Search Results: nude model

I'm an artist and I work with nude models in my studio on a regular basis. In 25 years of doing this, there's never been any unprofessional interaction between me and a model. It's always been my belief that they are there out of an interest in art, not anything else, and I make a point of giving the respect I would any co-worker.

My wife's (female) cousin says that "if that's true" (it is), it's only because I've never tested the waters. She claims that it's not possible that these models are not turned on and interested in me while they're posing nude. I pointed out that, besides the fact that I'm not anything great to look at, I'm 45 and most (not all) of the models I work with are between 18 and 25, so it's pretty ridiculous to think they'd be attracted to me. She says that doesn't matter because girls think artists are sensitive and romantic and the fact that I'm a successful artist will erase any age gap or lack of physical attraction and make most girls hormones start to rage.

I don't have any intention of changing my behavior in the studio, but I'm curious whether she's right or I'm right. What do you think?
