(18+) Disqualified for "focus on genitals?!"
So I have been using Model Mayhem since 2008! Their staff continues to get more and more asinine!! I occasionally submit to their "pic of the day" contest as is drives traffic to my portfolio when I win (and often results in more bookings for me, yay!)
When I got this message that my image was diqualified for "focusing on genitals" I was LIVID!!!
On top of this, their "points" system for breaking the contest rules accumulate and they will DELETE MY VIP PORTFOLIO ACCOUNT (which I pay $100/year for....) If I continue my "genitals focused" contest submissions.
i dunno you guys, YOU TELL ME!!!
Does THIS PHOTO look "focused on genitals" to you?!?! CLICK HERE FOR THE PHOTO (beware, there's nudity)
I am so annoyed with MM right now...

I gave up with MM 8 years ago, and never bothered with Model Society
It’s a beautiful, artistic picture. You have a sexy body. Your nips are delightful. Your muff is not visible. The way your skin darkens hides it making it very lovely and very sexy! Go girl! You do great work! 😘🤗
There's been a lot of sites running scared recently. You'll probably seen the email from Model Society from a couple weeks back about how on the advice of their lawyer they are being much more careful about what work shows. As long as we have the current political and economic pressures on such sites based on restrictive religious norms, we're going to see more of this. I'm sadly thinking Bluesky probably won't be able to stay with its current policy for long. X will be immune of course. :)
ugh it makes me so mad....
I'm surprised you are still on MM. I have been told by photogs and models that it is a dead platform. Do you get any work from the site? I'm wondering if that platform is still worth your effort.
I still get about 10% of my bookings from MM
I could hardly see it, They have no right to disqualify You for such!
Do you know what the first thing was that I noticed in the image? The light coming in through the window, then the body shape, then a nipple. I can’t see any genital area at all. And it’s a stunning image. As yours are always. I think mods on several sites (not just MM) have muff radar. They could detect genitals with their eyes closed in a dark room. For some, I suspect that’s why they become mods in the first place. They are blatantly wrong in this case.
ugh you're probably right about the mods!
No, it’s not focused on genitals at all — it’s a beautiful photo! The folks at MM are going nuts, acting like Instagram with their censorship… really unfortunate. Something similar happened with a photo I uploaded to my MM Photographer profile. I submitted an appeal, and they eventually unblocked it.
It’s nice that they listen to your appeal
Ok just saw the photo in question and i have no problem saying and admitting im a bloody pervert. And what my perverted mind focused on more than anything else were your breasts. The last thing my mind were your genitals. But i did notice that the photo is more on the artistic side being that it's in black and white. IMO the jack ass that paid attention to your genitals is the one that has the problem and should red flag himself for a mental issue. They can point to whatever link all day long but one needs to explain to me like I'm retarded on how this photo focus's on your private parts. I don't see it. All i see is an artistic photo shot in black and white to add emphasis on the human body, which is why your face is not included, in my opinion. Rant over I'll go away now.
Dude, I fully agree, I’m so pissed, I left an additional long, super pissed off rant in my fury, and I’m scared to look at the response lol
I gave up paying MM years ago, would love to have the dolt who flagged this beautiful photo explain their decision.
they said because my head isnt in the photo it must be focused on genitals
Beautiful photo,I can't see your kitty.
right?!
The more nudity, the better!🥵
yep
That’s absolutely absurd!!
seriously!
Not at all, not sure what they are talking about. It’s actually very artistic! Sorry to hear you have to deal with this.
i know right? i am losing my shit
