Not that this question was addressed to me, but I figure I should get in here as well.

I think part of what I enjoy about videos in the "lost a bet" and "dare" genre is that, usually on some level at least, there's some kind of reluctance or hesitance on the part of the girl to strip (although, some of that I think is often just theatrics more than anything else) and yet, there's also some desire to expose herself as well. I think it's that tension between modesty and exhibitionism that I find sexy about these kinds of videos.

That said, there really isn't any of that erotic tension in this video, as far as I can tell. The girl, while certainly nice to look at, doesn't seem to be very conflicted about what she's doing. And, at least from my perspective, she seems to do it rather mechanically. I think when others have commented that it seems like "just another cam video" this is what they're referring to; that she appears to just be going through the motions rather than really having the experience of following through on a dare. This isn't helped by the fact that she keeps glancing off camera for the whole video and while I'm sure it's because she's watching her movements either in a mirror or on a computer screen, it just makes her look distracted and disinterested, like she gets naked on camera all the time. So, the erotic tension I would normally expect from a dare video just isn't there.

So, what's wrong if there's no erotic tension, we still like girls with exhibitionist tendencies, don't we? Sure we do. But, this doesn't really feel like a webcam exhibitionist video either, primarily because it feels very calculated to expose just the parts that she wants to expose. I think we've all seen enough cam vids now to know that it is indeed possible to get your whole body in the frame without having objects conveniently blocking certain portions of your anatomy. So, the position of the camera and the fact that her movements do seem (to me at least) to be very planned out to keep her pussy out of the shot detracts from the exhibitionist value of the video.

Does the lack of full frontal nudity ruin it? Not really. I mean, I would prefer full frontal nudity since she was "dared to strip naked" but, it's not the lack of nudity itself that bothers me. It's a bit difficult to verbalize, but, if, for example, she had stripped but kept her hand over her pussy, or held some kind of object in front of it (pillow, stuffed animal, towel, whatever) I wouldn't have minded because that because 1) that seems more honest to me, and 2) it demonstrates that she's actually emotionally involved in the dare because she's reacting to her exposure. But, playing with the angle of the camera and choreographing your movements strikes me as more of a tease than anything else - not a tease in the sense that we don't see any skin - it just feels scripted when what I want to see is her reaction to everything.

In short, the lack of tension and spontaneity just don't make it a very good "dare" video, in my opinion, or a very good webcam exhibitionist video either; it's just another average cam video that happens to have an interesting back-story.

It's not a bad video by any means and I definitely clicked the "thanks" button without hesitation when you posted in the Free Sites section and when you posted it here. I just didn't comment because I didn't have anything particularly positive to say about the video itself.

I am glad you posted it though, because it is a dare video and I like seeing girls doing naked dares, even if they don't turn out exactly like I would want them to. So, it's not a situation of "thanks, but no thanks" by any means. It's more like getting a tie as a gift. Did I need another tie? Not really. But will I wear it? Sure.
