Ok. Here's another perspective...(the 200 lb. gorilla in-the-room perspective)
DISCLAIMER: this is purely MY take on the matter.
There are basically 3 types of users here on VG:
1.Those who only watch the girls !
2. Those who watch & Wank.
3. Those who only Wank .
Thank you England fer the term WANK"...I couldn't live without using it!
(In the interest of full disclosure I count myself as a #2 . I came here/stay here for the FantaSex but love the community & forum too)
OK. Totem are a bunch of nice, classy, tasteful,creative,guys & gals who've created these hot sites(VG,DB,VGuy).
VG, et al, were started to create something different from standard wham-bam pornography, something more "tasteful".
So Totem's view is "Tasteful FIRST...
WANKABILITY SECOND for priorities!
They will always choose "tasteful sexy" over "dirty sexy"(for lack of a better term)
Watching over Wanking.
Because there are perhaps, more #2's as members Totem is being pulled by consumer demand to also be more #2 supportive from their basic #1 identified position. Hence DeskBabes & more explicit VG babes were brought into being, but only after we the wankers spent a long time badgering Totem to change in that direction, keeping their classy but adding an appreciable amount of "More explicit erotic" i.e. "dirty sexy"(to some) into the mix.
Having said all that, the question of playing the clips in order is, to me,more of, though not exclusively so, a question of making the cards more accessible to "active use" i.e. wanking...twirling (for the woman users). (though, of course, when we are "only watchers" we have our own need for continuity too)
Totem, being primarily #1's in style & attitude,i.e. classy folk (with a lighter commitment to some #2 action)always come from the perspective of enhancing #1-ism at the expense of fully accessed #2-ism.
In other words-Having the ability to play clips in a row while being desirous to me as an active #2 kinda guy, is not a priority for the basically #1 focused Totem crew. Otherwise it would be here AS AN OPTION.
Aside from a bunch of us #2 Wankers chartering a some flights to Paris, making up our placards, ("Don't Spank The Wank","Totem Unfair to One Hand Whoopti Do-rs",'Mama Twirlers Against Discontinuity", etc.)& marching in front of Totem Offices ( in the hopes that a model will, upon exiting the building, trip & stumble into our arms) all we can do is consistently put forth our requests and give thanks that Totem DOES include the ability to watch our babes and set our own erotic levels!
Many's the time I've experienced the #1 editing of Totem that fades, too early, etc. as an example of "not enough #2-ism in the editing booth!" or, "OMG!I can't believe any attuned wanker would edit it like THAT!!!
But we soldier on. (little soldier, that is)and revel in every little finger dip & long explicit edit (there are more and more of these..Yippi...or Whoopti dooo) that the enlightening, classy, yet getting sexier, Totem team (luv U guyz) now bring to our, "Jeeze I don't think I'll ever see another real naked woman EVAH in my real life!, lives.
