Ah the world of tickling... it's something I know very little about however I have come to realize and appreciate that there are quite a few Bears who are into tickling, and if you're one of them well you'll surely appreciate this new network site called Stout Stocks.

Stout Stocks is run by Blithwulf (profile - articles - photos of Blithwulf in Bear Amateur Gallery #5) and his partner HitchBear (profile) and the site is all about Bears and Chubs and those who like to tickle them ~ with a heavy emphasis on tickling feet. Create a profile, add some photos, write a blog or leave comments in their forum. It's already got a slew of cute who've signed up, and what's great, it's free. Tickle away.

Lastly, the network is maintained by Wackwall, which means you can create your very own network, so if you have a thing for... oh... I don't know... Bears and watersports - then create your own network, altho I haven't really looked into their TOS so I'm not sure what their slant is when it comes to adult orientated networks. Let's just hope these guys don't pull another Ning (articles).

[Members - click here] I've been going retroactive (maybe it should be called retropassive, since it means going into the past)... anyhow... I have been bringing over some of the bear-pics videos over to PlanetBears, turning them into FLVs (when you watch a YouTube flick, it's in FLV format).

In this update, there's 2 videos from the TickleBears (here and here) in which Blithwulf (gallery - photo - profile) and his buddy John take turns in this creative rack they built so as to tickle Bear feet. Then there is this video that I call 'Dildo Bear' (here) since this Bear straps a dildo first firmly to the floor then to a chair and goes to town on it. And finally there is a good old Mystery Bear video (here). Mystery Bear and his partner ran FurBear.net (now defunct) and they produced a bunch of videos of this cute Bear, making movies while strategically hiding his face. They had sent me a ton of short videos when I was working at bear-pics and now I cannot find them, which is a pity, however I did find one, so I added it.

I will try and add more from the bear-pics volume when I can find the time to do so. To see some preview pics of Mystery Bear and Dildo Bear, click here, and to see some older pics of Blithwulf, go here. To see all the videos, check out the Video section.

(PlanetBears members - click here): I still have fond memories of my very 1st days of logging on to the internet, with my 14.4k, my 3.5 Windows, browsing the WWW with my Netscape. This was '95, and at the time, Bear sites were very scarce, but with determination, I searched and sought out until the wee hours of the night every night until I found what I wanted.

One of the very first sites I remember coming across that had a lasting impression on me was an AOL homepage maintained by John, aka Blithwulf (photo - profile). Here was this oso cute redheaded young Bear, 6'2'', bearded with glasses (I've always had a thing for Bears with glasses) with a page on the net, yet what made Blithwulf's different was: 1) he updated it (which was very rare for Bear homepages ~ most guys made then left them static), and he content I never saw on any other sites ~ specifically Bear foot material. Also, his pics were a whopping 640x480, not just glorified thumbnails.

Blithwulf then went one step further: he moved away from the AOL homepage and started working on an actual 'Bear Foot' site. There was a forum which was quite active, and Blithwulf's idea was to have an e-zine with more content, more photos, more Bear goodness. Well the forum kept going for awhile but at some point Blithwulf dropped the project, and both his AOL site and forum were dropped.

All that that remains of Blithwulf's projects are my fond memories of realizing that the internet is going to be the place where I was finally going to be able to express myself, and that I was going to meet up with good looking men who are turned on by the same things as me. In other words, it was sites like Blithwulf that help normalize my world

Did I say the only thing that remains from his AOL site is my memories? My bad - check out this great set of photos. I chatted with Blithwulf the other day, asking him if he had anything left from his homepage, and he sent me these 16 classic photos... and it was stuff like this that had made me going back to Blithwulf's page every day for more.

PlanetBears' Update: here are over 150 photos Blithwulf sent me back when I used to run bear-pics ('00 ~ '06). Only thing is that they are 640x480, but they are still a ton fun to see, and Blithwulf said he and his boyfriend are working on new photos which he'll be sending as well.
