Not gonna lie, those tickling videos were SUPER uncomfortable. I feel that, in most cases, kinks and fetishes that we don’t have will be weird and off putting to us, but that doesn’t make them bad. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a kink or a fetish, as long as everyone being included is consenting to it, and that’s the main issue here. It’s not the tickling as much as the abuse of power and violation of consent.

Tickled is a fascinating documentary that showcases fantastic journalism, and the lengths people with power will try to suppress it.  The story is told in an exciting manner that never feels too manipulative, which is a problem I have with a lot of documentaries. It’s wild how entire underground industries can exist without any of us knowing it, and how much power money can give someone.
