Scientific protocol

OK so we need to do this thing using scientific method.

The first idea I had was to have a photographer and a girl and two photo sessions, they do the first photo session, fuck then do a second session. The photos are then shown to people who are asked to guess which ones come from which session.

This provides some controls, the main weakness is that the second shoot is likely to be more natural just as a result of it being a second shoot. So we really need a control of some sort. Also we only have one photographer and model involved.

There are two controls that might be used the first would be to have two photographers and two models, each photographer shoots both models, fucks one then does a second shoot with both models.

The second control would be to have a photographer who had not fucked either model. This raises other variables, the question we want to answer is whether the viewer can tell if the girl has been with the artist or not. If we are not careful we will be answering the question of whether a girl who has just been fucked looks different to one who has not or an artist who has fucked produces noticably different work. Interesting questions perhaps, but not the Gauguin question.

So the control for this variable would seem to be to have one photographer/model pair go with each other and a second photographer/model pair each go with a different party.

I can't quit make up my mind whether it would be better to try all three controls or just a subset. How many photo sessions could the models/photographers do in one day? Two is not a problem, four might be, six seems to be too many. Perhaps we need to do it over more than one day.
