Many abbywinters.com models report becoming sexually aware of their bodies while they were still young enough to be living at home with family.  One of the few places all those models likely had privacy for such exploration was in the bathroom – possibly one of few rooms with a lock on the door.

For that reason it is fairly common for models to have experience masturbating in the bathroom. Some models will use the same techniques they use in any room but behind the bathroom door, where as others will have adapted their techniques to include that environment – using their electric toothbrush handle, the handle of a razor, a particular shampoo bottle… or running water!

abbywinters.com is committed to showing how models really masturbate when alone, but that needs to be balanced with showing customers the details of that method. Typically, some compromises need to be made for customers to enjoy the full experience. This is often true of any masturbation setup being captured for abbywinters.com, but this FAQ specifically focuses on what to do when models are masturbating in or around water within a bathroom.

Audio general bathroom considerations

Extraction fans must always be switched off, to record the “cleanest” audio track possible.

In some bathrooms the extraction fan is coupled with the light switch (ie, the fan cannot be switched off). In this case, the scene must be shot without the bathroom light on. Adding another light source to the scene is necessary anyway for correct exposure and image quality, so this should never be a problem.

Audio shower considerations

It does not always seem like it when we use them, but when recorded, showers are very noisy! The combination of;

• The hissing of the water leaving the shower head
• Hard flat surfaces like glass, tiles and mirrors (causing echoes)
• Many droplets of water falling a considerable distances landing on a hard surface
• The specific frequencies created and echoed

Taken together, these effects means audio recording of a shower form a major part of a sound track.

This is a problem because when models masturbate, the sound of the shower overrides the the intimate noises of her natural wetness, the change in the rhythm of her breathing, her vocalisations.

The situation needs to be managed to reduce the sound of the falling water. Several things can be done.

• Use a “normal” setting
• Reduce the height of the falling water
• Consider the surface the water is falling onto
• Turn off the water

Before shooting any sexual content of a model in a shower, SPs do audio tests (wearing headphones) to ensure the model will be auditable above the noise of the water.

Use a “normal” setting

Some showers have settings that force water through smaller or different-shaped holes, providing more pressure. These settings are always louder, and so should never be used – the largest / most holes will always be a little quieter (“rain shower”), so select them where possible

Reduce the height of the falling water

The greater the distance the water travels before it hits the bottom of the shower / bathtub, the louder the sound will be. The larger the distance the water falls, the more velocity the water builds up and so the greater the energy it has to transfer to sound energy when it reaches the bottom.

The solution is to reduce the distance the water has to travel by getting the model to sit on the floor of the shower with the shower head held close to her body, which in turn is close to the floor.

Consider the surface the water is falling onto

For some showers it is not possible to lower the shower head (the shower hose being attached to to the wall). In those instances placing a towel or bath mat in the shower, so that the water falls onto that instead of a hard tile, porcelain or plastic surface, will reduce the noise levels a little. The “fluffier” the surface used, the better it is for dulling the sound (for example, a lambskin rug will be more effective than a tea-towel)

An alternative to a shower head might be a tap. The tap will tend to be a quieter option and has the added advantage of positioning the model so her vulva and anus are more open to camera and light, meaning customers will be able to see more masturbation details.

Turn off the water

The ideal situation is when a model is able to orgasm through just the touch of her own hand. In those situations the shoot can include both elements, the model demonstrating her authentic masturbation technique as she usually would do it (with lots of loud and noisy water) before the model turns the water off, and masturbates in comparative silence – all of her natural sounds are fully audible.

Visibility

While recorded audio is the main consideration when models masturbate with water, we alo consider how clearly customers can see the action. SPs ask models to demonstrate the position they will be in to masturbate before they start recording, so customers be can placed in ‘The best seat if the house” – and so that direction can be given to help models open up for the cameras, to allow the details of what they are doing to be seen.

Visibility considerations in the shower

While a model may naturally masturbate legs-closed in an upright position, encouraging her to lean back (so she is resting on the tiles) and when possible to raise one leg, will help to make what she is doing more visible for the camera. Healthy and safety considerations  must be taken, models should only be on one leg if there is a non slip bathmat.

Encouraging models to hold their labia open (in EXP poses) will also help to make the details of her masturbation easier for the camera to see. Finally placing the camera low down, so it is looking up into the model’s vulva, will help to ensure customers can see what she is doing.

Encourage models to change their position more than they usually would. While a model may not typically sit on the bottom of the shower, this can help to open up her labia and anus to the camera. Similarly, getting the model onto her knees in a doggy position will enable customers to see the depth of insertion during masturbation more clearly.

When planning a masturbation sequence with models in the shower, SPs work to make a compromise. What does the model usually do and what is she comfortable additionally doing to satisfy customers.. Models should not be asked to do so many “additions” that she is unable to relax and orgasm… equally, models should not stick stringently to their usual method when that will prevent customers seeing details.

Visibility considerations in the bathtub

When home alone in the bathtub it is likely that models will draw themselves a bath that is:

• Hot
• Deep
• Full of bubbles

That’s great for relaxing in, but not suitable for capturing content for an adult website!

Steam from a hot bath will fog up camera lenses – this is particularly an issue for IMs when the SP will not be present throughout.

Deep baths mean that the water will be covering the model’s body – preventing customers from seeing the details they want.

Bubble bath, while fragrant and indulgent, hides the model’s body even more.

A compromise needs to be found between what a model would usually do, and what will look good on camera.

Temperature

In a quiet neighbourhood, opening a window in the bathroom might be enough to combat the steam while allowing the model to keep the bath temperature hot. Leaving the bathroom door open a little may also be practical (remember, the extraction fan cannot be used, due to the sound it makes).

In all other situations the bath temperature needs to be reduced to warm instead of hot.

Water depth

Unless an underwater camera is being used (check out Ella C’s Solo), once a model starts the main masturbation sequence, the level of the water needs to be reduced so that the model’s labia and anus are visible above the waterline. This can be achieved either through getting the model to lift up her hips, or by draining most of the water away. The right method will depend on how the model uses the water to masturbate. If she needs the sensation of the water to build to orgasm she should lift and drop her hips within a larger body of water, if not, drain the water away so customers can see her body clearly.

 

Bubble bath

Should not be used for IM shoots – there is too much danger of bubbles hiding key details at the wrong time (it’s unlikely models would notice). For Solo shoots, where an SP is on-hand to monitor visibility, bubbles can be a fun addition to the shoot adding in tease and pay off opportunities along side a chance to explore the model’s personality. In those situations SPs need to have a plan to remove bubbles before the masturbation part of the shoot begins. Often bubbles will die down on their own across the length of a bath but they can also be lifted out by hand or pushed down using water as needed.
