I recently started asking questions on my Facebook page, encouraging people to discuss in open debate fairly non-personal questions. I like to play devil's advocate in those situations. But for those models who follow me and who will now or in the future read this, I'd like to pose a more personal question:
Why do you do nude modeling?
As a member of the male persuasion, I have absolutely no objections. I am an unabashed pervert and love each and every one of you, regardless of why. But I know there must be a lot of negative feelings at least among friends and family. Some of the reasons I can think of:
Attention, the desire to be desired, external validation, lust, exhibitionism, money, royalties, fame (or infamy), conformity, someone told you you'd be a good model, kink?
Or is it for the desire to find like minded people? Maybe to be in a community of people who won't judge? Maybe you realize there's no issue with nudity, and do this because you're a philanthropist? Maybe because a friend joined and told you how amazing it was, and you're looking for camaraderie, sorority, or a place to be unabashedly nude while sniggering at the hordes of horny dudes who now recognize you and try to get in your pants?
As a non modeling male without even a foundation of professional photographic experience, I'm sure there are many incentives, reasons or drives that I missed in my superficial lists, but if you don't mind, I'd love to take a survey and find out why each of you do and continue to do this. :)
And for those of you who don't speak English well enough to understand all of this, but still wish to participate, please send me a message and I'll work on getting this translated!
