In any case a key part of such a book would be how to get the models comfortable and in the mood. This is one thing that you can see lacking in alot of content, the models appear bored or just plain not into the scene which does do alot for the porn factor.
Yes, so many trolls who have never shot a set, telling a guy who shot and sold 3,000, to markets none of them would get pass the receptionist, that he's clueless.

Guess that's the state of the Internet. Failures bolstering each other egos.

I'm being trolled by a guy we all know lives in a dump and thinks looking like a drunk idiot is cool marketing.

Will be covered and samples offered.

Spot on. Guys who talk about shooters being shooter to get laid are stupid. We can get laid without having to spend $500-$1,000 on a days work.

No you learned it. And by learning it you may choose to keep it to yourself or in the case of a how to book impart that wisdom to others. Obviously a book only goes so far, practical experience is a must but regardless pointers in model psychology can be taught.
It was something I inherited from my Father. Honed the skills while I was a teenager. By the time I was 27, in 1977, I had it down pat.

Of course learned to hone the skills and will give guidelines for people to spot the different characters, moods and how to deal with them.
