Would you ever volunteer to pose nude for a college, or vocational, art class?

[laurieluvsit]

A. No, I am not a nudist so I would never do such a thing

B. I am not a nudist, but posing for an artistic reason is not the same as just being nude in front of other for no reason so I would consider it

C. Yes, I am a nudist and I would actually enjoy doing it alt="Would you ever volunteer to pose nude for a college, or vocational, art class?">

D. I would like to be on the artist end of it, but not nude posing myself

E. OTHER, see my comments below, or just open the "Nude Art Class" survey

I would if I could guarantee that I wouldn't know any of the people in it. But I go to a pretty small school, and the people who've done it for the art classes here say it makes things incredibly awkward. Everyone knows everyone here. It's big enough that you don't know everyone's names or stories, but small enough that you know and remember all of the faces. If there's someone on campus who isn't a student here, we all know. So I wouldn't do it here.

[laurieluvsit]

Makes sense :)

[Oram52]

"it makes things incredibly awkward."
May I ask in what ways. Does it also include unnecessary comments by guys.

[ImSparkly]

I have been on both sides of the camera for friends and my portfolio. Its always tasteful and far from prurient.

[laurieluvsit]

"Far" from prurient? ... may depend on what boy you ask and how gorgeous you are... lol

[ImSparkly]

True, far is a spectrum. So other than the 'hair-trigger' types, I dont think I caused any more erections or 'blow-outs' than I would have at the beach when I have posed.

[ZackBan]

Well since I love to draw and I'm not a stuckup old fashioned person who quickly shames others for something like their bodies, I would love to be the one drawing. But I would also pose if it's for a class I can be sure would not try to humiliate me afterwards.
But what about you? Would you do it?

[laurieluvsit]

Maybe... lol

[ZackBan]

If you do, I wanna be the one drawing. I promise to do it justice

[laurieluvsit]

... :)

[TheAteam1978]

I tried but I had a erection and they threw me out!

[laurieluvsit]

Suddenly, they needed more paint... lol

[clampfan101]

I don’t know how any guy could not. It’s crazy.

[Paulaanderson]

I did fir a local art class when I was in my late 30s to eran a bit of extra money
I did 6 months or so in the next town
It was liberating and gave me some confidence back after having kids
I posed in implied nudes and topless to completely showing everything
Fond memories of two students

[holidaze]

How did the 2 students stand out?

[Paulaanderson]

@holidaze stood up very well

[laurieluvsit]

... lol

I think my body is past its prime. I wish I did it when I was a very fit 20 y/o. Still in better shape than most guys so not an entirely an issue.
I would not want to run into someone that sketched me if I was with a friend or family member. That could be really awkward.
Life is about overcoming your fears (within limits) and this is one of my fears so it would be nice to cross if off the list.
Being a guy presents its own set of challenges though as a certain gust of wind can get an erection going. This last reason is probably why I wouldn't do it. A 1 on 1 with a sketch artist probably would be better so one could excuse oneself if needed.

[TahoeHiker]

How about at a senior citizens art class. Last week, while volunteering at an assisted living home for senior citizens, I accidentally interrupted their art class.
So as I was taking down Christmas decorations and putting up Valentine's day decorations, a woman said to me " I'd rather paint you, than a bowl fruit.
I never heard such loud whistles when i took my shirt off and held a bowl of fruit.

[laurieluvsit]

You're going to get a reputation you know... lol

[TahoeHiker]

Yes in the 65 year old and older demographic is quite possible.

[Craftsman]

The classroom, easels and canvas set up, students ready for the nude art part of the course.
Enters the model, me.
70 years old, male, paunch, scruffy hair and 2 day growth of beard.
Robe drops. Nude turn while setting pose.
All students fighting to exit the classroom while suppressing the urge to vomit.

[MissKittyz]

Yes I would because my body is a work of art :) lmfao jks jks. I'd be way too shy to do that 😅 but honestly, if I was less insecure and less shy and didn't have bad anxiety, I would do it. Would be nice to see a nude portrait of myself.

[MrOracle]

I wouldn't do it, as I wouldn't want to be charged with Crimes Against Humanity.

[laurieluvsit]

... lol

[Juxtapose]

LOL!

[zagor]

No, I would find it too hard to keep a straight face. As for being a student in the class, no, just because I have no talent in that area.

When I was in college I walked by an art class where this totally hot girl was modelling nude. I would think things would get a little stiff...

[interested70]

When I was in college I needed some extra money so I did pose for a class. At first it was kinda awkward but you get used to it pretty quickly. I didn't get paid a lot for it but I did go on a few dates with one of the girls from that class. So I guess it all worked out.

[1stranger]

Hahahhaa... Of course, not.
You? I sense your desire to volunteer😄

[laurieluvsit]

Maybe... lol

[1stranger]

I think you're one of the best to do that👍
But students may not be able to paint while looking at you🤩

[matchrestore]

I actually have sat for a life drawing class, and taken a life drawing class while in college. The worst part is holding the same pose for so long. I felt so stiff and sore afterwards.

[loveslongnails]

No one wants to me nude … trust me. YOU, and/or your sister, they would want to see nude ! Would you do it?

[laurieluvsit]

Maybe... lol

[DorkVader]

I'm not a nudist, and I'm not a standard beauty, so I'd pose so they could have a fat model and see what they came up with 😍

[laurieluvsit]

Awe, don't be hard on yourself... everyone is beautiful in their own way :)

[DorkVader]

Eh. I'm more of a kinetic beauty. Still life Vader probably leaves a lot to be desired

[markscott]

It's art, so I probably would. My only real concern is maybe getting an erection, but I don't think I would.

[AngelLily]

I don't think so maybe if I was able to take off my clothes without people looking and then pose in a way that wouldn't show anything maybe.

[Sorryinadvance1]

I would because I'm really curious how I look through the artist eyes. I think it could normalize nudity and help me except my body more but I'm also a little bit of an exhibitionist so I would worry about getting an erection

[NightFlirt]

Yes, nude paintings and photos are a form of art and I am not ashamed of my body.

[DanishSaint]

I would ALWAYS volunteer to pose nude!!
Anyone need a nude, male model? I am volunteering now !!! ;)

[Desconhecida]

No. I have nothing against people who do that but being still and naked for hours, being looked by several students... that's hard!

[Iwillneverunderstand]

Umm. If it was good pay, maybe && depending on the extent of things, I just might.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

For money.

I'd do it for money.

"If something's worth doing, never do it for free" right? :D
