Many persons in and outside the showbiz industry have in so many times , tagged Entertainers as flirts,womanizers, Promiscus, prostitutes etc.
How True ?
Entertainers range from Musicians, Actors, Filmmakers, comedians, to models. It is a lime-light friendly career and as such meeting new persons every day is a norm ,and the quest to ‘’mingle ‘’ ‘’flirt’’ is quite Enormous male and female alike, Entertainers have a high tendency to flirt or prostitute either for money, opportunities or mere Self pleasure.
Are models prostitutes?
This is a very big question I will try to proffer an answer to in my almost 10years around models. Models have quite the highest rate of promiscuity & flirtatiousness amongst Entertainers, not because they earn the most, but because an average model is desperate and purpose un-defined.
People get into modeling undefined , simply may be because some persons tell them how ‘’model like‘’ they look or walk, some because their friends or siblings have ‘’made’’ it, modeling, others simply because they love the concept of being called a model, or the perception that models get freebies and fame.
This mindset tends to lure models into series of sexual melo dramas.
What do “models” prostitute for?
In no particular order of importance, an average model will likely flirt or prostitute for the following under listed reasons:
1. Money: Money truly makes the world go round, and as they say ‘’Cash rules everything around me’’, this is one major reason models Can go all out to give out their body.
With the right pay sum, a model fetches money to pay her unending, ostentatious personal bills e.g make up kits, shoes, bags, jewelries, clothing, e.t.c. some go ‘’charitable’’ by taking friends to club and buying the most exotic of drinks as to gain the attention of newer potentials clients in the club who will likely replenish their expenses at the end of that night, when they go private.
This category of models usually hide under the auspices of ushering, social escort, hostesses , pageant beauty Queens. e.t.c.
2. Opportunities – Though opportunities may have financial rewards at the end of the day, but most models will give out their body when presented with sultry opportunities e.g a trip to Dubai, Paris Joburg e.t.c., some will do same, for a night out with celebrities, government officials, oil industry moguls.etc.
Opportunities also come in form of model job slots for ushering, runway, vixens e.t.c., models become vulnerable when there are strict audition /casting procedures. And will rather want to circumvent by using their bodies to give such opportunities or position when presented.
This is prevalent in most beauty pageants especially, where tickets need to be sold out to meet the requirement of the organizers or to gain a crown.
3. Self-Pleasure-This may sound ridiculous with the level of self-deceit that exist in the industry, but most models in addition to the reasons listed earlier, indulge in sex gratifying acts for the soul purpose of self pleasure.
True Story: I have a female model friend who left Benin to meet a Music video director in Lagos, who had earlier contacted her on Facebook for a portfolio build up photo session, to cut the long story short, she slept with the music Video director after a long day actual photo shoots, when I ask her why? She simply said “He was cute jor!” And that alone was the basis for sex? Correct me if I am wrong, not all models are victims of harassment, coerciveness, or black mail to sex, some simply have that nostalgia to flirt.
Every top model I have encountered (Oh yes, I have met a lot of them) and I have graciously conversed with on very friendly notes, have confessed to me one sexual escapade or another as models, little no wonder people see models as prostitutes no matter the aspect of modeling being undertaken.
WHAT DO I THINK OF MODELS?
-In my candid opinion, I honestly do not think an average model is a prostitute, if they truly define what they are modeling for.
The aspect of modeling one decide to join also those not literally mean, such a person must prostitute, it is a mind factor, the discipline of self in the presence of temptation and luring conditions makes a whole difference.
– I do know a beauty Queen who is a virgin, we also have seen girls who back out of pageants when the ‘assignment’ became demeaning, or out of their moral status.
-I know its rare, but I do believe some social escorts/Atmosphere models have boundaries to what service they can render at any given job offer.
-Fashion Runway Models Are Not Left Out; as I have come to know that they are so prone to flirting for opportunities the most. Oh yes!
– Commercial Editorial Models– this model category usually should have little or nothing to do in the sexual arena, but it is a man’s world and beauty is catalyst to sexual tendencies, so they also affected unfortunately.
“Don’t hate the player, hate the game”, it is a thing of choice and it differs from person to person, Modeling is like every other noble career, the players make the difference.
