Someone told me you have to do sexual favors and model nude to get to the top of the modeling industry since the industry is tough and what not.
Me personally, I would never model nude nor use my body sexually to please someone just to get to the top. I think it is just wrong.
Tell me what you think.

you are 17. No you do not. Some do, some ask, some don't, but you do not HAVE TOO. also at 5'1" you need be realistic what market you go after, someone claiming they can make you a high fashion model superstar is lying regardless of what the offer or promise.

If a model can find the right photographer, one who is famous, one who is "up there", and she will sleep with him, she can skip the hard work, and get to the top.
Then you agree with what the photograher told the op.

But i do not agree with what the photographer told the op here:

What an incredibly horrifying experience that would be.
Don't ever do sexual favors for anything or anyone ever!
Unless it's for your hubby & you want to be in charge of the remote for once! :-P

I did not say that sleeping with the right person cannot help, it can, at times, but it is not a HAVE TOO situation as described. And often knowing who the right person is, and being able to play the situation correctly so you do not get tossed to the side with no benefit is not as easy as it seems on TV, even the boss often has shareholders or consumers to answer too if they place the wrong person in the wrong job for the wrong reason

That's very different. OK. how does this work? Model sleeps with photographer, and he gives her some sort of written "contract" that she is going to make it? I mean, he can promise her that for sexual favors he will make her a top model?
Or, does the photographer just pass her name around to others who will help her get to the top, ....edit...if she sleeps with them? ...end edit.... Doesn't sound like modeling... sounds like pimping.

She and I just haven't been able to find a date yet.

Don't sleep with a married photographer. You really think he wants the girl he fucked on set, what if his wife comes around.
No only sleep with the single, divorced, estranged and widowed photographers.
