    If a friend asked me to do it, I would, but I wouldn't take it up as a money making venture.

    When I was in art college we had a male model, and he must've been about 60. One day one of his bollocks dropped out of his underpants (it didnt roll across the floor or anything), and the girl beside me got quite flustered and began to faint. I think I stopped drawing at that stage, if I remember right.

    So no I wouldnt, except maybe for a million quid.
    A lifedrawing model wearing underwear. Did you attend college in an Islamic state out were the nuns running art classes in the community hall? When I was in college we had a model who was in his late 70's, legend of a man called Willie. He was really wrinkled, and could sit for ages, so he was a fantastic model. There was a girl who would sit for about 5 minutes at a time before declaring she needed a fag break, and Neil, who had one bollock and a penchant for aiming his erections at the most shy person in the room, who was my friend. She'd be getting redder and redder until she couldn't take it anymore and run out of the room, eventually someone would notice and shout "ffs Neil, put it away!"

    I've just noticed that the only person who's thanked you so far is Testicle. Seems apt, seeing as Neil had only the one.

    Yes, thankfully! Maybe he was a bit self conscious about his "crown jewels". We did have a female model also, and she used to go the full monty. Nice lady actually, used to sit and drink coffee with us in the canteen afterwards.
    Anyone else picturing the lady in the canteen still naked?
    Just casually having a naked coffee...

    Sure his name wasn't Frank?? We had a model who sounds exactly like this but was called Frank and was almost blind.

    Or maybe there's a contingent of really old life models out there?

    I'm skint and trying to think of ways to make money and posing nude for Art popped into my head. I've attended life drawing classes myself while at college so I have an idea what's involved.

    Would you do it?

    Realistically, I don't think I could do it. The main reason being I'd be afraid I'd know someone in the class.

    If I had a body like Kate Moss I would do it :D

    Being an artist who uses the nude form, I had plenty of girls willing to post but alwasy teh same excuse: my boyfirend wouldn't let them. Oddly enough it was the complete opposite the other way around, girls wante their boyfriends to pose.

    Boy friend#s promptly refused, because the felt a bit "gay".

    So the question is - especially for the guys - would you let your girlferiend pose nude for a photographer, assuming she was up for it?

    It depends. If it was a well-known, reputable photographer, and she really wanted to do it, I'd be fine with it.

    If it was a mate or a friend of a friend and she was doing it for fun, I wouldn't. Not out of jealousy, just because there's way too many creepy guys out there and I wouldn't trust a randomer around a girl I'm seeing naked.

    I'd sooner buy her a photo shoot by a company/photographer that I did trust myself so we're both happy.

    If I was with someone who told me I wasn't "allowed" to pose nude for a photographer they'd get told where to shove it pretty fast, or I'd just go ahead and do it anyway. I did nekkid photos a few months ago actually - fantastic experience and I'd highly recommend it, so liberating. Sure it's something to look back on in a few years when everything has gone south and/ or wobbly.All very tasteful arty farty stuff and no-one will ever see them unless I want them to.

    Except for the 8ft x 6 ft b&w canvas I plan on hanging in the bedroom and the customised Christmas cards of course.

    And how would you feel if, say, your fella told you he was getting his lad out for a girl who was his cousin's mate? Just out of interest.

    P.S: I'm pre-emptively calling BS if you say "I wouldn't be bothered, it's his life and if it makes him happy, I'm happy."     :P

    Send me on your credit card number, date of birth and your Mother's maiden name and I'll see what I can do.

    Just getting his lad out for the craic? Well that would be a bit weird and I'd be slightly worried if I was seeing someone with that level of sexual deviancy. But if it was for photos? Meh, good on my imaginary fella, why would I have a problem with that? :confused:

    No he was definitely Willie, he was an absolute gentleman, he was obviously interested in art himself and would sit and chat afterwards about our work. Got chatting to him once about his family, and he whipped out a picture of himself with his wife when they first met-he was a hottie!!

    Interestingly enough, this is on my bucketlist. Although, I think I'd have to 'warm up' with a one-to-one first, before posing for a class. Just to say "Yeah, I've done that." And not just when I'm 60 either.

    This also interests me as a photographer, there's a small field of landmines with this.

    This seems like something that would be really fun, interesting, artistic, creative, adventurous and new. Where does one find a model? Location? Time? Starting off? How to maintain sexuality without sexualizing the situation? Staying somewhat professional, that is. If you’re male, how do you come across as not being a creepy pervert?

    It seems like a catch-22, how do build a portfolio without a portfolio?

    Then there’s the reaction of your partner: "You were photographing her naked!" I guess it is much like an actor kissing somebody else on stage.

    Was it in an art class setting?

    How long did you do it for? Do you just make enquiries?
