areas into that category. There's enough of that out there already. Most people here, from a few recent posts, stated their dislike for that.
Then there's tickling, and everything related to that...by that I mean, those earlier groups merged into each other. But dangling, barefeet, pantyhose, socks, light bondage associated with tickling all can center around tickling -ie: they all eventually lead up to tickling. That's why I put them all together. The girl is posing on a chair or in her office in pantyhose, because it leads up to her coworker coming in and tickling her on those feet while in that chair, or whatever. Or, the girl coming home and taking her shoes off and walking around in socks or barefeet or hose will eventually get tickled after she sits done in her recliner.
I think the frustration is, having to wait maybe once a year, if even that, to buy a video to each of our liking. Like, for example, you had Sydra in a recent video. She had a great laugh, and I loved the video clip where she was in the chair while Sandra tickled her feet. And I thought, if only she had pantyhose on, it would have been perfect. Or other guys may have said, if only she had socks on, that would have been great. How hard would it be to do a video with hose on, then pause the camera, take the hose off, then shoot it with barefeet, then pause it again, and shoot i with socks on, for those who like that?
If there was a site that would offer the RealTickling videos with like, one with hose, one bare, and one socks, and I don't know what other's like, I would have bought several of the past videos that you guys produced. I'm trying to solve the problem of only producing for a broad, but limited audience. FM Concepts has succeeded in doing that, they have one site for pantyhose videos and pictures, left the main site for barefeet, and then even added one for socks.
The misc. pics of just the girls posing in hose or barefeet I kepe mentioning would add to your audience who hold that interest, because I know there isn't much of that out there. Basically, I think people want to see "natural" pictures of woman, not the hardcore porn anymore. There are actually quiet a few sites with that area in mind, but most are just pictures taken in public places, they are low quality, the women don't even know that the pictures are being taken, on and on. People here tell stories about being in situations where their coworker walks around the office in barefeet, or pantyhose, or kicks her feet up on the desk or chair, and how they love it, yet there are really no sites like that out there...just normal, everyday life that is more exciting than the hardcore crap out there. And, obviously, since your mainstay is tickling, all these situations would lead to the girls being tickled after they dive the guys crazy by kicking their feet up on the desk or sofa.
I'm talking something that would take a few minutes to do, also. You could tell the girl to walk to the desk or chair she will be tickled in, that has already been lit, lounge for about a minute, take her soes off, put them back on, have the tickler enter the scene, and have at it. You could get a set of 30 or 40 shots in only a few minutes, and still save most of the time for tickling.
Two, a see a lot of little video clips on your webpage, but don't see any full length videos of them. Some of those, (yes, even barefoot ones) I'd buy, but they aren't listed. Like, Rachelle and Susan on that bed, or all the other stuff with those two, or Sydra and Sandra in the hotel room. And there's a lot of videos that don't feature photo sets, like Nurse Gone Bad, most of the earlier videos, etc. There's just so much extra stuff that I wish I'd see, and would love to buy, that's just not there, but looks like it could have been done. Like, there are photos, but no video, or video, but no photo sets. Why not do everything, then offer it all to those who want it?
There's also a lot of subjects that I've never seen done.
-I've never seen any, none whatsoever, wedding tickling pics. Brides, guests, anything. There are whole groups that are into reception pics, and they would eat that stuff up. You could gain a LOT of new subscribers and customers with that stuff. I've got an old wedding dress I found at a garage sale a few years back. I was going to use it a a costume for the elf queen, but decided on a meaner looking elf instead, so scrapped the idea. I can send it to you free of charge if you'd like to use it...but I need a job first, so I can pay for the shipping cost....
-I've never seen a lady in nice, flat shoes being tickled. You always see heels, but never low heels or flats.
You never see sandals that often either, sandals with heels, with or without hose.
-superhero stories is something that doesn't really interest me, but obviously there are a lot of people who like it, since so many cartoons and stories and fakes feature them. Why not try some of those? Harmony has a site dedicated to that, so you can give them some competition.
-I rarely see a video where a girl is tickled in socks, as I've mentioned earlier. I don't know if I'd go for that, but I know people like that.
-I know some people like simple plots in videos, though some don't. I wouldn't mind seeing more of those.
-I just think, and from the people whom complained about the hard core porn, and the people are excited about Francois new videos, that folks are looking for something...CLASSY! That's the word I've been trying to grasp all this time. They want something new, nice, well done, light hearted, even.
Basically, if you can draw in all these poeple who like this other stuff, and tell them, "hey, we offer the things you like, but we also have a lot of tickling realted stuff," they will join for their area, but maybe, hopefully, you will either discover new ticklephiles, or convert some people to us.
