Family always comes to mind first when thinking about this. The thought of being a disappointment is hard to bare. Then as SizeQueen was asking in another thread... how would it feel to always be an object to people on the street?

thats a great question, and my initial response is that i hadnt even thought of it. i guess the concept is so dissociated for me i just see it as a visual piece of art/something pretty or hot or erotic to look at. even if theres some expressed sexual nature to it. i keep leaning most to the idea of doing fetish fotgraphy, i just dont find any inherent objectification in it all that off-putting

a cool example of something i think is neat -- http://ihazabucket.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/koneko.jpg

but that is really a tame image, to be fair

im ok with slightly more explicit stuff in theory, it depends i guess

most of the images i would feel comfortable posing for would be rather tame, id wager

spanking shots are probably the raunchiest id go for, off the top of my head

i have no major problems with those images in theory, except id be disinclined to remove the bra and also id not be keen on wearing such see-through lingerie.

just my personal preferences

heres where the objectification part may come in, for me. those women are a little bit too posed with a decidedly unsexy contrived quality in my opinion, and theres kind of an empty quality to the images for me....not appealing

i wouldnt be into posing like that very much. theyre probably doing it to make some money too, nothing wrong with that...but what i myself would be more inclined to do is erotic/fetish type stuff with the knowledge that i am doing it to help create something pretty and/or arousing and i would not care about making money.

my dad might give me a lecture about being safe. not attracting any dangerous types i guess?? i dont know. that man can invent reasons why traveling alone to the market is unsafe, so there you have it. he would likely chide me about that issue, but he wouldnt judge me for the act of posing. he might chuckle and look away if i presented him with some photos, and make a crack about it being TMI or some such. he might look at me and make a remark about how its totally okay for us to have secrets. then he would laugh and start in with his CIA/NSA stories.

everyone else in my family wouldnt bat so much as an eyelash

Oh I agree that they weren't exactly the sexiest, like you I just pulled some off the internet. I added the fet ones for you :) Those would be alittle to much fun I think:cool:

I believe my family would immediately call a prayer group to pray for my immortal soul:eek:

Ok so pictures can be sexy, not raunchy. Poised without over production and still contain nudity and be beautiful. We both agree on this. I think it's what the photos are used for and where they are featured that has an impact on how we see them as well.

I have done some nude photography both as a model and a photographer. During the photo sessions they were not sexual as much effort and time is spent in getting the lighting, exposure, composition, etc. correct. If the model and photographer both act in a professional manner there is no concern about the experience turning into anything more.

I view the human body as a work of art and strive to not only capture it in my images in a pleasing and artistic way but also when I am a model I set my limits on what or how I am shot.

At one time I was offered a full paid trip to Hawaii, all expenses paid (airfare, food, and lodging) to spend 3 days being photographed on the beach, etc. However I soon found out that the photographer wanted to also shoot video and I strongly suspected he would want me to shoot pornographic images which I was not willing to do.

Everyone should set their limits and respect other peoples limits too.

Very interesting topic.

I'd like to ask something generally relevant to this topic. Let's say you do some adult modeling of some sort. How often do you suppose that actually impacts your employability? Specifically, do you think you'd get fired from your current job if you did adult modeling? And do you think it would hurt your chances at getting a new job?

One thing I had considered is if an employer admitted to finding your adult modeling shots (or pornographic shots if you want to take it a step farther), that employer would have to confess this is the reason you were fired and then admit that he or she had been viewing said material in the first place. To me, that makes them rather hypocritical.

I recognize it's a catch-22 of sorts, but it's kind of an interesting dilemma. Of course the employer could make up a story about how he or she found out about the images, but is that even grounds for firing (or not hiring)? Or is that discrimination?

Just some thoughts.

Hi sweetie. I am a natural exhibitionist and model, but I still draw the line somewhere. I am comfortable with my nude form being used in an artistic or glamorous (Playboy) manner, but an open-legged detailed shot of any of my holes but my mouth are off-limits. So, of course, any kind of solo or partner hardcore is off limits. Tasteful nudes are something I can look back on when I'm 80 and say "I looked beautiful". Hardcore is something I will most definitely be ashamed of down the line.

And modeling isn't a "gateway drug" as some have suggested. No matter how comfortable I feel on a set doesn't mean I'll think "hey, I can make more money if I just take things further". It's called moral integrity!

As far as family, my dad would think it's amusing, my mother would be hurt but appreciative of how beautiful her baby is, and my future children (when they're old enough) will know that mommy was a model, not a porn star. If my daughter is anything like me (when she's over 16 AT LEAST), she'll think, "Check out my mom, this is the body I can look forward to!" A boy will catch some shit from his friends, but it's nothing compared to what he'd go through if I had gone further.

I didn't read past the first page, but if you are considering doing some nude modeling I'd highly recommend it. With the right photographer, it's a huge self-image boost (ex. WOW, I really look like that?!) and a testament in comfort with oneself.

I agree limits would be a must. I wonder now as I see some of my favorite women, pushing the limits they adhered to so strictly when I first started watching, what happened? Are they not making enough money or have they been in the industry so long lesbian scenes don't count as porn?

Porn is just an automatic out in my opinion.

Exactly, this had crossed my mind earlier when I asked the question. What type of future does it leave once everything has been bared in a pornographic manner? Employers do not have to give a reason for firing in my particular state. It's a right to hire, right to fire state.

I also find the majority of people are hypocritical. The employer in this case would be no worse than a group a church members snubbing an unwed mother.

It's a very interesting subject once someone sits back and thinks about how it could possibly affect their future. Not that there's anything wrong with it, I could care less what others choose to do. I just wanted to discuss it.

I agree with all of those statements. I'm trying to remember the model that I saw a real life show on that found her nephew and his friend with one of her magazine spreads. Hmmm, she was really pretty with a china blue eyes is all I can remember Anyway she had to sit down and explain it to them. That would be really hard to do. I've often wondered the same things about strippers and how that affects their lives and friendships once people know.

Love your body just the way it is. Anyone who doesn't like it can eff off.

I wouldn't do it but only because I would not want to be recognized at work or at a job interview (as in the other job, not modeling job).

If I didn't have to actually work for a living I would not have had a problem with it.

35 years ago I took nudes for a resort in key west that was starting up. being au natural was easy as it was the lifestyle. later down the road i was asked to do some nudes for gays, though i was not gay. it was explicit material even showing erections. it was not easy trying to stay erect, constantly having to play with myself to keep it hard while others stood and watched, people talking, reloading the camera,etc.

most men would think it was fun and easy to stroke around others, but i asure you it's not. I was also worried afterwards that friends or family would see it. being the only one naked while all the people were clothed, even being a naturist was uncomfortable espically when asked to wear g-strings and had to shave with them inspecting my trim job and doing touch ups, positioning the suit and some on the beach where strangers stood and watched made it very hard to be relaxed.

It got to be when they wanted me soft i was semi erect and when they wanted me hard I was soft. after two days i requested they get someone else.

Ladies,

Would anyone ever consider nude modeling for an adult magazine?

Do you think there is a difference between nude adult modeling and porn? How is modeling in Victoria's Secret, Frederick's of Hollywood, a department store catalog etc. different from modeling in something like Maxim, Playboy, Scoreland, Penthouse?

Would you feel differently about the opportunity if it required modeling with another person with no actual sexual acts taking place? What about modeling with a nude woman vs a nude man?

Where would you draw the line? How much is too much? When do you think this would impact your life? Do you really think it would effect your future when there are so many pictures shots available all over the internet now?

I've done a small amount of modeling in the past for the college fund, so I might have a different view.

I would, and have done some nude modeling, and definitely believe there is a difference between it and pornography. In any scenario where I had to be naked, I got the impression the photographs were more about the feminine body or the attire I was modeling over the typical and blunt sexual focus. There also seem to be "artsy" differences, but I guess you could make the argument that some pornography is art. Sometimes it seems like the only distinction between porn and not porn is level of production quality.

Modeling was always easier for me if it was done in the presence of another person. Solo shoots were always odd in that you're the only person "up there" and everyone else is lurking somewhere in the backdrop of blinding lights and equipment. Male or female, I think another person helps to share the weight and adds a bit of excitement.

I am not too sure whether there is a steadfast point of "drawing the line," but for me it would definitely be centered upon recognition for my work to the point where it interferes with my everyday life and becomes unwanted.

I have a bit of an admiration for bondage modeling and the like though (I just find it fascinating and love the look), so I could definitely see doing shoots in that vain and really not caring what becomes of it later. I would also have no problems doing work for some websites like FTVgirls and have even contemplated it.

Bottom line is that if it's something you enjoy, and you can live with the ramifications, it is *good* money, can be very tough work for some, and can be daunting or a total thrill!

I would model for an artist (preferably, he'd take photos, so I wouldn't have to freeze frame in the freezing cold).

In a magazine? Hell no! That's trashy because you can't be incognito.

I usually don't get naked in front of a member of the apposite sex (pun intended) unless I'm intending to have sex with them

I've been approached for nude work by a trashy cheap mens magazine while at a car show and they were told NO.

I've also been approached by a well known American fetish photographer during my S&M escapades and that is something I'd consider.

Not with my body. Ew. Just... ew.

:biggrin1: I love that response. But seriously DasLeezard, I'm sure you're just being hypercritical of your body. I have noticed that very attractive people (like you) are often like that.

I worked as a photographer for many years, and did a lot of erotic photography of both men and women. Everyone has his/her own idea about what he/she is comfortable about doing in front of the camera. But those ideas aren't necessarily fixed and sometimes a model (not necessarily a professional) would suddenly say something like: "Look, I've been thinking, and I've decided I'd like you to do some pictures of me naked." I'd find that extremely flattering. It meant that the model trusted me to flatter him/her, and also trusted me not to allow the pictures to be shown in a context that he/she wouldn't like.

So everyone has ideas about what sort of modeling they'll do. A gf of mine used to model for my ertotic photography, and she also modeled for life drawing classes. She was approached by a guy who wondered if she would model for his amateur photography club. The money he offered was attractive but she declined because she didn't trust them to do good pictures of her. I guess the idea brought on a background worry about her body. ie. the amateur photographers wouldn't make her look good enough, and then who might see the pictures?"

Wondering/worrying about who will see is the greatest problem. One girl I'd photographed was horrified when a bunch of my photographs of her in the nude were handed around her local pub. Someone at my photo processors had recognised her in the pictures and ran off a few copies for himself so that he could show his mates. I was absolutely furious about this breach of confidence and took it up with the owner of the photo processors. He was also livid and sacked the employee. It was all a bit embarrassing, but serves to show just how much trust is involved.
