2. Control - you don't want the models having anyone to give them support when you are asking them to do shit that they feel uncomfortable about.
3. Subterfuge - you want to be able to things without having to worry about witnesses, second opinions, critiques, etc.
I have shot enough and worked for enough people - including Max Hardcore - who inspired Danza, Steve Sweet, etc., to know what the dealio is.
If a model is more comfortable or has a partner that gets off on watching then more power to them. If the so-called "spectator" starts interfering with production then kick them both off set. Trust me, I have had my share of problems with boyfriends too... ask Mike South about the time in Vegas when one ran out of the room with my camera. But there is nothing illegal about having a friend, spouse, bodyguard whatever on set, nor is it unprofessional until that person(s) behaves unprofessionally.
You may be shooting porn, and you are right that it should be done with professionalism, but it should also have an element of courtesy and respect for the models so that they feel inspired to do a good "job".

1 I just just don't have performance anxeity I can shoot in a room full of people as I proved in 2002 in florida at that hotel when I banged 2 girls in front of like 500 people
2. 100% I am the director and if some suitcase pimp is going to interfere with what I could have talked her into then I don't want him there everyone knows girls will do more alone than they will with a friend who they have to go see again and talk to again... I don't want those girls.. I want the girls that are able to open up and get dirty on camera.. sometimes that takes some talking into.... and I don't need some fucking idiot there......
reminds me of the idoit that was at an interview years ago.. when I told them what I was going to do to her he lost his mind.. so I told him if he were to be a real man and take care of his girl she would not have to suck cock for money....
3. is just silly that go's with number 2 and personally I could care less about critiques....
while it may not be illegal where you are in LA.. but here in Vegas we have municipal codes that forbid it..... I don't write em I just follow em.....
again I go back to my McDonalds analogy this is a fucking job.... I'm not there to get laid im there to make a disgusting product that filth surfers seem to love since 2001
if I were just looking to get laid I would just hire hookers like I do anyways on days im not filming.....
if a suitcase pimp wants to meet my crew on an interview I have no problem with that what so ever... but on set itself I run a closed set... always will... Ive never had a girl that did not want to shoot again after we filmed once.. no matter how hard I was on her she has a good time with us.....
I'm just to old now a days to deal with the biullshit
