TheLetterJeigh
Art program at my first college offered $50 per session to nude model and I thought it would be easy beer money. Definitely not worth
LetumComplexo
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say horny people started that idea. Seems like a safe bet.
libbazoid
it's hard physical work. No position is comfortable after 10 minutes. Even lying down
Newland979
Just erupt into laughter and enjoy the results from the artists that capture it!!!
awesalots
Speaking as both a model and an artist, this is usually exactly how it goes hahahaha
cryborg
They let me in a community college art class that did nudes when I was a junior in high school. I wasn't crying.
Jonmbram
I’ve done life drawing. I went in thinking it was going to be sexy. I left mellow as hell and with new perspective. Been creating art since.
xxwerdxx
The British panel show QI did a whole bit on this!! There’s a model guild and lists of banned models! Shits crazy interesting!
drdavessardogs
On another note. I had an artist lady friend describing the colors of "green" in a tree. I saw green, she saw a multitude of shades and
drdavessardogs
variations of color. I still envy her skills to this day.
A1ekazam
Still gets to see boobs. They're still lucky. Sexy or not boobs are glorious. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.

spoken like a true, gross, neckbeard. grow up dude

Nah I'm pretty comfortable here. Got my house, partner on crime, career. I just happen to love boobs is all.

PerpetuityPhoto
All My THIS. Seriously. Art's work, dude. It's an entirely different experience when you're directly involved with making a thing.
PerpetuityPhoto
(Also when it's part of your work, it kind of recontextualizes basically all of it. You get pretty quickly to a point where nudity is just -
PerpetuityPhoto
- another thing. Like hanging out with stoners and seeing gas-station dope-leaf shirts.
Rakart
I enjoy when our models get naked only because I fucking hate drawing clothes.
martineb72
Oddly have an artist friend, that at first with nude drawings it was very asexual, but later when he got good he needed to keep it sexy.
martineb72
He said people thought those drawing were passionate, because he kept sexy thoughts while making it.
awesalots
Can’t argue with results! As long as you’re not creeping the model out, it’s all good
xHabakkukx
As sum1 with a fine arts degree in drawing & painting, I can 100% confirm this & will add that 90% of the models r not remotely attractive.
caughtkneephd
Ouch...
wereSOlittle
We had a conceded model, he was very muscular. One time I was spending 10 min just trying to get the shape of the butt right and (cont.)

I look up to see this idiot smirking at me. Like dude I’m not checking out your ass I’m about to come up there with a knife and start (cont.

Cutting till your ass matches my drawing. And he did this to all the girls in the class.
ChukclesNuts
Had a friend who photographed nude women doing everyday life activities. Driving, cleaning, shopping, swimming, volleyball soccer. (1

Gonnaderpya
We mostly had old people with absolutely no shame who'd agree to nude modeling. One guy ogled the girls while they drew his potbelly, and 1
Gonnaderpya
flirted with them. Needless to say my teacher put him on a list to never return. 2/2
bellbebellbebell
People always assume that artists draw people with runway bods. Just as often they draw average flabby bods to really master their craft
rdewalt
We had a model that was a Very Fit gymnast. She was a gorgeously toned woman. Sexy wasn’t in mind. She would have death by thighs.
SqueezitTheClown
The one thing you probably don’t want to do as a model is look at the artists’ work.
zenabel
I’ve read that they actually really enjoy working with overweight and old people because the rolls and droopy skin is more interesting
McMillianOfAll
One of my favorite models from life drawing was this little old lady!
skribbly
Can confirm: fat people are way easier and more fun to draw.
Everyle
I love drawing old people, their face and skin has a story to it, dynamic shadows and many different planes of light
SugarDnD
Can confirm, my mom was super popular as a model right after giving birth. She became sought after because of her stomach rolls lingering.
GinOClock
I did life modeling around when i was in college to make a few extra bucks. One day I got a really bad sunburn and it was hard to hold still
GinOClock
...for more than 10 minutes. The guys that worked in the studio were super good about it (and patient with my inexperience)
caughtkneephd
I had my period once and still went didnt tell anyone and tucked my string away. One student behind me asked to move something that was...
caughtkneephd
Dangling down... I went bright red. Teacher noticed and I blurted out I had my period and asked if my sting was showing. It was a powercord
caughtkneephd
Mortified I laughed until I almost cried. Everyone was good about it too. Bless

I would like to do this, let them try drawing my apadravya correctly underneath my belly fat.

DocGigglez
NacLac
That either implies it's short or you have a massive gut. Or both. I'm not certain if this is a self burn or what at this point
randomwalrus
The apparatus is anchored to the muscular superstructure. Layers of fat, of any degree, reduce the overall apparent/visible length.
DocGigglez
Join my life art class and have your answers realized.
HappyTimeHollis
Why would either of those be a self-burn?

A genital piercing, I think

prrrkitten
One art class I had had every day people. Loved it.
prrrkitten
Everyday as in not super models...stretch marks, old, wrinkles, and everything
fiddlemyhiddle
It’s more interesting to draw, I would think.
prrrkitten
My favorite I did was a profile of a lady with a similar body shape to mine in lines. I have it framed in my house.
mistaopportunity
I'll take your word for it because I can't draw, paint, or anything of the sort.
Vaeyn
Sounds like you could use life-drawing classes ;)
nangke
Art classes are the perfect place to start learning how to draw. (As well as un-learning bad drawing habits picked up from copying cartoons)

JayEnfield
Give it a try. Couple of pencils, a good eraser, and just go for it. See what happens.
Gamer4125
I tried. I still suck.
JayEnfield
Oh yeah, that part lasts a long time. Gotta embrace the suck.
panamjck
I am not even very good at being naked, based on the reaction of everyone else at Home Depot.
NacLac
You were obviously in the wrong aisle

Hmm. Maybe it was the venue. Try it at Lowes.
vickyblr
Dude, the lighting aisle is no one's friend, let alone for the naked
Phobetor42
It's true, I've had taken several art classes with nude models and honestly the whole thing is very clinical - kinda like a doctor's 1/2
Phobetor42
Examination- everyone is really just there to work. 2/2
ToxicIndigoKittyGold
All my life drawing models in college were woman, mostly flower child types with hairier bodies than me and breasts so low to find their 1/2
ToxicIndigoKittyGold
Bellybutton you drew a line from nipple to nipple.
sirfanciesadrought
Why were their breasts low though?
ToxicIndigoKittyGold
Large breasts without support (interal or external i.e. silicone or a bra) are subject to the vagaries of gravity.
sirfanciesadrought
Hmm, then why are girls all for burn bra?
Oldbirdlady
For comfort and freedom over aesthetics

I don't remember what I replied to. And Imgur doesn't show the entire thread. You're one year too late.
imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
I worked as a stripclub bouncer. Nudity isn't sexy when it's work. I appreciate it, but I wasn't walking around hard. I'd rather watch porn.
nat300Lord
Man, your pecker would wilt on a porn set then.
JapaneseGeneticists
In school we had nude models and trust me, the thrill wears off pretty quick. Life drawings are given no time to ogle.

STORYTIME
imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
What story would you like? It was a job, I dealt with drunks by talking to them. I dealt with angry dancers, bar tenders, and managers.
imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
Did I have good times? Yes. Did I have bad times? Yes. I was married and had a child and made more in tips than I did in hourly wage.
LupusMalevolens
Hanged around a strip club at 17, running errands for the girls or bouncer. Can confirm, nudity gets boring real quick. Even at that age.
NickKater
Porn is work.
CuddleBunnington
Yeah, but not for the viewer

I been doing daily gesture drawings for two months, I only see humans as lines.
Duckpocalypse
Agreed. I used to fix the sound/lights and other various electronics at one where my brother worked. Just got boring after a while.
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
Same here. Boudoir photographer. Doesnt matter how hot they are, I am too busy focusing on lights, angles, poses, etc. In editing tho..
imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
I have a friend that asked for help with material for their OF page. Amature lighting and a stand for their phone for $100.
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
I'm sure that'd work great for them. Especially for digital sites such as OF. It'll be difficult printing anything worthwhile, tho
Junktrunkjunkie
My life drawing classes felt very clinical. We made observations about the shape of bones and muscle and how shadows played with the shapes.
JeSuisIvre
How long did they have to hold boners for?
Junktrunkjunkie
Each pose was held for about 30 minutes then the model would take a 10 minute break. Though none of the poses required a boner... →
Junktrunkjunkie
→ As a side note most male models were considerably more shy about their bodies than female models not sure why.
Smoretank
At my college some strip clubs even hosted life drawing sessions. You'd have a bunch of artist just drawing. Pay a fee upfront and sign up.
ChalmerWren
Same
BIGMATTW
Me too bro after like 3 days the novelty wore off.
imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
3 days is what it took me. One dancer would flash me to try and get a rise. I'd thank her and keep working. She was nice to me, though.
BIGMATTW
Did your joint have male and female entertainers?
imadethisaccounttotellyouthis
Women only. In oregon so it was full monty, manager only hired one body type, and oddly enough day shift did better for variety.
BIGMATTW
We had male dancers in a separate room one night a week, the female customers were the worst.
rjohannsen
I worked as a DJ at a strip club. Best.job.ever.

Thats also work though
sykoticflaw
Worked as staff/security for a swinger's club for a few years. It really does get old quick when it's part of the job.
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
Gf is bartender at swingers club, i help show people around etc., its rediculous how unsexual watching a gang bang becomes when it's work.
j4wolfe
If this is true we need a post of stories!
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
Its way less exciting than you'd think. Mostly people getting real drunk, agressive masturbators, old people banging. Lol
sirfanciesadrought
I don't get it. What do you mean by showing people around? And how's that related to gangbang?
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
1/ If there's newer memebers or non memebers that come to uum hang out, i help put by showing things like location and rules of back rooms..
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
2/ where the bathrooms are, how to use bdsm equipment, who to talk to if there's security issues. It's byob so people need that explained..
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
3/ and when my partner is working I'll hang out, and spectate, so uou get real used to public sex happening right in front of you.
eventide215
It's amazing how the mind adapts. Do something weird enough and it becomes normal. Once it's normal you barely think about it.
leperoutcastunclean
Is it that, or is it that it gets compartmentalized by context? A gang bang in a Swingers' club is 'normal'. A gang bang on the sidewalk 1/?
leperoutcastunclean
in the middle of the town at noon is 'not normal'. 2/2
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
It wasn't so much that seeing it was normal or not, it's more that things and people that are sexy, become just part of the job.

HOLY SHIT IM DYING
zeusdemigod131
I never understood how sitting in room full of sweaty boners where you can't touch anything is sexy at all
sirfanciesadrought
There are lot of people (exhibitionists) who are turning on by the thought of people watching them.
erischilde
Tbh it's in a person's head. Dancing, pretty girls, experience, all good. If you're focused on sweaty boners, not for you. Never understod/1
erischilde
Why "touching" is somehow necessary. With a group of friends, it's a show while you drink. You go to an action movie to watch, not get shot.
doAngelsFart
Same. Terrible job. All the girls come out at shut time and smoke waiting for their biker boyfriends. Harsh lights outside were not kind.
Icecreaman
Reminds me of a video theanimeman did a few weeks ago where he went to a JAV shoot (pron) and had the same take. It's work for them
Icecreaman
He went with a friend of his who's an ex actress and they commented on the entire process but made your mentality clear in their take
Icecreaman
The entire staff were super professional to the point where it made them feel weird they were acting weird for being there.
Icecreaman
Idk, just watch it, it makes more sense. https://youtu.be/7tBvL0tBk5E
EmptyHouseBurglar
I nude modeled for a sculpture studio for like a year. Nowhere near as tough as sex work, but really tiring. And the sculptors we're slooow.
StinkCreature
What was the pay like?
EmptyHouseBurglar
This was almost a full 20 years ago, so probably orient, but I think it was around 40 an hour? Usually did 1.5h sessions once a week.
EmptyHouseBurglar
Was mostly doing it for self development, the money wasn't much.
DarkHourse
I remember when my school announced abruptly “Year 9 is now banned from life drawing class”. I still wonder what happened to cause that.
mirrelle
Oh god, I'm a teacher and that is the last year level I'd want in those classes. Year 8/9 is like a whole bowl of new hormones less brains
Jackoftoys
I was 14 (grade9 US) when I took my first life drawing class. I was the youngest by 5 years in the room. Forced me to mature real fast.

i was a live model in my 20s-30s. i enjoyed the experience and the work of each artist.
sirfanciesadrought
How's the experience? What goes on in your head then?
noveltyanomaly
its an interesting XP in vulnerability. I grew up as a dancer performer, so being "exposed" in public wasnt a stressor for me. 1/
noveltyanomaly
It does challenge one's ideas of nudity and vulnerability. Since i was a performer + going to school for art degree, 2/
noveltyanomaly
i liked creating interesting poses from dance to make the drawing XP different. it was very interactive for me & gave a new sense of freedom

One of our models fell asleep and almost fell off the platform. We gasped collectively. I’d like to think it was for her well being.

One of ours had costumes like Viking helmets and fur capes and boots, otherwise nude. I hadn’t thought of him in 30 years til the Q shaman
papayaofthesun
I know in my heart we gasped because we didn’t know if she’d be able to get the pose right again.
DiuhBEETuss
Lol. I did some (clothed) figure modeling in college. The hardest part was sitting that still without falling asleep!
Thatknifeguy
Ugh, we had one model who could not keep a pose for more than 30 seconds without shifting around and losing it.
nangke
I guess call them in only for gesture poses
