I am just curious about something. I am seeing more and more models, under 18, adding the words "No Nudes" or other similar phrases to their profiles.
My question is why would they need that? I understand why older models do, but are teen models getting that many offers for nude work that they need to make it clear they won't accept nude offers? Does that also mean that some teen models on this site are doing nude work?
Alan if they dont wanna get nekkid then they dont wanna get nekkid
why should it bother anyone that they clarify that?
(and yes alot of men dont care about the age as long as the boobs are well developed)

"Vulnerable underage boobies"?
That sounds almost Shakespearean...
"Hark, bring into mine chamber your vulnerable underage boobies..." 
Absolutely brilliant, Greg!
I'm going to be thinking about this while at dress rehearsal tonight. Coincidentally, for Shakespeare.

while an interesting thread, I also wonder if it is in some cases a simple desire from them to be clear. In the same way that some models also spell out what someone should write when contacting them, or how some go into detail about not being here for dating and various other humorous things. I tend to associate it with newness, but perhaps it is also representative of the other issues discussed.
Having lived in the US and in GB and now in Germany, I do tend to find the US a bit more worried about the issue.
With so many movies and other media sources as well as parents and other adults bombarding children with sexual messages - overt or otherwise - and kids having sex younger and younger, I don't find the issue of them posing very surprising.
I think I read something Yaaaahooooo recently where the average age of loosing virginity is around 15 or 16 for girls. The AVERAGE! Make one think.

It all depends how much money you have for legal battles. I, frankly would rather spend my money on new lenses and stuff like that.
They may not beat you in the courtroom, but they'll beat you in the wallet. Can't argue with that. And the first thing they'll seize to hang you out to dry for purveying kiddy porn will be the images on your computer, or the images you thought were not on your computer but still can be reconstructed from your harddrive by any decent crime lab.

Are you that in tuned that you can look at a picture of a girl and know for certain that she/he is over 18?
I could probablly list a few photos and if you didn't go to the profile you would know know if they were 18 or not.
Edit: I am sure someone may have said something about this.. but when I see someone make a statement like this.. it makes me upset.
Some girls mature faster than others... I have seen girls that are 29 that I had to see their ID to make sure they were over 18.. then I have seen others where I'm glad I did get their ID because I thought for damn sure they were 18+

I have some very simple advice on this to photographers. If you shoot nudes with models (over 18), do NOT shoot with underage models under ANY circumstances.
That may sound extreme, but if you knew the cops view on this as I have experienced and heard from other photographers, you would take it seriously. Dude, listen to Lumi; he knows what he's talking about.
I have worked with photographers who shoot nudes.
They never asked for me to reveal my vulnerable underage boobies.  Wicked! Er, uh, I mean, you'll be 18 soon enough

I think it's a 'trend', because they have seen other models put it in BOLD TYPE on their profiles... just the same as there was a 'trend' of models puting their ages ridiculously and obviously high... eg 190yo.

I find that a little bit disturbing. Maybe some of the younger models who have that can tell us why they felt it was necessary. Either photographers cant read the age or they dont care. I know models who get approached for nude when it says they are under 18.
Therefore, the need to say non-nude.

Therefore, the need to say non-nude. This is an old thread that we discussed years ago, but ... for the record, I understand what you are say. The question though really was "why?" If you are old enough to take a picture you are old enough to read the model's age. Beyond that you have to convince me that most of these guys don't understand that know that the models are under age.

I have yet to personally conceive of an artwork that requires a youthful nude model, but should I do so, it doesn't matter to me what age the model is so long as they meet the look I'm going for.
It is neither illegal nor immoral, so ... I don't care what someone else's prudish views on the matter are.

There is a world of difference between that which is legal, or moral, or practical. Indeed, the terms are often mutually contradictory.
Cases in point:
Almost anything by Jock Sturges, stunningly beautiful images of nude boys and girls, men and women, from infancy through old age, with no sexual overtones of any sort.
Much of David Hamilton's work, stunningly beautiful images of young women, generally in the 16-18 year old range (sometimes appear younger), frankly erotic, often exploring the awakening sexuality of young women.
All are legal (though not everywhere). The fact of publication says they are practical. The morality of Hamilton's work as compared to Sturges's could spark some debate.
For myself, I find nothing objectionable in either artist's work. I only wish I could accomplish what they do. But from a practical point of view, I simply never shoot anyone under 18, ever! Cowardly I admit, but relatively safe. At least until I get hit with an age discrimination suit!

Alan Because there are so many stupid and/or perverted photographers around. Some will always chance their arm.

people dont read profiles. most probably dont look at age, and some probably dont care
so if a model will not do nude and wants to put it on her page to make it clear must mean she has gotten asked.
