FWIW, feelings on tickling is very split; recipients seem to either love it or hate it, with no in between. Tickling, in a BDSM scene, is absolutely torture, and can be very triggering for some people. Some people can enjoy light tickling in a sensual/erotic manner, and still hate tickling as the primary form of sensation play in a scene.

I am definitely on the sadistic end of that spectrum.

If you try it, set up some kind non-verbal safe signal beforehand, because you may not be able to get words out.

Assuming consent on all fronts, and some kind of safe signal?

Tickle.

IME that ends up being strangely harder on a sub and something that can go on longer–with breaks!–than e.g. caning, flogs, etc. If you go too long with a silicone slapper, you can take skin off; to long/hard with a cane, and you’re causing hematomas. Too long tickling? No physical harm done (as long as they don’t, say, dislocate a shoulder; be careful with how you tie people up, folks!), although a sub might pee the bed, or be laughing so hard that they can’t breathe. That means that you can turn around and do it again the next day. Combine being restrained and blindfolded with sound-isolating earbuds so that a sub can’t tell where you are, and intersperse the tickling with sensual touch, and you can have a sub dreading your touch, flinching at nothing, and drag it out for an hour or more.

I’d remove the gag though; tickling combined with a gag can obstruct breathing.

(Not everyone is ticklish though. IME people that tend towards anxiety have a much stronger reaction to tickling.)

I would probably start with this, and then move on to this.

I think that I’ll need Rufus to help out.

when people google that they want immediate relief, not fucking oh go for a walk every day,

The problem is that there is no immediate relief that isn’t either a) suicide, or b) won’t make things worse in the long run. Even something like ECT doesn’t work instantly; it takes several treatments. Transcranial magnetic stimulation seems promising, but it’s not a frontline treatment. The generic shit is the stuff that actually works in the long run, things like getting therapy, exercising, going outside more, interacting with people in a positive way, and so on. “Self care”–isolating and doing easy, comfortable things–will make things worse in the long run.

720p? Pfffft. 240i. Rip them in ‘2014 YouTube over 2G’ quality.

-serious-

I would ask you what you plan to do when you are definitely too old for porn; most women leave porn at a fairly young age, so it’s not something that you can realistically expect to do for many years. Working as a dancer tends to be very hard on your body; I’ve known a few dancers that are in their 40s now, and they all have chronic injuries (and I’m married to one; her back and hips are wrecked).

Moreover, porn is one of those things that tends to stick around. If you become popular enough as an actress, it’s likely that people will recognize your face in real life, or connect your real life identity to your acting career. Weebs are incredibly good at ferreting out details about people that work in porn, and picking up identifying characteristics (esp. tattoos!) in porn actresses that they can connect to real people. That, in turn, tends to cause significant impact on your career choices, and HR departments are often not going to be on your side. Employers tend to fire people that they discover have worked in porn in the past, because they don’t want the attention that comes with it, even when you’re an exemplary employee. Cops, firefighters, teachers, nurses/doctors, et al. have all lost careers because of doing porn in their youth.

Beyond that, a not insignificant number of mid- and high-level porn actresses end up also working as escorts, because the industry overall doesn’t pay very well. Entry level pay might be a couple hundred bucks for a scene, which sounds great, except that you’re not working every single day, or even every week. Or month. A very small number of people that have OnlyFans accounts make an enormous amount of money; most make little to none, while still having their images and videos disseminated all over the internet via piracy.

All of this can play hell on your personal life too, since–broadly speaking–most people are not interested in having a serious, long-term romantic relationship with someone that has worked in the adult entertainment industry.

None of this is fair or right, but the west tends to be fairly sex-negative, and that’s the reality that we have to deal with.
