Hello everybody!
As some may have noticed, not so long ago I started using a different setup for my stocks, screwing them into the back of an old armchair so that they're horizontal instead of vertical. That way the ticklee's feet are soles up instead of facing forward. Now, sales of such clips suggest that people like that setup quite a bit. But I also keep using the standard stocks setup, attaching them to my massage table so that the ticklee can sit or lie down. Because even though the horizontal setup is popular, people still seem to enjoy the standard one. It's classic, after all.
Now, I'm not entirely sure if one setup is more popular than the other, to the point of making me use one significantly more often than the other. Thing is, moving the stocks from the chair to the table in the middle of a shoot is a pain, and the other way around is even worse. So I'm wondering if I should stick to one setup per shoot. I mean, is using both redundant, or are they different enough that a customer might be interested in both?
With this poll I'm asking which setup is your favorite. I'll divide each general stocks position into two variations. I've included some thoughts about each one, as well as a picture example.
1. Standard vertical stocks, ticklee sitting or lying on back, toes up.
The usual stocks standard that gives a good direct view of the soles. The ticklee's face is clearly visible unless there's a foot close-up shot. She can interact with the tickler. Elaborate toe bondage is possible.
2. Standard vertical stocks, ticklee face down, toes down.
The ticklee's face isn't seen as much, if at all. However, if anything, the angle of the soles makes them even easier to tickle, although full toe bondage isn't convenient. The ticklee can't see the tickler at all and thus has no idea what's going on.
3. Horizontal stocks, ticklee on her back on the floor, legs straight up
A nice compact position in which the ticklee appears especially helpless. Her face isn't always easy to see. However, her soles are facing up, making them especially easy to tickle by the tickler, who can simply kneel on the chair and have the feet right in her face. Direct shots of the soles aren't easy to get, as the position requires me to shoot them at an angle.
4. Horizontal stocks, ticklee face down on bed, knees bent, feet up
This one has the same sole access advantages as the previous one. The face of the model can be seen more easily, although not as much as in position #1. Her position doesn't look as bunched up and helpless as #3, but she still can't do anything to protect her feet, of course.
So, which one of these positions do you like best? Comments are more than welcome. Thank you for your participation.
