I'm curious about when the posted policy changed (Donald, I'm writing to you if you know), as when we there in Spring (Feb. 27-Mar 6) we had our waterproof camera IN the Sexy Pool and were handing it around and various folks were taking pics. None during game time, but plenty of hotties unclothed and otherwise, on/next to the swim-up bar, etc. Generally "Party-Pics" as that term is understood by anyone who has ever posed for one, but still. Personally, it's a buzz-kill to me to not be able tot ake pics. The problem is... how in the hell else would we know the stuff we got into after 2:30 p.m. at TTR if we didn't have access to a camera's production of images remembered?
I just noticed last week in the written rules on the official site . I don't know when the change happened I don't know if it is in enforced I will find out out Halloween. Sent from my SM-G870W using Tapatalk
Totally agree!!! T I started looking at Temptation web site in April of this year when looking for a vacation getaway and it was in the FAQ'S back then. "Please avoid taking photos or videos in public areas. Taking photos in the sexy pool is forbidden" It was very confusing when seeing all the pictures posted on CCC. T
Tim & Donald, I think I might know... or be able to guess about the posted policy. We Go, so we Know, that we're not supposed to take pics of people having fun and acting like idiots in the Sexy Pool games. It would have a chilling effect on the games/entertainment if there was suddenly a rush of creepers to the stage during the Ms. Temptation contest, right around the question, "Well, it looks like (so-&-so's) time was pretty fast.... Do you think you can beat her? What if I took off 15 seconds off of your time? All you have to do is do it naked, mamacita, and that's what we'll do." We've all hooted & hollered for that, which typically DOES happen, because all the girls at TTR are just so shy in the first place if they are up on stage, but still. I betcha it'd be a different experience if the creeper paparazzi suddenly rushed the stage, eh? That, and having been as many times as we've been, we know how to do the pics, which is really simple when you think about it: 1) As much as you want to do so to "let people know how much fun it is, and what the complete environment is like," do NOT take panorama shots - there's no way everyone knows they are in a pic and some definitely do not wish to be; 2) Generally, aim the camera slightly downwards (tall dudes are good for this) and barring that, have the subjects up against a backdrop which isn't people (ocean works great) as does the Patyo's bar, Swim-up bar, like that; 3) Make sure you know (or at the very least have introduced yourself to and had a drink with the upcoming photo's subjects (that's just being friendly, right); and give them a chance to get themselves arranged the way they want to be; and 4) Have fun with it, ask for sexier posing, etc. LOL! DOn't get anyone in trouble though, that's a party-foul, but generally the sec-dudes have always left us alone when we're doing pic-time with those folks who are obviously enjoying the activity. My $0.02.
If you were a Pediatrician in a small Bible Belt city do you think you'd appreciate your nakedness all over the Internet? Hell no you wouldn't! Use that to determine what pictures you take and post! Many of us take a risk that others won't exploit! We need and deserve our "kink"...........just please don't out us!
It's all about respect for all guests. Pictures are fine as long as the subjects are aware and down with the pictures being taken. Pictures without the consent, or without the knowledge of the other people are never ok. Common sense and common courtesy are what make it all work. A lot of people do have sensitive jobs, live in small towns where everyone knows everyone else's business, etc. Fortunately a lot of us are not in any sort of limelight and really don't give a shit. Of course, who knows what TTR's new policy will amount to. They aren't necessarily consistent even from week to week. We shall see.
