boarhog and pacman, thank you very much for your valuable opinion.
So, the topic of pictures of LBs has been revived by the situation I witnessed yesterday, where Guss approached me, complained that I posted her pictures on internet, and insisted that I delete those pictures. I have never seen a LB so pissed off and at the same time so hysteric.
First of all, I think I do not do porn photo, but erotic pictures. There was one and only one exception - the duo with
Odett and
Fanta - but I negotiated this photoshot and they agreed. I think that the photos I post in this forum constitute a promotion for the LBs. Many of them are natural posers and like the camera. Many really liked that I took pictures of them.
I had several experiences with LBs with respect of photos. Going from asking for more, until a clear and firm refusal without a possibility of negotiation. The one asking for more was
Odett. She loves the camera and likes to pose. When I asked her if she minds her photos posted on internet, she told me: "No. I understand it as a promotion. The pictures boost my barfines" (this is of course a transliteration -
Odett does not speak English so well).
Odett may ask for more money if you take pictures.
The second category are LBs agreeing to photographs, even nude ones, but refusing to show their cock. In this category we have
Cream and Oh, both from Obsession.
The third category are girls refusing naked photos, or asking me "no naked photos on internet". All C&D girls are in this category. As I was in Patong Beach, Puket, more than one week ago, all the girls told me: "You can post ALL pictures taken in C&D, that is a good promotion for us. However, DO NOT post pictures taken in your room. You understand, we have boyfriends (Nicole and Donut speaking) and they might get upset by seeing us nude on internet". OK, I understand and will respect this, even if the nude pictures I took with Nicole and Donut in my room are nice erotic photos of which Triat45 and Hoot could be fond of. (Patricia, on the contrary, is camera-shy altogether in the room).
This is also the situation with Shirley (a Tequila bar knock-out). She told me: "No naked photos on internet, since I have a husband". Hmm, nice! This is the first time I hear that a LB is speaking of her boyfriend/sponsor as her "husband". Of course, I will respect that too.
Also Cartoon (nr 39 from Obsession) is in this category. She first asked me not to post any photos, now she asks not to post naked photos of her. I always try to negotiate with her - the last one was yesterday evening -, telling her "but you are all over internet with your nude photos anyway. You are one of the most known LB stars", but it does not work. I have no explanation for it.
The fourth category are LBs allowing you to take photos where they are dressed. In this category we have
Candy. Even if I tried to negatiate last Monday, telling her "but you have a naked photo pictural on LB69 anyway", she answered "... and that is already too much".
The fifth and last category are LBs who refuse pictures in the room completely. I had the answer from Belle last September: "No pictures, since I have a sponsor in Australia". OK, then no pictures, what can I do. I was pissed off by her behavior, not of her refusal to do pictures.
NOW TO THE MAIN QUESTION.
I always ask whether I can take pictures. I take pictures only if the LB agrees. If there is no other negotiation, I suppose I can post the pictures on this forum. If the LB refuses, I try to negotiate, but I do not insist on taking pictures. If she does not want to, then it is her decision and I respect it. If she poses conditions, I try to negotiate them a little bit, but if they stick to their conditions, I respect them.
Second, the LB69 forum is a so-called closed forum, contrary to other ones. You cannot see the pictures in LB69 without subscribing to the forum. The guests can only read the text, not the pictures. Therefore you also cannot find these pictures only by googling. A membership in this forum means that the member is interested in LBs.
I do not think that the LBs can be blackmailed by third persons showing the pictures to their families. Their families know very well what the LBs do. Their families live from the money earned by them. Moreover, they are not supposed to go back to their villages after 3-4 years of work and "marry" a Thai boy. This is the case of GGs, who categorically refuse pictures exactly for this reason.
I also cannot think of any LB payed by a sponsor/boyfriend/prospective-husband to stay at the village. This is also a GG thing. Of course, no GG does it, but continues to work, therefore she refuses photos completely. The attitude of sponsors/boyfriends of LBs is different, they accept when it does not go over a certain limit (LB's boyfriends reading this forum - please react and give us your opinion). The question is now where the limit is. For me the default is (if the LB does not say otherwise) to post erotic photos. I understand that a boyfriend/sponsor can freak out if he sees a picture of his tilac sucking someone's else cock, but I doubt he would freak out on a nice erotic picture, that promotes his prefered LB.
I also think my pictorals cannot be considered equivalent to a sex-tape of
Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton. These both did erotic photos, especially the first one in Playboy, so a couple of more erotic photos would not harm them. Same for LBs known in Nana bars or freelancers around.
I consider posting erotic photos of LBs on this forum as (1) a promotion of the LBs I met and had a good time with them - I suppose many of the LBs appearing in my pictorals had their barfines boosted - I have only a confirmation from
Odett; (2) a service to our community. I have got many requests for the contacts of the LBs from my trip reports. Please, use them wisely.
It would be for me far more easy NOT to post trip reports. It takes time. First I need to sort out and downsize the pictures. Second, since I am not a native English speaker, it takes me much more longer to write the text.
As a conclusion, Guss agreed to photos in my room without explicitly asking me NOT to post them on internet. I am therefore really speachless and shocked now to see her freaking out, especially if my report on her was positive and she has been voted number one in the poll on my September LBs.
