A couple of weeks ago, I'm on the bus going to work in the morning, when a 40 something man, presumably gay, asks
"Have we met before?"
"No, I dont think so."
"Have you done any modelling work? Maybe that's where I've seen you?"
"No mate, not me."
"I'm a commercial photographer, I thought maybe I'd worked with you before."
"Nope, sorry. Maybe you've seen me on the bus."
"Well, you must have a twin out there or something... You've got a good look about you have you ever considered..."
"Nah mate, not my thing, really."

So anyway, yesterday at the bus stop I see the guy and give him a polite nod hello. Bus turns up, I get on, and the guy sit's down in front of me, gives me another nod hello.

Now my sister does modelling, acting and promotions work, so I figure it can't hurt to make a contact for her in case this guy is any good.

"So mate, what do you photograph?"

To cut a short story shorter, he's asked me to go around to a studio, where he proposes to pay $200 an hour to take photos which, he adds, don't necessarily have to be nude. But in the course of talking to him, amidst all the compliments on my appearance he's asked my height, weight, waist measurement and *shoe size* and more or less said that guys who dont do nudes are insecure about their penis size.

So. I can only assume at this point any photos he took, if they were any good, would end up in soft core gay porn erotic art magazines. Personally I don't think I have the right look for it, but whatever. 200 bucks an hour is 200 bucks an hour.

I'm the first to admit that as far as anything like this goes, I'm cynical, but still pretty naive. So.... what's the worst that could happen?

slight, given the nature of photoshop skill in the world...if you really think those will stay "softcore" you're kidding yourself.

If you never want to be blackmailed with photos of yourself taking it in the ass, then don't do it, because essentially you're leaving yourself open to all kinds of fraud..."Well, yeah, I was in gay porn, but it wasn't that kind of gay porn..." ...try telling that to your wife/girlfriend/hetero lifepartner. Riiight.

You shut up.

There is nothing wrong with him slutting his pretty self out.

As long as we get to see the photos. (I will expect some nice glossy copies to arrive in my box.)

The worst that could happen? Let's see...

How about you show up for your first shoot and are gang raped by a bunch of fudge packing bikers, then are sold by them into the Hong Kong man-whore slave market where you are forced to meet the needs of 40 gay Sumo wrestlers every day for the next three years, only to have one have a heart attack while he is polishing your prostate, leaving you accused of his murder, found guilty by a kangaroo court, and sentenced to life in a squalid shithole of a prison where your foray into sodomy takes a turn for the worse when your vertibrae fuse leaving locked in a bent over position. Then the warden, after not being able to sleep because of all your screaming in the night, transfers you to the experimentation block where for the next eight years your days are spent having new torture devices and techniques tested on you. When you can no longer show any nerve impulse response they weight down your body and throw you off a freighter ship that is heading out to pick up new "models" from around the world. However, the ropes holding the weights break and you end up cast onto a beach on Fire Island, stuck in the fetal position and unable to utter anything but the phrase, "Oh fuck me!"

Things really start going down hill from there.

Go for it slight! It's good money.
lets face it, it's not like you'll ever have a partner or any kind of real life commitment.

This has produced some very interesting repressed fantasies from Squee and TT.

I considered wording it differently, but decided to see if anyone said anything.

Barring crazy bad things happening, I'd say it's worth a shot. I'd certainly do it, $200 an hour ain't nuthin' to sneeze at. If anyone said, "Hey! I saw you in gay porn!" I'd either give them a thumbs up or accuse them of lookin' at gay porn, depending on how they meant it. And who am I kiddin'? I'm not ever going to find myself in a position where blackmail will have any real effect on me, so I can do whatever I like.

Now, that's how I'd see the situation. If you have lofty aspirations, or are afraid something like this will come back and bite you in the ass, then a different story might unfold.

Seems to me that this "photographer" should have been able to produce a business card or name of a magazine that he works for. He should have references that you could call. I'm worried there may be no camera at all.
I say go for it if he checks out as legit. And I wanna see the pics too.

We are aware of your underlying concerns and I doubt you have to worry.
There is little chance that you are going to get AIDS just because he gave you a blow job.
And if you wish to not consider yourself gay because he paid you to get blown, go ahead.

I hope you don't die, slight. Not that I like you, I don't know you well so I don't not like you. So yeah, don't die.

Well now we know how much it costs to ruin one's chances of ever winning a political office....Though you still might have a chance one day in San Francisco.

If you show up at his place and the first thing you notice is that it's a pretty nice apartment after all, it's clean, has lots of plants that look well-tended, big bay windows that let lots of sunlight in, and the guy that greets you at the door and takes you back to his studio looks like a decent fellow, silver silk shirt unbuttoned about halfway down and well worn jeans, artsy looking you know, and then you go about the photo shoot trying to be all detached and professional, and it starts out pretty reasonable, but then he starts adding shit to the set that he swears are just props, and you start getting uncomfortable so he's all like "okay, why don't we take a breather?" and he has you sit down on his leather couch while he gets us a drink, and he keeps talking to you while his back is turned as he pours the drinks, and he's saying "you know, boys like you don't often get opportunities to make this much money for an afternoon's easy work" and he hands you the bourbon and you gulp it down fast, cuz you know, you're pretty nervous, and he doesn't touch his he just sits down next to you with his hand on your leg, and he starts saying more things like "if you want, I have an easy way for you to make a couple hundred extra bucks" and "I don't want you to do anything you're uncomfortable with", and you're kind of pissed off at him but that starts subsiding as you feel this warmness coming up from your gut, and it starts rising up your neck until it hits your head, and you start feeling pretty good and you think "boy, an extra couple hundred bucks would be nice, and this guy sure seems like a legitimate artist, maybe he's right" and after a few more minutes of coaxing, he leads you back to the studio space and has you start picking up the props and messing around with them a bit while he's snapping pictures, and one thing leads to another....you totally shouldn't fall for that. That's the oldest trick in the fucking book.

There was that girl that met a man who claimed to be a photographer at a mall in California. She went for a shoot and they found her body in the hills somewhere. The photographer claimed he was showing her some tricks with he could do with his 4x4 and accidentally ran her over and freaked out and hid the body. The police didn't believe it and charged him with murder.

That's probably the worst that could happen.

Hell, they wanted me for American Bear magazine. I was flattered until I found out that they also asked about a dozen other people I knew as well. The worst that can happen is that the guy makes a pass at you and pays you to see yer dick or blow you. If you can live with that, no biggee. If he's legit, the worst that can happen is that people will see naked pics of you.

Squee, don't be an idiot. They don't need to chop pics of slight or anyone else. There are scads of lads steppin up to the plate to do just about anything on cam. Was Tubgirl chopped? It's not worth it to go to all that trouble. Slight's not a celeb, and pretty boys are a dime a dozen.
