Harassing Models

[Comfort Eagle]

This works every time:

1. Pose as the model online, arrange meeting place with scumbag
2. You show up to meeting place
3. Problem solved

Nothing like solving a problem yourself. I am not saying you should resort to violence, just putting that out there. You should never assume you are dealing with a tough guy in these cases, 9/10 times it is a kid. Know how many times I have had my life threatened since I have had my site? I send the "tough guy" my address when I hear that crap and ask him to send his.

I don't want to make light of the situation, but I think with minimal effort, you can resolve this

I have to stop commenting when I wake up in the morning, nobody is grumpier than I am lol. But still, I am close with a lot of models and dont mind standing behind them, well in front of them when necessary.

Just as there is no cure for stupid; there is no cure for uncouth. A well known model from the 80s/90s told me she was approached in a store out of no where by a guy with "Aren't you .... " and proceeded to talk about her work. She coldly told him she was mistaken and walked off briskly. The kicker? She was with her daughter, who was a young minor at the time.

That's really unfortunate. It takes so much courage to even do a video; people who do should be approached with as much caution and sensitivity as anyone, plus more because of that.

I'm picturing an episode of 'To Catch a Predator' with Chris Hansen. I'll have a transcript of what he was sending her and everything.

You know, perhaps her and other models keeping a record of harassment and giving it to the authories isn't a bad way to go about this issue.

This is a good idea, especially if the threats/harassment is coming in a non-online format. Sadly, the police don't have a great track record with online harassment campaigns yet, but that's mostly due to the relative "new" aspect of them. Also, if they're coming from a forum or service like that, get in contact with the Administrators. That might not work on big social media sites like Twitter or Facebook, but on your standard forum? Good chance the mods will step in.

Well you have the responsibility as a producer and distributor of content to protect the privacy of everyone that works for you. You have been in this business for a long time and surely are aware of the consequences and risks a model is involved, by now. Part of this problem is your fault, way to go.

No no no. Their should be no risk at all for a model. Don't change the victimization of this situation.

Honestly, I've considered doing some modeling myself in vids (and may still do so)...but this is exactly the kind of thing that makes me hesitant to do it. I'm a professional woman and I would *die* if my family members or clients (who are not customers) were to scroll through my FB timeline and see me in that way. I know there is always a risk of being "discovered" when you do any kind of fetish modeling, but I am very concerned about stalking behaviours and honestly I've already had to change my name on this forum (which I've been a member of since Christ was a pup lol I didn't "join" in 2013) because I became concerned in that regard. I know it's not everyone who acts that way, there are some wonderful people here and I would not have returned if there weren't. But we need to really stand strong as members to keep our girls (and guys) safe from that shit. I'm not sure how to assist with that (other than ways already mentioned above), but I can tell you as a female pondering entry into the "industry" that it's a huge factor in my decision.

 

[lancashirelad1]

amazed at some people that would do things like that but agree with weezl and Chicago. Simple change of the model's name and location should hopefully stop it happening again. keep up the good work though

I'm sara. I'd like to work with you.

Well now you're tiffany.

Lol, no it's okay. I'm not really sara.

Trust me. It's not okay, tiffany.

Thanks for sharing this information zen.

There shouldnt be but there is and unfortunately because we dont live in a perfect world, there will probably always be that risk. Since you cant control the behavior of others, one must take it upon themselves to be proactive about safety. I dont mean to say that its right for a model to be stalked or harassed but those issues are, sadly, very real possibilities to consider in this industry clearly.

There's a certain creepy element to the "community" that seems to get off on having some kind connection with a model they see on a video, or a woman they follow on the forum. Perhaps it's their way of dealing with the reality that they'll never get to touch them in real life - "If I can't have her, I can at least annoy/embarrass/scare the shit out of her"

 

[Darth Sidious]

This is a really sad article to read, but it does not surprise me. Some people on here clearly just have no respect or morals... I hope she pressed harassment charges on the guy if she could.

 

[ISUmark]

Im all for public shaming. This is fucked up.

 

[tmac]

I can sadly relate to this experience many times. I've had great shoots with awesome women who wanted to continue working with me. Then the creepers come out and any future shoots that were planned never happen. This can affect model referrals as well. I don't give out model information (despite frequent requests) and many women use different names. There are just to many tickle starved men out there with to much time on their hands.

In recent times, I've found that the main selection of models to choose from are full timers who do shoots with many other producers in this already congested market. They seem to be able to handle the creeper factor better than inexperienced women. Years ago when I first started out, without a website, it was easy finding amazing women who had never modeled (much less a fetish video) before. Now, it is much more difficult to find that model who hasn't modeled to every other company (creating less demand for my video). I'm not sure why its more difficult but the creepers/stalkers making models regret their experience, and those who pirate material, make it much harder to be a producer these days; which is why I rarely produce content.

if you think that then you live in a dream world. The only way there is no risk to the model is if she never did the vid. There will always be guys like this. The girl should have used a fetish name if she didn't want to be found on model mayham. That's why producers ask what name they want to use on there wavers. what she needs to do is just block them and erase there comments as you can do on any site. Should the guys have done this?? NO, but in there mind they've done nothing wrong and you will never be able to argue the point to them other then with ones fists.

 

[xionking]

Just give her my details and Ill protect her...I'll even use a stage name too if I have to. 🙂

Joke...

There sure are some persistent people out there. I guess tickle porn's just not enough. I thought Craigslist was doing a decent service by allowing these creeps to cancel each other out.

 

[COOLCAT88]

Some people ruin it for everyone.....

 

[weezl]

There is nothing sexier than a beautiful ticklish female willing to be tied down and tickled beyond anything they imagined.

"I HAD NO IDEA!"

 

[TicklishBlackGuy]

sadly being a Model, whether fetish or not will always have these issues. Its not his fault honestly that these women are being harassed like that. It is quite sad that men can't keep it in there pants to not act like that. I like the idea of reporting harassment to the proper authorities if possible. Being a model...sometimes just being a girl in general now a days your bound to be harassed by someone of this nature. Don't give up my man, but you'll figure out something to keep your models safe again.

And this is one of the reasons for my post. Pretty soon the only girls you are going to see in videos are the fetish models who shoot with every producer. Not that I have anything against them, but many people prefer the 'girl next door' types (much like your videos.. adorable local models who nobody had seen before). As you say, all the work put into finding new models who are open to the experience.. combined with the rampant piracy of tickling clips.. makes it much more difficult for producers. I started doing this when I was in college. Now that I have a great job that pays well, the whole thing is starting to seem more like a chore than a hobby.
