As I've posted in another thread. I've posed nude. I would've done it for free. It was a lot of fun. I've done it both for photography students, and for painting students. I'm not ashamed of my body. They obviously liked it, or they wouldn't have asked me to do it. Quite honestly, the money was irrelevant. I didn't ask how much I'd be getting. It was actually very liberating.

You made your decision from a place of power, which is obviously a positive thing. You have also commented that for you the money was irrelevant.

For Mustang, it's the opposite. He has said that the money is the motivation. He's said he needs the money to pay off a ticket. In my opinion, this is not coming from a place of power.

When considering whether or not to do something that may have negative consequences at some point, one needs to come from a place of power. Therefore, if something negative does happen down the line as a result of the pictures, at least the person can say, "Well, I enjoyed what I did." That's far better than thinking, "Too bad I did that only because I needed the money to pay off a ticket."

I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that Mustang's beautiful body should be celebrated for itself, not as a means of paying off a small ticket. It's his choice, of course. These are just my thoughts.

Unless under extreme and dire circumstances, there is always a safer and more logical way to earn money than by selling yourself. Weigh the consequences of what you are willing to live with and willing to do. Ganymede made some excellent points.

I can't warn against it, since the closest I've been to this is posing nude for an art major here at Tech. The situations though are completely different. I wasn't being paid, I was doing it as a favor and my identity was kept concealed.

Since Mustang has said nothing in response to all of this great advice, I hesitate to add mine. However, let me simply say that it is easy to feel bold on the spur of the moment or in a time of need, but the reality is that such photos and the circumstances surrounding them can unnecessarily complicate one's life.

Now, as far as Ryan posing for an art major, hell, I'd have taken a life drawing class if there was going to be someone like you posing!

From what I see, most of us are telling him NOT to do it.

I dont see any harm in it. (just keep your face out of it)
I had a pretty cool encounter that lasted 2+ years. I was married to my wife at the time. My buddy confronted me with an extra spending money offer. He was going to be moving out of state and needed someone to take his place. We had been friends for years. went to the gym together partied together, etc. He saw me naked too many times to count. Hard and soft. He told me about this guy that paid him $100.00 for 20 minutes to take cock/ball and ass pics. On the bed, in the shower, j/o, you name it.
There was no body contact.
I said fuck yeah. I could tell you stories that would go on for pages.
p.s. He was a professor for UC IRVINE, Cali.

The money was great.

For all the wringing of hands in this thread about how the photos you pose for could come back to haunt you, I'll point out that you've already posted photos of your dick on the internet, so you're in for a penny already.

If you want to do some nude modelling, though, check out art schools in the area. The pay isn't as good, but the employers are more reputable.
