Hi all!

I've been a producer for a couple of years now and have kept a good reputation (yes I have references, should we ever cross paths) so I went ahead and joined here, hoping to find new faces.

This doesnt happen often but I'm wondering if theres a misunderstanding as to what 'fetish' is. To us in 'that' realm, its very obviously related to things like foot fetish, bondage, balloon (looners), inflation (yeah thats a thing), impact play, belly buttons, and yes even burping and sneezing. It can be bizarre for many and I do understand that.

Sadly I do get the odd reply thats angry and upset that I'd reach out to them, which is confusing. I don't tend to lash back, whats the point? But I do wonder if theres a misunderstanding when models add that category to their genres?

Anyway! Thanks for reading and always stay safe smile

Some models may have personal limits and preferences only to work in certain fetishes, but won't do others.  There is no provision made for defining one's interests other than the broad fetish category, which as you stated could include dozens of different things including many others which you did not list.  A few additional ones that come to mind involve various clothing articles such as schoolgirl costumes, white cotton underwear, socks, and body hair.  There is also medical fetish, and age related fetish.  All of those seem to have their own followings, but the fact they exist doesn't automatically mean any given model who does some of the fetish categories would consider doing some of the others.

A polite no thank you or I'm not interested would be appropriate in response to an inquiry made to a model to determine if she wants to participate in any given modelling assignment.

I suspect some models put fetish in their profile as in they ....shoot.... fetish themed pictures, and sometimes some photographers I suspect are reaching out to some models to do a ....fetish act.... first and foremost and pictures is secondary if wanted at all. such as maybe instead of wanting to shoot say a domination themed photography session, they want the model instead to physically beat them etc etc.

possibly they view it as crossing a line from a photography model to something else.

I think the over reaction response is usually when someone cold calls them essentially without evet having broken bread with them in a regular shoot.  just my opinion

I think that many models checking that box in their profiles are thinking that fetish means posing for photographs in latex outfits. And they aren't wrong, really.
This site is geared toward photography and isn't really fetish-friendly for video producers.
For most models, photography is fine and they are fine with shooting sexy images, but when you say the word "video" they think "porn." In reality, even fetish video with no nudity or sexual activity is still "adult material." So it's not unusual that many models are not interested in shooting it.
The best places to find fetish models are on X - follow traveling models so you see when they may be near you - and fetlife has some groups you can join too.

I've wondered the same on a few points here. I 'think' the assumption is a latex outfit, which mind you - is fine. The only thing I find bizarre and uncalled for (its only happened twice mind you) that it gets such offense. Thats just strange to me.
Yes I've been on X and have been in the biz for several years now. Thats my main spot, but I thought I'd reach out and broaden a search to faces many hadn't seen. I've gotten a few replies and scheduled dates so thats cool smile
Fetlife...meh. I use it as a port to publish previews and thats about it.
The whole idea of adult material is a gray area, and I'm not sure how to even define it. It wasn't that long ago that the majority of what we see on here was considered lewd.
I just cant see someone sneezing, laughing, or even being bound or jumping on a balloon the same as what we'd call porn. But, thats an entirely different discussion.
