Cut Off Your Nuts, Please!

[Donny]

That's the title to my latest blog entry:

Another competitor has sprung up in my hometown. He's running ads looking for models, yet doesn't have a clue what he's going to do with the photos once he takes them. "Competition" isn't really competition, per se, 'cause I have my own projects to use models for, and the clients who purchase photo and video content from us won't purchase from other locals, but if a man decides to be an idiot and scare off models... well, it hurts all of us in this business.

Another guy in town sometimes has problems distinguishing the difference between professionalism and play time. I had a model today tell me that her friend was the proud recipient of a video of him masturbating. She'd responded to his ad. This particular guy is someone I consider to be a friend, or at least on his way to becoming one. I think he just felt a little too comfortable with the model and didn't realize how she might respond to something like that. Needless to say, she decided never to call him again.

I wish men would realize this is a serious business, like any other. But in this business we walk a thin line between complete model trust and being considered a total creep.

Think you wanna do what I do for a living? Cut off your nuts first, please.
