That said, I think we all know that sex between a director and models happens, probably a lot more than any of us think or care really. Sex that is consentual between a model and a director is one thing. Having a model in for an interview, that you get to fuck for your own pleasure, is something completely different on the other hand. That seems like a set up on the directors part to get laid here and there. There are plenty of studios who don't have interview processes, and there are also plenty who never meet the model before picking them up at the airport.

Even if a company does face to face interviewing before giving jobs, you can tell usually right when the model walks in the door if he has the fit or not by his looks. I don't think you need a casting couch, bareback sex fest audition to figure it out. My guess is that if the model was taking 2 different guys cocks, then he probably wasn't half bad at getting fucked. $0.02

Not only is it alarming that the sex was required for the job, it was also the reason the model was denied the job, and I can't imagine how humiliated he must have felt.
No no no. You didn't read my post carefully. I said it's never OK to have sex with a model during the interview process. I totally agree with you on that point. In regards to the situation that started this thread, I think the actions of that company were abhorrent, yes, and I agree that any company that requires that a potential employee have sex with the boss is skating on very thin ice.

But beyond that, I know of several situations where the studio head carried on an affair or had sex with a model or two, and it was entirely consensual and appropriate behavior.

My post was made more to try and temper all the piety going around in this thread. That's all. "Professionalism" is something that has been modified and re-defined in the porn business, so it's not always so cut and dry. It's up to each company to decide what works best for productivity and professionalism.
