No nudity?

[timboy]

I have joined a lot of you, pretty Charms, over the last couple of years. And followed even more of you in the free pics.
It has struck me that many of you seem to think it is a good strategy to not show any nudity in the free pics. Or no more than you would show in a cafe by the beach. Maybe thinking that then the audience will rush to the members pages, to see you take your clothes off.
Well, maybe some will. But I suspect many react just like me, i.e. not getting curious.
Why waste time on a model who may turn out not to be quite what we hoped for? Maybe she doesnt get nekkid a lot for the members either. Maybe she's got too much tattoes, maybe she is out of focus most of the time, maybe she only does legs-spread pussy shotz. Maybe this or that.
The smarter strategy is, I think, to have one or two fairly nude pics in every other free pics upload, to show what you've got. Virgo, Lace, Charley, River, Crystal, Nikara, Bell, Bobbie and more all caught me that way. And they kept what they promised.
I am sure there are a few fine beauties here that I missed so far, because the free pics have said so little.
- This is a softporn site, isnt it?
Good luck to you all!

Well we can't show COMPLETE nudity ever. I like to show what is happening in my photo set as a theme/story/etc more than "hey look, I get naked." If you know what I mean? I do understand the worry though, but you can ALWAYS email girls to get the complete scoop.

I dunno if I fit in this category of ladies who don't show enough for you though.. I feel like I show a lot! No, I don't usually show my nips or bush but you can gather what every other inch of me looks like pretty easy I think.

I DO see what you are saying though! Sometimes I browse girls and they are only giving away three free pix in full clothes which makes me wonder.. Does it go STRAIGHT to nudity so you couldn't give away more? Or is it just all that outfit and you didn't want to give away more because it's boring? Or even if they give LOADS of free pictures but they are all completely clothed or really similar poses I worry the rest of the set is that way too.

I can understand your question. When I get photos ready to post, I have to keep asking myself "which do I put where, don't want to give to much away but don't want to totally turn potential members away by not revealing enough for them to know what they'll be getting." I try not to post fully nude in the free but I do try to add 1 or 2 semi/partially revealing pics most of the time.

[Xandusk]

Sorry Rosie, but I end up completely nude in almost all of my updates. And do updates once in a while where the entire update is completely nude, including the free area. We sure can go completely nude.

I do the rare few updates with fully nude pics in the free area, what I will not show in free area is nipples or crotch. I would say if you are concerned about the quality of a girl's pics the free area is representative of what will be found inside. If you are interested in what content is available you can read the Faq or Bio pages, or just search for what you like by the terms.
If you are concerned about tattoos, most Charms have put up bikini or lingerie updates including in their free area so you should be able to tell that ahead of time as well. Most of us with tattoos do list that we have them and are open to talking about them.

Well I have LOADS of free pictures like that, Xan silly. <3 What I meant was we can't show spreads or anything like that.

Sorry, you wrote that we can't show complete nudity ever. That is different from not being able to show spreads in free. We can show spreads in pay though

You can always buy a set if the Charm offers them, or even a vid. Me, I think it's pretty easy to tell by looking at the free pictures as-is if I will be happy. Sometimes you may want to wait & see more than 3 sets of free pics. The only time I was ever"displeased" was when the Charm only has like 5 or so club pics per set; a lot of Charms will tell you though how many pics/vids are in each set. Toughest thing to me is that there are so many beautiful women on SC, it's hard to really check them all out lol.

[innesSC1]

I don't like showing too much off in free because other wise there is no incentive to buy a membership. I make sure I have a few sexy pics in free, and I make sure they represent what is in my set. I usually do pics where I am in my "beginning" outfit - before I take anything off. Sometimes I will have one or two pics of when I have gotten partially or completed undressed but not all the time. I do not want to have too many free naked pics out there. I prefer those pictures to stay in the member's area. I like to treat my members

You know me, I have a bad habit of not typing things they way I mean them.. That's it, I'm gonna start reading over things a bit more carefully before I post them! That is totally my fault for sure.

@Innes: I agree. I like to be giving a LOT more in my members area. Not only to make people more interested in joining but making joining worth it. I feel like if I saw a bunch of sexy, nude free pictures then became a member I'd feel like I wasted my money if I was getting the same thing on the members side. I could have just stayed checking out the free!

I agree with Rosey, Innes and Zandusk on this. What is the use of buying a membership if they are giving away the pictures for free. Most girls will post a nude. Photo every once in a while. I found that getting to know them though E Mail first is always better. If they reply to E Mails then you know they care about there sites. They are interested in what there fans have to say. Most even list what you will see in the members section. The free pictures give you a glimpse into what the members pictures are going. Be like.

[timboy]

Well folks, with me,1 or 2 nude pics I really like will make me want to have 400 more....
The "spreads" I dont care for and often do not open at all. The nude pics that work best for me are the ones where the full figure is in the frame. A pussy is nice in RL, but is for me not a turn on in photo.

Completely right honey. Most of us make sure you can tell our shapes and sizes in our free pics, and we try to let you know what is coming in the update. Be it toys, or fetish clothing or even a guest or two. But there is no point at all in giving it away.
I am thinking timboy, that you would not enjoy my site as I do do spreads as well as hardcore (be it toys or guests) in some of my updates. While I would have some of what you like, it's probably not enough for you.

[bunwiffa]

It's not always a measure of how hardcore (for lack of a better word) a Charm may get in her member section based on what's in the free section, sometimes because the free section is, by order of the set, the first photos in the entire set. Some Charms seem to have more time spent than others fine tuning the free pics, some almost never naked in any way, and others to where it's right on the border. That takes time, it's understandable.

[mickey62]

I agree with Xandusk, the charms shouldn't post all the nudes in free section. There wouldn't be much of an incentive to join that charms site if you could see it in the free section. Personally I like a lot of clothed photos in a sexy dress or skirt with heels, with some teasing shots. Leaves much more to the imagination! At least it does for me. But thats what's nice about this site is that you have so many charms to choose from that fits your individual taste. However there are some charms that only post the min of 3 or 4 free pics of there set and no description at all of what type of photos the set consists of? So if your not familiar with that charm, you wont' know what your getting in members area.

I raise my cup in a toast to you! Very well said.

I always say the best charms take time to also have good text with every update preview. I know it's not the sexiest thing for fans to have to stop to read what's in an update but if it's short and sweet while being informative it's very helpful!

[hook]

I agree with the text. It really helps to set the table. It also says this charm cares about her site. To many just throw a bunch of pictures up and have no text. Plus the text is more bang for the buck.

Interesting replies!
But dont get me wrong anybody, I dont mind if there are spreads at the bottom of the page, it's just that I often find them not too interesting for me. And they may tend to be a bit conventional porn images. I dont go to the usual porn sites, SC is much better! SC has more variation, a more personal touch. Thanks to all charms for that!
(But there are also some charms who do their best to make theirs pics look like professional glamour porn, and indeed succeed. With airbrush finish and all. well,I dont join the glamour sites either - the girls there are pretty but the imagery is boring.)
Is it allowed to post examples of shots with pussy, that I find interesting? Should I ask the charm first?

I may be too critical some times, it may have to do with me working professionally in art and imagery. I also make nude model photo (not for commercial sites or mags). And have realised that the 'amateurs' make the best model pictures!

Actually you should check with any charms before posting her pictures, but as it was stated before they must be free area pictures to be posted on this board. There is no age verification so we can't show anything extreme.

[mickey62]

Thanks for the compliment Xandusk! I also agree some text about the photo set is very helpful. You can probably get a general idea of the photos theme if there are several preview photos, but if only 3 or 4 pics it's hard to tell what the set is like and how many..heck some charms have more free photos than some have in there whole sets.
