    Default HerBodyBank - An MFI Model Built Alternative?

    I discovered HerBodyBank after some late night creeping. They are pretty quiet on Twitter but have become more active this year in sharing their model's profiles. After checking out their website, I found at least one model who claims to have completed two campaigns and is on her third. I am a little upset that all it says everywhere is it was founded by a model with ten years of experience, but doesn't mention the model, although I also can't blame her - I would be nervous to out myself too, as it appears she was a big part of the MFI community and that did not end well. Old comments seem to say that it has a similar format to MFI with the improvements MFI didn't have.

    The TOS state that if you quit at anytime before completing your goal or aren't active every 30 days, you forfeit all funds. MFI was before my time so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this is similar to how it worked. There is no $9.99/month fee like MFI now has. There is no $8.50/four months that GetCosmetic has. Everything is in tokens, although I'm not sure what the tokens equal out to or what site processing fees look like. I can say from TOS that they charge $250 if you change where you are having your procedure-you need it all in writing to get payment. There is no "bad" traffic of contributors talking crap like they were about MFI, but the site is still young. They specifically say that it's not their fault if the businesses closes. Sketchy, but not as sketchy IMO as paying every month just to hope to make it back plus surgery costs. I also find it less sketchy they have it listed in their TOS considering who they're replacing, because at least they face the fear everyone has about them.

    So far, My ID photos were too large and had to be resized to 2MB...not sure how photo and video uploading will go here so I am a little nervous on that front. My ID has not been accepted yet, so I can't log in as a model yet.

    I made a perv account and immediately got messages, so this is definitely a GFE site. I can't message anyone back as it's ten tokens, so that's cool - you can write them, but they can't write you. I kind of like that they have "most active" and "closest to goal" tabs.

    Overall, I feel more inclined to try HerBodyBank over MFI or GetCosmetic. It seemed some strong MFI supporters like HBB and made the move. I don't know if I can say the same of the new MFI or GetCosmetic.

    Why do I (and possibly others) want to use a cosmetic surgery specific crowdfunding site instead of just camming my way to the money? I already use my income to live and pay bills. I have an arguably large presence online, if I start talking about cosmetic surgery before I am all set to have one, I worry I'll have a lot of people complaining about how my tits are fine, or how I should go bigger than I want, or a whole bunch of unnecessary comments that don't actually pay for the surgery. I just don't want to deal with that, and if I don't have to, I won't. I want to get the funds to get em done, and do em. If I'm on a specific site with a central goal and purpose, I feel like there'll be a lot less judgement about it and more support. Since the site is so privatized, I think only people who are interested in the end goal will join, and I only want to share that with them. Some women don't like the idea of someone else paying for their boobs, I don't like the idea of owing money on my boobs and making monthly payments on them if I were to finance them! I also don't like the idea of publicly crowdfunding for it. If it takes too long to get to goal, people will be upset in thinking their money doesn't matter. If it's all I'm talking about, the guys who think they only like natural women will jump ship sooner. Why should I lose fans or months of income to crowdfund, when I can do what I do now and crowdfund along side it so it really is extra income? Silently saving the money doesn't really do anything, especially when there's potential to use content I already have to make my goal. I have no intention of getting them done in the next week-this has been a long term goal for Me, so I think crowdfunding is the way to go.

    I hope I can find other models on HerBodyBank. If not, I'll update the thread when I'm approved to let you all know how the upload process goes. Hopefully we have a beautiful new business budding that picks up where MFI left off.

    note: unnecessary comments like "I'd never have someone pay for my boob job" or "just finance it" are unnecessary. I'm just trying to talk about the website. We're all sex workers here, this is a form of sex work. Personally, it turns me on to think that videos I already shot put on a specific site for goal oriented customers can get Me the tits I want that will be shared with the internet anyway. It's okay if it turns you off, this just isn't the thread for you

    Models acknowledge that HBB may choose to invest some or all of their campaign funds in interest bearing accounts and any other investment of HBB's choosing. HerBodyBank is not responsible for any payment due to the model but not paid because of the closure of the business or the discontinuance of its association with HerBodyBank. Models expressly acknowledge and agree that nothing herein creates a continuing obligation by HBB to maintain this service in perpetuity. Models further acknowledge and agree that the maintenance of the service by HBB is done so at the discretion of DCS, LLC/HerBodyBank.com, and Models expressly assume the risk that HBB may cease its operation of this site.
    So they use the money I make in whatever investment they think is shiny, then if/when they lose it, thats just my loss? That sounds terrible.

    Well, uploads are going to be near impossible at 500 MB and there's absolutely NOOOO linking to other sites allowed so all clips would have to have watermark removed. I wish I could see the old MFI site to know what their TOS looked like :/ I know a few models who had success there and it's just such a bummer that nothing seems to fit where it did in its good days. Thanks for the analytical eye.

    Seemed better than GetCosmetic which wants you to be paid through PayPal, but I guess nothing will replace MFI yet.

    It just feels needlessly risky to me. You could spend that time and energy making more money on cam and saving up for the surgery yourself, and that way you're guaranteed to keep the money that you make, and not lose it to some sketchy site. I quit MGF because they raised their check payout to $500, I certainly wouldn't trust this site with $5000+ (especially when they state in their TOS that you could lose the money--most untrustworthy sites just bank on the fact that almost no models are going to take legal action.) I don't really understand the argument against camming your way to the money, either--you don't have to tell clients what you're intending to spend your money on. That's none of their business. And unless you're already on every single one of the major content sites you'd probably make more money uploading your content to any of them than to some nearly unknown site.

    Also, re: the investment thing... are the models also profiting off of those investments? Or are they taking all the risk with no potential reward? Like I said... it seems needlessly risky.

And unless you're already on every single one of the major content sites you'd probably make more money uploading your content to any of them than to some nearly unknown site.

    My logic is this: If people didn't want to pay for breast implants, MFI wouldn't have been so successful. There is a niche, a fetish that exists, and a profit potential within that niche. As a natural model, most of my fans are fans of natural models and detest that fetish. Publicly crowdfunding within that niche generates income; if it didn't, it wouldn't have worked. MFI wouldn't have been so big and little sites like this one wouldn't attempt to be its alternative if it didn't have profit potential. Outside of that niche it can generate income, but it also generates scorn I don't personally want to deal with, which is why'd I'd rather be on a small private site to fund it. Privately funding it in secret completely ignores the niche/fetish that MFI was built on that bought tons of women surgery that this site is attempting to cater to. In addition, I have financial fetishes: its just sexier to me to have a dedicated site specifically for one purpose. Hopefully that gives you some understanding.

    I do appreciate the finer toothed read, and will definitely be attempting to figure out what the original TOS of MFI were to see if any new sites that pop up are a fitting alternative to models who would prefer a devoted website to crowdfunding.

    As far as MGF goes, they took around $400 from me a few years ago and in all these years haven't responded through emails or any social media. My account was still up and my fans wrote them, only for them to say sometimes girls quit. I hope you were able to jump ship without losing too much.

    That makes sense. Have you thought about raising the money under a different persona dedicated to that specifically? Different name, different niche, different clients, different goals. It might scratch that itch while also keeping your two client bases separate. And MGF only got around $40 from me, thank god. $400 sounds much more painful, but it sucks that models have to lose anything to these corrupt sites. Hope you find something that suits your needs!
