I have been approached a few times about modeling in the nude. Once, by a complete stranger on the street, to pose for a sketch; another time by someone who worked a gay bookstore where I shop sometimes, for a photo from which he wanted to base a painting; and twice by guys at the gym, both times for internet pornography, and most recently by someone who wanted to hook me up with friend of his who supposedly had a website devoted to redheaded men. Although I found the attention to be flattering, I do want to provide for the record that I know better than to be too impressed with myself; I think any reasonably attractive gay man with a decent physique and a larger than average endowment is likely to receive such invitations, both legitimate ones and ones that are really just come-ons. I cant say that I ever seriously considered these proposals, simply because of the obvious potential for conflict or embarrassment in my public and professional life. Still, as someone entering middle age who realizes that one does not remain in peak physical condition indefinitely, I admit that part of me likes the idea of having a high quality photographic record of my body in good form, for a memento. I guess this is partly why I like having a gallery at LPSG, although I am too cautious to include my face, and there are limitations with one can accomplish awkwardly aiming a cheap camera at yourself. However, if I were to agree to or actively commission nude photographs, none of these tasteful or artistic renditions for me. I would want them to be graphic, with legs open wide and my dick at full mast. I may be biased, but I think this is the male form at its very best.
