I have been burned when I show up at the door thinking I was going to see "Model Material" and instead I get road-kill.  Many providers haven't posted a recent picture in years.  5 or more years can pass since their last photo and all reviewers still say "Model".

Anyway, I am learning to avoid providers that don't have recent pictures.

The thread below on men sending inappropriate photos to providers reminded me of an other issue that I'm sure I'm not alone in facing.  Providers, how often do you get requests from clients to send *them* photos? Do you ever do it?

Personally, I have a hard and fast rule about sending and receiving photos-- I don't.  I can definitely understand why some clients might ask (To ensure that you're the woman in your ads, to make sure the photos aren't old, so that they can find you in the place you're meeting...), but the way I see it, that's what reviews are for.  My reviews all state that my photos are accurate so that you don't have to worry about a bait and switch.  And when I'm meeting a client somewhere publicly, like a restaurant or theater, I always let them know what I'll be wearing so that they can find me in the crowd. Asking for more photos just seems unnecessary to me.

What does everyone else think?  Hobbyists, what other reasons might you have for asking a provider to send you more photos?  Do they usually do it?

I know it's maybe not the smartest move in the world, but then neither is meeting strangers in hotel rooms, right?  I really enjoy titillating a guy by sending photos.  I have sets of them that are like a striptease.  Those have disrupted a few meetings in the past, hehe.  I enjoy it, and it's something I do in civilian life as well, so that's just me.  

Also, I remove all location data before sending, obviously.  An IT guy whom I trust told me how to do it.

My p411 ad has more full body pics. Also the pictures I just put up from August show more of my body. It's difficult because like I said elsewhere they're all selfies.  

I do have one that a friend took but I don't think it's on my site. I put it in an ad though and the link should still work if you're curious :)

I tread a fine line between enjoying my sexuality and not showing so much that civvies who have seen me naked can look at my site and figure out who I am. The members only section has more, and is only for people I've met.

It's exciting to show my naked body to someone I've never met. I think it's the same way meeting someone for the first time is exciting. You know, there's a stranger at the door. I don't know him, he doesn't know me, but within seconds we'll be naked and touching each other. There's something about the mixture of anonymity and deeply personal acts that I find so erotic. Picture sharing is like a lighter form of that I guess.  

Thinking back though, most of the pics I've sent were not in response to a request. The thing about pictures is you can surprise a man with them which is also exciting.  

Of course my pics are all selfies from my phone so it's not like they're getting these high-quality beauty shots, but still, it's fun. I'd love to have a photog session like most of the ladies here. The images are beautiful. They look like the boudoir photos every woman would love to have.  But it's just not in the cards for me yet. One day, hopefully :)

..I ask when the photos available need amplification. It's not about making sure it is not bait and switch. It's like I said - the photos available are intriguing but not intriguing enough. Plus, more is better. Photos capture a small moment and you would be surprised how different people look in real life even though the photos are real. Most escorts refuse but sometimes I am very pleasantly surprised. One escort who had 2 lame photos on her ad sent me 6 smoking hot full face photos. Good business move as I was very interested but would not have pulled the trigger without them.

Is when, like you said, the provider only has a couple of low quality photos on her ad.  But if that were the case, I can't imagine I'd even bother asking for more. I've never hired an escort myself lol, but I think I'd be more interested in women who actually put some real effort into creating an enticing, beautiful ad and website.  

Luckily for you, it all worked out in the end :)

...just goes to show you don't ever know. Every preconception, every expectation I have ever had has been turned on its head at least once. For both good and bad.

The ladies who go all out with their ads/web presence do tend to put more effort into ambiance and are probably sharper on the business and logistical end, but I haven't found that it necessarily extends to performance. Some people put a lot of value in ambiance; to each their own.

....then I'm usually ready to book based on the photos and all of the intel that I have already researched. To annoy her by asking for more photos seems redundant. It also makes it seem like I think she's lying about the photos that she does post. I have never asked for any photos of any provider and have never had any regrets.

I have had a couple of providers ask me for a pic, probably to confirm that I'm who I claim to be. I'll send them a headless shot so at least they get a peek at my bodacious bod :D

I never understood this practice. If she does not show her face on the web, why trust that sending it out over email will not get out as well? How many times have we heard the "My wife/gf found my email" bs from guys who are too careless to cover their tracks? How many people leave their phone somewhere or lose it period? Ha, no thanks. I will send a current body shot once I edit the properties tag, but that's about it.

But I can't or they'd think I was 20. LOL.

No newspaper though. Again, they have to have seen me and I deemed them worthy before I send (discreet) pics - and it's always on my own account. And usually ends up on my website anyway lol.

I mean I'll never book with a lady that dos not have pics on her site or in her ads.  I'm understanding when it comes to blurring the fac and photoshopping tell tale tats.  I get it. But I gotta have something.
However ,I won't join a pay site to see photo's .  But that might be a differen discussion.

It s not uncommon however for ladies  on occasion to send me pics after we have met and established a healthy relationship. And that , I kinda like.

But just as I would never send a photo of myself to an unknown , neither would I expect to receive one

And I've received unsolicited pictures during email exchanges leading up to setting the date.

In my short time as a provider, I have found that those who ask for pictures & more usually aren't serious...

& when they start asking for pictures it's usually to avoid booking an appointment & keep the conversation going..

XOXO,

I really can't but it makes it so difficult when a man says he wants to book then never gives the details (duration, location, etc.) but continues to ask for pictures & about sexual acts he would like to perform! lol

XOXO,

A few months ago I wanted to set up a session with someone I found attractive based on her photos.    Unfortunately, some of the recent reviews had language to the effect that the years had not been kind to this lady.  I could have simply walked away but instead I sent her a short and respectful e-mail explaining my concerns.   Within 10 minutes she sent me a selfie of her sitting at her desk without makeup.  Sold on the spot, we had a good time and, needless to say, I was left wondering WTF these other guys were criticizing.  

I know that the ladies don't want to put up with a ton of BS, with good reason, but not all of us are assholes.    I would think that if a guy wanted to pleasure himself using photographs, material is already available in high volume without having to ask anybody.  Of course, I do understand that some guys like to string along but I would say that it is not a good idea to throw the baby out with the bath water, some of us do have good intentions and we don't mean to offend or bother anybody, we simply want to better the odds that the lady we choose will be attractive to us.  I realize that now I sound like I always ask for a photo, it was only that one time, there was a reason for it and I am glad that I did, otherwise, I would have missed out on a good meeting.  Probably 9 out of 10 ladies would have ignored me.    

As guys we hear a bit here and there but it is abstract to us, because we are not dealing with these e-mails day in and day out, I guess I understand.   A lot of times ladies ask what kind of photos guys would like to see on their websites and my number one suggestion would be to have some natural looking photos on the website amongst all the other glamour shots.  I am not saying photos without makeup, just photos that are not touched up or with perfect lighting, etc., something that will give us a better idea as to the person we will be meeting.   Anyway, those are my Jack Handy thoughts for the day...

Usually when I get requests like that, I'm in the grocery store, pumping gas, or sitting here not done up on my computer lol!

But selfies I have sent as a "little extra" I've sent to clients by my own doing, since that's when I'm all done up. Otherwise, I am usually in exercise clothes, (for comfort, not exercise haha,) and sweating from sitting outside picking tomatoes.

:)

Obviously the photos are edited for discretion, and it's never "only for him". They usually end up on my website selfie center if they're good lol!

popping open what is usually a verbal communication and BAM! There's a big ass booty on his screen as his boss is walking by - or his employee hahaha.

I think in all of the years here I only had two guys ask me for pictures and I did not send either time.
I do not show my face so I am not going to send a face pic to a guy.
All of the photo galleries I have on my website with the month and year of each gallery if that is not enough or a deal breaker if a picture is not sent then we will not meet.
No telling where that picture will end up.Some guys will say they will never share the picture and then share the picture.
Case in point there are a couple of guys I have seen on appts during the appt he whips out his phone and starts showing pictures of other providers.Some of these providers do not show their face and I am sure would not be too happy to know that these pictures were being shown.
I just let the guys I am not interested in seeing providers pictures on his their cell phone.
Some of the guys who request pics do come off as timewasters.
Just my .02

you tell us about guys who during a date whip out their phones to show you pics of other providers. :[

I've seen (and greatly appreciate) all of the pics you share with us on the Photo board. As you said, there's no need to send any more pics. At least most guys understand that, except for those two you mentioned. I've never asked a provider to send me pics. What's published (I check as best I can to ensure they're not "borrowed') and reviews tell me all I need to know about appearance - enough to decide whether to ask for a first date anyway. And of course there's much more to that decision than appearance.

when they whipped out the phone.Not good.
Some of the replies here suggest there are some providers who are comfortable with sending pics and some aren't.Everyone does what works for them.
Thank you for your kind words:)

and in what reality did they think you would be interested in seeing the pics of some other woman/en?

Some hookers have what seem like some really dumb rules, and then you hear about the even dumber things some of the guys do and you have to think to yourself it's like GE having to put warning labels on their irons for people to not test the heat by putting their tongue to the iron. Some people I suppose really are THAT stupid.

When i first started, I'd get requests for additional photos. i think i only ever sent one out. Of course, it didn't lead to a booking. Lulz.

Anyway, if i'm asked now, I tell them to look at my website/instagram/twitter/reviews/etc.  If that's not enough, they can pay for a face to face cam conversation/show/whatever via niteflirt.  Some clients do it to get a better feel for a provider's personality, some do it because they're nervous. Really, they could do it for any number of reasons, and the option is there should they want to (but really, is it necessary? of course not).

Just like with anything else that goes above and beyond the session, be it extra time, msog, lunch, freebies, emails, and the like, it all depends on the lady. Some ladies are happy to share photos, and some ladies refuse to share photos. Sometimes ladies send you photos, and you've never even met.  

Sometimes, if we have a great connection, I might ask a lady if she has any 'other' photos she might send me. Maybe even an explicit photo or two, especially if she has a gorgeous pussy, a hot ass, or killer boobs. I have tons of photos from atfs over the years. But also, I don't have any photos from other atfs. It's all good. Whatever an atf wishes to do I completely accept. I don't stop seeing her if she won't send me any pics.  

I know what you're thinking. I take those explicit atf photos and use them for self pleasuring. This might sound funny, but that's not what I do. It's like I'm going to see her in a few days live and in person, so why do that? This might sound even funnier, but it's like the explicit photo she shared with me is sacred, and should not be desecrated. Much like a picture of Jesus. I truly enjoy those photos as a remembrance of the beautiful lady. Would I send her a photo of me? Yes, to the most trustworthy atfs, sure. But mostly, instead of photos of me, I bring several photos of Benjamin Franklin to give to her. She appreciates those photos much more.

if a girl with no photos at all was getting rave reviews by guys I knew and respected, but I couldn't get a good read on her for whatever reason, I might ask for non-nude pics just to...

Nah, too much trouble to type so too much trouble to do. If I felt like I needed additional pics I'd simply pass. Fish and the sea and all that.

if you have them and they are sufficient to pique my interest -> email follows
   Or they don't -> pass
Or iyou have no photos -> pass

Don't quite understand what is hard about this concept....

Asking for "special" treatment prior to the first appointment is whiny...  :-

I will send a snap shop or two upon request, if I know my gent well enough or for an upcoming date that has been screened well enough. I always crop out my face and any background that could identify my location.  I see it as part of the teasing that adds to the excitement of our potential date. It also allows me to tease him a bit before our next date.  I don't make it a habit to send them, but it's fun from time to time to go in the bathroom and snap a few naughty shots

I find I get requests for my pictures because all of my reviews are in Toronto, so they say they want to see who I really am. I laugh and tell clients, if it's not me who opens the door, walk out and I've never had a problem. The ones who are persistent want happy time pics. I don't send those. And clients should understand that you have providers that do send and some that don't. I shouldn't be argued with over it. I don't send my face to strangers. If I was okay with it, I wouldn't blurr it out. AND! I only blur our my eyes. You can see the rest of my face! Do my eyes make a difference?  

Now I realized I just tell them where to find my NY reviews and all is well hehehe
