And "private" doesn't always mean racier. I'd say about 15-20% of the guys who request access are actually allowed in my private gallery.

But that's just me.

Gents, what do you think of private galleries with more revealing photos of your favorite ladies? I'm thinking of featuring one for my dearest friends to enjoy. Would more revealing photos turn you off? (I know that sounds like an oxymoron here, but you never know!)

I've noticed on some websites that there is a private section where you have to be given access via a login or a password. But what's the point of having revealing photos in a private gallery for certain friends when they can see you in person instead? They have already seen you naked.. If anything, it might be a turn off for clients knowing that your private photos are available to other people.  

Good luck and Happy Privateness...

Unless you are selling the pictures, what's the point?  As a guy who dabbles in the hobby once a month or so (give or take) I use TER, P411 and peruse websites of the gals I see on here.  If the gallery isn't readily accessible, or shows absolutely nothing but a fully clothed (often dark colored and baggy clothes hiding the "goods" I move on.  I'm not saying I need to see faces (those could be private shots) nor am I saying I need to see you jam out with your clam out (again, those could be fodder for private) but since I am using the site to see if I am interested in you sexually, I'd appreciate at least two angles of tit shots at least one or two of ass at different angles (standing and or laying down, etc.) And the biggest one for me, a shot showing your gut.  If you have one (a big gut that is), I likely won't see you.  No offense, but I have that at home.  I'm looking for fantasy and fucking.
Fully clothed shots are great too as long as they are tastefully done in clothing (dresses, lingerie, underwear, swimwear, jeans and T shirt even) that accentuates how sexy you are and makes me WANT to contact you.  I am not masturbating to these pictures (even the fully nude ones, believe it or not) rather I am trying to see if I want to stick my cock in you for real.  If I wanted to just jerk off, pornhub and redtube are much more interesting fodder than still pics.  Last time I jerked off to a non moving image it was pre-internet days.

Steph, I'm just curious what your criteria for letting guys have access to your private gallery is.

The private part that is, not the racy photos; I like the racy photos.

There's more to do in life than to ask to see all these private galleries, and there's no way I'm going to remember all the passcodes either.

I think that gals who show high quality racy photos are going to get more business.  I've no real proof of that except for the fact that I personally respond better to sites with revealing photos.

I can also understand you gals' point of view on this, so I'm not saying anyone is wrong.

Just offering my opinion since you were good enough to ask.

I think its a great marketing tool.  How many times have any of us guys wanted to see the racier photos?  All the time, we're visual creatures.  I personally dont feel the need to see them.  And this is no offense to any of the ladies, but I can find naked pictures of women anywhere, anytime for nothing.  Also alot of ladies have twitter, or tumblr or blogs packed full of naughty stuff.  If Im truly interested in seeing the lady Ill get to see her naked soon enough.  

Even if I had one and screened like crazy for access to it, you can't really control what someone is going to do with private images once they have access to them. Even if you disable right-clicking, a simple screenshot would be all it takes to have your vagina or face all over the internet.  

When I'm looking and I come across this, and all her pics are private, I'll usually just move on. It is too much time and trouble to go through for something I "might" be interested in booking. If only some of her pics are private, it doesn't bother me, but I won't go through the trouble of requesting access.  

My process goes something like this:  I see a post that interests me and I look to see who the person is or maybe I see someone on the Photo Only board.   After I check-out their website, if I am still interested, I go over to my P411 account and mark the person in my favorites.   Right now, I have about 20 all over the U.S. lol!  In all reality, due to the various constraints in my life, the fac that people leave the biz, etc. I will probably see 3-5 of those ladies, but at least I have done my research as I have gone along.

and the web master/ escort can have a gold pass member only area and it cost a fee to view.

Could be a nice touch if after a date I received an email saying, "Thank you for choosing to spend time with me Billybob, I had a wonderful time!  As a special thank you - and for something to remind you of me until next time -  here is the code to my private galary!  Until we meet again...  XOXO Susie"

You can't hide from you.  You simply can't reinvent the wing nut, so you should stop trying.

  Ladies, do you have private galleries? Do you think it's worth the bother?

You're all out today in full force hahaha. And hiding as usual

I will not pay for it.  There is just too much stuff out there for free to pay to see one person.  Yes, I think you should screen for it, but no more than you would for a personal visit with you.  No, Sarah, more revealing pics would not turn me off, and I if I have not seen you personally yet, they might entice me to take that step.  However, they might do just the opposite for some.  They think, 'well, I've seen all she has to offer, I think I'll save my money for someone else'.  You just never know.

...too much of a hassle and the few times I gained access it was no big deal at all.

I see no reason to provide masturbation material for free.

As long as the publik shotz show me enuf.

Lol, sorry I just thought it sounded funny.

Most providers have websites so they can drum up more business. If I see a folder of private photos on a site, I'm not going to go through the effort to get a username and password to view them. I'll just look at what's publicly available and form my opinion based on those.  

You know, when the snap photos of stars when they look like sheista and go get coffee like regular people?

Marketing 101 is to market your services to people who have already used your services.  

your name comes up often at them!

Specifically:

I'd never join any club that would have me as a member.

I have ZERO interest, less than zero if that is possible in any "private galleries" and I am sure I speak for many when I say that anything that makes it more difficult to either make my decision to book, or to book itself, is likely to send me on my way to the next lady on my list.

They had a funny sendup about how some people will always demand to be let into the exclusive part of the club in order to prove they're part of the in crowd. This type of marketing will work with those people. If I can't get a good sense of what you look like without having to beg or pay for special admission then I'm on to another lady's site.  Guess at my age I don't worry about being part of the in crowd.

but neither would I find it a positive. If any of my favorites were to do this, I doubt I would even log on to view it, or at least no more than once just out of curiosity perhaps.

I know you are looking for encouragement to go do this, sorry but I am just not a fan of this type of thing.

I bett yore meetingz R funnie.

I recently got my website redone and a whole new set of photos to go with it and the way I have it set up is I have my PUBLIC gallery (which is PG/PG-13) and once I have screened a gentleman and we have an appointment set up - when I send him the confirmation email - I will also include the passcode to my PRIVATE gallery (which includes the XXX photos) - Just a little something to build up the anticipation =)

I like people who like themselves.

But if you read my OP, I said this would be purely for my dearest friends. This means gents Ive seen more than once. Other guys wouldn't even know it exists.  It would be kind of like a special surprise.

how I'd imagined it. A little surprise for someone special I had met with. Nobody else would even know it is there. Thank you for this feedback!

I have gotten an erection from looking at a providers pictures, but I have never actually masturbated to them.
Not interested in masturbating to the pictures of a woman whose affections I can rent for the hour.

but I thought it stood for No Morons Allowed. lol

No Mollusks Allowed.

We can discuss that bc, of course.

Groucho liked himself just fine.  It's the clubs he hated.

I have sort of the same feeling myself about clubs.  I love people, but when they come in groups, they get sort of obnoxious for some reason.

Sarah

That's good, but for me I'd feel more like a "dearest friend" if you sent the photos to me. Certainly I'd know that other guys were getting them, too, but I'd feel as though I was being singled out for special attention. Of course, I'm a sucker for cheap marketing ploys.

I've been told however I'm like one of the guys, only with a really nice rack. Who are you kidding, you've got nothing but time.

Private galleries are fine, but before you invest in one you might want to look closer at the images you have on your website now.  Personally, I like to see enough facial images (even if partially cropped/covered) to know if the lady is attractive.  (I like pretty ladies!)  Secondly, I also adore nice breasts/nipples... so a photo or 2 of different views (with or without your face shown) is also essential. Next important are legs/butt shown, and again, a facial shot is not important with that.  Once a lady has these in either a public (preferable) gallery or a private gallery, beyond that I am not too concerned.  Perhaps a private gallery might be a nice perk to encourage returning clients?

thinking of doing something similar, only after we've met. But I agree with you and others- they should be screened.  

those you haven't seen yet? Also, would all gents you've seen merit access, or do you pick and choose among them? I think I'd like to be a little choosy as to who has access too. That's why it won't be advertised.  

I like the idea myself

and I'm not going to bother, but it still makes me a tiny bit resentful that there's stuff I can't see.   I've seen several girls with private galleries, never once asked for access.  Ymmv of course.

On the flip side, if you decided I was a "dearest friend" and sent me a link to more pics I'd probably check out of idle curiosity, but would also mentally ding you as a pushy marketer and probably stop booking.
