That was the key to know it wasn't really the model. She was trying to sell me on buying a photo set. I asked her if they were exclusive to me, to which she replied yes.
Then I asked her to do a custom pose (nothing scandalous; wanted to see how exclusive this was) and she said she couldn't do that.
At that point I said to her thanks but no thanks
But I agree. If she would have done that I probably would have paid for it. But not for pictures that everyone else.
As I am learning it makes sense but here's how I think about it.
I'm very supportive of sex work. But I don't want to be tricked or misled.
If you're offering "exclusive" pictures that are taken just for me, I would expect that you don't sell them to anyone else. At that point, I'm contracting you for a specific job and paying for the product.
The crazy ones I've heard about are women looking for sugar daddies on dating websites. They set up profiles like any woman would but as you strike up a conversation, you find out that they just want someone to pay their bills.
So if an OF model is chatting with her fans, you go girl and do your thing. But don't make me think that I'm talking to you when really it's some low-wage employee in the Philippines who's gonna get fired because their upsale didn't work on me.
