Frequently Asked Questions
How
much are your models paid?
Our
models are paid up-front for their work. The up-front fee
is based on several factors, but averages between $400 and $2,500
per shoot (about $75 to $400 per hour). Most shoots take
2 to 6 hours to complete. The pay increases or decreases
depending on how much material we shoot, the type of activities
performed, and the estimated marketability (appeal) of the model
to our consumers. All of these factors are determined by
Alex, and an estimate and guaranteed minimum can be given at the
start of each shoot.
Also, on occasion, Alex issues bonuses
to the Fire Girls. This could be in the form of free meals,
Christmas bonuses, free clothing or toys, even paying bills for
girls who are in a jam. All of the above have happened many
times. These are gratuitous, voluntary gifts by Alex (and
Fire House Productions) to help girls who have helped him,
and are not deducted from what the models earn, and are not subject
to taxation (Alex pays the taxes on these gifts).
How
is this different from prostitution?
Prostitution
is having strangers pay you for intimate access to your body.
Firegirls.com is paying for the right to record you in erotic,
consensual situations, engaging in acts of your own choosing,
with individuals you have chosen because you know and trust them.
Firegirls.com is a rewarding, personal experience for our models,
not a personal violation in exchange for cash.
I'm
afraid of being recognized,
so how could I model?
If
you do the math, with the tens of thousands of girls out there
making porn for online consumption these days, several out there
already look like you. Long before Peanut, Sidney and a
few of our other models ever got naked for a camera, friends of
theirs approached them with pictures they found on the internet
and said "Is this you?" No, it wasn't them.
On four occasions men have written
to me, asking me to write to their wives or girlfriends to convince
them I'm someone other than their guy. The point is: there
are oodles of people in the world who look just like you.
Even if you don't do porn, someone will think they see you.
You shouldn't worry about being recognized. If it really
frightens you that much, you shouldn't be reading this page.
Even
if someone you know does see you online, you have the following
reassurances:
-
People
viewing your nude body in fantasy material usually will
not equate you with the clothed person they regularly see,
unless you have some bizarre tattoo on your forehead.
-
If
you're young (18 to 23), in half-a-dozen years you'll probably
look different.
-
Pornography
is more widely consumed and tolerated than is generally
believed. It's only a big disgrace to grandma... or
perhaps not even to her. Your parents and grandparents
are not as pure as they pretend.
-
You
usually won't be recognized unless you're working on camera
with someone that's generally seen with you, such as a husband
or friend. Working with one of our models (not known
to your acquaintances) reduces your identifiability.
-
If
someone you know does recognize you, that individual was
looking for images for sexual fantasy in the first place.
If
you do not want your parents, your friends or your coworkers
to know, DON'T TELL ANYBODY. Knowing someone who does
hardcore porn is NOT something anyone can keep secret.
If you tell a friend or roommate, he/she will tell one person
who doesn't know you, and that person will tell everyone (some
of whom WILL know you, and then the cat will be out of the bag).
If this is something you want to do, make it your own, fun secret.
Why
do I need a contract to model with you?
The
contract protects both you and us. The contract guarantees you
a certain rate of pay for the work you do, plus, it specifies
what it is you're willing to do, and with whom. The contract also
spells out rules of conduct. With everything written out, everyone
can worry less about uncertainties and miscommunication and focus
on the creativity. The contract doesn't prohibit you from
working in other areas of adult entertainment, it only excludes
you from attempting to create a virtual copy of Firegirls.com.
You
should never do any modeling work for anyone without
a contract that specifies the following:
- Who
the agency and it's administrators are
- Where
the agency's legitimate office location(s) are
- What
you're agreeing to do (or not do)
- How much
you're going to get paid
- When
you're going to get paid
- How the
images will be used
Also,
be sure you understand any exclusivity, availability, disqualification,
noncompete, and cancellation clauses that exist in any contract
before you sign. Don't let some smooth-talking, innocent-looking
camera guy trick you into a lousy situation!
Are
you a legitimate business?
Unlike
most adult web sites, Firegirls.com is the product line of a legitimate,
registered, insured, professionally-managed business with bank
accounts, employer ID number, bookkeepers, strategic planning,
contracts, policies, offices, tax accounts, trademarks and the
whole nine yards. We're still a small operation, owned and managed
by models, but we're professional.
So
what makes Firegirls.com different?
Many
things make Firegirls.com unique:
- We pay
better than almost any amateur adult site.
- We're
a legitimate business, not novices with unproven ideas.
- We provide
a mostly-female work environment, where you only work with
people you know and trust (you get to know us before you work
with us).
- Our models
are always portrayed in a positive, consenting, and empowered
perspective.
- The model's
comfort and security is our first concern.
- Strict
social health policies for the protection of our models.
- Our models
may choose or modify the situations they participate in.
- Our models
choose their partner(s) and activities, based on their own
preferences.
- We bring
a high level of creativity to erotic entertainment, making
our own photos, movies, stories, games, and thoroughly researched
and tested sexual information.
- We're
famous for being honest, positive and original.
