BabestationX - the webshow

I think the issue was that some girls received negative reviews and deserved them because they went on bsx and wouldn't do more than topless and bum, I can think of Madison, Tiffany, and Charlie (at that time) to name but three, and a lot were complaining that they need to be at least nude level to be on BSX, which seems fair and logical. but there wer a few that wanted the full leg spreads and fingers every time. Personally I think that would have been nice but as long as they were nude, then I was happy, but it was getting a bit much.
And then BSX tried bringing in adult and pornstars and making it harder, which for me, ruined it, and ultimately, in my own opinion, helped to kill the channel completely.
If they went back a stage, and cleaned up the image a bit, dump the hardcore crap onto sexstation and tried to be a 'cleaner' site, then maybe they'd get the girls back?

but that's just my thoughts

Beg to differ but I want to see the same level of hardcore that we got when the channel first went on air. Preeti lying on her back doing very little for 3 hours really insn't that exciting anymore. Elicia set the standard on her show a couple of months back and that is the level a lot of now ex viewers aspire to.

Well I am way behind the curve on this, but here are a few thoughts.

Are BabestationX throwing in the towel by going web only, or being very astute? Its not that long ago that the idea you could run a major retail operation web seemed laughable. A niche retailer for nerds perhaps. Today Amazon and iTunes are among the largest operators going, and most people buy physical books and game DVDs on the web with VAT free delivery from Jersey courtesy of British governments that dont seem phased by the loss of jobs and tax. Meanwhile Dixons and HMV went bust. They had web presences but were outclassed by doing too little too late.

So its a smart move to become a web operation? Er, no. I cant think of a single business that successfully ditched its older delivery methods in favour of web only. New start ups, yes, established businesses, no.

Web BSX become the go to name for web porn? Just as Amazon, Apple and Google are the default for other stuff? No. They have sod all free content, cant advertise on TV and are up against a mass of free hardcore.

"At least its completely unrestricted". Again, no. ATVOD means Ofcom gets their hands on it, albeit in a dilute form. They already say you must use register using a credit card - not a debit card because under 18s have those - and actually part with cash to prove age. There are plans to limit UK web services to R18 strength even if perfectly legal in the entire rest of the EU. Goodbye squirting and fisting when they bring that in. If the BBFC has a change of heart it could even mean compulsory condoms or no more group sex. The BBFC already technically bans material that is (arguably) illegal to produce - public nudity, public sex, treating it as potentially criminal, so no more dogging, flashing or beach sex unless clearly staged.

Give it a year, and they will gradually lower the bar, a bit at a time, so only a few people are hacked off at the same time.

OK, there are loopholes, including payment by SMS, but give it time.

Don't know about you, but I don't want payments to porn merchants appearing on my bank statement, however discreet, and I don't want that flagged up if I ever apply for a job with criminal record checks.

Anyone remember the episode of Alan Partridge set in the Linton Travel Lodge where he queries and item his bill, asking the delectable Sally Phillips what "sundries" were, and she tells him it was for subscription porn, what he watched (Thai Ladyboys) and how long he watched (15 minutes)? Both your bank and your ISP will store more information about you than you might be comfortable sharing.

Don't kid yourselves, the likes of the News Of The World will be able to access that when you with the lottery/XFactor/inherit a million/marry a Royal/criticise someone famous.

"At least there a regular live shows". Are there? Looking back there seem to be quite a few cancellations and how often are they at best? One a week? The website doesn't even have a schedule. The information might be on some blog somewhere, but WTF should I have to search for it? What if I shell out, open the hobnobs, and find I dont like babe? What if it turns out the live show is on when I have company?

At least Sport and TVX managed to run live shows 7 nights a week for what, 90 minutes each? Until gone midnight?

"The shows feature ordinary Babestation presenters". That's both a strength and a weakness. We all like the girl next door look. Achievable, at least in our dreams, perhaps if she has had a few and is on the rebound, with a chance of more dates once she has got to know us, and not looking like some slapper who will be doing double anal with complete strangers round the back of the bus station tomorrow.

BUT as everyone has pointed out, models who have the brains to follow Ofcom rules and are happy to work softcore channels, doing nothing harder than talking dirty, tend not to be into a solid hour of publically using a giant dildo or giving cunilingus to a relative stranger, particularly if the other presenter has a reputation for being "difficult" and they had an all out screaming match about who was contributing more prior to the show.

There is a divide between old style presenters who have fewer qualms about being more physical, and todays ones who are comfortable with todays boundaries. Few work well in both environments.

So, no advertising, rare live content that is sometimes cancelled, tighter restrictions on the way, on the record registration and lots of free competition. Not a good combination, and possibly a short lived final gasp. Pity.

personally I found the last 2 posts summed everything up beautifully.for me a station would not have to be full on hard to the level of penetration and oral to gain my support.obviously theres lots of that around free anyway on the web.iv just seen the full 15 min hard version of ms solis and Antonio for free.people fully understand that level of stuff has to be web only.im with the previous posters.im not going to pay then phone to see girls lying about doing nothing for 3 hours.give people like me regular live shows with a bit more interest and variety and we will pay up.i thought the last poster made lots of valid points.im also uneasy about this registration and storage of information stuff.thanks to everyone who makes the effort to post.

well maybe that level just doesn't work and you chaps need to look elsewhere?
they clearly tried to offer what you wanted and it clearly didn't work, so maybe they need to offer what will work, and if that's not to your liking, then...
its market forces, what makes enough will work, and what doesn't work, wont make enough, and will fail. Only time will tell.

This is just my opinion, like it or not. BSX will do what is best for BSX.

we all have the option or stay or leave.

I understand it will be on two nights a week from now on i.e Thursday and Friday instead of Friday and Saturday.
Priya is doing the Friday show this week. No decision about tomorrow yet .

IF there's a Wednesday night sexstation show aswell as the Saturday sexstation show, then that gives four days in a row, to use the 48hour trial access with.
seems a better way of doing it

Channels that keep the best stuff for Friday/Saturday are up against two problems. Single men who go out Friday/Saturday, and men in relationships whose partners expect them to be up for it Sat and Sun morning and notice a certain, ahem, lack of enthusiasm. That narrows the market considerably.

Good call Eccles.

Tonight's show is Elicia Solis apparently. Could be a watershed moment. If she repeats her last performance then a lot of people will be happy that bsx has the full range of shows available. If not, then people will conclude the web shows are not as unrestricted as we are led to believe and will vote with their wallets.
