I am 62 years old and have posed nude a hand full of times for a suburban Chicago art association.<br />The classes are 2 hour sessions ranging from ten one minute poses to three fifteen minute poses to one forty five minute pose. I have become more creative and daring with my poses each session that I model. I find the experience calming. Once you drop your robe and interact with the artists, I frankly forget that I am nude and focus on holding the current pose and thinking out my next one. I thoroughly enjoy the experience. I just posed last Sunday and can't wait for my name to be scheduled again.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667959112961986451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16764965.post-90926247324992081192017-02-15T11:32:00.725-08:002017-02-15T11:32:00.725-08:00This is one of those obnoxious posts: as if being ...This is one of those obnoxious posts: as if being "well hung" means anything when it comes to figure modeling.

Every teacher I worked for --over 50 of them--commented positively on my creative poses because my duffle bag has various props. When I first started, I was asked why I wanted to model. i said I was encouraged to do so by a friend; and I had creativity and stamina. It is not easy work and the pay is not great but it helps buy tanks of gas for the car! I'm already booked for over ten session this spring.

It's definitely not something that most people would expect me to do, but being a creative person and having drawn other people nude, I figured I'd go for it and give back to the art community, lol. Like other people have mentioned, I worried about my penis being too small, and I was especially concerned because I knew some people in the class. I almost chickened out. In the end, it was a very rewarding experience.

I have ED, so don’t worry about erections I was once asked to model for a figure in landscape photography workshop. I don’t have a muscular body am was a little on the heavy side but agreed to do it. Of the ten students, all but one were female. There were two female models also modeling and we did some couples poses. Due to diabetes, I have had to have both of my legs amputated below the knee. I would still like to do modeling amd wonder if there is a market for older male models with amputations?

I declined, out of shyness, even though I was lean, lithe, athletic and quite hung. I have regretted that ever since.

I started getting a lot of work and now model for art classes at 2 universities and for private artist.I concentrate on very dynamic, heroic poses, even the long ones. My first session at a university was unusual for me as all 22 students were females. I had to focus and relax. I didn't get an erection, never have and I think it would be uncomfortable for the class. There are very few male models in my area, so we are regarded as being very valuable.

Very true...It´s great to read all the feedbacks :-)<br />Very true what the last "Anonymous" wrote, that the students are seeing a figure, a sculpture, and not a naked man/woman when they are drawing. Plus, they are always so happy that they have someone willing to pose for them. <br />I am curious about the latest post if you were able to take breaks during your 1 hour pose. It is an unwritten "law" here in Norway that the model gets a 10 minute break for every 20 minutes.Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257963932522476606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16764965.post-56904079034603309122012-03-27T15:02:17.006-07:002012-03-27T15:02:17.006-07:00I am a 31 year old male and I modeled nude today f...I am a 31 year old male and I modeled nude today for the first time at a local university. I had modeled recently a couple times, but this was the first time undraped. At first it seemed awkward. I was wearing athletic pants, briefs and a t-shirt. The instructor asked me to undrape. I stood up, took off my shirt, and then my pants and briefs. I then listened to instructions from those in the room as I adjusted to a pose. The pose was quite relaxed in a large soft chair, and was held for close to an hour. Some of the artists seemed uninterested, while others seemed more interested. This is definitely something I never thought I would do. It was fun and daring at the same time. The main thing is to remember that the students are so serious about what they are drawing that they do not see a naked man in front of them, they see a nude figure to draw.
