I did quite a bit of erotic and nude photography a few years back. Initially, I had to find and hire models on sites like One Model Place (don't know if it even still exists), but once I had a good portfolio going (also posted on OMP), the women were contacting me for shoots as TFP (time for prints). Just don't pay the model and then give her the photos--make that clear with her up front. I also made clear in the initial phone conversation that I would have a girlfriend present during the shoot with me (and I did) and they were welcome to bring their husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends. It took it all out of the realm of sleaziness. Doing a really good job of fine art nudes or erotic photography is a LOT of hard work, but it's also alot of fun, especially if the model is comfortable and has experience with nude photo shoots previously.
