I decided to start this thread after reading Bluestraveler's trip report on his time in Costa Rica.

He told about how getting out his video camera really heated some girls up, and how he too enjoyed documenting his sessions. I know that the camera can be a big turn on for both the taker and the tooken, but I more know it from reading not from my own experience. As I said on the other thread, I can't really imagine wanting to take pictures or girls getting off on having me do so.

But I'm always interesting in new ways to interact with las chicas, so I thought I'd ask the board for their stories and thoughts on the psychology of filming and photographing working girls.

What has surprised you about doing it? Do you share the results with the girls? What's the best and worse thing that's happened to you when you put as camera into the equation? What's the difference on the session between taking pictures and video? If using a camera with the girls excites you, why do you think that is? Why do you think it excites them? What kind of girls go for it, and what kind might be turned off by it? How common do you think it is in your venue for someone to ask a provider if he can get her on film? Do you have to pay more, or is the camera a bonus? How do you think the girls think about the whole picture taking thing?

I know everybody's mileage varies, so I'm just spewing out as many questions as I can think of in the hope that I'll get some stories and thoughts of fellow mongers on what is added when a camera is added to the session.

I am wondering where is the best place to develope film if you take some steamy, xxx photos?? I don't do my own developing and I assume you cannot take them to Wal Mart. Is it best to develop them before returning to the U.S.? Is it illegal to return with xxx photos? How do you guys do it? I don't have a digital camera. Thanks.

I think if you're "serious" about the extension of this "hobby" into photo-taking, an investment into a digital camera is a good idea. They run the spectrum of prices (I just bought a $59 one for my nieces that USBs directly with the computer and is easy to use) but I would go at least as high-end to get the viewing screen on the back. EVERY chica I have taken pictures of loved that they could see themselves on the little TV screen! Removable media is nice too so you can remove the "card" while going through any border check so your "work" can't be readily viewed.

Buy a good quality digital camera, at least 1.3 megapixel, and take a laptop computer with you on your trip. Take the photos and download them into your computer in .jpg form. Use a program like scramdisk to store your photos in encrypted form and they will be impossible for anyone to view until you unlock the container file in which they are hid. Best security that there is and it's free.

Videos are a different story, but I prefer MiniDV and they are really small, so I have had no problems with them.

The thing that struck me about Bluestraveler's report that made me want to start this thread was his claim that his cameras made it easier to sort of heat the girls up.

So that's what I'm looking for stories and advice about. What is ya'alls experience with introducing a camera into the mongering experience?

To me it would be cumbersome and not worth it. But some claim it's a great turn-on for the girls and I'm curious to hear about the fine points of making it that.

I accidently got started by having a camera sitting on the desk in my hotel room. A chica saw it and asked me to take photos of her including nude photos. Who was I to object?

A bigger turn on is a video camera or digital camera, as the girls love to see themselves afterwards.

I have had a success rate of over 95% with all of the girls I have been with and I have about 15 hours of video doing the wild thing with them too.

I truly believe that if they are comfortable with you, you can do anything with them.

I was one of these dudes who never even gave much thought to photographing chicas, until recently. I was dubious about the working girls actually getting excited about the camera being present. I figured that pictures and videos of the girls would require lots of arm-twisting (figuratively) and/or lots of additional propina (tip).

Recently, in the course of a week, I've had two TJ chicas (one from CC, one from AB) suggest that we start recording things. Both were favorita's of mine who I've repeated with numerous times.

The first chica has been making more and more requests about stuff she likes to do en la cama, never mind what I want! She was in the middle of giving me yet another incredible BJ. She paused, looked at me, and said that I should bring my camera next time.

With the second chica, we had just been assigned a room at CC. It happened to be one of the rooms that has porno videos showing. (There are 4 rooms like this at CC). The chica asked me if I had ever made a video with a girl, having sex with her, before. I admitted that I had not, but thought it could be fun. She noticed that I looked a little nervous. She smiled wryly and proudly admitted she had made a video before. She went into elaborate details about how she set the camera up, used the remote control, repositioned the camera, etc. She said that she and her friend both kept a copy. She stated that it had been "all her idea" and that she had to talk the guy into doing it with her. She seemed to be gettin' off on the fact that I was a little stunned by all this.

Once I get over my stage fright, I may have to venture into this arena... I gotta get a digital camera or video cam pronto!

I should add that I'm in my early 40's and not exactly Robert Redford. Neither has asked for additional $, so this just seems to be the natural progression of things. So my conclusion is that you don't necessarily have to be a young stud or wealthy propina provider to play this game.

It might just be that lots of dudes get offered this stuff at some point, and that I'm not doing anything special beyond being a regular customer.

Or it may be one of the following that has got them into photographic medium mode: First, I often keep my naive, newbie demeanor to some extent in the mongering world. I think both of them see me as sexually conservative, and they are into shocking the hell out a nervous and naive "virgin." I make sure that they are constantly aware of how much they are taking me to new places and blowing me away sexually (even when they are not, LOL). I'm gonna keep up this act as long as I can.

Or, perhaps, the other thing I have, which may be relevant here, is LOTS of staying power. Both chicas have mentioned that most dudes complete the deed in under 7 minutes, and that this is not enough time for them. (Theres never a "Feeennnisshhh" from these two...). I pretty much like all positions, and so we tend to do lots of things during our long sessions. I've even taught THEM a few positions (never mind the "newbie" attitude). So maybe they'd like to make diversified video portfolios of all their good work! I dunno.

I'm sure that all the more experienced posters on this board have much better stories than this, as I haven't actually recorded anything yet. The many pictures and videos available here are testament to this fact that y'all really know what you are doing. I even gather that some of y'all have even worked in the adult film industry, which is a universe away from my reality.

But my situation with these two favoritas has, for me, the feel of one of those Penthouse Forum articles: "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that this would happen to me..."

Thanks Dogster,

This was the kind of story-information I was looking for when I started the thread. It really does interest me that chicks get into this. Maybe I'll go there myself some day and start to get a clue why.

Xen and I have video submitted (but not up yet) from a Thailand trip we took in November. (Xen and Dart - Back and Forth - 30 Chapters)

A crucial element is the music. You have to bring good dance music, a variety is recommended, to increase the chance that you'll have a song the girl really likes.

I'll have a video camera on my upcoming Brazil trip. I have a very small Sony Mini-DV that I believe can be had for just over $1000. I'll try to bring back some samples and tips.

Do you notice any defference in girls attitude towards having their pictures taken based on what country you are mongering in?
