It saddens me to think that many of us came here due to some serious sence of shock and sensere concern. Very disapointed to know it was a desperearate need for attention. Honey if you wanted people to stop by your port, use the "main" announcement page and just say HELLO.
Sexual preference has nothing to do with the severaty of the allegation. Many people have actually been in that predicament although I am thankful for not being one of them I do trully feel for those who are. You're a handsome man, use your smarts!..... OH WAIT, HE DID, THAT'S WHY WE ARE ALL HERE... GAVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED DUH!!

Let's just all stop posting on this thread. It shouldn't have made it as far as it has.

I'm disgusted by some of the replies I've seen on this subject. This guy has a genuine concern over something that absolutely could happen to anyone. Now I'm not here offering up scare tactics, but as with any situation you go into alone, you have to be realistic. No matter what references you get, above all else follow your gut instinct. If you speak to someone about shooting in a private location, scope the place out before the shoot. Usually it's pretty easy to tell when someone's going to scam you. And if it seems okay from your viewing but you're still uncertain, ask the photographer if it's cool you bring a companion. Anyone who's unwilling to let you is most likely hiding something.

Oh see that's my point, if its a true concern, by all means we can discuss it he just posted it the wrong way.
Just clearing the air a bit, no attacks no disrespect just me being a kind hearted person really was conserned by him (though a total stranger) I wanted to leave a genuine heart felt message and then I found out it wasnt true... like I said it is most definately a very serious matter so if anything let it be treated as that...
K I'm outta here! NUFF SAID

Yes a genuine concern over something that could happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Please all the fear mongering that gets tossed around on these forums sometimes is ridiculous. As for the whole companion (ESCORT), do you bring someone to work with you? A lot of photographer's are unwillling it DOESN'T mean they are hiding something. PUhleze!
If you (models) are sooo afraid of getting raped and killed by big bad photographers then maybe you should think about a different profession? Anything in a secure building where you don't come in contact with the public will do.

I'm Sort of disgusted too, This is a real thing that happens to people albiet I doubt so much on photoshoots. Hell when I was in high school there was some fool going around drugging and raping dudes at the cypher I went to, and he never got caught because everyone was so ashamed. Its very disturbing to me to see all these jokes, but hay this is just a internet forum

Some of the women in this thread have been completely tactless with their remarks about rape and their implied remarks towards the OP and other men here. This is not even funny in the least bit.
Men do get raped and are less likely to report it. I have met some rape survivors at the rape crisis center I went to. This is clearly not funny.
Now perhaps people should have just focused on telling the OP that the dangers are low in the business and you are more likely to get raped by someone you know. Not sit there and joke about it.
Tasteless. Truly.

... not the right way to do anything...he even admits it halfway through... and changed the intitial remark to "Trainwreck"...which it has become...frankly i'm disgusted...

I simply like sharing my thoughts and discussing things. And not all of my past and present posts are about gay sex issues.
