You tell me, should I give up?

[sacha 7410]

I really look like my one picture. You read my posts, so you get a sense of who I am. Do you honestly need to see more? Is there no mystery left in the world?

Seriously, would naked, or half naked pictures of me intrigue you more?

I am considering doing just that.....

I think you should only post what you're comfortable with. Your picture is very nice. If you wouldn't feel compromised by posting pictures that show more of you then I'm sure everyone would be more than happy to see them. ;) But if you feel like it spoils the mystery then don't do it. I don't post nude photos because I want to leave something for only my clients to see (although my pictures still show quite a bit). It's really just a personal choice. I love looking at pictures of beautiful women whether they're nude, fully clothed or somewhere in between.

[Guest ***t***iv***]

don't give up Sacha...

there are ladies with no pics at all on here and you have it right clients see the photo u have & they read ur stuff so, they get a good enough idea! plus its more than u get over the phone so any photos are a bonus as far as I'm concerned. Don't share more than you're willing, and know that whatever you are sharing is already beyond generous of you to share publicly.

 

or maybe if you decide you do want to show more, set it so that only friends can see ur profile! or show/send pics to clients who want to book.

 

or, just give more descriptive information. write about how you look lol

 

describing woman's bodies is very erotic ;)

 

just saying, find other ways to vamp it up if you don't want to show more, its admirable and I'm sure there are plenty of gents that find it's to their taste to see a lady who doesn't bare all! (maybe use that in ur marketing lol)

 

good luck!

Yeah I have the one cleavage shot and that works for me. I have an aversion to having alot of pics floating around the net. Do what works for you and dont worry about what anyone other then you thinks.

I think the first thing you have to decide is if you're comfortable with posting your photos. If the answer is yes then it is an economic decision. If you want to generate more dates this is just one of the tools you can use to promote yourself.

[cometman 35115]

One more picture would be nice......of those green eyes, you green eyed German beauty. As for the rest, surprise me.

Have to agree with Boomer, you have to do what you are comfortable doing

I'll add one more thing, whatever you decide, if you decide to add more photos, once on the internet, it's there to stay. Just something to keep in mind should you decide to add more photos

Whatever you decide, good luck

[Guest N***he**Ont**y]

Sacha I found your photo in your album section with those long raven tresses of you very arousing. One more photo in a classic way would help you I beleive. Remember showing less is more. Danke

[The General 11309]

I wouldn't say half naked pictures are necessary, but it looks like your photo is almost 2 years old, so they should be updated with some frequency and it would be helpful to have more than one and show the whole you, clothed is fine.

 

But, I agree with others, that you should only do what you are comfortable with.

[Meg O'Ryan 266444]

Never, EVER, give in to any type of pressure. Be who you are cause you are amazing and no photos could ever capture your true nature. You have created an amazing example of branding and unless you want to switch things up cause you feel the need, you don't have to bow to the pressure. Those who find fault are not those you wish to spend time with!

Exactly. You can either pander to the picture collector or the client who can't make a move without seeing 6 dozen shots, with updates every 3 months, or the clients who are looking for more. I don't want to see the sort of client who needs frequent picture updates before they finally make a decision to see me. They seem to me to be very high maintenance, and I prefer a client who is easygoing and relaxed, or looking to relax.

 

My advertising started in the papers, one line ads, then again all text with a bit more info. I prefer the clients who look for more than a naked crotch shot to make their decisions, to be a bit graphic. I put 3 pics into my ads, and get calls wanting more, or a face pic, or whatever and I will just blow them off. There is enough info already to invest a little time to knock on my door, someone who asks for more is unlikely to book appts, but they will contact you over and over again asking for more pics.

 

 

 

There is a way to compromise. If you only have one picture, then a couple more of tasteful photos will not hurt, especially if your photo is out of date. Once you have 2-3 photos you are happy with, then anyone asking for more is sent to your ad or gallery, those are all there will ever be, and they will just have to be satisfied with that. Front, side, back, what more does anyone need? lol

Well said. I don't deny that I look at the photos on a lady's profile/website

but at the end of the day, does that decide for me who I'm going to see...no. And a tasteful photo leaving lots to the imagination is IMHO so much more sexy than explicit nude shots, leaving nothing to the imagination. I read the lady's posts on CERB (I now stick to CERB), her website, plus any emails/pm's exchanged. That gives me an idea of who the lady is, and whether she is someone I'd like to meet, whether we'd click or not

A quick rambling

I agree with much of what has been said here ... You need to do what you are comfortable with. At the same time, however, photos have become an indispensable marketing tool in this biz. I agree completely that they do not need to be explicit, but if you don't have any, or only one or two, you are definitely putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage.

 

Let's face it, this biz is about selling a fantasy, and pictures are an important component of creating that.

[Juice 2105]

Why not post some more pictures? It is very helpful for the client who is trying to decide whether to spend $200 or whatever amount on you. He had to work for that money, and only has so much of it. Do SPs want people to show up surprised and decide to decline the date? That wastes everyone's time.

 

At the end of the day, looks are a large part of what appeals to men -- nature decided that a long time ago.

[Secrets of Victoria 7208]

I think having the mystery is great.

There is no reason to have any more pictures, unless it's something you really want to do.

No one should ever pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do.

Considering that the guys want 'more pictures, I start asking them to send pics to me, when they get really pushy with it.

After all, they know what we look like, but 98% of the time, we have no clue what they are like.

Do what you feel is right for you, and make the decision based on what you feel, not on what someone else wants.

[Athos 108589]

I don't think you should put pics on simply to satisfy people who are demanding more. However, if you aren't getting the volume and type of clients you want (and I don't know if this is the case or not) then it seems to me it's worth thinking about your marketing strategy overall, including the role of photographs.

 

I'm afraid I interpreted Sacha's original post more in these terms, and perhaps I was mistaken. I've never asked a lady for more pics. I assume she's put into circulation the one's she is comfortable sharing.

[CristyCurves 169032]

I had to respond as the whole picture thing was a big worry to me ,when I started I was worried about being found out so I used pics that I thought resembled me,but were not me,very bad idea,then I posted a few pics that I took myself,I was then asked countless times to provide more,I gave in to pressure,then I began to get asked how come I don't get professional photos,if you look at my profile I have many pics,some fairly explicit,I have to say I regret doing them,I wish I had left more to the imagination,but still get requests for face pics,since I don't show it,all in all you will never satisfy everyone,nor should you try,only do what will make you happy in the end.No one should have to display all of themselves to gain business, if a man isn't intrigued by what you are providing,then he is not for you.I sometimes wonder if their are alot of voyeurs out there that are just wanting to view naked women and not make dates.

[Guest W***ledi*Time]

It is true that photos can help attract business. All decisions about how to market yourself are of course entirely yours, Sacha.

[rideauboy 220]

I have been here on CERB for about 3 years. I have followed your " intellectual " message .You have an amazing presentation and unless you are feeling you are not getting enough clients , just keep doing what you have done. We have never met and I have a regular lady who I adore. Yet of all the daily listings , yours has been the one I find the most fascinating and have often been tempted to meet you. The very fact you have been in business this long and here on CERB should be sufficient for any smart man who knows what it is really all about .... we may yet meet !!

[peteman587 100]

There is a lot to be said for "leaving it to the imagination" My vote is don't change anything in your album. There is so much more to you than just good looks.

[Guest Ou**or**n]

There are many different ways to market yourself. Even big companies with professional managers try different things. I remember when Honda introduced a new Accord a few years back they just showed quick glimpses in the ads.

 

For myself as a 'purchaser' I'll give you just my completely own personal opinion. I am a somewhat visual creature and I see escorts for sex. It is important to me to get an idea of what the lady looks like before I will book. I don't need nude pics - sexy clothed pics can convey many different types of things.

 

There is a reason the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue sells so well.

[Phaedrus 209521]

I really look like my one picture. You read my posts, so you get a sense of who I am. Do you honestly need to see more?

 

Need? No. Want? That's another matter entirely :)

 

Is there no mystery left in the world?

 

Less and less. Sometimes this is a good thing; sometimes it isn't. It's good to know what our politicians are up to, but I suspect that's not what you're thinking of...

 

Seriously, would naked, or half naked pictures of me intrigue you more?

 

Intrigue? No, probably not. Titillate and arouse? Yes, but that's not what you asked.

 

I am considering doing just that.....

 

I'm not sure whether you actually *wanted* everyone to chip in with their advice, but since everyone else has, I will too: don't (unless you really want to).

 

It really doesn't sound like you *want* to post pictures of yourself displaying more flesh; it sounds like you're just utterly pissed off with constant requests for them. Obviously I'm not and never have been a SP, but I get the feeling that this is just the sort of douchebaggery that goes with the territory, and you can't do much about it.

 

There's only one person whose opinions matter on what pics you post, and that's you. Put up as many or as few as you like, showing as much or as little skin as you wish. As for the age of the pic... who cares if it was taken two years ago? Provided you still look more-or-less the same so that you can't be accused of bait-and-switch, I don't see that it matters in the slightest. I'd imagine that what really matters here is what you're comfortable with, and how you want to market yourself.

 

Finally: don't believe for a moment that you can ever satisfy the constant lust for more. You post topless, we'll want naked. You give us a pic of your ass, we'll want to see your pussy (CERB doesn't allow it? Email it to me, then!). You post pics baring all, we'll ask for vids. Don't go down that road. Do what *you* want, and let everyone else go... well, just ignore them, okay? :)

[Luckyme 41401]

I always find your posts/ads. intriguing - I especially like the jokes. I think and believe you are a fascinating person.

 

My suggestion is - you may want to vary or change your photo with your ad. once in a while. Adding a few more in your profile will not hurt either. They do not need to show a lot of skin. Some tastefully-done photos in swimwears that can show your body shape a bit more will definitely help.

 

Good luck, Sacha.

[Andee 220524]

I try to put myself in the other person's shoes, and since a client is paying us the big bucks, I would like to give them an idea of what they are getting. My pics are "what you see is what you get" (although I did slim down a bit recently) without showing my face or showing too much nudity.

 

However, when I advertise in print media where there are no pics and I have to describe myself on the phone, rarely have I been refused (it has happened twice at my incall in 6 years and the last time as an outcall was back in the 90s when I worked for an agency.

 

For online site like CERB, I post pictures as well as a link to my website with more pictures. I believe I have enough pictures from different angle which is why I refuse requests such as "do you have any more pics". Fortunate One made a good point about picture collectors.

 

I guess I don't understand the logic in not posting pictures of your body, but willingly doing so of your face (usually it's the other way around). I don't think you can really blame the guys for asking to see a pic and I know for some (not all) that would be the deal breaker.

 

However if you were to consider posting a pic, perhaps one full body shot wearing something seductive but not too revealing would be suffice. I think a woman always looks more sexy with some clothing on and to ask to see more "flesh" is just plain rude.

 

I guess bottom line is do what you feel comfortable with.

[explorer69 3513]

I don't understand why anyone puts a full face shot on here? You can never remove it from the internet, and you may regret it for the rest of your life when you retire as a SP (Think children and spouse). No picture = deniability ("you must be confusing me with someone else")Of course I love the photos and it influences my decision. But I rely on reviews more.

What many SPs on this Board forget is that there is another Board in Ottawa. Many of us cross-reference. I come here for photos and get a sense of personality but go to the other Board for more "trustworthy " reviews. Bad reviews on the other Board will affect your business, more than good ones on this Board. If your reviews are poor on the other board, get some of your reliable supporters to post an "honest'(not sugar-coated) review on the other Board.
