I did it! I (male, 30’s) posed naked for an art class! Just once. It was “fun” and embarrassing, and exciting. I confess, this happened many years ago, but my female friend/neighbor and another neighbor were taking a drawing class at night school, local college, just for the heck of it. Sometimes they drew flowers or whatever but that week was figure drawing. Thing was they missed it. And the following week, they saw the drawings tacked on the walls and were talking to the other women who were saying how they got to take pictures of the naked guy, even close-ups! They were pissed they missed the night and they got the teacher to schedule a make-up session where they and two other women who missed it could attend.

When that night came, they were all excited, talking about how they’re going to take close-up pics of his c*** and a**. And saying that’s what he’s there for, and whoever volunteers for that kind of thing knows what he’s getting into and deserves it. I joked that I wouldn’t mind doing that, just once. They laughed and said you’d chicken out! The conversation ended there. Until.. the night of the make-up class. My neighbor texted me – we’re at class and the model cancelled! We have to draw from photos that other women took last week instead of the real thing. I replied “ask them if they need a volunteer!” She texted “are you serious?” I hesitated but said, “yes”. Next thing I know I was driving to the local college! And butterflies in my stomach as I walked into room. Met with smiles from everyone. The teacher had me disrobe behind a curtained off area and come out wearing a robe.

I came out, my heart was pounding, I sat on a chair in the middle of them. The teacher was talking to them about not wanting them to draw the entire body, but rather choose a few parts – ears, nose, g*******, or b***. And focus on that part for 30 minutes, trying different angles. And they were to take and print photo and attach to the drawing and turn in at end of class. The photo was for reference, for teacher to grade the job they did.

The teacher instructed them to start with an ear and look at its curves and contours. She took a photo of my ear and projected it onto a flatscreen for the class to see. She pointed out parts of the ear – tragus, anti-tragus, intertragic notch, triangular fossa, helix, and anti helix. And talked about how different the ear looks from different angles. Then, she did the same for my nose, and then my b***, and finally, my g*******! And then she encouraged the women to start sketching and said “don’t be embarrassed to take reference pictures and ask the model to position how you’d like to see him, remember he’s here for our reference, don’t be shy!”

OMG, how embarrassing! But fun. Exciting too. As they sat behind their easels and peaked out to look at me, or came out with cell phones to take close ups of my “parts”! All I could think of is them having all those pictures of me in their phones! And my friends weren’t shy at all – they loved it – asking me to open my legs wider, lean my head back, etc. And I could hear them talk among themselves and with the other two girls in the class. They were sharing the photos they took, so my neighbor ended up having a complete collection – I’m guessing over 100 pictures of me! And I could hear the teacher pointing out things in their drawings to help them, and she’d say “come here, I’ll show you!” and they walk up to me, and point at various parts of me. She’d say notice how this line curves over this way or how this is about half the height of that, and so on. It was like I was a piece of meat! They’d point at parts of my body and take pictures like no embarassment at all. She had me kneel on the table, bend over, and spread my cheeks so she could get a picture that showed my scrotum and my a***! The teacher would encourage them to get unusual angles and she kept saying “don’t be shy, he’s there for you, girls!”
