Tickled Page #4

you know, probably five or six.

You know, very, very young.

You see something in a cartoon

or a magazine that, you know,

kind of interests

you as a little kid,

and for me it would be,

you know, like,

cartoon characters being

tickled or tied up or,

you know, that sort of thing.

And it would, you know,

fascinate me,

but I had no idea why.

Richard:
How do you feel?

I feel tired.

- I feel sweaty.

- Can I get you some water?

Yeah, water would probably work.

Richard:
I started to become

comfortable with this, uh,

fetish and this part of myself,

and started to really realize

that it was a part of myself,

when I...

When I got on aol

and then did a search

for what I was looking for

and found that, "wow!

There's actually,

you know, quite a lot of

other people

that are into this."

At the time,

the late '90s,

was, um, somebody that posted

on the message boards a lot.

And she said her name was

Terri, Terri tickle.

And Terri disisto, she put

in what her real name was.

She always had a picture

of herself.

You know, a blonde,

pretty, college-aged girl.

And, she always posted

the same verbiage.

Something like,

"this is not porn.

My interest is in tickling."

And she just said that she was

a tickling fanatic and...

But, I mean, these posts

were everywhere.

And then, um, some videos

started popping up,

you know, very,

you know, innocent.

And, those are probably

the first

tickle videos that I

ever saw on the Internet.

David:
There are still traces of

Terri tickle online

from the mid-'90s,

and as Richard said,

she was tickle-obsessed.

Like Jane,

she also hired other people

to shoot the videos she wanted.

Well, the, uh,

just strange, rich brat,

I guess you could say.

Someone who, uh,

got her rocks off by, uh,

seeing guys, uh,

tied and tickled.

Obviously an extreme dominatrix.

David:
For most of his life,

Dave starr has worked

on the edges

of the entertainment industry,

even acting in a

couple of pornos.

During the mid-'90s,

he noticed Terri's online posts

wanting tickling videos...

Lots of them.

Dave:
Terri was, uh, out there

looking for guys, uh, 18 to 23.

And I, uh, figured

that it would, um...

Be something

right up my alley,

based on my, uh,

working in casting.

David:
What sort of things was

she recruiting for specifically?

Uh, tickle torture films.

Tickle torture videos.

Can you turn that thing

around so I can see it?

Man:
All right.

- Is that all right?

- Yeah, that's good.

Dave:
She claimed it was

for a private collection,

so I was thinking,

"okay, amateur hour."

But me, I rapidly took it

into a professional level.

Man 1:

Okay, are you, uh, ticklish?

Man 2:
Uh, yes, I am.

Man 1:
Okay,

step forward about a foot.

Okay. Place your hands behind

your head, inter-clasp them.

Step back a little further,

though.

Okay, right about there.

Okay, inter-clasp them

and do not release them

at any time

during the entire tickle test.

Do your worst on this one.

Dave:
We would put them

in through

their stage one audition,

which is the questions

and the test tickles.

Man 1:
Do not collapse.

Stay looking up at us.

Stay facing us.

Dave:
Stage two is tying them to

the table, tickling them,

flipping them over

every 15 minutes,

kind of like a sausage or meat.

Dave:
And then after that, uh,

we had the competitive tickling

at that point.

Tickle wars and stuff like that.

And that would involve

a massive production.

Woman:
Okay, don't laugh.

You're giggling already,

aren't you?

Well, you just might be

the type of person

that David starr

is looking for.

He is a Hollywood producer

working on a new

reality-based game show

called tickle talk.

Dave:

Woman:
It might be

preferable to

eating rats or grubs

on survivor

but just barely.

I'm Anne James,

ksen k96 news.

David:
Dave starr had steady

work for five years,

even when Terri was

hospitalized for six months.

During that time,

she just wrote

letters specifying

exactly what she wanted

in the tickling videos.

Terri:

"David, merry Christmas!

So sorry,

I'm in the hospital with mono."

"David, just a few things

I need you to do..."

"Tell them I will send the

computer as soon as I'm well."

"His name is Josh." "I hope

to be online again in feb."

"I'm still sick in bed."

"That's all for now. Td."

My most ticklish place is,

i guess...

Definitely, like...

It'd have to be in my legs...

More than, like, my armpits

or my feet, I think, but...

Dave:
At that time

she wanted to put up

and did indeed put up

a website for a while, uh,

unauthorized releasing

of the videos...

Against the

agreement of the talent,

and I flipped my lid.

And, lo and behold,

she goes and registers domains

in their names

and then proceeds to...

Release all their content on

to those particular websites.

Alden:
She was, like,

sending me emails about, um,

"what do you think

your mother's

gonna think about this?"

And then, like, I'd be like,

you know, "f*** you, b*tch."

And she'd be, like...

Like, totally antagonizing.

Like...

I mean, she was such a c*nt.

It was an assault not just on

me but on my family, you know?

I mean, I couldn't have a more

conservative family, you know?

I'm, I'm in a family full of

republican, military people,

and I'm a...

I was a professional banker.

And here I am, like,

with basically a porn site,

where I'm not naked, but,

i mean, I might as well be.

You know, this was

ruining my life at the time.

That's how I felt.

It certainly was affecting my

ability to function,

because it was

so emotionally draining.

Part of the reason was because

there's nobody to help me.

It's like you lose control over,

you know, your life.

Dave:
Well, that's when the,

uh, crap started happening,

uh, with me.

Um, you decide,

"okay, because I, uh,

I closed down

submissions for her,

and,

I guess, I basically was like

her tickling drug dealer,

and, uh, since she wasn't

getting her drug any more,

she was going through

tickle withdrawals.

David:
And what happened?

I started, uh,

receiving the, uh,

strange postcards,

and the, uh, strange messages.

The, uh... the, uh, talent was

starting to receive messages.

And, uh, she also deployed a

thing called the phone blaster,

which was to call

everybody with obscene messages.

Woman:

This person's on drugs.

This person's gotta be

on crystal or something,

or taking cocaine up the ass,

or something like that.

It was weird.

I'm glad to be able to make

this available to you.

David:
David kept a number of

letters Terri had sent him

and was keen to show me

the extent of the abuse.

- All right.

- This is the magic stuff.

All right, what have we got?

Yeah. Uh,

these are basically copies

of what she would post online.

So who's Barbara?

Is that your...?

That's my mother.

David:
"Hairy and horny.

Hairy and horny.

Jewish tickle filmer

David w. Starr

is hook-nosed,

hairy and horny."

She's used that tagline
