Took me a few minutes to correct this one in PS. Still not right, the original image is too wrong.
Your problem is lighting. Something after 10 years you should of nailed. Reflected light, depth of field and "flat" images. That means lack of depth.
You need to stick your key lights as high as possible. So the light bouncing off the white back wall isn't going into the lens and giving you an out of focus image. What are you using to diffuse the lights? I would use a bowl, this is a fitting that looks like a big bowl with the light going into a smaller bowl. Like this.
Have 2 lights in front of the models, positioned in the corners of the room.
Have a back light to separate them from the wall. Balance all lights for an even lighting, this way it's not "Glam" lighting. There are no highlights. The viewer doesn't notice the lighting.
Shoot with the lights powerful enough to set the camera at F11 to F13. It's safest now with digital to go a 1/3 stop under. NEVER over expose. A picture can be lightened. Bastard to make it darker.
Buy a white or grey board to get the yellow tint out of your pictures. It's not your style as it's not in other pics on the tour.
But a light meter to read the light coming off the lights, if for no other reason than it looks impressive to models as you get the lighting set perfectly. Even if you don't have a clue, it looks good.
If you need a good set of lights, I'm selling ours. Don't see me coming back unless Manwin want an old invalid shooter.
Posing and framing on these shots isn't bad, not good though. A few elementary mistakes that after 10 years you should of cleaned up on.
Models seem a bit posed, but this can happen. DON"T stop and start them while shooting BG or GG. They're fucking each other and you need them getting into each other more and more. The video is next and by then you want them hot.
To judge the whole set, I would need to see the whole set. To judge the video I would need to see the video.
One more small point. When you shoot the "girl sucking a dick, vibrator, lollipop, pussy shot and looking at you. Shes teasing the fuck out of you making you think your cock is next. That's porn.
I did it with words, saying things like "Imagine it's me" "Make me wish it were me." and other stuff. That's how you get this shot.

or
you don't get that with your "Hands off approach." Not talking hands, just the attitude. You need to build up a girls trust that when you say things that need to be said to get her reaction. She knows you're teasing. The last thing I could do is not do up her bra strap and then say what I say to get the shots I needed.
