Just curious about what you fellows are planning to do now that the DeskBabes product is finally about to be launched. Are you thinking to switch to the harder version only? Stick to VG only? Mixing your purchases a little? Buy everything?

If i didn't cover one possibility with the poll, please feel free to comment as you see fit. ;)

I voted "those that attract me". LoL.
Well done "warm up" striptease is still the main draw for me. While I will buy DB initially for the novelty, its X-factor will have a hard road competing with what is available in preference- oriented explicit porn elsewhere, so I see VGHD still as the entry session enjoyed before switching away to other preferred porn media. Given that.,I will still buy new faces where models who do both VG & DB. I will buy them far more than those who do VG alone unless the VG-only ones are exceptional teasers who can at least do genuine light G-Spot fingering to play a part with the performer's reactions in order to keep me interested.

Brand new faces on DB who can't be mixed with VG clips on VGHD Player 2.0 will need huge fileloads in their cards to give the "@plasonic complete effect", and I think people will initially play these over their porn movies in the background and eventually switch VGplayer off altogether. Its easier to get more complete x-rated movie files elsewhere except maybe for the good stripping intro. Just like for stripping, X-factor will only keep me buying if the performer is genuinely getting off having a good time up to and including orgasms. Complete tease cards only or its just VGHD.

Very interesting post, EverthangForever. ;)

I think i'll stick more with VG, but the explicit content can easily make me drop VG for good. Dunno yet, but i certainly won't buy models featured on both sites that only look cute on VG, so my purchases will halt completely on VG for models featured twice here and there, unless their VG shows also include very spicy moments. Sometimes i get a subscription, though, thus some of those will be added to my collection eventually, but no ticktes will be used on those cases, that's for certain. (;

Good comments from EverthangForever that I essentially agree with.

I already mostly stopped buying virtuagirl cards in 2009 due to the censored nature of the product and a shift in production style that I don't like so I won't buy many more on this site unless I really like the girl.

Regarding deskbabes, I have little interest in lesbo porn and I also don't think duo cards work in this format- I deleted almost all the virtuagirl duos I bought.

Having seen the deskbabe trailers, the new product, while more explicit, doesn't change the inherent duo problems (one performer always weaker than the other, constant looking at the camera rather than at each other is annoying, feels as fake as the virtuagirl duos). Deskabes is also a very tame vision of lesbian porn compared to what's available on specialized sites.

The premium price also makes it easy for me to just not buy, particularly with so much hardcore lesbian and other porn vids available for free on the internet.

I will buy some of the deskbabe solos at 2 tickets, but only if I like the girl.

It will be important to have each new babe on DB's doing AT LEAST one hot & sexy, solo card with a COMPLETE performance, tease & please, seductive AND raunchy, like Marie's cards on VGHD +++ Plus dildo! I want to see real sexy dance along with the girl/girl seduction stuff too. Totem should realize that THIS is going to bring more VGHD folk & newbies into the DB's fold as WE CANNOT GET THIS KIND OF SEXY STRIPPING ANYWHERE ELSE!(no matter where you run t' git yer porn)I just luv this explicit stripping style! (but it's gotta be SEXY & COMPLETE!)
Let the girls move it & groove it with fingers flying in & out, pussy & mouth,doin' bend overs, ass & pussy pumpin' galore please!! THEN the graduation into the DB's duos will have some evolutionary flow & *****. Explicit stripping will be most important on the DB's site as these ARE BOTH stripper oriented sites and a stripper oriented clientele/member base.
When VGHD faded it's explicit content on Natali & Mia I went looking for their porn stuff. While I found quite sexy dildo & girl/girl play out on the web I never found the explicit stripping, tease & please, that is/was available here. So for me, that has got to be in to have DB's work really well!
For VGHD I feel if Totem focuses on new babes AND allows a good deal of explicity they will have the cutie pie niche for those who want that. I will buy models who look & dance sexy, especially if they are "VGHD only" choices & perform sexy enough seductions.

I will no doubt, buy both once I get a new computer with a 1 TB storage capability.
Ironically, I just heard that the card sizes will be HUGE (700 MB's!)& might be out of reach for dial-up!(my comp now sometimes fails to complete a 400 mb download)The idea of taking 4 days to download 1 card might put a damper on my enthusiasm.
Maybe the new computer & all it's up to date new tech will be enough to outperform the old one in this realm of stability at least, if not speed!
But please...have all babes strip sexy on both sites!!

Are you going to be able to have both running at once? Will DB become part of the VGHD program? Or will I have to delete My Virtuagirls just to have Deskbabes?

well there is no chance in hell i could not get Ariels and Wallerias DB-Shows as soon as available.
After that i will have to see. I am certainly interested in a Misa solo show. And same is true for Melisa.
I will probably get myself 50 Tickets and get what really interests me.

I voted I will buy only those who attract me, after all, both sites are all about attraction and how well the girls interact with the watcher, when I watch a show, I like the feeling of joy I get when the girl enjoys what she does, (sharka comes to mind) and loves to show off their bodies for us. any girl not comfortable with VG or deskbabes should not have signed up in the first place.

All of these women are in the adult entertainment industry and many are in porn. This means desk babes will attract some of their fans..the fans who will pay for a naughty clip on their desk top of their porn star but not just to watch her pole dance horribly. She isn't a pole dancer- she is a porn star. Let the x-rated stars be x-rated and you get a better show. New people joining that do not see the point in paying for a desktop stripper show unless the explicit shows are actually explicit.

Sure we can download strip shows. x-rated movies and porn; but what makes virtuagirls and desk babes unique is they are desktop clips and screen savers and not just a movie clip. They were made for your desktop. You get the desk babes or virtuagirls experience. Let the fun begin with desk babes................

For me totems quality will get me testing at least a few of the deskbabes cards. From the few of the newer cards and stuff I have seen there is a continuing improvement in the quality they deliver. I also like totems ethics to it's customers.

However I do find myself approving of VG's more tasteful approach. Subtlety and seduction is something that is overlooked in hard core, but it has a great value in and of itself. I do think it was a mistake to start cutting clips early as they did. It lowered the quality when all that was needed was improvements to the control system. I hope they can at some point find the time to fix the cards affected.

The announced prices for the cards are a bit high for my budget but I understand that they are a business and new products can carry a premium. Of late it's been hard to justify buying more tickets when the 90 odd cards I have cover most of the variety offered (you should listen to titlate in that respect). DB's at least gives me something truly new to try.

Anyway I will buy at least a few of the the cards. Hopefully they will pull of some magical mixture and manage tasteful hardcore, I can but hope :)

I'm scared Momma!

My vote, to split between both however, it would be nice to know where the Deskbabes site is. I just got use to earning VIP status with beaucou cards, now VGHD is without the HD, I'm using the new website and software without much difficulty, now DESKBABES. WHAZZZUPPP? Yes, that was old-school calling for HELP!

I'm not sure yet, and can't really be sure until I see a couple of shows from Deskbabes. I kind of doubt that Deskbabes will be my cup of tea though, since it sounds a bit too similar to the kind of porn you can get elsewhere on the web for absolutely nothing.

I also don't really like duo cards, so that turns me off a bit and I certainly wouldn't pay 3 credits for them. So the only Deskbabes cards I'll be buying will be solo ones. I'll buy a couple of cards initially to see what it's like, and whether I buy any more depends on what I think of those.

The big attraction of VG for me is having a lovely girl do a sexy and entertaining stiptease on my desktop, and I'm not bothered whether or not it gets really explicit. I just accept that it depends on the style of show that a particular girl wants to give.

Some of the sexiest Shows for me, in fact, are also some of the least Explicit (e.g. Karina's "Latino Party" and "Tango Fever" or Shabba's "Pool Party"). So I kind of doubt that I'll find Deskbabes very appealing if it just concentrates on the explicit with little regard for striptease performance or entertainment value.

DeskBabes is not up yet. Totem said it will be up next week. Maybe it will. Who knows? In any case it's about to be launched soon.

what i find very interesting is that most posters prefer solo shows. Still Deskbabes will offer mostly duos. I'm also more interested in solos btw. And not only because the shows are cheaper;-) I think it's being alone with the girl and the girl can give all attention to you. While in a duo she gives much attention to her partner of course. So less eye contact with the viewer. I wonder if bringing mostly duos for Deskbabes is another of Totems mistakes. I guess time will tell.

Well the duos have always been popular. That's why Totem can charge more for the duo booster pack. Lesbian porn is also extremely popular.

But one of the reasons for the popularity of the duos is scarcity. There are only 19 duos currently available on virtuagirl.

That's why I sort of doubt whether many members are sitting back waiting to absorb an additional 50 duos, particularly at a premium price. It's also why I've always thought it was misguided to focus on duos.

Explicit solo cards are a a sure thing though. I think most members are very eager to buy more explicit solos. Therefore, if Totem maintains the explicit site going forward- rather than abandoning it like virtuaguy- I expect solo shows to be an increasing part of the mix.

It seems that most members who want explicit, want solo dancers...babes who do it for us, the viewer. My choice would have been very explicit solo dancers as part of VG.
I've been downloading some Melisa from another site & Mmmmm...she sure does nice dildo & lesbian play! She sounds soo good when she ....ahhh...So I'm looking forward to seeing "Our gals" get it on COMPLETELY!
My first reaction to seeing Melisa doing full on dildo/finger insertions was..."Who knew our rather shy little dancer does the squelch sooo well!!!"
Her lesbian scene is ...er...most inspired too!
All to say that there can be some nice quality classy porn happening here & on DB's as long as Totem doesn't forget its roots...STRIPPERS!

STRIPPERS GETIN' PORNY HORNY and squelchin' it hot & long!
STRIPPERS gettin' off with each other AND INVITING US IN FOR SOME OF THE ACTION!
STRIPPERS tempting us and then giving us the Full Squelchy!
...Have I mentioned that Totem should never forget that it's STRIPPERS that we want doing all those PornyHorny, Lesbian, HoochieCoochieCooo, Squelchy things?!!!
Totem, don't make me say this again...'CAUSE YOU KNOW I CAN...(ad nauseaum!lol)
So, Good Luck with the DB launch...
(Oooops...make way for the PornyHorny STRIPPERS!)

Remember folks....
Turn that Whine into a Wank/Twirl.....
....and be happy!
It's a porn site....
...meant to make us feel good!
Perspective!!

Well it looks like all those who took the noncommital answer Option 7 "ladies that attract me": are in the lead in an unrigged poll thus far.
&nbs (Good work fixing that poll flood bug btw Totem..or did you? )
It looks like Option 3. "We will buy any and everything" is leading the poll otherwise with 218 votes counted.

I actually like the idea of starting DB with several duos. Most women that I know of who like VG feel comfortable entry to VGH with the duos. Who knows, It might be a new market for the legions of biwomen out there, if its done tastefully.
Graphic genetalia, which many women are not much fans of might negate it though. Its a hard mix to get right. I'm confident Totem can sort it out somehow.

What ever Totem start DB with right now, a year from now there will probably be many more specialities around than we can dream of.

I just hope it all ends up as a celebration of women having pleasure at their own behest & I hope most members feel the same.

Well, very high votation so far and many interesting comments all around. ;)

The option 7 it's so far, indeed, the prefered one. Still, it's a little bit surprising that is so ahead of other choices. See, the world "only" contained in the option 7 was intended to cover the intentions of those who are planning to be rather selective with their purchases. I think it fits more with the Starryk comment about Ariel and Walleria. Since those chicks are very attractive to him, there's no way he won't buy anything with them even if they would be wearing barrels as outfits or if their shows would be priced 2 or 3 times higher than the rest of shows or if they do softcore or hardcore. Option 7 is more about being a fan of the models than a fan of the product. Of course, if you happen to like almost every single chick released by Totem, the option 7 suits you pretty well, since you'll be buying almost anything in both sites, but maybe skipping some chicks for some particular reason, thus making you less commited to purchase all, as the users that voted option number 3. ;)
