New style.
Requires much grunting (grundge style), thrashing of bushes, and throwing of sticks, and a massive back scratch and tickle all around at the end.

I am cracking up here.  This post was well written and a lot of thought was put into it. That being said, the word gorilla has turned this into something that it wasn't meant to be.   

Thank you for putting this up as a forum.  It is one of the best subjects I have seen thus far. Respect

Whatever you say on MM, there will always be someone somewhere  itching for a quarrel.
While all this was going on Someone contacted me about a TFP shoot;
Sadly ,you girls forgot one thing for your list... young women  are attracted  to douchebags.

You brought it. You alone.

When you call models women who are moody, stupid, don't know what they want, and who like douchebags... Well you'll certainly start something.

Can we now discuss the OP please? If you disagree that's fine, but throw your poison elsewhere.

This is a super helpful thread and I really don't want to see it get locked.

Considering the plenitude of reasons for not shooting with someone, it is surprising that anyone actually does.

Gyno shots would not be allowed on ModelMayhem regardless smile Although, like anything else, they can be missed sometimes. Gyno shots, however, break the rule on "emphasis on genitalia" ...

I agree completely. As a nude photographer I have made it my business to not shoot the vag shot as I believe it to be distasteful and not particularly artistic. Many females love what I do. It is one of the reasons models ate almost always willing to shoot TF with me.

So, you're completely happy with available models?  No complaints or concerns?
Awesome! 

More generally, I just talk to the models, and shoot no more than they are comfortable with, but that seems to be too complicated for some people.

I make no judgment on that style of imagery. 'Just saying it's not allowed on MM smile

You mean I can't let my Python and King snakes slither around (please note, I did not say run around) my studio floor.
