I totally agree with you on attractive clothing that suits that particular model at the time always works for me. I think i have mentioned before the Nudity stuff does nothing for me and one of the reasons your in safe hands say with Jasmine' Though i totally understand Nudity will still always be popular whatever but perhaps those videos involving full Nudity could be made available separately.davidnorth wrote: Tue May 12, 2026 8:53 pmThanks for the list. It correlates fairly well with sales. Most people want to see rope bondage rather than handcuffs. My handcuffs store on C4S gets about 10% of the traffic of the Beauties in Bondage store. I keep it going for those who want it, but it isn't really worthwhile.adivie wrote: Tue May 12, 2026 5:53 pm I find from the X feed that some videos respond better than others. It is not so much that people prefer the old content over new content. Some aspects just seem to resonate with the DiD Bondage crowd!
For instance, Jasmine showing her bare midriff in "Held Captive" has seen popular responses. Meanwhile, the "Jasmine in Handcuffs, Vol 1" was not so responsive with X respondents. That said, what I have here is only from my X postings:

The Vonka/Lee video sold badly. My guess is that most people want a DiD-style video rather than a playful one. It was also too long.
Jasmine's videos used to sell a lot better (3-4 times better) when she was working with Rick because you had the damsel and the bad guy on screen together, similar in age, interacting/fighting/tormenting, etc. It was an ideal combination. And no, they can't work together again. Most of the time it's just me playing the role now, and that no longer works well. For me personally, it's better to film Bound2Burst content which doesn't usually need me on camera, or if I am visible it's only in a brief, peripheral role. Mostly, I am the disembodied voice. A recent desperation video I made with Jasmine just beat the all time record for sales of a single-model movie in its first month, so the format still works there. Bondage work is much harder and sells far less, so I tend to shy away from it a bit these days. I have no more bad guys to call on, alas.
Mostly, the models are dressed according to what the buyer wants when it's a custom project. That usually involves less clothing, or none at all. Now, this is just me because I'm old and a bit prudish I suppose, but I just want to dress the girls in attractive clothes that suit them, and which are also age appropriate. I cringe when someone asks for an older model to wear next to nothing; to me, it just looks cheap. I also feel that, with bondage, a smartly dressed woman has more at stake if she is kidnapped, rather than someone dressed like they belong on a street corner. It doesn't carry the same weight. So, yeah, I lean more towards "classic" bondage. The top 20 on C4S in the bondage category is all nudity or skirt hems right up the arse, and often includes sex now. It doesn't interest me in the slightest, and I almost never buy anyone else's work.
