When did VG become X-rated?

"@Wyldanimal: Do you know of any future plan to extend the rating system beyond 0 to 5 (say from 0 to 10)?"

I would tend to say No.
I myself believe the 6 level system currently in place is almost perfect for all current Totem products.

As I mentioned before, I think there are some tweaks needed between level 3 and level 4.
But other than that, the 6 current levels are sufficient.

What I also feel is that the level guide is too technical.
too much wording that leads to debates about does he clip meet this level wording, or a different level wording.

But this is not up to me or the other QA members, it's Totems guide, and we try to follow it. Sometimes we question and debate about it, but Totem has the final say.

Level 0 has yet to be used by Totem's products, but with the New Product iDancer that REX brought up. This level might be reserved for that.
0- under 18 approved, I think Totem called it "All Audience"
1- no nudity - might containe some sexual suggestive content.
2- toples
3- full nudity, bottomless
4- explicit
5- X-rated

but like I said, each level has a lot of descriptive wording.
so the levels just aren't that simple to decide sometimes.

With more member feed back, citing specific clip examples.
Totem might at some time adjust the guide again.

But I think it is really pretty good as it stands now.

Unfortunately, previously rated cards won't get re-rated anytime soon, if at all.
with current production schedules, there just isn't enough time to go back and re-rate them.
So Unless a card has a flaw and needs to be re-encoded. the current ratings of the cards are how they are.

Although I agree with most that has been said in the topic by the OP, I disagree about the comparison about a real strip club and a software that barely recreates the experience. Is just like comparing real driving to GTA.

"Strippers on your desktop" is indeed descriptive of what the software is about, but it does not limit what the models can or would do besides that. And, in fact, it doesn't.

Totem added the sexual behaviour long ago to the shows. Now, they like it or not, is part of the product. The users are used to it and they will dislike plenty if it is gone or absent. In the "Totem's strip club" a girl open her legs, rubs and at times fingers herself. Is normal, to me, that many people expects to see that when they pay their "entrance" to this club. I don't feel amazed if the habituals boo to mild shows that give less for the same money.

People tend to forget that all this X-rated stuff for VG was originated by the "bottle incident" that halted the natural evolution of VG. Before that all was explicit at top, including fingering and pretended orgasms.

VG became X-Rated the moment the need to produce shows again for VG with the content that was removed, ***** off users for years, and restored later had to be equalized, nominately, to a different product that took the same sexual behaviour, increased, to cater for people looking for hardcore porn. When I said "nominately", I'm agreeing that VG, even with some energic fingering as models like Natali Blond or Marie did, should not be ever considered "X-rated", but the top of the VG sexual behaviour. Not a single model ever again achieved the joyful sexual behaviour of the pre-bottle incident and likely none ever will.

So, explicit and X-rated for VG is just semantics. I think, then, that no matter what a VG model is willing to do, or end up doing after the stripping, the production will not release or allow DBs-style of L5 content on the VG product and so, all the spicy stuff happening in VG can be just labeled as explicit. That way no user will ever expect to see real long masturbation in VG and it can finally be detached from DBs.

Now, full nudity and explicit, I do think can be something users with softer preferences might want to keep specified, cause seems some people just don't like to see sexual behaviour. So I think this tag is needed.
