Increase in number of Younger Singaporean Nude Models?

[avantas]

Hi everyone

I am a typical lurker in SBF for many years. I enjoy browsing through threads and am very fond of viewing glamour photos of local 'Talents'.

Recently for the past 2 years, I have this feeling that there seemed to be an increase in the number of models or free lances doing nude photography. Originally there was a sizable amount but normally their identities are kept secret, but nowadays a lot of them are identifiable and some are considered public figures.

I was just wondering how you guys/girls think about this.

I believe it would be a continuing trend and the models would simply get younger and younger until they are barely above the legal age of consent.

Personally, I think of it as pretty good cos variety is the spice of life. If there are more "professional" nude models, then competition would naturally have a downward effect on pricing and good quality nude models would be available for earthly people like me. Instead of being available only to the ang moh expatriate on some higher than heavens salary package who lives in his own condo.

If people were to ever ask me how I would feel if a cousin/ daughter/ girlfriend of mine were to tell me they are taking a career as a nude model what I would think. I would say that it's great cos you may not qualify to be a good one when u are more advance in age.

Regarding whether this is a morality issue, I would generally believe it is a grey area since prostitution and social escorts are all over the place and nude photography is equivalent to soft porn with a glamour twist. Would it make a father feel better if his barely 18 daughter is showing her nude body to her teenage boyfriend for free then being paid to do a nude photoshoot?

Please, let us have an interesting sharing of viewpoints.

Girls are alot more materialistic nowadays and they are more open to taboo areas in which case is nude photography. Nude photography generates quite a sizable income for girls feed their needs e.g branded goods, shopping, clubbing etc etc. I would know because im 17 and have acquaintances that are involved in nude photography. Normally they don't get their parents approval because they need the money and they will know their parents will object. SG society is competitive nowadays for adults so it's hard for teens like us to get high monthly allowance so of course we will turn to nude photography for the good looking and wild ones. You earn money, get a portfolio. Try new things. Kill 3 birds with 1 Stone leh.

Basically a lot of the sites are referenced off threads from SBF. You can find them in the "Local Model in moments of lust" thread.

But wow, I am pretty surprise by your reply cos I always thought that the age group is like pass 18. This is the first time I hear from someone that said that the models are below 18.

We are rapidly closing the gap between Singapore and Japan.

Normally we think of it as part of an act, but after enquiring with some Japanese friends I realise that despite it being filmed, the act of picking up someone off the street to do nude shoots or porn in Japan is quite common and a lot of times, the girls are actually students.

Just one question, you have any idea how much ur "friends" are paid for the shoots?

1st thing 1st, they are not my ' friends '. i label them as ' acquaintances '. Big difference. Now nude photography below 18 is still a rather taboo subject from what i know, it's very difficult to find people willing to take this type of photos because this is suan ' outrage of modesty ' as some people will say, punishable by the law.. But somehow or somewhat they do phone to phone transactions, meet up at a hotel and do their ' artistic nude ' shoots. As for the money, i'm not exactly sure so i cant give a specific figure but from what i heard from one of my ' acquaintances ' , it's quite alot.

Why are they lured?

Simple, cos' of $$$...

Unfair to say a sizable amount does nude, but some does. It all depends on the mentality of the girl. For some, you'll have to earn their trust, before they are willing to strip. While most would do it for the right amount of $$$.

It all boils down to $$$. I remember quote from the million dollar man (ex wrestler): everyone has a price.
Most of the time, he's right.

I feel it cant be entirely due to money since there are rich man in the previous 10 years as well.

I think it has something to do with the change in mentality of local girls. Modesty is nothing compare to cold hard cash nowadays

You neglect to think about certain technological changes that have taken place. Namely the affordability and ease of use of high end Digital SLRs.

Anyone can buy a Nikon DS or Canon EOS system and voila you have a budding photographer. Take away the need to have a dark room and without the need of sacrificing privacy with a commercial developer, you have it so easy for a new breed of amateur nude photography enthusiasts.

Once there is demand, supply will subsequently follow. Economics 101.

Of course with the more relaxed norms in this decade + a much more openly materialistic society, you get more ladies willing to push the envelope.

The increased availability of a item/service does not in anyway mean the price will go down. Diamonds for example, the price is artificial you can buy a 100$ diamond but you sure as hell cant sell it for 90$

likewise the increased sexual openess of our youth does not mean the average man is gonna pay less for sex any time soon. Look at the FL dome, prices go down for local yet? nah... didnt think so.

The age rubberstamp means sweet fuck-all: a person could be unable to take care of oneself at 30 whereas a 14 year old would be already out there "hit sky bottom".Who is more mature, the 30 year old live at home with mum or the 14 year old running around on the streets?

The father of the 18 yr old nympho has only one thing to remember: way back when HE was the one lookin for 18 year old pussy, he didnt give a shit about the dad of his steady. so why complain now?

I gurantee you almost no other reply in this threat will be as long as this (THREAT THREAT Thread) yeah i miss spell on purpose

Couldn't follow the gist of your argument Johnston, but pricing of diamonds are a special exception to most supply-demand economics because the supply side is so heavily controlled by a single producer.

[Johnston]

*mumbles - supply - demand shit

1) number of hot chyx in singapore aint that high compare to other place, example Toyko / Los Angeles

+

2) sexual openess of said women absolutely fucking zero

=
Commercial sex with local wimmenz : pay lots money.

a slight increase of factors one and two wont help, only when the nymphos are running around sg will the price drop dramatically.

The diamond issue is far more complicated than that, but lets just leave it at:

Goods/services may not only b highly-priced because they are WORTH the high-price, you are attracted to them precisely because of the price and if it drops you wouldnt want to buy it either

[closetspacefull]

Wasn't disagreeing or agreeing with you, just you weren't really clear in your first post and seem to disagree with the concept of supply-demand economics. Second post you seem to be trying to talk about about Giffen goods as far as I can tell.

Why mock basic economic theory if you're going to spout them albeit unclearly and with interesting spelling? Oh well. Drifting off topic. Sorry.

Just having some fun. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Wonderful!!

This is becoming an interesting discussion. I agree the proliferation of cheaper DSLRs does increase the market demand for local nude models.

I'm just wondering how far the trend would go.

In my youth I once watched a Japanese pervert porn that has a really wierd plotline where the female lead had a scene where she wondered why she was never targeted by "molesters" since she considered herself as quite attractive and was jealous when she found out someone she knew that was not as pretty (from her point of view) got molested instead.

This is a pretty unusual mindset to develop but it does make me wonder if one fine day, any local model would feel left out if nobody bothers to propose to her to do a nude photo shoot.

For the cost, I would generally believe the locals would become cheaper as time goes by, but I doubt they would ever become cheaper than some of the foreign models since the innovation in getting a local is that they are harder to get than foreigners.

cheers
