OK, that's the first time I've ever seen a complete explanation of Totem's intended differences between VG and Desk Babes. It clears up some things I've wondered about in the past. I always assumed DB was more "Sex on your Desktop" than VG, but couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be "2 girl lesbian", why there were some single model shows on it. I'm still having some difficulty discerning why having a dildo shoved inside a girl on Desk Babes is "Sex on your Desktop" while having a model with her fingers inside her on VG isn't "Sex on your Desktop", but that's just me. ;-)

Hopefully someday everyone will be able to agree on what an "explicit" vs an "x-rated" clip should contain, but I doubt that will ever happen. That's what I was posting about in the first place. I can't conceive of any "guideline" used by Totem that will please everybody when it comes to deciding if a clip is "explicit" vs "x-rated". Or for that matter, even some of the other tags used. There are just too many variables in the opinions different people will have.

As an example, take a clip where the model is on the taskbar wearing only a thong or bikini bottom. Obviously, she is "Topless". At no time during the clip does she expose any nudity below the bottom clothing item. But she does slide her hand inside the thong/bikini bottom and is obviously "touching herself" ("explicit"?) or maybe even inserting part of her hand into herself ("x-rated"?). What is the appropriate "tag" for the nudity level of that clip?

I guess it depends on whether the criteria is "What you see" vs "What she is doing". I have a very vivid imagination, so I wouldn't have a problem calling that clip "explicit" or "x-rated". ;-)

Many other members would probably disagree with me and say "It's only topless!" And that's OK too. But it would never stop any debate from occurring in the future again. ;-)

I'm satisfied with your answer. In as much as I am the "Member" who made the post you used in the second post of this thread, you can close this thread if you want to.

PS - Just so there is no misunderstanding, I have NO PROBLEM with a VG model being explicit or x-rated. In my previous "mis"-understanding of Totem's idea of the differences between VG and DB, I just never EXPECTED a model in VG to have to include explicit or x-rated content in one of her shows. The ***** of it would never have been a determining factor in whether I would buy her show or not. That's why I don't have a problem with Rex's idea of casting "no leg spread" models for VG. But obviously based on some other member's posts, they would have a problem and have even stated they would not buy a show like that because it lacked explicit or x-rated content in the show. To each his own, I guess.

VG, VG2, Stripsaver2 all of Totem's prior Desktop stripper programs, Had been just as Explicit or X-rated. In fact I'd say the prior products were even more so than it is now.
The biggest difference in the older products, was resolution.
You really couldn't see the Explicit or X-rated action because the Size of the product was so small on the screen.

VirtuaGirl HD changed all that.
Up until about card a0500 VG was a very explicit and often X-rated product.

At that time there were only 4 levels.
No nudity
Topless
Nude
Explicit - included anything that was more then just Nude.

In 2009 Totem created a new lesbian based product Similar in style to the gay product VirtuaGuy. This new product was called Deskbabes.
Totem Decided that ONE GUI would be used for all of the Products.

This required a new Rating system with the addition of 2 more level.
There is a Level 0, which so far has remained unused.
And the Addition of Level 5.

Totem, not the Members, created the Level Guide for assigning the Levels which are encoded into the clip and the clip name.
Since 2009, this Guide has been a work in progress. As new clips with Borderline or Different Not seen before content comes up, the guide has been adjusted.

I think it is very close to being just about perfect, with the most recent change.
Now the Split between Level 3 and Level 4 just needs a little tweak..

The only similarity between Deskbabes to VirtuaGirl, was that it would be all girls.
It is a completely Different product from VG.

So For the Members who always say, "if you want explicit or X-rated content, use DB"
It's like comparing Bananas to Sneakers. They aren't even similar.

I'm in the US. I've been to many Gentlemen's clubs.
I've never been to one that didn't have spreading, or heavy rubbing.
and some of them Did have finger insertions.
These were all BYOB clubs.

So that is what I expect from VG.
A good performance with Dancing and Striptease, but it also should go to completion with between the leg views, and if the model is willing, heavy rubbing / insertion.

The Level control of the GUI, give you as a Member, the Option to View or NOT view this content.
But it is part of the content, and should not be restricted or removed.

Granted, There were a few clubs that Had Liquor License. and In thoes clubs, the girls couldn't even get Toppless. Pasties over the nipples, and G-strings.
But the Clubs with Liquor License were far and few... and very unpopular.

Deskbabes is not a substitute for Virtuagirl, it also not a more X-rated version of VirtuaGirl.
Deskbabes is it's own product, it is not a stripping or Dance product.
"Sex on your Desktop" featuring all girls.

With VirtuaGirl, I want a good Performance that includes All the Levels, including Explicit and X-rated content, just like it has always been.

I don't think anyone is asking fo VG to become a hardcore XXX porn product.
We just want it to still contain the explicit and X-rated type of clips it has in the past.

Agree & support WA's decision to create this topic, but to give an understanding as to how long this subject has been debated, see the pic for the bottom end of a search on topic with "explicit" in the title.

One such topic can be found here:

http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=3&ftId=982

One requirement of this topic though is to keep it civil. If you read the above topic, you will find that towards the end, it started to become personal. I recall other topics where it got a lot nastier. Don't let it happen here!

This debate can easily get heated if members do not as WA has said many times, "take a deep breath".

Members Post:

My main question is, "When did VG become Totem's "Explicit" and "X-Rated" venue for "Desktop STRIPPERS"? Or maybe a better question would be, "When did VG MEMBERS begin expecting that?"

Wasn't the development of DESK BABES supposed to be the venue for those who wanted to see "Explicit" and/or "X-Rated" shows?

VG is marketed as a "STRIPPER on your desktop". In that regard, I don't expect a VG model to put on a show commensurate with it being an XXX porno movie. A girl who "strips" may end up removing SOME or ALL of her clothes, and it may depend on the local laws in the geographic area where she performs her striptease. That "definition" will accommodate any VG member here who purchases model shows from VG. In my geographical location there are "Full Nudity" establishments where the girl will remove all clothing, but ONLY if no alcoholic beverages are served to the patrons. If ***** is served, the girl will not be allowed to display nipples or any genitalia area (thus they wear "pasties" and must leave at least something that covers their genitalia area).

I agree that may not be the case in other areas of the world. Yes, I have travelled and gone to the full fledged "Banana Shows" in some countries where anything the "stripper" could shove up their bodily orifice was inserted there.

When I go to a "strip bar" or "gentlemen's club", I don't EXPECT to see a performer ("stripper") "showing pink" or "spreading legs" or "shoving a broomstick up her *** or ****" (or even "playing with herself" with her own hands). If she removes SOME or ALL of her clothing, then she has met the requirements of her "stripper performance". And I think that Rex's recent request for feedback about casting "beautiful girls for VG who will NOT spread their legs" is totally in line with what a VG "stripper" could be expected to do. I'm amazed some responses Rex got said, "If she won't spread her legs, I'm not buying her show!" Poor expectation from the purchaser of a model in VG.

I'm NOT saying it would be necessary to STOP VG models from "showing pink" or "spreading legs" or "touching themselves" on VG if the model wanted to do that. But ALL of those clips could just be called "Full Nudity". Nobody should EXPECT a VG "stripper" to put on an XXX rated show JUST BECAUSE she got "fully nude". If the model does any of those "extra" things, fine. But the ONLY ratings that should be "required" for VG clips should be "No Nudity", "Topless", and "Full Nudity", even if she does anything "extra".

If a Totem customer wants to see GUARANTEED "Explicit" or "X-Rated" shows where the model will "spread legs" or "show pink" or insert ANYTHING into any of her body cavities, they should be buying Desk Babe shows. There should be no "guarantees" that ANY VG show will be "explicit" or "x-rated", whether there is leg-spreading, pink-showing, or the insertion of a telephone pole into somewhere interior to the model's body parts.

When did Virtual Girl go "hardcore"? Why should ANY VG show clip need an "explicit" or "x-rated" tag...for ANY reason? Heck, we might as well just get rid of Desk Babes and combine all the cards into one venue if the expectation is "Strippers On Your Desktop" means "explicit and x-rated" XXX-Hardcore now.

One of our members posted an interesting question in the New Cards thread.
I think it's something that should be open for discussion, so I'm creating this thread for it to be continued here.

And just one Reminder.. NO NUDITY allowed in the Avatar..
there is a text reminder on that page, but it is often overlooked.

I just been watching my purchased show of Zoe / rebel spirit which bought on account of the photos shown, out of those 44 at least 9 were fully nude lying down ( with perhaps the possibility of others ) but I watched this on explicit , nude and x rated and after 90 mins Ive give up , because it simply wont show ( if its even there at all ) Whats worse too is the No of teasing that leads to nothing but anger and frustration at having to wait and recall all the previous actions in hope of seeing one that might not be the same.

This isnt the first time either this has happened , and with reasonably good score sometimes its hard to tell , so if theres less than 0% chance of seeing anything why are photos like that put up to suggest otherwise ???

If you get involved in some of the threads, you may find people of similar interests to yourself.

a girl gets off the ladder when she gets no votes in a challange.

you could be right,Ricky78.. and it could be argued that Dandelion can be dropped from the ladder, as 10 votes in a row were given against her... ;)
