Babestation - General Chat & Discussion

I've said some of this in previous posts, but to save time, I'm not looking for and linking them, for now..

The OFCOM regulatory regime that BS et al have to work within, and the renewed, international, porn panic of recent years, as discussed by me and others on the forum, which has been pushed not only by the usual suspects, certainly constrains them.
However, I wouldn't agree with any cyclical historical narrative, as understandably tempting to which it might be to succumb.
For instance, whilst some might complain about wider, general 'pornifiication' and 'sexualisation', I doubt the Hays Code is likely to be reintroduced in Hollywood, or adapted and adopted elsewhere in the Euro-American world.

One alternative historical trajectory to which I referred previously, was offered by a series shown on Channel 4, over twenty years ago, Pornography: Secret History of Civilisation, and its associated book.
Albeit, still limited in its broad and mechanistic explanation.

As I've suggested from probably my earliest forum posts, the conditions that supported the babe channel format, both within specific sexwork terms, and wider economics, culture, and media, have been receding, for a number of years.
One of the differences between porn and associated sex work, in Britain, and in USA, as written about by various people over time, including Jerry Barnett, author of 'Porn Panic', also on his YouTube channel, and formerly a senior adult industry figure in Britain, is that there's little, sustained, and coordinated campaigning against censorship in its diverse forms.
Indeed, it seems that companies have been more likely to report each other to the pertinent authorities, than join forces to resist the tentacles of censors.
Any concerted resistance is provided by individual sex workers joining together, which obviously means it doesn't have anything like the resources of campaigns in USA, where it's backed up by the wider industry, and the protection of the national constitution.

Any long-term future for BS and Xpanded will be online, and without the tv 'shop window' infomercials, they'll have to compete alongside companies and websites that have established themselves without them.
Albeit, as I've said in a number of posts about Xpanded, one of which I've linked in a post in recent days, going back to an inadvertently candid response from a moderator, on its own, defunct forum, before I was banned, the online side seems to have been the overriding priority for Xpanded, as further evidenced by various characteristics over the years, up to the development of SoSpoilt.

In its own, ultimately disastrous way, Studio 66 had some of the vision of the online future, including with its association with Sixty6 magazine. Although as I've said, if it had happened several years before, during the peak years of the babe channels, and in association with the other channels, it could have helped to firmly establish the brands in the wider culture.

All this diversification, including BS merchandising, are all catching up with things that should have been tried several years earlier.
Against other established websites, and individuals with fan sites that are outstandingly successful in their own right, it will be tough times ahead.

Review reiterating (re)post (4/_)

Addendum: There's more I could say about this, notwithstanding the Blaise Pascal reference, but we're in 'different times' (the way that expression is used almost as a mantra irks me, as it's often a way of asserting that "you can't say/do that(anymore)", without arguing why).

When people are often criticised for "kink-shaming", it's not simply a time of Whitehouse types' campaigning against anything remotely porn.
To try to put it all too briefly, the principle (addenda: as distinct from practice) of having a free market in virtually everything, alongside that of identities' needing recognition in the market, is in tension with trying to maintain some shared ethos, against the atomisation resulting from extensive and intensive marketisation.
I will certainly return to this, elsewhere, and maybe here, too.

They have fans who love it.

I'm sure there are enough non hairy babes to satisfy you in the calendar.

I've said this as well when this person said that before about babes with body hair, there are plenty of people who love women with body hair. Babestation have to make money most importantly & therefore have to cater to all tastes, so have babes with body hair on their various shows.

It's called BABE station, not NICHE station. Are you saying that there's a big audience out there that likes a split second flash of a hairy pit over a 4 hour TV slot? And they will keep hairstation going ?!

Ffs, I very much doubt Babestation are dictating a certain portion of babes have to have hair.

The girls are just doing their own thing.
If they think it's impacting their earnings, they'll shave it off. If not, they won't.

I'm turned-off by women who try to remove almost all body hair, and like some women with it on armpits and forearms, and pubic hair. https://twitter.com/seducedx6/status/143...1432759299
However, whilst I doubt BS has explicit policies pertaining to hair, I have previously lamented, over a number of years, that BS and others might more actively discourage women baring soft bellies.
Nonetheless, it would be odd, if to some degree Babestation et al wasn't "niche station", thereby including a variety of different body types, and so on.

Worst technical issues I’ve know for a few years today. 3 Pervcam attempted sessions aborted due to screen freezing. I know Danni Levy had expressly asked if the set she was on from 10.30 was working correctly but despite being assured it was the camera froze twice. She then moved sets only for it to happen again.

The Mr P on duty in London was noticeably absent from any interventions and even deleted 2 of my chatbox complaints whilst still encouraging guys to use Pervcam when he knew it was not working.

I’ve said my piece in a complaint to BS and no doubt I’ll get my lost credits back but who knows when as I doubt Customer Services is fully staffed until next week. I won’t be spending with them until I’m recompensed.

I wasn’t the only regular who was impacted.

The camera man on Bella baby stream is ruining her show just keep the camera still or let her control it with the controller.

I like how Beth and Brooks have colour coordinated their outfits tonight Now get them on to a set together to unleash some sexy mayhem

They gotta do the spiderman meme !!

Would be intrigued to know which babe(s) have made the most appearances, certainly on TV, over the course of the year.

Can’t help but feel we are force fed a small selection of babes who favourably get TV stints considerably more often than not, and therefore get a lot more exposure.


Beth, Preeti, Alice to name a few. Hope BS liven it up a bit more next year.

In the case of Beth that level of airtime has been thoroughly merited because of her mentality towards the shows.
An object lesson to others as to how to conduct oneself culminating in winning the most significant award of them all in 2023.

Other babes that have had similar airtime have largely wasted it because of a preoccupation with the process driven elements of the Babestation shows rather than a willingness to put on a show for the television viewers.

Those that use the airtime with honesty of endeavour deserve the airtime.
Unfortunately they are in a minority and I don't see that changing any time soon.

The only thing that will change it is MONEY. If girls are on a lot it’s because they earn BS a lot.

^ I agree with that completely SA.
It's just that I feel Beth sets about doing it in a better way than most .
