If I had saved all the money I spent on drinks and lapdances on those treks I could own a house right now! And if a new model from out of town did answer one of my ads in a newspaper or something like that, and I wanted to know what they looked like in advance of hiring them, I had to convince them to borrow a Polaroid camera from a friend, get them to take some shitty pics, and explain to them what Fedex was (most girls had no clue) and where to go in their local town and use my company's Fedex number to send me the pics or snail mail me.

Now, it's a generation later, and with the ubiquity of porn everywhere, role models like Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, Jenna Jameson and Girls Gone Wild advertising training them that porn is cool, it's like fishing in a barrel by comparison. And with the ease and instantaneous nature of modern communication with email, the internet, web sites, search engines, awareness of popular porn brands and the proliferation of social networking sites, it's way easier to actually see, communicate with and recruit a model if she does express an interest.

As far as your guy's contention that the fact that they know that their images are going to be everywhere and people that they know are likely going to see them online is holding models back or giving them second thoughts about doing nude modeling or porn, I am not finding that to be the case at all and I mostly shoot brand new faces. It's true that I know a lot of new models whose families found out they did porn as little as a week later after their images and videos were posted online, but this all happens after the fact and causes them hassles after the shoots are already done. It's generally not stopping models from doing the shoots in the first place in my experience. Many of the new girls I speak to acknowledge that their friends & family are probably going to see them online and they just deal with it when it happens.
