1) When the lee holds back her laughter, doesn’t laugh at all, screams instead of laughs or just has an odd sounding laugh. The lee’s laughter is the most important thing to me, so if it isn’t a laugh I like it ruins it for me.
2) When the lee is clearly in distress. I don’t mean when the tickling is unbearable, I mean when you can clearly see the lee is not enjoying the scene. I don’t mind crying if I sense that the crying is an emotional release for the lee versus crying because she’s truly being tortured. Sometimes it’s a judgment call.
3) A body covered in tattoos and piercings. One or two tasteful tattoos are ok (I’m thinking of getting one myself), but if I can barely see the lee’s skin then no. Pierced nipples, nostrils and tongues kind of disturb me. Not here to bash people who have them, because we all have our “things” and that’s fine. I’m just telling you what I don’t like.
4) Raspberries. I don’t care how much they tickle, I just don’t like the sound of them.
5) Baby oil! It’s really gotten excessive in tickling videos. Tickle Abuse can’t seem to make a video without it. I didn’t mind it when a producer would throw it in for variety, but now it’s used so much that I just want to skip past it or stop watching the clip altogether.
6) Over-extended footage of putting the lee in the restraints.
7) Interviews where they ask questions that have nothing to do with tickling. I don’t care what the lee’s favorite food or favorite car is. I want to hear if she’s been tickled a lot in her life, what’s one of the worst tickling she’s ever experienced, things like that. Sometimes I like to hear an interview immediately after the session so I can hear firsthand how the experience was for her.
8) Gags, ridiculous bondage that clearly doesn’t restrain the lee, lers who don’t shut up, etc.
