I will vote for yes if wll be more duo with girls like:
Anissa Kate,
Viola,
Tracy Smile,
Lucy Li

@capella, tu trouve les duos deskbabes trop soft à ton goût ?
Tu dois être un sacré pervert parce que pour ma part je les trouve hot comme il faut même un peu trop à mon goût.

PS: j'ai voté "non" préférant plus Virtuagirl que Deskbabes.
Et si j'achète des cartes Deskbabes (la plupart du temps), c'est pour les compléter avec celles existantes de VG.
Excepté pour les cartes 1080p que je n'ai pas pour clore la série (et ma collection) dans cette résolution.

Comme Amelly j'ai une forte préférence pour les cartes VG alors je vote "non", si le prix des duos augmentent j'en prendrais moins et privilégirais les cartes solo.

Yes, I'd pay more for Duos I want to purchase. It is unreasonable to expect Totem to sell the cards at a loss.

I like Duo cards but will only buy them if I like the girls, they seem to have chemistry between them and appear to be enjoying it.

Like others who have voiced their opinions, I have missed the DB duo cards recently particularly when there are multiple solo cards of the same girl. They just become repetitive. So far I have purchased every 3K card (DB and VG) but unless the duo DB cards start to make a comeback soon, I may reconsider this. I have no objection to paying extra for duo cards and I will buy if the girls are ones that appeal to me. So far the quality of the girls, in the all of the 3K cards to date, has been excellent.

I seem to recollect that some years ago DB cards were more expensive than VG cards.

I voted no to the poll question.

When DB first started I believe the solos were 2 credits & the duos were 3. I thought this was reasonable. Double is a little excessive in my opinion. I also will not buy (with rare exceptions) more than one solo card of each girl. I have no interest in seeing the same girl(s) over and over again week after week ala Tracy Smith.

As far as the duos go, yes I would pay more but I think that double is excessive. I would pay it if the girls were great like Viola and Merry Pie but otherwise I think 5 credits is enough. I also prefer solos but a duo every now & again is a nice change. I just don't want to see more than 1 card from each girl.

The four girls on one card (Sex on the Beach) was a great idea and I bought it for the novelty even though I have no particular interest in any of the girls on the card.

Of topic but another thing that really annoys me is that the new girls don't always show up on the carosel (sp?) so I don't get a demo of them. That way the only thing I have to go to make my purchase decision is the rating and the comments. Neither of which is a particularly good indicator of my enjoyment of the card. Without fail I should see a demo of the new girls each week before I have to make a buying decision.

I may be willing to pay more for duo card, if i like both girls, and they offer a good show...but not twice as much. And if that happen, i will really wait about comments to see the value of the performance.

Right now, it's 3 credits for all cards (2.40 the first week) without our member rebate, most buyers would still be buying them if you ask 3.5 credit for duo (2.8 first week). At 4 (3.2 first week), many would really think before buying, and you would lose more money. At 5 and more, forget it, only dedicate collector would buy most, and not me.

Maybe it's time to consider duo, trio, or quatuor card as...exception, rare thing.
If they don't happen often, and feature good performers, maybe we will be willing to pay more...to collect the rare thing.

And about Virtuagirl, and Deskbabes difference.
It's negligeable now.
Virtuagirl should be about Striptease, with sensual girl doing a show.
Deskbabes is more...sexual. (and it's what they do)
Many new Virtuagirl wear bikini, or really tiny outfit, lingerie.
No place for imagination, there is not much to strip, we see it all.
They act like...a Deskbabe show, with a little less sexuality.
Maybe they should wear more clothes...at the beginning of the show?
It's suppose to be "striptease on your desktop", isn't it?

The duo's on DB are to hardcore for me. They are more like XXX pornos than stripteases. I buy them if I like both girls. But usually I only like one of them, even the single DB can realy be more of a short porno. I liked the old VG duos. I wish you would make some more of those.

randyur, thats kinda the point of DB. VG is simple strip teases and DB is porn.

Is there any further news on the duo front totem? It's been quite a while since this post was created and we're still seeing nothing but solo cards coming out (which I'm quite enjoying, but I'd still like to see the return of the duos).

In my opinion you could do duos, that one day two girls making only 2 duos (f.e. see 2 duos with Belle Claire & Aika May, or Eve Angel & Monica Sweet) - when these girls knit (f.e. these are friends, or make some films together) the work will go quickly...
P.s.: In the same way it can be made up to some trio too...

Trick question. If the girls do standing clips again, then yes. If it's all sitting clips, then no.

By not having standing clips we are missing out on a dimension of the performance. When standing we get to see the girl's whole body.

Standing is less important in solo clips. But it may be nice to see the stand at the beginning so we can see what we are going to get.

so the response is simple. If I am to pay more for duo clips, androgen the girls must do more.

Now that I have my super fast broadband working and I can download reasonably quickly, I have bought some tickets and am thinking about what to buy.

i have been looking at the duos and I have come to the conclusion that I love them. However, what I really like about the duos is the liplick lesbian element of the shows. I really like when they frolick around fully clothed, or almost fully clothed, kissing and fondling each other. It really provides some good voyeristic entertainment, especially for a panties and stocking lover like myself. So I often set the duos to No Nudity and topless and just watch them fondle each other.

In fact, I think DB is the best lipstick lesbian provider that I know. They are short sweet and provide great voyeristic opportunities.

I also like the X-rated stuff, don't get me wrong. But it's the non-heavy scenes that really make these cards for me. Indeed, I find that DB is not as good as regular porn for the hard core stuff, because the angles are often all wrong, there is a lack of close ups and there us often a lack of real oral sex.

This brings me to three observations:

1) More recent cards often don't have any No Nudity or Topless clips, except for the trailers. That is a shame because the way I use duo DB cards depends on these clips.

2) The standing clips of the earlier cards are really good for lipstick lesbian scenes.

3) The cards I like the most, the girls start off wearing conventional clothing. I love seeing them feel each other up while fully clothed or lift up each other's skirts.

So so would I pay double for a DB card. Yes, I would, provided there were a couple of No Nudity and Topless scenes in the cards for us lipstick lesbian lovers. Also, it would be good if you brought back standing clips, even if it is only for the No Nudity and Topless clips.

I realise that there will probably not be any more duo DB cards which is a shame. But if you do bring them back, I would pay more especially if the considerations above were taken into account.

Solo > duo. Duo cards require both girls too fit your tastes

I would certainly pay twice for a DB card - the thing is, a Deskbabes card is a much more discriminating purchase than a VG one. The VG one is just having to like a stripper's performance. With DB, it's a lot more factors involved including voice, how much she's in to it - and that's doubly a issue with Duos.

I'd say charge twice as much for them, and make sure to hire talent who perhaps has worked together before and has good chemistry together. That'd be my two cents.

I agree.. I think a good DeskBabes DUO card is worth twice the price...
Good Sound and Good Chemistry and they are in to it...

I'll add my 2 cents too. I have around 50 DB cards. I prefer VG style on most occasions but the odd DB card works too sometimes.

I once or twice stated that DB and particularly Duo cards left me feeling deflated. They nearly all seem to be ... Wooden, ***** up or whatever you want to call it.

NOW tho, the latest batch of DB cards have got me into them again. Particularly, Nekane, Natalia and one or two others, mainly Spanish ;)

Let's see what pops up :)

I voted for yes, but it always depends on the girls ...
There is one thing I don't understand. Why do you invite one girl after another instead bringing 4 girls to paris. Yes this would be expensive, but you could do all the solo and duo shows all together. Maybe you should invest in another shooting stage, if you haven't already.
You can mix the pairs, so you get a lot of shows out of this. I don't see the problem here ...

I think the concept of Deskbabes is cute but out of date.
It will be labelled in the iStripper version as Extreme or XXX, but is it ?
A mild transition to penetrative sex from iStripper 'VGstyle' might appeal to current members however it is a bit like a raking of old gravel marketwise.
New users may have a look but I think they will invariably revert back to other websites.
Instead of Deskbabes current style, how about focussing on good orgasm clips only, and in its current form elsewhere that means closeup taskbar immersive porn. Elbows under knees or legs tucked behind head & the corresponding journey works a charm token wise. Its one model and intimate, it has a purpose, a conclusion and its worth collecting. Just my 2 cents.

If the iS program could be configured to accumulate mousclicks on a token sprite..maybe peeps could build up credit thresholds live to view omybod fireworks clips etc.

I agree with you guys.

I think it is important for the chemistry, mutual trust. This mainly happens when girls are experienced with people who know each other, they speak same language (f.e. it dosen't matter if Czech, Hungarian, Spanish, if be in chemistry), included in the movie is already common, they know what's good for others, they know where and how reach, if they perhaps even friends too ...

There is, for example Aliz & ***** Cat; Aliz & Antonia; Eve Angel & Monica Sweet, Lola & Bailey duos and more. You can feel the passion of these chemicals on the show. But it could list good examples. If the new dous such passionate, if these full of ideas, I think the Members will be spend slightly more for these shows and me too.

Another thing: @Hombre
You're right, now many fiery Spanish girl were among the new models. I would like to take this opportunity Nekane, Alexa, if when returning to Lorena, or others, hmmm .... what duos or trios to come out with them ...

Problem with duos is with the audience maybe more than the models.
For the viewer ~ girls getting absorbed with each other can make viewer feel left out.
Maybe good for voyeurs more than general population methinks.
This is why I voted no, not because of Art/Chemistry as such..(which I adore) butmore because to satisfy market for solo POV orgasm & future Totem income. When market changes, can go back to expensive duos.

Why should Totem spend so much money in their XXX section just so peeps can warm-up then go spend money elsewhere to cum together with a fantasy lady..doesn't make sense to me. Keep them here I say . I would pay double for double the amount of clips and only one card per model.

A bit of a premium for duos seems reasonable (I think 3 credits seems much more reasonable than 4 though) but if it is costing more than twice as much to make the cards it seems like inefficiency on your part since you can presumably film solo and duo cards during the same time period. It seems like you could figure out a system to make some occasional duo cards without significantly driving up costs. One option would be to just keep doing solos mainly but overlap girls by one day to do a few duo cards together. So fly in girl 1, film solos for 2 days and then fly in girl 2 and film duos for one day then send girl 1 home and film for 2 more days with girl 2. Then you just pay for one extra hotel night for each girl and one extra day of studio time but you get 3 duo cards from the extra day and still get 6 solo cards for each. With this method it would seem that the duo cards might actually cost less to produce since you aren't paying for any extra plane tickets but get 3 more cards done. I'd only bother with duos for the best of the best though, as if I don't like one of the two girls I won't bother to buy it. Mostly solos are fine but it would be nice to get the occasional duo mixed in as some of those cards have been among my favorites.

Current solo card costs as you said were 1 plane ticket, 2 hotel nights, 2 days of girl fees, 1 taxi, and 2 days studio time for 6 cards.

With the duo scheme I laid out it would be 2 plane tickets, 6 hotel nights, 6 days of girl fees, 2 taxis, and 5 days of studio time for 12 solo and 3 duo cards. So the 3 duo cards would cost you 2 hotel nights, 2 days of girl fees, and 1 day of studio time.
