I waited for responses from models, but not a lot seem to be commenting, so I'll make my offer. If a TFP session on the net results in a sale such as you described, ie the Face of Herpes in Hong Kong, or elsewhere, I'll buy dinner and drinks for the model, the photographer and for you. It just ain't gonna happen! As Roger commented, the companies doing that sort of advertising are not surfing the net for either models or photographers. They have deep pockets, very deep pockets, and are organized by major ad agencies.

Years ago, I did a shoot for part of an anti drug campaign; not herpes, but heroin addiction is probably a bit worse than herpes. I know the two commercial models, male and female from Atlanta agencies, were ecstatic about having the gig, from the standpoint of both the pay and exposure in southeastern regional magazines, brochures and still photos in photos in TV ads. Actually I was pretty damned happy to shoot it myself! Neither of the models were at all upset about being portrayed as skaggy heroin addicts. The paychecks were fat and the exposure was excellent.

Another was really happy about having her face on the packaging for an adult 'toy' product. Most models like fat checks!

C'mon Christian, you know you are just being a TFP fear monger with this post. You also know that 99.999% of TFP shoots will never result in a serious sale, unless it's to a porn site. That's easily handled by a model simply by either keeping her knickers on or by keeping her knees together.
