At one time, there was a plethora of beautiful models who did the tour route form LA, to NYC, to Miami. It was fairly easy to arrange for a model to travel from NYC to, upstate NY or Providence, RI to film. That somewhat dried up and, a few of the great agents in NYC left the business. Moving to South Florida, was amazing ....like a kid in a candy shop. The talent was beautiful, plentiful and, if you rented a location in in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area, you had your pick. Everyone exchanged STD tests but, no one really cared about what they were shooting that day. Questions weren't asked about whether talent had shot gay porn and, all of the ladies were happy to be introduced to FemDom. It was just fun back then. If a model was having an issue, which was rare, there was a replacement around the corner. The male talent was easier to find too. "Hey, do you mind if we tie you up, whip you and, then jerk you off? Can you give us two pop shots?" They guys were just happy to be there.

Skip to today...the number of models touring South Florida is a fraction of what it was just 5 years ago. There is no having a dozen ladies to choose from. Barely anyone shoots with cross over guys. It is important to stay on point and, be sure that none of your male talent has done gay porn in the last three years. Even FemDom, ladies are a little more uptight about. Not long ago, it was as if I turned them on to something they had been waiting for all of their life. Things are different. Not all of it, can I put my finger on, as to why. The agents, have definitely become more restrictive and, fewer and, further between. Even the male talent has become guarded. The stigma of cross over talent and, the taboo it has become in the industry has had to be a contributing factor.

It is still fun. The variety is less. The ease is less. The budget is less. It is a little more formal where it was once, wild and, crazy, free love with adventure.

I can identify with most of the posts I've come across here. More so, I can identify with Paul's. I am ancient. lol.
