I'm asking this to the hobbyists who actually hobby and to the ladies who have done this. Not to the lurkers who just peep n tug. (no offense).  

I'm debating on adding a section to my website that is x rated. some nudes, some self action, maybe with others to attract new clients.  

I'm curious how active hobbyists see this?  

A -Yes
Or
B- No

1.Nudes/Spread/Solo Play

2.Playing with other females?

3.Playing with other males?

I appreciate those who are taking the time to read and respond to this.

Red Hot Rave

Otherwise you will lose business because the guys will finish to your pics and No need to contact you for appointment anymore.

Courtney - I should have been more specific. I meant inactive lurkers. Men who read this board but don't partake in the hobby. Because if they aren't buying, then their input isn't helpful to me.

I do agree about the active hobby lurkers -99% of my fellas don't post anywhere so I know what you mean by that.  In my experience, the ones who email, chit chat, text, call and post MINIMALLY are the best ones. They always hold up their appointments and are no hassle bookers and don't waste your time and usually quite pleasant in person.

However, I don't think a guy is going to avoid meeting a girl in the flesh because all he needed was a picture and a wank. If pictures were all they needed to satisfy themselves, there is plenty of free porn out there. They want to feel that heat, that connection, that passion that a picture can't solve.  

I would be glad to avoid these types if they ARE out there because once they spank it and the urge is over, they tend to cancel. But that can happen with anyone's X rated pictures, not just the girl he has booked with.

I'm looking for girls who HAVE had x rated photos on their sites, from tasteful and sexy, like Ms Courtney, to XXX dirty girl stuff.  

However, I'm mainly looking to hear from the guys - does it affect your decision in seeing someone you were already interested in? Positively, or negatively?  I have lots of pictures but am at odds if I want to go that route... hmmm....

Thanks for the responses..

I removed my input - You mean lurkers on websites.

who does hobby. I enjoy looking at a woman's body. But like to leave a little  to my imagination,something to look forward to
Show some but not all.

There is something to be said about a connection between two people. Some clients may respect class of "leaving something to the imagination". It's kinda like opening that big box under the tree on Christmas morning. You know it's something good but there's an amount of pleasure in being surprised and able to enjoy your gift. Some people feel a sense of anticipation and actually enjoy the experience more pleasure when those feelings of built up anticipation are involved. For me I always ask my lady to wear something sexy for me. I like to relish her body with the lingerie on sharing some dfk and touching, then exposing her more intimate parts when we have warmed things up enough to get a little more juicy.

Now on the other hand, and I can't relate but the more inpatient client that desires everything out in the open online probably may be assumed to be the impatient lover too. It would bother me a little if she didn't take the time to press the right buttons with me and experience passion before the main event.  

I suppose you can say as a provider you'd wanna be versatile to both types. I think with one's tendencies in pleasure come tendencies in behavior too. Now I will say that it is a risk of attraction for providers to blur their face. But I'd not get too hung up on that because I respect her privacy. But providers with the same body type that's appealing, one showing face and one not may cause the one not to be overused if their reviews are similar.

END OF MESSAGE

Why the hell not? Please though, if you do put a couple nudies in, don't put them behind that obnoxious paywall thing.

As an active hobbyist, seeing x rated material on a provider's site isn't particularly important.  I want a provider's web site to give me the info I need to decide whether to make the connection.  That means for me:  clear description of your donation (it amazes me how many are inconsistent), some idea what's on the menu and if there are upcharges for certain services, and pix that give me an idea of whether I will find you attractive.  I don't need to see your face as I fully understand the reasons not to make that public.  But I do want to see a full body picture that is not some exaggerated pose or camera angle suggesting something to hide.  If you have tats and want to blur them that's okay too, but let us know you're doing that.  
To answer your direct questions, nude spreads and solo play would certainly help me know if you're my type since it's a lot harder to hide something in a video than in a still picture.  Like most guys, if find GG play fun to watch.  But I don't think a scene with another guy would do much for me.  You can leave that to my imagination.

I'm not a guy, however, as someone well versed in many aspects of he adult industry, I believe in leaving something to the imagination-.  I've posted all sorts of pics in my ads in various forms of dress. It's illegal to post anything that resembles a sex act and I avoid websites that would actually allow that. The ones that do are very low quality and I don't care for the clientele they attract.  There aren't many as most know better.  I also feel that too much as far as completely nude or the type of pictures you're posting (stimulated sex act or just nasty poses) isn't classy or necessary.  

Through the years, the type of pictures I get the most compliments on and the ones that attract the most gentlemen are the ones that don't show everything, 2 of the favorites have all my naughty parts covered...in one even my belly is covered.  Pictures should also show other aspects of your personality.  I see gentlemen that want a full experience and 75% of my business is multiple hours.  If all I had was raunchy pictures that show all I have to offer is my body,  I would have burnt out years ago and would not have enjoyed myself and my clients as much as I have through the years.  

Keep in mind, the other part of this is the verbiage a lady chooses to put in her ads. Pictures are just one aspect.

The type of clientele a lady attracts or want to attract or believes it's all she can attract makes the difference.  BP ladies advertise differently than Eors ladies.  Those who offer 15 minute meetings (I don't and won't) will advertise differently and have different pictures than someone like myself would.

Shots taken from different camera angles...front, back, side, etc.  I understand that ladies like to highlight their best features ....but if all pics are taken from the front, then that's of no value to an ass man like me.  Also, I've noticed some ladies have become quite clever at including facial profiles even when they want to keep their main facial features hidden...I find this VERY helpful.  Even partial face pics are so appreciated and add much to the overall collection IMO.

In my opinion Sage has the perfect balance of taste and sensuality.  Do I wish photos were a bit more revealing?  Of course!!

I probably wouldn't access it if it was behind a paywall, but seeing it would only increase my interest and make it more likely I'd call. Personally I'd want to see some good solo shots and play with other females.

I have seen both… Pictures leaving some to the imagination, covered faces etc.… And I have seen full arm  XXX pics and videos!!!  I have seen a few providers (including Becca blossoms, Bebedoll, Sage and Zarah...The latter two whom you work with.) Who mostly have pictures and and zero video that I am aware of, except Beccas porn,  and have enjoyed great experiences with them.  Two  providers who regularly have XXX videos and pictures are Holly Berry and Lana Devious.  I have seen both of them numerous times and the experiences are in someways more amazing due to the anticipation of seeing a "star". Do I spank? Sure... I'm a guy and most guys do. But I think that some naughty naughty can enhance the experience. Love seeing Holly on Occasion, but have not seen Lana in years…  she was special… We had an ongoing where I would walk in, say "hello", and leave… Miss that ,  but have moved on as I guess she has too!! Any one of the a for mentioned ladies regardless of their pictures will give you an amazing experience! Just my two cents…

Ultimately (and truthfully) I want to attract the kind of guy every working girl does.

The kind that follows thru with their booked time, pays the agreed upon fee and doesn't cause problems. We'll put up with the most of the rest as long as those things are in play.=0)

I'm pretty confident that I have a pretty face but personally, blurring only part of the face isn't an option. You are very easily recognizable to someone who already knows you when you do that. Not to mention facial recognition software. I never understood why girls just blur out their eyes. To a stranger it may help with discretion but if your brother and his buddies, or a vicious Ex stumble across your website, they will recognize you straight away.  

I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond. It definitely gives me something to think about.

Thanks and have a great and safe weekend!

My 2 cents  = X rated pictures will boost your business . It doesnt matter if a guy jacks off once to your photos because male orgasm is a repeat event .  Also jacking off and being with a real live woman are not even the same thing .

...and my content is not even SO explicit.  Still, some of it wanders into the explicit realm.

I also produce (not terribly explicit but sexual and well-done) teaser videos for my advertising.  I know for a fact that lots of guys sit and jerk off to them, but that's no competition against the real in-person deal.  Guys who can afford it will indulge in an appointment and feel like they're getting to meet a porn star in person, and guys who can't afford it will jerk off (ideally quietly and anonymously behind their screens).

If it doesn't bother you that your explicit images will be out there on the internet forever and ever, then releasing them will always appeal to a niche segment of the market and turn off another section of customers.  But we both know that porn stars command higher rates for a reason, and if you give your marketing that type of edge in a well-done manner, it can yield positive results for you as well.  

I always think that differentiation is a good idea in this business.  But you should only take your marketing in a direction that truly suits you and your product/persona.  If you enjoy producing explicit content and think you'll like the type of guys that are attracted to it, then GO FOR IT!

I don't feel that my business has suffered for edging on the side of the explicit a little bit.  But explicitness works with my overall branding, you know what I mean?  I'm pretty explicit in conversations on the boards too.  The only place I don't allow explicit conversations is in my booking emails, particularly with new/unscreened clients.

And definitely, many many guys have made the comment to me that they love my videos because when they finally meet me, it feels like they are meeting a porn star in real life at long last.  They definitely sometimes mention how many times they jerked off to my erotic teaser videos.  And it certainly didn't stop any of them from booking me.  I assume many more guys feel the same way but failed to disclose to me their personal business regarding how many times they jacked off to my photos & videos...

TL;DR:  In this business, you do you, and that means, if you like being explicit & are comfortable with the long-term commitment of putting explicit images of yourself online, don't be afraid to be a little explicit in your marketing!  The guys who like ladies like you will be attracted to it.  If you're not fully comfortable with it, then definitely don't, as it will likely attract guys you're not truly compatible with.

If you're not a 100% with this idea, don't do it. If your mind's set for this plan, go for it, no harm if you don't try.  

I had a members section on my site in the past, it was more tease stuff on there (videos and pics) I wouldn't release publicly on my Twitter. I prefer not having one to keep my site cleaner, cleaner in the sense of less clutter.  Plus a lot of men would ask for the PW, some would never book or book then cancel just to gain access.

Private section was a lot of upkeep for me as well because I updated frequently. In all honesty did not see a change.

Honestly, I'm never confident enough to book until I've seen either her face or breasts. When all is concealed on ads, my brain just assumes something is less than great.  I can get by with a blurred face after reading reviews, but unedited and unfiltered body shots show confidence that I find very appealing.  
As for explicit photos, absolutely. More more more please. I can't think of a better way to advertise.
