@johho
note that when the reg values of app changed not from ui - then settings in ui appears as unchanged, so if you see selected "all levels of eroticism" it's can be because the app just don't know that your regtool/playtool/script already have changed the settings. sometime is enough just reselect and no more warnings, but it's not always resets allowed choice of clips. try restart the app to reread the reg values and look what is really in "levels" field of settings. many times after restarting i saw that there selected only one type of clips so of course the app tells me "no clips to play etc".

@all
as far as i remember since 2012 the Totem's developers many times have proved that they able to fix a bugs without lost the functionality and able to significally improve their software, so don't worry, members. of course me annoying that small improves like "all model's cards include selected in readable size right under description of selected card" in end of their to do list, but looking on posted screenshot by @Amelly i understand that devs have again more urgent things to thinking. hmm... looks like the screen buffer still contain the content of previous page...

I am currently obsessed with Mikki...she is so beautiful! 😍

Not looking forward to the awful heat of the summer here...but I sure am looking forward to that "Summer Solstice"...oh dear somebody fan me off lol

Semantic hair-splitting...hmmm

I like the new iStripperXXX format; it's something I think is unique not produced elsewhere. The old Deskbabe shows are more like long boring porn shows, which can be readily found many places and with essentially no striptease content, which I'm more interested in.

I enjoy the standing and pole dancing clips, and especially the explicit clips with the girl finally undressed and dancing inclusively in totally nudity. I would like to see included at least two, preferably three explicit and/or XXX table clips of 1 to 3 minutes duration.

Like it was said, the old Deskbabes are more like long, boring porn shows, not strip shows, which I enjoy.

Devon Devasquez was also a playmate, June 1985.

Totem Entertainment, a French company, developed and owns the VirtuaGirl and iStripper software and licenses the use cards that can only be played on that software.

@Hopeful1 Rebranding, same developers.

Is "Istripper", the new owners of "Virtuagirl"?

"pornography; ...designed to be sexually arousing." (Chambers English dictionary)

"eroticism: ...interest in, or pursuit of, sexual sensations." (Chambers English dictionary)

English is my first language and I can't really tell the difference. I suppose that pornography is an erotic product. You can have erotic art, which is intended by the artist to invoke an emotion beyond pure lust, Dance can include eroticism, while being artistic. What the product consists of (*****, S&M, etc.) is irrelevant.

But iS isn't art, although elements of the dance may be artistic. It is pornographic or, if you prefer, erotic. The xxx discussion relates to degree of explicitness and format. Contributors (not me, because I'm not really a fan of the xxx cards) are getting into knots trying to differentiate the words and attributing meanings to them that don't exist.

As for exploitation, are we being exploited by women who take our money, exploiting our weakness for seeing them with no pants on? Of course we are. As we were by Titian when he painted Venus and sold it, on when we pay to listen to a couple of girls singing the Flower Duet. There's no disrespect associated with exploiting somebody's desires for financial gain, so long as it is a fair trade between adults with nobody being conned or bullied into the transaction. Totem doesn't con or bully the models, so any disrespect is purely in our imagination.

So, @Terbone, I suggest you can ignore the semantic hair-splitting. Tell them to write it in Dutch!

Chill

This (What @91hebasu said)

@Terbone...

Seriously just take one...like...right now! (you'll feel better trust me 😉)

Not sure how I did this... but pressing the 'back' button fixes it! :)

I won't delete the thread

However, take a break from this for a couple days. If you still feel that you have no further use for it after that, you can send me a PM to request that it be closed.

Is that what the "Rebuild Collection" button in advanced settings is used for, I've never had to move my collection but that sounds familiar. And make sure you pointed the software to the right directory which sounds like you may have already done.

Yes, that is true '91hebasu' and for that I would like to apologize for mine behavior. right now, I cannot find any kind of 'rest' in myself because this XXX Rated format issue makes me nervous. but I will leave the forums be for the moment I need to clam down. My apologize goes to everyone for my bad behavior, didn't meen to ***** anyone.


(I dont really need this Topic anymore, so It can be deleted)

Any of it is meant to incite lustful, erotic, sexual feelings, from the artistic to the most obscene. I do think there is porn that degrades and promotes women as objects, or they might just have an insatiable sexual appetite but at some point are things just going too far? That's pretty much defined by your own moral compass because you can find anything out there these days.

Here I find it a nice balance focused celebrating the sexual spirit of gorgeous women. Yeah I'll go with that :P

I might have the wrong impression but..........

I think you might be over reacting to simple differences in opinions between members, different likes and dislikes and taking it personally Terbone

Chill

.. the economists' ideal "rational man" does not exist and customers will often react in irrational ways to price changes.

What motivates a person NOT to purchase, in the long term, should not be overlooked.

Recent history implies XXX buyers here can expect no more than around 30% true xxx action per card.
The way it is currently, there is no guarantee what content to expect in those 3 or 4 clips unless reviews by past purchasers point out specifics. Some members have tried to provide notes in card comments but it is not consistant or timely enough information for all releases.

If the price goes up, tagging has to be precise and more comprehensive. In my case discovering a predominance of strapons, oral toy play and anal in long clips would represent ***** money, and a reluctance or hesitation by me to purchase unknown xxx content in future. Especially at a higher price. Forcasting the favorable predilections of many folks here = sold cards, may be easier said than done.

By way of example: An interesting thing just happened with the new Mikki card ~firefly
It is tagged as 'naked feet' (usually an instant buy for me, if I like the model)
Discovering now that the tag is incorrect, has largely ***** my perceived value of this purchase, and even made me reluctant to trust purchasing her cards so quickly in future. Even previews don't help.
So there could indeed be a lot of factors at work beyond just numbers of cards initially sold.

I agree that the difference between porn and eroticism is a very fine line and I don't know exactly where to draw that line.

I disagree with the definition of Porn being *****, S+M, Golden Shower, etc.

To me, PORN means recording visually and/or writing about, then publishing sexual acts of any kind.

There's another part to the full word... 'graphic.' Graphic means a lot of things but in this context, 'Pornographic,' to me, means, something like, in your face, blatantly obvious sex. Doesn't have to be fetishist or nasty or weird.

Eroticism, to me means the appreciation of the physical form. I'm not gay but for others this would probably include the male form too. For me, seeing nicely done photography, videography or hand-made visual artwork can be a turn-on (erotic). Doesn't always need to be an obvious sexual act.

I must correct myself towards, KingUbu. It turns out I didn't really understand his comment in the first place. but after some good concentration and my lack of english (im from the netherlands) I can see what he actualy meens, altough i dont really share his opinion. but a opinion is a opinion.

Eroticism: is more beauty, masturbation soft-explicit sex

Porn: *****, SM, Golden Shower, Group Sex etc

But still I have alot of concerns about what happens after the 'Poll' 😳

Really hard to say the difference between Eroticism and Porn but I have respect for woman, no matter what.

Hi, I will try to explain this as precise I can.

After all information and comments gathered together after 3 á 4 days talking about the "Old" and "New" XXX rated format. so many peeple are against 'porn' clips in overall no matter wich type card is chosen at the end, the XXX type of Card that suppose to contain "More Explicit" isn't really popular. And as I said before: the poll is very hard confronting me, how many peeple doesn't want XXX Explicit content at all.

Where are you getting all this ?
Where do I get all this comments, from Topics that contains comments about XXX Content. Customers says after all these years, Totem Entertainment is not a place for porn (Go away, peeple! go to the web if you want porn!).. I catch ***** towards 'Porn' and XXX Explicit Content with comments like these.

Who do you believe is telling you that you're being disrespectful?
KingUbu, combined what is happening with "Deskbabes" concept triggered me to create this Topic

Who do you think is saying sexual eroticism is somehow disrespectful toward women?
KingUbu, Sexual Eroticsim (Porn)

This whole Topic made triggered me aswell.
http://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/35810/1?post=527190

Oh no...not another one of these threads lol

Opinions are just that my friend. Anything you enjoy is YOUR personal business. Nowadays, everyone feels they are entitled to comment on issues that have nothing to do with them. If you're not harming anyone physically, emotionally, etc. you're fine! Eat, drink, watch porn, be merry 😊

Neither we, the mods, nor Totem Team members are in the habit of removing topics. Threads get 'closed' sometimes. Usually because there's nothing further to be said or there was some confrontation between members. As long as it stays civil, it stays open.


Where are you getting all this ?

Who do you believe is telling you that you're being disrespectful ?

Who do you think is saying sexual eroticism is somehow disrespectful toward women ?

***Sexual Erotism***
Sexual Erotism, in other most famous word: Porn. I understand watching womans enjoying themselves is disrespectful to Woman? the forums is filled all over with comments like:

• "Against Porn!!, Bah! not for me"
• "If you respect Girls! you dont watch porn!!"
• "Pfff, iStripper is not the right place for porn, Sexual Erotic content"
• "Peeple that watch porn, are kind of twisted macho's"

So, basicly all saying: I dont respect woman because I watched and enjoyed Sexual Explicit content here. The main reason I watch sexual explicit content of girls is because I like to watch at woman masturbate and enjoy 'themselves' on my screen, no any disrespectful meenings here. Disrespectful for me towards womans, is for example:

> Womans dont have rights
> Womans may not vote
> Womans is only made for 'listening"
> Womans, yeh good for one-time-use.
> Womans are only good to me, if they obey.

Those are REAL examples for disrespectful behaviors towards womans. For me like to watch porn, i'm just very attracted to womans, the woman body.. how is this disrespectfull? For me the human body as speak for Male AND Females, is normal.. we are part of nature 😶.. how can sex be disrespectfull to man and woman while it is part of nature.

Sex is not bad thing, it is not a Crime. I would never confront just someone in public with my naked body because that person doesn't want to be confronted, besides it is a crime here in the netherlands but of course disrespectful aswell.

If someone can explain me what exactly is disrespectful about sex / porn related to Womans? in my point of vision, these models have alot of fun making these Sexual Content. If there is something disrespectful about porn and the reason is the Man (the macho), that Man in person is disrespectful, not the Porn Content 😊😊😊

I made this Topic because I was really curious why so many comments shows up with dislikes towards porn but aswell because these comments contains a slight kind of message to peeple enjoy watching porn. Came over as kind of ***** towards peeple watches porn, because.. we perverts, dont respect woman.. wich is totally not the case (in my situation), being disrespectfull is completly personal. And believe, me porn always works another way around, a woman that visit porn website are not going to these kind of sites for products like deodarants or make-up. they come for sexual explicit content, so called: Porn. Man and Woman are equal, we are on the same train.

Thanks for reading, Terbone


~~ It Is Like The Term Sex Fades More and More Away from the World ~~

>>This topic is not inrelevant, this topic goes indirectly about iStripper XXX - Deskbabes. I would like to ask Totem Entertainment kindly not to remove this Topic, I will promise to stay polite to other customers.<<

@Dorsai6 - I was aware of the factors you mention but did not want to complicate matters as I was primarily saying why I would be reluctant to pay double for a duo card. In reality the situation is even more complex because the sales of a duo card may at least in part be at the expense of reduced sales of other cards - especialy if the duo card was priced relatively cheaply - or it just might trigger extra sales of the other cards that the participants have produced. And on top of all that there is the final complication that the economists' ideal "rational man" does not exist and customers will often react in irrational ways to price changes.

@Ironmam79, you can't go wrong with Carolina Abril, either! She is a terrific performer and has a great ass, too! I love both these new girls.

@TheEmu

Re: The price of a new duo card

I agree that your estimate of costs is about right, but the cost to produce a card is only half of the equation in calculating a fair price. The other half is an estimate of the number of cards that would be sold. Those two girls will produce a number of singles as well as one duo, but perhaps fewer cards overall than a single girl would product in the same amount of time.

If a duo would not sell as well as current iStripper regular cards, a price of more than double might be justified. If the production time of a duo is longer than a solo card, this might also justify a higher price to make up for the lost revenue from the extra singles that could not be produced for lack of time.

If I were in Totem's position, I try a few experiments with a relatively high price. It's much easier to lower prices than to raise them. If sales exceed expectations, the price could be lowered to a fair level. If sales fail to meet expectations, the price could also be lowered to see the effect on sales. In either case Totem will learn enough determine whether they can make a profit from new duos.

@kellyoreilly gave a good analysis of the things Totem needs to consider.

Thanks @Paintsnudes and @AmericanGhost but i still don't know, i might try my luck with Carolina Abril.

She doesn't look like a Mikki type performer but her all around features are more attractive to me.

I mostly purchase XXX cards, and expect XXX type action, and lots of it. But, rather than go on, I'm quoting several who have posted their comments.

You guys should get lots of good ideas, if your intent is to make the best possible XXX cards for those who want to purchase XXX entertainment based on the medium and techiniques used by this company for its productions.

DeskBabes moved from short clips with XXX material in them to longer clips with XXX in them. This is a good thing. iStripperXXX moved from several longer clips with XXX in them to fewer clips of the same length with XXX in them. This is a bad thing.

I like longer clips (4 to 5 minutes) with most of them containing XXX material. That's why it's called iStripperXXX. These are supposed to be strippers, not porn stars, but if you're going to call it XXX, it should have XXX material. But there should be some dancing and teasing. It isn't iXXX, but iStripperXXX.

Make the xxx dance simulate sex movements, whereas the regular sets simulate strip tease. Heck, you could even pair outfits. So istripper regular series has a full piece business set with lingerie underneath. And then the accompanying xxx card has just the full lingerie. Any direction that adds more dancing and encourages a diversity of moves if best. I think every girl on the site can learn to shake their ass, do the splits to the best of their abilities, and use the poll as a prop well enough to show off.

The old format was good as it was. The only thing I would improve is the sound, because in some cards you can barely hear the model and in others it is so loud you have to tune down the speakers.

The new format needs more explicit clips on the table. The New XXX rated format is for me almost exact like the normal iStripper format, for me it's iStripperXXXlight. There should be longer or more explicit clips.

For Striptease & Dancing I the normal iStripper cards are great. But for me Dancing Clips don't interest me in XXX Rated Cards. I buy the XXX cards for explicit Content.

IstripperXXX should be littered with pantiless/crotchless outfits, sheer lingerie, cupless bras, micro bikinis, tube skirts/tops with nothing underneath, masturbating on the glass, etc. I think the new outfit has more potential for more interesting shows, but the format could be lazily produced to just be Istripper with a dildo.

Of course, as with most things, this will be a business decision. And, if you find that diluting the XXX cards, or eliminating them altogether will make more in sales and profits, keep exisiting customers, and still gain new customers, then that is what you should do.

1. Are you losing or gaining customers and overall sales and profits as you release XXX shows? You gained me as a customer because of the XXX shows. And, if I like a girl, I am likely to buy her other cards, too, because I like to collect. Many of your customers are collectors. But, if you lose two customers who buy more cards even though you gained me who might buy less, then you should just drop XXX altogether.

2. Does the incremental sales and profit increases from the XXX shows exceed the incremental sales and profit increases from the XXX lite shows? Or from the regular full nudity striptease shows? If you are gaining XXX customers and sales without losing Stripper customers and sales, you should be making more money.

3. Does the marginal revenue from XXX shows exceed the marginal costs, and does the total profit (number of sales time the MR - MC) add more to the bottom line than if the same effort and costs were applied to the XXX lite? Or applied to the regular full nudity striptease shows? It would seem, with your overhead already covered by your standard striptease productions, that your marginal costs should decrease, and your marginal profits should increase.

@Katz : I'm mad about Mikki, what a goddess 💖😍
Gloria, amazing curves 😍

Katy Jones, sexy and legs and one boob out bonus 😊

Gloria 💋💖

With regards to XXX duo cards. I would be happy to see the occasional duo card both for XXX cards, and indeed for non-XXX cards, but would not like for them to become the norm as they once were for DeskBabes.

If duo cards were occasional specials then I would be happy to pay a somewhat higher price than that for solo performances, but not as much as the double or more that @WyldAnimal has suggested. Although the girls fees, hotel room charges and things like make up time would be doubled the rest of the cost in producing the card would, I imagine, remain pretty much the same as for a solo card, as would all other overheads such as office rental, staff salaries etc. all of which have to be taken into account when deciding prices.

I agree with @Paintsnudes about Alina's body, she has all I love in a woman and I'm sure that her ass is great too 😉

HTH,😊

I have not used virtual girls in a few years and now it is called i-stripper.
My problem is that when I installed the new version all my girls are now greyed out. I moved the models that i backed up into the proper folder but they are still all greyed out. I now have a very slow broadband connection and it would take forever to download them all again.

Does anyone know why they are not showing as they should?

@Rex. Do that is joke? New version is out?!?
Look at picture. Any card?! Do New Forum only and all other disappeared posts, friends?
Letters are bigger – easer to read OK. This WARNING - again again .... again
Do previous version will work?!?

***Red Alert! *****!!***
I just have visited some Porn websites and It didn't gave me the same experience at all that I had by 'Deskbabes'. Aswell it is very anoiying the websites disappear instantly when I go back to my game I actually playing. iStripper have as funtion to overrule all software. but a whole page of porn and play a sex movie / picture slideshow..fills my screen completly.

What would you customers suggest me, else? how can I answer my desires among the Porn websites if Totem Entertainment stops with their XXX Content I used to watch? Really, honest question 😎.

@Ironman79, I love legs and ass, and this girl has great gams and tush! Best of all she is a great performer, she can dance, and has some fine pole moves and tricks. She has good eye contact, smile and seems to enjoy what she is doing. She is already a favorite of mine!

O...M...G...

Mikki is an absolute Goddess!!! 😍

and now I'm feeling "evil" 😈

@cncbehrends29 ...You know me, I love to talk and make my opinion heard lol.

Duo cards. I'm sad to see them go. I'm sure it costs twice as much and you sell them for the same price so I get it. If I were you though, I would pair girls with high ratings and sell for a little more than a duo.

There are a lot of girls on this site that I would pay a double price to see together in an XXX card. Mia Malkova and Nekane/Ria Rodriguez/Carolina Abril/Lexi Belle/Valentina Nappi/Vanessa Mio... you get the idea. Quality girls, not just randomly pairing girls that are available like you've done in the past.

Ok, now I'm really done. Peace out :)

YES! Exactly!
Bring back DUO cards that are CAST as a DUO with Girls that Have some Chemistry together.
random Paring of two girls does not make for a good show. It's *****, and uncomfortable..

Find two Girls or even a Trio, that really want to work together, Cast them Just for the Duo or Trio card.
Interview them, find out Who they WANT to do a Show with.. Then get them into the studio...
( sure while they are at the studio you can also make Solo's )

But they need to really be into one another for the Show to be Good.

Then Up the Price, as these are Special Cards.
Charge 4X the normal Price.

Use the New format, a few hot tease clips, with some Longer ( with Sound ) full on to Orgasm clips.
Let the Girls decide what Toys if any they want to use..
Maybe one want to wear a Strap-on
or Maybe it's just all Fingers and Mouths
Letting the Girls come up with the performance will make it more natural .

The Production Team can assist by deciding if it can be Filmed and caught on Camera.
Or If it would be two Obscured to see the action...

Also, that Table / Platform needs a thin Foam Cushion ( maybe two or three layers of Sub Flooring underlayment cushion, and maybe to be a Bit Wider. Sometimes it looked Like they Didn't have enough room to put their hands and feet.

With the added Cushion, the Camera angle might need to be adjusted.
with the camera Height just a hint Higher using a very slight down angle.
A bit of experimentation, test videos would be needed.

Her show is NICE! Amazing body with an ass that doesn't disappoint 😉

Melisa one boob out a sexy photo here of her.

I have to show Gloria Sexy legs again. ❤️

***Deskbaes***
'DeskBabes becomes iStripper, New Interface, New features and Sexier than ever!' ... <Emotional Moment 😢> ... very good and naughty memories.

Awesome! that sexual pictures of the website DeskBabes.com still exist. These girls are, so hot!! 😍 even the website turns me on !! haha

Estonika 💋

Without going to porn I think it is reasonable to keep a noticeable difference between the clips iStripper and those XXX.
There are a considerable number of clips for those who only desire very soft erotica.

For my part, and it is an old debate, my wish will be towards the return of the duos.

I just checked out Mikki's demo...

Her pics show her with a nice tan but that;s not the case.

How is her show? I'm really on the fence about her.
