| LaurenLascivious Model  Location United Kingdom Nottinghamshire Hucknall | I've been on this site for probably about 2 years now and I've never arranged a shoot through purestorm, the only things I ever see are castings for porn. I have references on this site from some of the users, but we never used purestorm to arrange our shoots, it was through another site is it worth me being here just to have a presence? |

| tarmoo Photographer  Location United Kingdom Kent Chatham | There is probably more paid work on here than any site for UK models. If you want to get paid work then you really need silver membership so you can add paid casting calls. You also get a much larger quota of messages to contact photographers directly about shoots. I have booked over 100 models for paid shoots, of which about 80% are through Purestorm, including quite a few "alternative" models. As a photographer I find I get twice as many models apply to paid castings here than on NM and about 10 times as many as on Net-Model. I recently put identical castings on here and PP. I eventually got two models reply on PP and over 20 on here, so although some sites appear to have a lot of members, the models tend to be a lot more active on some sites than others. |

| iparker Photographer  Location United Kingdom North Yorkshire York | Not one of my 12 casting calls have been for porn? Are you sure you've not got some sort of filter turned on to show porn only castings? |

| pmeswani Photographer  Location United Kingdom London | On your profile, you state that you are a student. I am just wondering if this is a limiting factor in why you are not getting any photoshoots via here? It could be seen as you will not necessarily be available when the tog requires your services. If that isn't the case, I would be surprised as to why you are not getting any requests. I don't know whether the Membership levels is a valid reason, but will take the word of the other posters here, as I am relatively new here. I must admit that since upgrading to Silver, I have had more models approach me than before. But I am putting that down to coincidence. |

| Hugh Photographer  Location United Kingdom Dyfed Aberystwyth |  Quote from LaurenLasciviousI've been on this site for probably about 2 years now and I've never arranged a shoot through purestorm, the only things I ever see are castings for porn. I have references on this site from some of the users, but we never used purestorm to arrange our shoots, it was through another site is it worth me being here just to have a presence? 'lascivious is a semi-technical term indicating immoral sexual thoughts or actions. It is often used in the legal description of criminal acts in which some sort of sexual activity is prohibited to differentiate that activity from "innocent" conduct. It is often used as one of several adjectives to describe pornography as compared to non-pornographic depictions of sex or sexual themes.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lascivious Maybe start again with a more carefully chosen name? There are quite a few user names on here which make me move on to the next profile immediately. |

I would say the vast majority of castings on PS are non-adult. Of course if your own definition of 'porn' is very wide, that is 'wider than the norm', then you will see more than most. |
