Would you pose nude?

A time or two I've considered getting nude pictures professionally done like Samantha did in the series "Sex and the City" so when I'm old and saggy I can look back and remember.

I've done a few for myself and a boyfriend once, but I had control of them. I'd do it again.

For art, and I'm pretty liberal on what I'm willing to consider art, sure, without hesitation. I'm a 26 year old man from the northeastern US. I'd prefer my face at least be positioned in a way that it's not readily identifiable (or, if we're talking about drawings or paintings, not too realistically rendered), but that would be my only request. In fact, I would not only agree to do it, but I have done it, first in the SDMB thread (inserting myself into male nude classical art), and after having such a fun time with that, I started a blog along the same lines and did it a few dozen more times. I'll link to it if there's any interest.

As for unabashed pornography, that's a very-firm-(yes-ha-ha)-but-not-absolutely-set-in-stone no.


Tangentially related:

Is everyone here aware of the Human Variation Project? The owner seems to have abandoned it, but it was very interesting while it was operational. It was a blog that invited ordinary un-model-like people to submit nude photos of themselves.

There's also ErectionPhotos.com. Same idea, but with the focus narrowed on penises, particularly on their various angles and curvatures.

I'm not on either of them, before anyone asks.

FUUUUCK! The human variation blog, which was great, has been removed. That link no longer works, although it did when you posted it, and I thought it was exactly what I was looking for, down to the poses (front and rear especially.) I didn't copy the photos, planning to get around to it at some point. Any chance that someone has some of those pictures cached? Or is willing to pose in some of those same poses for me?

FUUUUUUCK!

Oh shit, I had only looked at a few pages! Same here, I was planning to go back to it to download the pics. My cache is emptied daily, so no dice.

prr: Are you looking for live models, or just photos of naked people?

Well, I work from photos mainly, so photos would do, and they'd protect people's privacy. (You could include or omit any facial exposure). My main motivation in having a live model is that I could control how the photos I'd take would be shot. I'm looking for torsos, either full frontal or full rear, shot from a few feet away, well-lit (back-lighting preferred) with a camera held at the same height as the torso (i.e., neither shot looking down nor up, but level). There were a lot of those on the human variation site.

I sent you a PM.

DAMN! I was going to save pictures too, but it's not cached by either Google or the Internet Archive.

Ah-hah! There's still some here Grab them fast. (I got all the full-body shots if anybody wants me to email them. There were only about three people).

I also found this nude art group on flickr but I didn't join it to look.

I already have a couple of times.

I wanted to try it to see how it would feel to be naked for someone. I answered an ad for a nude photography. I was so nervous when I got there because i did not know what to expect. As soon as I saw the camera, I could not wait to take off my cloths. I was surprised how comfortable i was. By the end I was even posed for some shots outside. I really liked it and would do it again

It's not something I've considered.

I'm comfortable in my own skin, I just see no reason to inflict it on anyone else.

I answered no, but I guess if my face were kept out and if it were seen by no one likely to ID me, I'd be willing. Doubt anyone would want to see such pics, though.

Dude, 46.

In days of yore when young ladies would fight over me as a boytoy, I posed nude for an art class. If I did it today, they'd run out of the room gagging. :-(
