Then feel uncomfortable. You're describing yourself, not the punter. Yes Lola wasn't the easiest to deal with, Eva shot most of the content we have.

One of my golden rules... dont touch the models ! Now I do know there is a "old school" thought that says otherwise (yes there really is) for example the likes of David Bailey who reckons he slept with 10,000 of his models lol... so hey maybe it's just me !

So follow your advice or David Bailey's.

But I even refuse to ajust a models clothes or hair... even at her request... let alone shoot a video of me doing it on purpose ! I just dont get it... man at the start of a shoot and people would do things that would set the tone of the rest of the day... not hardly a formula for good results... but hey maybe you can get away with that in places like Prague... ?

Your nervousness feeds into the model, slows the shoot down or gets things wrong. Sorry I work at a higher level. If I want something right and the girl can't get it right I go do it for her. From Adjusting her clothes to adjusting her poses. If she isn't 100% comfortable, she can go home. The doors are never shut.
Again it's about shooting at a level that an editor buys a set. Not always right, right most of the time.

And here's my 2 cents about shooting porn... preperation, have good communication with the model, make sure she understands in advance what is expected, make sure she is confident at the levels you will be shooting (sometimes I deliberatly shoot a model who does harder levels than the ones needed)
When she gets there put her at ease (even if you are a old man like me lol !) I always make a point of looking after the girls... we lay on food and drink... and some of that hip hop music is always good lol...
Speak to the talent about what your looking to achieve again... yes you've briefed them, but doesnt hurt to refresh their mind... having clarity in your own mind and that of the model enhances your chances of getting the results your looking for and those results being maximised.

Good points, thanks for adding them. Yes you need to make a model feel comfortable. Comfortable enough so if you need to adjust her clothing or pose she doesn't think you're a pervert copping a feel. You might shoot a sample in that mode. Like with a girl wearing a site's T Shirt, a site based on the life of an older shooter shooting teen girls. You might shoot the next one with the girls trying to get into your pants. Shooting different samples is what it's about.
I had the advantage of when shooting a timid teen like Lola, I could get Eva to do it. When shooting a girl like
Christine I never had the same problem. Or Sandra who is in the Manwin video.
This needs to be sorted out on the casting. If she's a timid mouse, nothing will change her. Get a girl to shoot her. If she's a tiger, I can shoot her no worries.
