I don't intend to be mean but... Is it just me or has the attractiveness of the girls really gone downhill recently?

Tastes are usually different so ya it is what it is, at least for your Taste :)
But on the other Hand, i can't imagine that with over 4000 obtainable Cards in the Store,
that there is not a few or maybe some hundred, that doesn't hit your Taste.

I don't intend to be mean but... Is it just me or has the attractiveness of the girls really gone downhill recently?

I somewhat agree - but I also think that it's because we have pretty much seen everything there is in the store and the excitement of something 'new' is gone, at least for members with a big collection like me.

I know I buy A LOT less than I used to.

The attractiveness of cards always comes and goes, with respect to any one user's tastes, because Totem tries to cater for evreybody. Don't forget we've been under lockdown with international travel restrictions for the last few months, so I suspect that their recent choice has been restricted to girls already working in Paris.

Also. the casting team don't really know much about the girls in advance of booking. Obviously they review their work and request videos of them stripping, but some of them have a magic in their iStripper performances that I think Totem find hard to predict.

So, like @Stanston says, buy from the back catalogue and wait for things to look up from your point of view. Like you, I'm selective, but I'm well over budget for the first half of this year, because they happen to have published several girls that suit my preferences. Just keep an eye on the new releases and something will appear that'll appeal to you.

I somewhat agree

According to my taste 2020 so far is distinctly better than 2019. As a percentage of the published cards I bought substantial more cards in 2020 then in 2019. The general level of performance has also gone up the last years (again everything according to my taste). Of several weeks in the months april-juli I didn't buy any card a week, which had to do with the model selection. This had never happened in the years 2013-2018 except during my long holidays.

Remember guy's it's not what a girl/model's face looks like it's what she look's like on the inside: personality, performance, sense of humor, can she cook, bake, & sew.. Oh!! your knowt interested in that just in how the ice cream or milk flows down her breasts into her neither regions. hahahahahnow thats what I'd like to see, these girls /models who don't know how to do crap cooking, baking, performing, sewing with a sense of humor. ya know what they can't/won't even do at home. heheheesome needle point, that be nice👌

Your age says 34 but your comments scream 64 or maybe 74.😄

I actually came to the forums to post something very similar. I've bought a whopping 17 cards (8 different girls) that have been released in 2020 so far. I have a library of 900+ cards - so it's not like I don't buy cards. While I still have a bit of a backlog of cards for 2020 that I have wishlisted, it's a pretty small amount when compared to the total number of cards that have been released in 2020.

I get that different people have different tastes. I've currently got 300 or my 900 cards active, with a fair portion of the other 600 cards inactive due to them being lower resolution - not because of the quality of the girls. So based on that I'd say I've got some pretty wide and varied tastes. Given I've bought relatively few cards in 2020, that should indicate that there's definitely some tastes being missed in the selection of girls being released this year.

Not really. Out of the 3k+ in my collection, I have only a few that are not that attractive to me...But, I really love woman, especially sexy woman!
💜✌😎

@gkar45

however we all have our faults don't we

Yap, that's totally true.

But, I really love woman, especially sexy woman!

Thanks @aLOT for that Statement 😊

I don't intend to be mean but... Is it just me or has the attractiveness of the girls really gone downhill recently?

In the past month I would personally agree, and there are some upcoming girls that don't strike my fancy either. Most of this year has been outstanding though, been buying more than usual.

Kinda true - but mostly because of oversized tattoos. Even the small ones tend to annoy me nowadays.

Greetings and Good Day to One and All!

Happy independance Day to all our community members who hail from the U.S. of A!
Murica!

@snappy42 You asked: "Is it just me or has the attractiveness of the girls really gone downhill recently?"

I respect your point of view

My answer to your question: Absolutely Not : )

All models and women - regardless of their shape, size, weight, age, nationality, ethnicity, hair color, including their personal decisions to have tattoos and/or body piercings - should - at all times, every day, without question - be equally appreciated and celebrated with grace, honor, and respect.

Each and every model who has ever chosen to work with Totem throughout their various product versions are wonderful and amazing in their own way. Without them there would be no Totem and this vibrant worldwide community would not exist.

I absolutely love the vibrant atmosphere that the models are able to enjoy while working with Totem - they are free to be themselves without being told what to do. Respectfully "F" that idelology of a director telling a model to look or act a certain way. <soap box>

I also love the wide range of unique props that continue to be made available to the models which they can incorporate into their shoot, such as costumes, oils, lotions, water, toys, etc.

Can you imagine if Totem only featured women who had one particular hair color? LOL

Thank God it's Friday? @celine - no - Thank God for VARIETY!.....and for tattoos and piercings! : )

After all, we each have our likes and dislikes and that is what makes us all unique individuals : )

@snappy42 Great topic of conversation!

I love you all. Be Safe. Have Fun. Stay Sexy.

Hi @FireMedic177
I was reading your Post and ... WOW absolute Respect for that 👍
You hit exactly the point, at least in my Opinion.

After all, we each have our likes and dislikes and that is what makes us all unique individuals : )

I has to do that 😀

Same to you :)

Hi, I think my point has been missed.
It has got nothing to to with Tattoos, piercings, hair colour, ethnicity or how good they can dance. I enjoy them all, even those who can't dance. Every ethnicity and style has it's beautiful girls and its ordinary ones.

If you're coming to iStripper you're looking for someone to get your heart racing, someone who out in the real world you would never stand a chance of enjoying their company. It is a physical thing. Some are beautiful, some are plain. I would have thought iStripper would be about beautiful girls, not plain ones whom you wouldn't look twice at if you passed them in the street.

It's all very admirable to talk about personality and if we're talking about who we have as friends or lovers in our lives then that counts for a lot. But for sexy girls stripping on my computer? It doesn't matter.

I know it's incredibly shallow but that's what this is right? It's stripping and sex and bodies and desire and lust... not cum-bye-ahh

@snappy42 - For a many of us the girl's peronality matters a great deal.

And, in my opinion, the answer to your original question is "no".

@snappy42 - For a many of us the girl's peronality matters a great deal.And, in my opinion, the answer to your original question is "no".

I am in accord with @TheEmu.

Personality is vital in this world because it is what allows you to connect with the dancer and fuel your fantasies. If a girl displays no personality, then what you often get is what resembles bored indifference - and that just turns me off instantly.

These are not just pieces of meat on display. They are real people and I for one want to be treated to a girl who looks like she wants to be stripping for me. They do not have to be unattainable goddesses - in fact one of the best girls I think currently on iStripper is Camille Wallace who has given us four totally different shows with role playing (and hence underlying personality) to suit - and she is not what would probably be defined as a supermodel.

attractiveness of the girls

That is very Subjective as each member finds what is Attractive to them in their own unique way.

For me, there has not been a single iStripper model that I would call plain or unattractive.
I like and enjoy them all.

So to answer your 1st question, no, it has not gone downhill in my perspective.

I don't intend to be mean but... Is it just me or has the attractiveness of the girls really gone downhill recently?

Yes, it's all you. No, nothing goes downhill, it's simple diversity, as always.

I would have thought iStripper would be about beautiful girls, not plain ones whom you wouldn't look twice at if you passed them in the street.

It is about beauties. And with this statement from you, I don't feel the need to make any further serious statements.

Sorry, but I agree with @snappy42

I think you guys are missing the point a little here. There's at least some (and I would imagine a fiar amount) of members who don't have any interest in the personalities of the girls. The main page of the iStripper website says "Hot babes perform exclusive erotic shows on your desktop". This is what a bunch of us are here for. We don't want to get to know the girls, we just come for the eye candy. Same for strip joints and porn.

That doesn't mean we think they're pieces of meat or care about whether they enjoy their work - we do care and fully realise they're people as well. We just assume that by being on iStripper that they actually want to be here and are appropriately compensated. It's a business, that's how it works. We're not here to meet the girls, talk to them, become their friends, etc. We're here to watch people that we see as beautiful (or hot).

Yes, it's subjective, and I have no issues with other members being here for a more 'personal' experience - but I also don't think it's fair to look down on someone who is purely here for eye candy.

For me personally, a lot of the girls lately are (to me) about as attractive as my wife (or less so) - and for me, they're not cards I'm willing to buy. I come here to buy cards of girls that I feel are more hot/attractive than what I would ever have a chance of seeing in real life - and so far (for me) that's only about 8 or so istripper girls that have been featured this year.

The striptease is downhill nowadays, models used to have more clothes and make it look like it was a real striptease, now they just only dance with lingerie on

That is a very valid point - if a girl only has two items of clothing (bra and pants) the variations for a striptease are minimal. If however she starts in, say, jacket, shirt, skirt, bra, panties and stockings, the potential variations exceed the number of clips.

So - we need better choice of outfits and more imagination in choreography.

If model A came up to you on the street and said "take me now! I am all yours" would you turn her down.

The answer is no. It doesn't matter who is model A.

while we can rank the models as favorite dancer, favorite busty, favorite for breakfast, favorite for taxes, etc I am pretty sure even your lowest ranked model is still awesome.

On the other hand... who (which card) would I pay for is a different question. We are paying for our fantasy. If a month goes buy without my dream girl, I will save my credits for the next month.

If model A came up to you on the street and said "take me now! I am all yours" would you turn her down.

The answer is no. It doesn't matter who is model A.

You reach a certain age and the answer is how much and can you wait while I fetch my meds.

@pantalone
warning for the little pill

"If an erect lasts longer than two hours, call your doctor."

Hell, if it's longer than two hours, I'll call every woman i've ever known!!!

Yeah, A heart attack is on the way....

but what a way to go!!!

If model A came up to you on the street and said "take me now! I am all yours" would you turn her down.

The answer is no. It doesn't matter who is model A.

For some of the models... actually the answer is yes. I would turn her down. That was kind of my point.

I meet a lot of different lovely women but it doesn't mean I desire them. Friendship and desire are two different things. Friendship I can find anywhere. Desire, I only find here.
Sure I want the models to be happy and friendly but I'm not kidding myself in thinking we have any kind of connection. They don't really care about me at all. It's all an act. I'm okay with that. It's their job to make us feel wanted.

Anyway, I'm in the minority here. I'm just here for physical beauty and the lust. If you're here for anything else, you're over paying. If you want friendship, just go outside and talk to people.

@snappy42 , know you are not alone in this..
Right now I deleted almost half of the shows I own..
In a part because of space issues,other part because I do not like the shows..
A lot of them I won wih the games like scratchcards and Slot machine so most off those I did not download to begin with..
And lately there are some models that just don't have it for me but that is just a matter of taste..
It's just that we do not like the same models and that's okay by me..

@snappy42

I agree.
This is a fantasy. We see what we want, etc.
That being said, I will also point out I too have cards I don't use, (slot machine, etc.) but....
if that woman wanted me....Hey Hey Hey!!!

(I know it will never happen, but my point is every model is attractive. Some better than others, some with my preference more than others, etc. but they are all attractive.)
