The last few months, I have observed that the new shows that come out are very short.
Its just not right for me to buy a show that is "24 minutes, 23 clips".
When I joined Deskbabes at the beginning, I thought that I would spend more credits here, than VirtuaGirl.
But as time passes, I find my collection in VirtuaGirl increasing vertically and my collection in Deskbabes being stationary.
Under 30 min shows are not worth the 2 or 3 credits in my opinion.
I think that Totem should look into this matter.
As for me, I am not going to spend credits (not even for a special offer) if the show is under 30 min. Its just ridiculus.

I have to agree. I find it difficult to pull the trigger on anything that's listed as less than 30 minutes, and it seems there's been more and more of these short shows lately.

I did buy Davon Kim (23 mins) yesterday because she got really good comments. While I don't regret getting her card since it's pretty damn hot, I am rather disappointed with it because there aren't that many clips and a lot of them are very brief. This card could have been amazing if it was longer...

I totally agree Peter. That was how I selected shows when I first got here. I still use it as a deal breaker on DB and VG too.

I fully agree..!!
I keep looking around behind my screen to see if some stray pixels have fallen out and are scattered on the floor.
(Little Davon Kim Nipple bits- Perky but with no where to go?)
But alas...no.
I don't know what the Mind Set is over at Totem regarding length of both clips & cards but sometimes it seems to me that they are thinking ," It is more tasteful if the explicit action is kept to short exposures. (!!!)
This only creates frustration in viewers who are here for the ...er...erotic action AND PLEASURE!
It is not enhancing the "tease" element either!
To enhance the tease element you create clips that, in & of themselves are tease ! A flaring skirt,a dancing come on, a bend over panty view, bend over frontal exposed breast, a kiss, a spank, an open leg pose while seated with short skirt, caressing breasts from behind while clothed, grabbing ass in jeans with hot, desire, dropping to knees & kissing denim heaven cheeks,etc.Y'know...like in REAL life!
To give us 20 seconds of pussy licking AND THEN FADE is only amping up the "ARGHHHH" frustration response. Which has direct action of clinching the purse strings (when the extended erotic action SHOULD have us clinching our cocks or spinning our clits, and wanting, "More o' that 'cause that feels sooooo gooood!")
Simple equation: "ARGHHH"...(CLINCH!!Frustration/not pleasent/tightening" purse strings!)vs. "AHHHH..that feels soooo goood"...Release/pleasure...(Juices & Money)
"Give me more! I like the way that makes me feel"!
Case in point:Video accompanying Aleta's solo DB's card...Hot sexy anal insert action...But the anal comes only at the end of a very short clip...she's apparently still going strong but Totem has us fading away....Why?? It's only a two minute clip? Why not do a 4 minute clip of this great stuff ("ahhh...feels good!")Have Aleta go on to orgasm & have a little time for some beauty mouth focus, kissing, sucking, with her full lips! (Ahhh...feels good...Looks good...Sounds good!!..Gimmee more!!")
Let's enjoy the Lushness of Erotic Adventure at least Voyeuristicly since it's a good bet that babes like this are NOT knockin' at OUR doors ready to seduce us. (I know, I've looked in my meadow many times!)Extend the pleasure...extend the time...extend the desire to get more!
Totem It's good, I love ya'
But please continue to make it better!
("Ahh it would make me feel soooo good!")

Enclosed, please find $50.00 for my intimate gift of "Aleta's WetPanties In A Can"! The SprayGasm Aroma for that Special Moment when Discerning Wankers/Twirlers REALLY WANNA FEEL GOOD!"

"24 minutes, 23 clips" is simply frustrating, as Plasonic agrees (and with whom I agree, but not necessarily for his reasons!). The thing's this, a show can be rated for its entertainment value (EV):
EV = quality x duration? EV is the rating you give a card when you comment upon it, given that the price is not at issue.

I wonder if there is too much willingness to award "10" to cards. Should there be an 11 out of 10 special bonus award?

Please do comment in my poll on "show duration", Peter22, if you haven't already. It looks as though half of Totem's customers are disappointed by shows of less than 35mins.. I want 45mins.!

By the way, who's the soaped, naked woman sat facing the camera in the VirtuaGirl Strippers On Your Desktop picture that includes a portrait?

Yes it's the super sexy Morgane...I think that the cream application was in"FLASHY BABE"

LMAO @plasonic "I keep looking around behind my screen to see if some stray pixels have fallen out and are scattered on the floor."

has happend a few times to me "she gets on all fours and starts rubbing/fingering" and poof in less than 30 seconds. Hope the new content comming out will fix that.

Yes been trying to push for some more DB version of the VG's oils and creams (handcuffs/whips) anything other than plasic forplay in duo's and solos.

Untill the new content comes out, can't suggest the teacher and bad student, or prison guard/prisoner, or Boss lady catching her secertary smelling the boss ladies spare panties.

With longer scenes a lot could be "brought in".

I just saw the new cards today, numbers 108, 117 and 120. I am about to bang my head on the desk.
24 minutes , 24 clips.
24 minutes, 21 clips.
29 min, 21 clips.
I am impressed that many bought them.
Are you really all happy with this?
I ll keep on criticizing this and posting in this thread.

I joined on about a week ago - originally, when I bought a card, I thought I was purchasing a 30 minute continuous show....I kept thinking it hadnt downloaded properly.. :} ..I think clips need to be a lot longer than a couple-few minutes.....with options to purchase longer 30 minute clips....

@Rangerett, Deskbabes is evolving. Totem are planning to have clips of about 12 mins. Hope you enjoy.

Well, if totem are planning to have clips of 12 min , its their bad. They had to spoil older members with 45 min shows and now they give us this. Anyway....

I read the Totem announcement as, cards broken up into a series of up to 12 minute clips to increase continuity of the sexy action. So not "only" 12 minute clip but multi 12 minute clips for the further enjoyment of all. I think Rex stated they could be advanced by "chapter" within them too while having the ability to play shorter segments too.
Totem, correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope they'll boost card lengths up into the 40 plus minutes range and keep the latest hotter action going too!
Anyway we'll see soon...hopefully!

Ok, so, I found the announcement about the 12 min clips.

Maybe I am wrong, but it does not define if its going be a 12 min continuous show or 12 min clips in a show.

If its the first one, again, I think its wrong, but I will have to see the content.
If it evolves from light sexy to Xrated during the 12 min, its wrong for me. If its going to be many 12 min shows that will be sold seperately (light sexy, topeless, explicit etc) again its wrong.
If again, it is to be , for example, four 12 min clips sold as one show, then I would agree.

I see Totem continues in this line with new short released cards.

I still wait an answer from Totem why so short shows,although I posted in another forum some time ago.The selection of the girls isn`t so great like before (isn`t on my taste),the shows are too short..... What can I say? Totem starts to decrease in my eyes.And when you think I was very glad when they introduced the new cards with the new video cameras....
Of course some members will say (maybe) they like the new shows because is more explicit content in them.Other members maybe will think there is some problems with space on hard drives.Well,this is our problem not Totem and we`ll always find solutions about that.
From my point of view I like the old approach of Totem(I like the tease of the girls before undress,I like when they walk on the stage,I like to hear the sound of the heels on the stage,I like when they talk(not only when they moan) and after that I like the whole part with rubbing pussies and the part with dildos- With other words I like the old style of Totem).Well,that old style of Totem vanished:(

I CAN GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
IMAGINE YOU ARE IN REAL LIFE.
WHAT DO YOU PREFFER MORE??
YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO TEASE YOU A LITTLE BIT FIRST( TO TURN YOU ON)AND AFTER TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU OR TO UNDRESS VERY QUICKLY AND TO START THE ACTION??
THINK AND I WAIT YOU GUYS WITH ANSWERS.
I admit I didn`t buy any short show(and I will not buy) and maybe I`m wrong but as that I read in some forums,girls undress very quickly and start the action.

Although Totem starts to release the short shows,I found some long shows on my taste(Zafira-solo,Silvie Deluxe & Monika,Zafira & Playful *****,Monika-solo,Lola-solo,Silvie Deluxe-solo,Silvie Deluxe & Lola).
My criteria of choosing a card is very simple.First,the girl(girls) must be on my taste(must be beautiful) and second the shows must be long enough to buy them.Although I will like one girl(2 girls) ,I will not buy the cards IF I will see short shows (8,9,10 ,11...clips with 24-30 minutes) and I don`t see any improuvement from Totem about that.

I joined on these sites (VG and DB) because I wanted to see HOT and SEXY strippers on VG and HOT and SEXY performers on DB.Well,the new girls aren`t so HOT and SEXY like the old ones and I`m very dissapointed about the new selection of the girls
(LIKE I SAID MANY TIMES, ONE CRITERIA OF TOTEM IN CHOOSING THE GIRLS NOW, IS THE SIZE OF THE BREASTS AND FACE IS LESS IMPORTANT)(is only MY opinion).
I understand Totem follows maybe what members want(BIG or HUGE breasts with not so pretty faces) and I understand also for Totem is just a buisness,but I will refuse to be in the line with other members just because the girl has big breasts).Of course taste is different for each of us and I know very well what girls I like and what girls I don`t like.

SO Totem doesn`t give me any option( except to quit to buy DB cards) and remain with VG.
What I noticed(unfortunetaly),is that Totem starts "to cut" also the new cards of VG.And to give an example I think is a much diference between the cards released when appeared that group of girls(Kami,Chelsea French,Sarah,Satin Bloom)(were more longer than the new shows realesed now).Of course I`m not 100% sure,but I think I`m right.

IF Totem continues in this manner,one thing is sure for me[(I will not spend 2 or 3 credits-even 1 credit when will appear) for 8-9-10.. clips(24-30 minutes)]

I WANT SHOWS MINIMUM 45 MINUTES.

I also liked the longer cards. I think we are missing on lots of teasing from the girls with these shorter cards. We need to be seduced and aroused more. The girls need to get more into foreplay like in real life, and this will make them get more excited and give us a more arousing show that we could see. They will have a nicer smile which is what we want to see.
