3. Would you yourself pose nude?

[Tin Can]

I have no idea how you all were raised.

I'm from Northern Minnesota in the 50's were we often skinny dipped. Boys on one area, girls not that far away. Normal.

Later in the 60's near Chicago the High School forced all boys to swim nude. Not the girls. Not normal.

Still in the 60's and well into the 70's many my age, both young men and young women skinny dipped together in rural ponds. Bluegill nibble...

1980 I was in Oregon and we used deep forest Hot Springs naked, all ages.

Age 49 first day of acting class we passed each other. at random, slips of paper with an impossible task to act out. The teacher was my age, most students were younger.

We were supposed to do the 'acting' asap, so we all read our slips and I acted.

My paper said, 'Climb Mt Everest naked'. I knew I was setup by the class clown.

I stripped very quickly and lay still on the floor, face down.

I was so fast most didn't even notice. The instructor turned around and made no comment. Later he told I was the first to do that in class. No problem for anybody.

I have shot a few nudes, but now I don't and won't. Not even a selfie...

never say never...

One of the last Chicago Bathhouses, once called the Russian Bath, still exists right where I used to live. Lot's of naked politicians go there and that's why I never did. Now the upscale Traditional Russian / Turkish Bath House! AKA Red Square.

All this predates current events or does it...

PM for more

Sometimes I shoot nudes and i would not have a problem posing nude. I did a series of nude self portrait after my stomach surgery.

When I was younger, like forty years ago, I posed for life drawing classes to make extra money in grad school. Of course I was thirty pounds lighter and in very good physical shape. Now, not so much.

Best,

Why not, what's the idea of this question? What cen be concluded from the outcomes?

[Andrew O'Neill]

....if the fee was right.

[abruzzi]

I REALLY don't like photos being taken of me, so, no I wouldn't pose nude, or clothed.

[maltfalc]

gimme like 6 months to get back into the sort of shape i was in back in my nude modeling days.

[moggi1964]

Of course.

I have the body of a 57 year old pasty white Celt who is a bit overweight and pretty unfit. If someone wants to photograph that then why would I interfere with their creative vision by saying no.

I'm actually 32 (just kidding)

Years ago, I actually photographed myself nude on a mountain top in New Hampshire...facing away from the camera thank you - with my arms outstretched in a symbolic embrace of the surrounding wilderness! Oh...puleeeze! (yup, pretty corny!). At any rate...maybe, just maybe, I'll post this sometime, if...I can find it!

No thanks.
