It doesn't matter why people say they do not want these cards, the only thing that matters from a business point of view is how well they would sell. My guess is that any such cards would have rather less than ten percent of the sales, and therefore of income, of a mainstream card even if they were sold at the same price. This could be countered by raising the price by a factor of ten but that would only reduce the sales even more. Does anyone seriously believe that there is a viable market at something like 100 euro or more per card?
@Marven - there was VirtuaGuy, which preceeded DeskBabes, but Totem withdrew from that market, presumably mainly because of lack of profit due to lack of sales. Even the original Deskbabes seem to have not been very profitable leading to abandoning the duo cards and the recent changes to the XXX cards contents.
If the gay "niche" market was too small to support the production of male stripper cards then I see no chance for any smaller niche being attractive enough to Totem for them to cater for it.
@Karinna
We are dealing with the fragile male ego here, which really doesn't want to see any dicks swinging unless it's their own.
Not a Moderator Post...
I don't want there to be any ***** here.
This is me as a member....
My view is they are not T-Girls..
They are Blokes with Tits..
Not Interested in the Least...
And NO you are 100% Wrong...
a real man, has no interest.. He's not Hiding some secret desire...
That is only in your Imagination as a way to justify it's existence.
Disillusionment !
There is a reason that Most Straight men Like real Women...
It's Called Chemistry...
It's called Genetic Programming.
There is nothing better than the Scent of Woman...
However, I find the Sent of other Men Repulsive.
So paint and spin it anyway you want to..
But a Bloke with Tits is in my opinion Simply Disgusting, and I DO NOT want to mix them
on this site..
Totem can venture out and create a new Product.
It can even use the same interface, as long as it works just like gay.istripper.com
A registry key, that keeps it turned off, Unless that's what you want..
Crowdfund it... See if you can raise any money to get it started...
BlokesWithTits.com
I think you'll need about 500K to get it started.
Staff, for 3 months, and capital for 30 cards to get started..
I don't think this is an issue of being politically correct, but I'm not interested in such cards.

HA! @Dorsai6
Don't you know, you are a closet T-Girl Lover, and you are just in Denial and Afraid to let anyone know about it..
Like 99.44% of the rest of the Male Population.
Afraid to come out of the Closet !
Or so that is their way of thinking to justify it...
Like you,
I have 0.00% interest. NONE whatsoever..
I have not read much of this thread but I will say I have less then 0% percent interest. If I find the content enough of a turn off I will go elsewhere. And guys of any sort would be enough of a turn off for me.
I don't care what turns someone on .. to each his own but If IS were to add this content or any other similar 'niche' content it would dilute the product. IS is a collection of beautiful women being sexy. If Totem start adding content that is not sexy or not even female it would be a turn off for me and difficult to ignore. I don't want to see guys pretending to be girls or guys of any sort on the site no more than I want to see girls ***** or whatever. If that becomes IS market I will quickly move on to a product that caters to me.
I take pride in being politically correct and I have no problem with what anyone finds desirable but I want to see sexy girls and anything else on the IS would be a most unwelcome distraction so I would move on.
If Totem thought they could make money with a separate product I guess that would be acceptable but I would like to see Totem committed to IS and presenting sexy women instead of trying to cater to other markets.
This sounds a Lot like. " I do not want it on IS" which is perrfectly fine. But I detect you are also saying " If they wish to make a seperate p[roduct, then while that is fine, as I see it they would not be focusing on what I Like... girls.... so I reserve my right to take my money elsewhere
, simply because a product I do not own.. and does not affect me in anyway...exists." I think I misunderstood you.
even though I may be more of a hindrance than a help to her position on this matter.

Yes that about sums up my position

this part I'm not sure I understand?
But if you are saying that I would be unhappy if I felt Totem was pandering to anyone that might hand them a $20 instead of enhancing their core product and building it's audience then yes that part is also how I feel.
I'll add that while I have no problem with Totem looking to maximize profits - I guess some part of me likes the idea that Totem shares my enthusiasm for beautiful women.
But as you say you [or I] may misunderstand?
Topics like this come up from time to time and the reality is that niche cards have not historically worked for Totem. Totem has a mainstream product that sells well for them and that is their focus.
VirtuaGuy cost Totem a lot of money and they tried to reinvigorate it a few times with no significant boast in sales, Deskbabes did at one time have quite a few duos, but that has all but ceased except for a rare occasion and iDancer has yet to get off the ground.
So I seriously doubt that it would get off the ground, but if it did, then it would probably run on the same iStripper engine, with just another category of cards that can be selected.
If you feel enthused enough you could try running a poll to gauge a reaction, but I would hazard a guess that the reaction that you have already had would be a reasonably typical result from most members.
Cheers & beers
Too much speech here, one more time on the same subject.
Stop the bla-bla and let Totem's team answer to this. Are you all ok with that ?
BTW, have fun on iStripper😎
I don't know why I like what I do, but I object to being told that it's because I'm a member of some group. That may be true, but unless you know me, it's stereotyping.
Or so that is their way of thinking to justify it...
And there are some other iStripper-girls too, who tried a chick-with-a-dick.
Let me ask this...
Would you Kneel down and suck off a Bloke?
Would let a Bloke screw you in the Ass?
Would you let a Bloke Suck you Off?
