And it’s always been guys. Girls have all been friendly. Actually, every spanko woman I’ve met in person here in the UK has at one point in her life made a spanking film or a set of stills, or has pro-subbed. Every One. It might have been 25 years ago, it might have been a one-off experience, but here you go: I haven’t met one UK female who didn’t see a piece of modelling action. So, no prejudiced babble was coming from them.

Men? OMG Spanking models are only in it for the cash, spanking models are all on drugs, spanking models who are not on drugs are in it because they’ve failed at everything else in life. A spanking model’s opinion can’t possibly be valid, because she’s got a hidden agenda. Marry a spanking model? No way! Some guys really take the Madonna/Whore divide into a new dimension. I wouldn’t mind so much if they didn’t say “present company excluded”. OK, thanks, I guess I’m an exception – what about my model friends, then?

I haven’t had quite as much trouble with vanilla outsiders because many people have no clue what a spanking model actually does, so there’s a lot less stereotyping going on.

If I can’t say who is typical in the scene, I’d very much like to know what images the outsiders have built up about us.

Outside the kink or outside the industry?

It still seems like the typical spanking model is slim, small breasted pre-pubescent looking. Not all of them by any means, but that does seem to dominate because that’s what a lot of guys are looking for. And that’s cool. But as a woman wanting to watch spanking porn, it’s not as appealing.

Hmm…hope I didn’t rant too much. ;)

If a kinky girl happens to show up asking for a job – that’s a bonus, but there are lots of non-kinky models.

That’s a subject for a completely separate rant :)
