I see a lot of the posts showing the photos saying they are protected and to enter code to get to them, what is this about?

a default setting making photos protected.

Other times it's about providers wanting to have some kind of a relationship going with a prospective client before they'll reveal any photos.  Then some providers think they are entitled to get some money for the privilege of seeing their photos.

I think they are best served by making them free and easily available because I know that when I see a site where all the photos are under lock and key, I just move on; and I don't think I am alone in that attitude

Website provider that has free website and listing but charges $$ to get at protected photos. I believe  girl's can elect to participate and then share revenue.  

Could be wrong!

Next to good reviews, photos are a providers' best marketing tool. I don't understand why their photo gallery would be password protected. I suspect that the majority of prospective clients would just move on if they come across a provider with a protected photo gallery.

 

(Off topic: I just received an inbox message, but since I'm not a VIP member I am not able to respond nor do I know who sent it.)

I thought that they were for graphic pictures like vag shots. I took some and uploaded them until I saw a thread where guys were complaining about locked photos. I then deleted them and my locked photos did not require any money of any type to see them. You just had to sign your name is which could have been Captain Kangaroo! I figured it best to keep them private so that the website hosting them would not just randomly check out websites and see the pink meat pics and delete my site

Seems like just a subscription ploy to me

if a woman expects me to pay to see her pictures, i'm assuming she's greedy and over-protective of her assets in other areas too.

as i find particular physical types more attractive than others (so sue me) i need visual cues to help me decide to pursue a new relationship or not.

plus demanding $$ in advance just to see pictures reeks of entitlement.

see her photos then feeling her tits is probably an upsell once you get there.

Or the photos are protected because the provider might only want a certain set of eyes on her content. Men who are verified to see her, men who are serious about seeing her, avoiding websites that steal content, etc etc just my 2cent

She doesn't want everyone to glance at all her photos. Exclusive photos for exclusive guys.
