How do providers feel in general about pictures or video being taken during a session. My ideal would be to make a gonzo video and film myself with a hot babe or two...

I'm truly interested in the results just for me and wouldn't think of posting anywhere. What's the best way to introduce the subject - and hopefully get the go-ahead - without creating great waves of paranoia?

Thanks, LG...

Dear JBOY,
This is a tricky one and a very individual choice. It would be a safe bet to say that if you wish to rent a porn actress and co-star with her in a movie, do so and forget about asking providers. There is an explicit privacy aspect to providing, complete with blurry photos, fake names and no public recognition whatsoever. Most providers want to keep it that way, for obvious reasons. Were a provider to ask my counsel, I would definitely dissuade her from making any sorts of films, unless she wanted to change her career from provider to Adult Film Actress (or Actor, to be PC.) And actors have to sign Models' Releases and all sorts of other forms. They pursue a career in the public eye, whether they do Shakespeare in the Park or in the butt. A provider's nightmare and legitimate paranoia would be if this film in ANY way, shape or form ended up in the wrong hands. And, since no one can provide a guarantee, I think it's a tough call.

You can solve all this by making a date with someone who does both. TER has excellent search categories for PSE reviews and profiles. Of course, the fee will reflect your choice, but what you really are asking for, is someone to participate in a media endeavor, whether still or moving.

Good luck with the close-ups,

I've asked a few providers about this very thing.  Everyone I asked agreed.  Not only did they agree but they were as in to filmaking as me.  I  must point out that I carefully chose the girls to ask.........also I'm in the LA area where everyone want to star in some kind of film.  But I believe if you chose the right candidates (ones who are highly reviewed and are known to be sort of nasty...you'll probably get a 50% succes rate.

Did you ask prior to your meeting or at the beginning of the session?
