Idea: A members' "database" for those seeking privates?

[StanislavJ]

Some models do privates and/or skype shows; some don't. Those that do may consider certain scenarios or fetishes as out of bounds or impractical; some might consider doing things that they hadn't even considered. The burden is on the member to inquire, but if it's something unusual or involved, asking random models is like shooting in the dark. It often produces frustrated members and annoyed models.

What about some sort of "database" in which members could post some brief descriptions of their fetishes, or outlines of specific scenarios they would be seeking? Models interested in doing privates or skypes could browse those postings at their leisure and, if they see something they are willing to do, contact the member and negociate a price and time.

This would help eliminate the member wasting time in a "hit or miss" approach, and alleviate the annoyance to models of handing such requests during shows, or dealing with PMs and e-mails describing the sometimes complicated or far-out "plots" that they may have no interest in dealing with, but that may be perfectly acceptable to other models.

Any merit to this idea?

I'm uncertain on the practicality standpoint. You have to realise that members request privates because they want a private with a specific model - not just 'anyone' who can fulfill a request. I can understand where you're coming from - to make things simpler by setting up an auction-like system, but I honestly don't see it working.

It might just promote the idea that the less boundaries you have, the more successful you will be - as a new model. It's a dangerous idea, and I'd rather not mess with it. Models should thrive because they love their job, and their members love them - not because they are willing to do things other models aren't willing to do (e.g. watch cameras, mic2mic, fetishism stuff, etc).

I think it would be better if there was a queing system that had an escrow feature. A minimum amount (e.g. 300tks) would be deducted, and the token count would start draining from 5 minutes in. It may also have additional criteria like 'must have nudity' or 'must have penetration'.

I see that as the best compromise. That's my two cents. *EDIT - added a little in

While its not as involved or specific as a 'database' for models to 'shop' and offer service to "clients" .... isn't it basically the same thing if a model or member has their key words or 'tags' listing what she likes to do and what the member likes ? :confusion-shrug:
Unless a member is only wanting some sort of narrow view of whats he/she's after and not to enjoy wandering about to make new friends and see what the smorgasbord here has to offer [and possibly finding a new kink :mrgreen: ] seems there's plenty of search ability already. Personally, I'm more interested in the model as a person first, than whether she likes to be spanked with a whatever or has a fuck machine. :twocents-02cents:

and yes, I'm speaking only of mfc.

I think I should have clarified. I'm talking specifically about the models under financial pressure who may accept an otherwise discomforting request. I'm really talking in the context of MFC here, where the clients develop a more intimate relationship through private chats as opposed to using it purely as interactive porn.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying - there's plenty who aren't going to oblige for money, and there's plenty who would be willing to explore their sexuality a little further - but I'm concerned for those who would do it solely under financial pressure, i.e. unable to make rent due to the post-2008 economy. It's not uncommon to see models struggling for their piece of the pie, and I'm concerned that the proposed feature would make it worse by encouraging a different mindset.

I'm still a little hazy on the proposed system - could someone briefly summarize? My understanding is basically like a craigslist thing with requests and a set amount of tokens offered in exchange for 'x' services. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a little confused on my own train of thought myself. I'll respond a little later.

I'm thinking just a space where one could post brief scenario outlines (with a word limit -- don't need a "script" at that point, just the gist) and a model could respond by saying "Sure, I'll do that for X tokens" or "I'm possibly interested; tell me more" or anything in-between. Just a contact thingie that gives the general idea up front, then leaves model and member to hash out specifics, time, price, etc. They may or may not reach an agreement, but the advantage is that for a model to even respond already indicates some degree of interest, and, to my mind, gives the model a bit more proactive status -- she is seeking out potential "jobs" as much as the member is seeking to have his fantasy played out.

Honestly, I think it's an awesome idea! I tried a couple times to make threads here with "do you know what fetishes models will do?" so that people who are embarrassed about their fetish can find out, but that way would be so much easier.

And as was stated before... models who are desperate for money will end up doing things they're uncomfortable with out of desperation with or without this sort of site. Maybe a site like this would give them a tool to find members who are looking for things they aren't uncomfortable doing. It would help models who are looking to expand their horizons, and members who are shy about asking because of the rejection.

My thoughts: make it sectional. That way, a model willing to do feet fetishes doesn't end up looking through 5 million scat fetish videos. (I'm willing to do golden shower vids, but anything involving scat is a traumatic trigger for me)

There could be broad categories, but there must be a "miscellaneous" as well. Because ("Rule 34") anything that can be fetishized has been, and there's no limit to the number of very specific, esoteric fetishes that fall into no perceivable category. :-D

I had a guy take me private to smash a whipped creme pie in my face. I am convinced anything can be sexual to anyone.

That's not even obscure -- just google the acronym WAM (wet and messy) and you'll find that messy fetishes involving pies, slime, and all manner of edible and non-edible substances comprise a major fetish sub-category!

 

[StanislavJ]

Another thought: I might suggest that such a service or forum be set up in such a manner as to give registered models full read access, but for members only allowed to post and not read (except their own posts). This is because many members are very private about their kinks, and allowing anyone to read about them could expose them to ridicule and abuse from fellow members.

There's also no need for models to be able to actually post or respond -- the idea is that the member provides a contact method (e-mail, etc.) and all contact/discourse/negociation takes place through private channels apart from the fetish database. It would just be a forum to make fetishes known to the models -- not a fully interactive service.

 

[Evvie]

I don't see a problem with this, except it seems to me like it would be a system only for fetishists. So yeah, it would probably operate with the understanding that it's a place to fulfill fetish requests.

Personally I would probably use a service like that, it would be easier to find things I'm comfortable with and willing to do.

The only issue I see:

Is this a live constantly-refreshed thing or do members post a request and then wait for a few days for a model to see it? Because the one thing I have always hated was scheduling a private and waiting for guys to be late or skip out. (And by the time the private show comes around, would I even be interested in fulfilling that fetish anymore?)

Sounds to me what you want is really a dating service for cammodels, not in that you're looking for actual dates, but matches based on compatibility. Obviously works both ways, cammodels can search for compatible viewers as well.

We already can do this, it's called putting a fetish list on our profiles.

I love this idea. My profile is basically as big as my fucking cock. [Which is fucking huge BTW]. I don't need to add anymore to it, in fact, I'm surprised anyone even reads it now. There's not enough tag spaces either...
