The DSS Tickle Bench is a RLV based bondage toy for my fellow Second Life kinksters. In addition to being able to truss someone to it, you can also torture them in a fun and cheerful manner using the little feather at the base.\"TB<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tickle Bench started kind of as a fluke. \u00a0I’m a fanatical user of Mesh Studio and had been building props for taking photographs to post on my Deviant Art<\/a> page. \u00a0In the course of building the Electro Cross<\/a>\u00a0(it’s mature so you need to have a basic but free DA account to look at it) I – naturally – over complicated things and came up with a way to generate a particle effect which would move across the victim’s body following the mouse pointer.<\/p>\n

“COOL!” I shrieked gleefully.<\/p>\n

Heady with that success I decided to build something that would take things a step further – or a step too far depending upon one’s perspective \ud83d\ude42 – and add an animated toy. \u00a0There are a couple of things I had to overcome, mainly horrific mind-bending three dimensional rotational math but my friend Ria – who’s way smarter at that sort of thing than I can ever hope to be – helped out a lot and eventually I had the Tickle Bench.<\/p>\n

If you’re just looking for a quick “how to” scroll on down to the Using<\/strong>\u00a0The Tickle Bench<\/strong> section. \u00a0Otherwise let’s start out with…<\/p>\n

Setting Up the Tickle Bench<\/h2>\n

I tried to keep this pretty simple so there are only a few basic settings, and in many cases you’ll be able to use the Tickle Bench as is straight from the box, but just in case you want to fine tune things just click on the Tickle Bench for the main menu:<\/p>\n

\"TB<\/a>As long as you’re the owner you’ll see the\u00a0Settings<\/strong> button. \u00a0Click that and you’ll get – big surprise – the Settings Menu, which should look something like this:\"TB-Settings<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of the buttons are pretty self explanatory \u2013 the two\u00a0Access<\/strong>\u00a0buttons raise or lower the access level. There are three settings:<\/p>\n

Public<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Anyone can use the Tickle Bench.<\/p>\n

Group<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Only active members of the same group can use the Tickle Bench.<\/p>\n

Private<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Only you can use the Tickle Bench.<\/p>\n

The two\u00a0Range<\/strong>\u00a0buttons control the distance the Tickle Bench\u00a0will scan when hunting for potential victims. Each click will increase or decrease the range by five meters up to a maximum of 90 meters.<\/p>\n

Likewise the two\u00a0Volume<\/strong>\u00a0buttons raise or lower the volume of the sound effects.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Reset<\/strong>\u00a0button simply performs a script reset. The Tickle Bench\u00a0saves the settings in the device description field so resetting the scripts won\u2019t reset the settings.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Feather\u00a0<\/strong>button (added in version 1.0.6 and higher) allows you to turn off the animated feather. \u00a0A sharp eyed Knismolagniac<\/a>\u00a0pointed out that if one stands close enough to the bench the native SL\u00a0animation when you click on something will cause your hand to move over the victim’s body as if you were tickling them without the feather.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Self Tickle<\/strong> button (added in version 1.0.6 and higher)\u00a0allows or prevents people using the Self Bondage function to tickle themselves.<\/p>\n

The only thing that\u2019s not self explanatory is the\u00a0Self Bondage<\/strong>\u00a0button. \u00a0When the Tickle Bench\u00a0scans for potential victims it intentionally ignores the person operating the menu. \u00a0Instead there\u2019s a button which will attempt to grab that person and set a random release timer \u2013 and no, they don\u2019t get to see the menus so they have no idea how long they\u2019re stuck. \u00a0And we call that the Self Bondage button.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Self Bondage<\/strong>\u00a0button in the settings menu allows you to set the maximum upper limit for that random timer. \u00a0Keep that in mind, just because you set it to 99 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes that doesn’t mean that it won\u2019t randomly pick two minutes when the time comes. \u00a0The Self Bondage timer menu should resemble this:\"TB<\/a><\/p>\n

The two\u00a010 Min<\/strong>\u00a0buttons increase or decrease the maximum time by \u2013 you guessed it, ten minutes.\u00a01 Hr<\/strong>\u00a0increases or decreases it by an hour, and\u00a08 Hr<\/strong>\u00a0increases or decreases it by eight hours.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0button returns you to the Settings Menu, the\u00a0Main<\/strong>\u00a0button returns you to the Main Menu.<\/p>\n

And now you’re all set with the settings. \u00a0On to…<\/p>\n

Using The Tickle Bench<\/h2>\n

Click on the Tickle Bench to open the main menu. \u00a0You should have three options (unless you’re the owner, then you get four):\"TB<\/a><\/p>\n

First off\u00a0don’t click the Self Bondage button<\/strong>. \u00a0Well, not yet, unless you’re really eager to play. \u00a0It does exactly what it says it will do, try to grab the person clicking it and lock them on the Tickle Bench for a random amount of time.<\/p>\n

Since the Tickle Bench prevents the tickle-ee from accessing the menu once they’re locked on, clicking the\u00a0Self Bondage<\/strong> button means that you’re stuck until the timer expires, a helpful by passer passes by, or you safeword out.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Scan<\/strong> button is also pretty much what you’d expect. \u00a0It looks for the nine closest avatars with active RLV and Relays and lets you select your victim from the list.\"TB<\/a><\/p>\n

Once someone is locked on the Tickle Bench it prevents them from standing, teleporting, or initiating new IM sessions. \u00a0You may notice that there’s no\u00a0Strip<\/strong> or\u00a0Strip All<\/strong> buttons. \u00a0That’s because the Tickle Bench doesn’t do those things.<\/p>\n

“Why” you may ask. \u00a0Go ahead, I said you may \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Two reasons. \u00a0First off is a simple logical reason. \u00a0Someone explain to me how an inanimate piece of furniture is able to take off my clothes. \u00a0Even if it IS as wonderful as the Tickle Bench. \u00a0Keep in mind that the person on the bench is probably wearing a collar which can do all the stripping you want. \u00a0There’s also a good chance that the person doing the capturing has a RLV HUD tool that lets them carry out their evil wishes via the victim’s relay.<\/p>\n

This leads to reason number two – duplication of effort. \u00a0If the collar has the scripts and the relay has the scripts and a RLV HUD has the scripts isn’t it a little extravagant for me to use up sim reqources duplicating all that for potentially a fourth time?<\/p>\n

Now what’s the HTML tag for ending a rant \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Once your victim is properly secured clicking the Tickle Bench will bring up a menu something like this:\"TB-Captive<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty straight forward. \u00a0The two\u00a0Volume<\/strong> buttons will raise and lower the volume of the giggles, laughs, and snort sound effects.<\/p>\n

Release<\/strong> does just that.<\/p>\n

And the\u00a0Timer<\/strong> button lets you set a delayed release.<\/p>\n

Enough of the pedestrian stuff, let’s get to the fun part. \u00a0I know it’s fun because someone is always laughing when I do it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

While you’ve got someone on the Tickle Bench click on them and don’t release the mouse button. \u00a0The feather will spring to life and follow your mouse all around your victim’s body, causing them to laugh uproariously and writhe in their bonds to avoid the feather.<\/p>\n

Unsuccessfully of course \ud83d\ude42\"TB<\/a><\/p>\n

That photo is un-edited other than cropping and adding an after the fact mouse pointer so you could see where my mouse was pointing. \u00a0I did cheat a little bit and wear my fancy wind blown hair, though the facial expression is “real”.<\/p>\n

And that’s pretty much it for the Tickle Bench. \u00a0Oh there is one other bit, and that’s…<\/p>\n

Being Stuck On the Tickle Bench<\/h2>\n

This is pretty simple. Like most RLV bondage gear once you\u2019re on board the ride is pretty much out of your control. The only thing you can do is keep your hands inside the car, and frankly the chains pretty much ensure that\u00a0\":)\"\u00a0.<\/p>\n

When you first get on – or are put on – the Tickle Bench you’ll get a menu like this:\"TB<\/a><\/p>\n

The sound effects in the Tickle Bench are – as you \u00a0can probably guess – gender specific. \u00a0Just click the button that comes closest to the sounds you want to make and you’re all set.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for looking at \/ playing with \/ buying (please please please let it be buying) my fancy RLV gizmo. \u00a0If you have any questions suggestions or just want to shower me with extravagant praise please feel free to IM me in SL at\u00a0Wilhelmina Hinchcliffe<\/a>. \u00a0If you’d like to try the Tickle Bench out you can visit my shop in Orbitalis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And for those extra geeky out there, here’s the version history starting with the first update:<\/p>\n

v1.0.5<\/p>\n

Code clean up, no update necessary<\/p>\n

v1.0.6<\/p>\n

Added setup menu option\u00a0Feather<\/strong>\u00a0to enable \/ disable the animated feather<\/p>\n

Added setup menu option\u00a0Self Tickle<\/strong> to enable \/ disable the tickling system for the victim’s use<\/p>\n

Added Xcite compatibility. \u00a0Victims wearing Xcite genitals will experience increasing arousal while being tickled (assuming their kinks include tickling)<\/p>\n

Fixed RLV error – replaced @clear with !release (thanks to Toy Wylie for spotting this)<\/p>\n

Added @fartouch restrictions to RLV restrictions<\/p>\n

Automatically trigger the Self Bondage timer if someone simply sits on the bench. \u00a0This corrects a problem where people using self bondage would log off while trapped, then be re-seated by their relay but no timer would be set leaving them trapped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
