His material had so much promise when he started. For the first time since Tommy left TA it seemed like there was actually a producer using solid bondage (although I've sicne come to change my mind on that), but his tickling technique is so boring and he way overuses gags. I personally don't mind a gag in a clip as long as some actual muffled laughter or barely-coherent begging can come out of the lee's mouth, but he'll do some combination of full leather mask gag + foam tape or the like to where you can't hear a single thing.
When you have the lee completely immobilized and mummified, no face shown, gag in that blocks all sound, you're basically tickling an inanimate object. It's probably hotter irl but it makes for a fucking boring clip. It's like saying you make the most authentic porn ever and the videos are of a guy fucking a silicone sex doll. When you're watching the video, it feels like there's only one person in frame when there should be two.
I'm not going to make any claims as to his authenticity, I'm admittedly a pretty bad judge, but if we take him at face value that his clips are 100% authentic, 0% bullshit, it's to the detriment of the product. Maybe his technique really is what works best. I don't quite believe that, but I don't exactly have the personal experience to say for sure, and there's no way to tell in his videos because I CAN'T HEAR THE FUCKING LEE LAUGH OR SEE THEM STRUGGLE. You kinda just have to take him at his word that "this is totes the worst that [model] has ever gotten it, I pinky swear, you wouldn't know because the only sound in the video comes from my mouth."
Like it's just as bad in the other direction for a guy like TheBKTickler (a top 3 hack in this fetish) who has dogshit bondage, and way overdoes it with the tools, scratching at some soles with a dog toy at ludicrous speed, and probably applying way too much pressure where the model has to fake laugh and pretend like that doesn't hurt like a motherfucker.
I know Derek used to lurk here, and I don't know if he still does, but if he does, I genuinely am pleading for him to actually allow us to see and hear a model suffer and struggle against bondage. We've always been told that body language is like 50-60-70-80-whatever percentage of effective communication, so if a video has no laughter and no struggling, I'm getting zero percent of the message that this is a tickling video. So far as I'm concerned, I'm watching a clip of a guy drag a pair of gardening gloves down the silicone soles of a RealDoll.
The best video Fettish ever did IMO is the Kylie Moone Stocks + Bondage vid. She's in inescapable bondage, but in a setup where she can visibly struggle against it, she is left un-gagged, so you actually hear her laugh and talk shit, plus he uses a technique that I love, where he tapes the electric scalp massagers to her soles and turns them on.
Actually hearing laughter + bondage that leaves enough give to visibly fight against but not enough to escape or protect any crucial body parts + an actually enjoyable technique = a good clip, for once.
God Fucking Dammit I needed to get that out of my system.
