Yes - as others have said, people have been talking about this for a while. I think there should be more of this also.
I have basically stopped buying DB cards due to this. Every now and then I pick up a new one if it's a model I really like and want to take a chance. I basically regret it, which is too bad.
I don't get it - there are photos from the photoshoot with the model standing and showing themselves off in their outfits. Why not film a couple of these as clips where they do this?
And now, since the models don't stand, they don't tease or strip - what difference does the outfit make? I used to look forward to DB cards where the model was wearing great heels, boots, a short skirt, whatever. Without some standing clips it doesn't really matter what they're wearing. Like Lucy Li's DB card. I totally would've bought that - with that outfit? With those legs? Sure. But I know there won't be any standing scenes so the outfit goes to waste. Wrap them in a blanket since they'll be on the ground and going right into X-rated mode.
Rex has said that the models found the standing dildo scenes uncomfortable (Eufrat's shows were especially great with this). Okay - I can see that. It's weird to think that no future model would agree to it, but sure. A standing, teasing clip doesn't seem like the same thing.
In another thread about duos, Rex mentioned that Totem was losing money on DB cards. They lost my money on these. There have been a number of threads about this. Maybe it's time to seriously consider bringing these back.
Here's my take: I can find porn all over the place. DB was great because it was just a little bit different. Now? Not so much.
