On Posing Nude

No, not myself, but I did come across 2 boyfriends who entered porn years later. Both were drugged out messes by that point although the 2nd one hid it better.

Yes.

But I didn't "pose".

We didn't know that the guy with the iPhone on the other side of the room was recording.

Yes; I posed for a nude painting and it is now hanging on my wall. It was s great experience and I would love to do it again; I will probably do it in two more years; the last one was when I was 24 (I think?) so I want to treat it as a sort of 10 year project.

I can't possibly know who has cameras and who is filming...

My focus is always on pleasing the Man I am with...

Yes, a few times, for famous photographers, I found it unpleasant and the result disappointing. There's so much work done on the finished project, airbrushing, enhancing, photoshopping, they wanted to erase every little line, they told my I should do something for the tiny lines under my eyes, it was ridiculous. I don't mind aging, I 'm completely OK with wrinkles. Some of the other models who posed, had their 6packs replaced digitally, even though they're professional athletes. It's not even them on the calendars. My ass looked great though, I was proud of that, but I'm blessed in that department. I thought I would like to have the pictures for later, but in fact I don't care at all, I showed them to friends and family, but I think I've destroyed them all now.

Several times. Over twenty years ago. One was for a well known gay porn star transitioning to creating an online porn site and needed picturesfoe content...that was a great experience as he knew how to get me hot and horny and photographed it. Others were non porn nude posing for photographers who planned to do coffee table type books, though I don't think they ever did. They all paid me a couple hundred dollars plus copies of the photos.

I was asked about 20ish years ago by a guy who ran a site out of SF. He ostensibly published a magazine 6 times a year and made videos.

I seriously considered it but in the end decided I just couldn't deal with the lack of control as to where those images went. And the guy turned out to be incredibly flaky - he only published an issue or two a year and had a habit of not paying his models.

I've seen a few photos of myself floating around on Tumblr....they were shared a few times over the years. I didn't mind 99 percent of that, but one photo clearly had my face photoshopped onto another man's body, weirdly. Someone apparently liked my face but....not my body? Okayyy......I mean, plenty of guys who I'd say the same about, but I wouldn't go to the trouble of copying their face and pasting it on someone else's body! LOL

Yes. In the late 90s & early aughts, I was very casual about online nudity because it all seemed so specific to a subculture.

I used to love camming and would spend far too many hours online looking for the right person to jack off with.

Then, very briefly and before paying for camming was a big thing, I had opened a cam model profile on a camming site. All I had to do was fill out a form, sign a consent form. provide a copy of my ID, and my ss# and mail everything in. It was like getting an independent contractor job. I was amazed when I began getting checks in the mail...because I had been doing it for free for so long. Then, the service I was using changed its policy and it became more cumbersome to participate as a model, so I stopped.

I also had profiles on Big Muscle and Gaydar. This was before Grindr and maybe I had a Manhunt profile, too. I had face, body and dick pics up but none of them were a full shot. The first weird thing that happened was someone messaged me on one of the sites to let me know that my profile (and many others) was being used in someone's one man show about dating in San Francisco. The person made it sound to me as if the performer had a screen backdrop running a loop of profiles. That didn't really bother me and I don't even know if it was accurate.

What was more disturbing was when a supplier/vendor for a company I had worked for emailed me. He was gay and was always overly chummy with me in our business interactions. We stayed in touch via email after I left the company. It was always about business opportunities. We never went out socially and I didn't like him much because he was a bit haughty and a little too Canadian. One day out of the blue and at the end of a business email, he added a PS to the effect of "PS: I saw your profile on Manhunt. I never knew you had such a meaty dick!"

How do you respond to that? I did not and never replied and I don't think I ever heard from him again.

I'm sure there were other moments like that but those are the ones that came to mind.

R8 and your profile URL would be.....?

No. But I had a bf whose ex-bf did. It was kinda weird looking at his ex- bf's hard-on.

But now I know what he saw in him.

I did a nude video of myself about 20 years ago and realized I should never be in front of the camera again.

Helle

I posed nude almost 20 years ago for a nudist website. Their content was photos/DVDs of public nudity. I was a customer who became a casual acquaintance and visited their office, and eventually a very amateurish model. I did a couple of quick Halloween pics as a nude waiter out on 7th and Folsom. I was fat one year and slimmer the next. I got fatter again.

^ thanks for the laugh

I have posed nude for artists. Honestly, it was kinda hellish to stay still for over an hour.

Yes, did Cam4 and the others a lot. My solo pics and videos are out there. Last Saturday I had my guy film taking my ass. Was with my phone so I sent only what I wanted in someone else's hands. I wanted to see what the all my tops have raved about over the last 27 years for myself. First time ever videoing with anyone.

[quote]Have you ever posed nude for a magazine, done porn or broadcast yourself on Chaturbate or Cam4? Have you ever posed nude in public or for a drawing class? Have you ever stumbled upon a friend or co-worker's nude photo or Chaturbate broadcast online?

No. No. No. But I did come across a porn video starring an acquaintance, who got into porn while he was an addict. He is recovery now and regrets doing porn. I seem to remember that he used his real name, so the porn comes up anyone googles his name.

Yes, on stage. Also for two fine art photographers. Also had a really popular profile on BigMuscle and was offered a screen test with Men At Play (turned them down because I’d already fucked Dean Monroe). I’ve seen my photos shared on Tumblr, always with 4-figure likes. It’s fine, didn’t ruin my life.

There are so many nude pics out there these days it doesn't really matter, especially with some pics you took 5-10 years ago.

Yes. Was a stripper briefly. Hated every millisecond of it and if I'm honest with myself, I definitely fucked me up.

^ *it

I posed for a naked sketch class in 2019. Never thought I do something like that, but do not regret it.

When I was in San Francisco escorting in my 20s I got tons of offers to do videos. But the most I was offered was 1000 bucks--not worth it. And about 12 years ago I posted on a "rental" website. I was superfit. It was kind of pricey to post but turned out really worth it.. Great experience. Got tons of responses.

We are all nude...under our clothes.

R18, are you Australian? I saw Dean went back into porn with Cocky Boys a few years back... Wonder if he still does the odd scene or 2 now?

R18 Classiest of the studios, in my opinion.

This thread is useless without pictures.

Only men came to my posing session, so it was like being in a locker room.

Yes. Years ago, I was, briefly, a life model for a local art college. It was demanding work. The art teacher just sat in the corner reading a newspaper, I had to manage the class, deciding on poses, length of pose etc. Anyway, when I had enough money for new contact lenses I quit. I remember, after class, I was waiting for a bus back into town when a few students from the class came along. I said, Hi, I didn't recognize you with my clothes on. They said nothing, just backed away.

Yes, I went through a period of going on Chaturbate and Cam4. Means to an end. Quick, safe sex orgasm and I’ve always been a bit of an exhibitionist and voyeur. Flash forward to the past year. I got involved with a guy who it turned out broadcast regularlyon various websites. What was initially a bit exciting soon turned a bit boring and I realized he is a narcissistic sex addict (or rather a “solo” sex addict) It got to the point that was the extent of our sex life. I felt like I was invited about once a week as a “special guest” star for his exhibitionist cam sessions. At one point I managed to convince myself that it was OK, at least he wasn’t whoring around but when I realized he would get on cam the minute I would leave the house I was done.

[quote] Only men came to my posing session, so it was like being in a locker room.

There was a men's drawing group which used to meet in West Hollywood where the guys would take turns posing nude each week.

Back in the late 80s I hooked up at the baths with a guy who worked for Bear Magazine and he offered me a photoshoot, but I turned it down. Too self-conscious, and it wouldn't have helped my career any... No regrets. Oddly enough, the guy I lost my virginity to ended up as an editor for that magazine some years later. Small world.

Lol mostly anyone who did it on here did it before we had internet or electricity. Our boys were at the Worlds Fair. Those husbands had needs too! And the ones who weren’t marrying types, they were always the best customers!

Yes! I was 18 in 99/2000 and as a joke, answered an ad in the back pages of LA Weekly for nude modeling. It was for the same guy who did the infamous Simon Rex j/o videos, Brad Posey. I actually felt really hot and sexy doing it. From there, I did nude modeling for twink magazines. In the early Y2K there were very basic sites like the Chaterbate model, but I received per/hour payment on top of commissions. Someone recognized me from real life, didn't disclose anything about themselves, and started putting my personal info in the chat screen for all to see. I was done after that. As a college student, it gave me enough spending money to just enjoy school and not need to work.

I have also done artier nude modeling just for "artists on Craigslist" but some of the photos came out really cool.

^^^I would also say that these shoots would often end with consensual sex and I really did enjoy it. I had an 18 year old BFF who followed my lead but she ended up getting into hardcore porn and prostitution pretty much lasting until current day. She loves hooking and loved meth, but is clean now.

How cum no one talks about getting horny and getting boners and needing to unload?

This thread is useless without pics. (I understand why, though.)

I am the camera

How many of you also slept with the photographer? Honest question. I don't know how you wouldn't. The circumstances seems to favor it.

Yes I did some semi-amateur porn for a website. I haven't got a great body, so no regular porn studio would ever employ me (I did look into it) but I have got a big cock.

The vast majority aren't there any more, the last one I did was well over a decade ago. But they made an impact, I get recognised on apps occasionally. I even had a real fan who'd saved some and sent me copies of 4 or 5 of them.

I've been recognised in the street a couple of times too, which is kind of weird. But incredibly flattering. Like I say - I don't have a great body or much confidence about myself. Doing porn was a (very) extreme may of challenging my body image hang ups.

Most gay friends know I did it (when my first one went live I got tons of messages asking if it was me in the video). Even though it was never professional there is a cache to certain people of having done porn. I'm always honest about it, and if they call me a 'porn star' I always correct them.

I never look at them myself, but if they're still floating around somewhere and someone is getting off on them - well that's what they were made for. I hope they gave people some pleasure to look at. It was a hell of lot of fun making them.

I didn't sleep with the director / guy behind the site - we're both strict tops. We did do the occasional threesome though.

Nothing commercial. I have let a couple of fuck buddies film us without faces. I've tried the cam thing but find it boring. I'm way too old to make any money at it. My glory days were pre-internet.

My first husband was a Mel Roberts model in the 60s.

I have seen a few friends turn up in professional porn photo shoots and videos over the years.

I posed nude for an older boyfriend while I was a student at Wake Forest in the early 80’s. He took about 100 photos. I often worry that they might be online, somewhere.

[quote] How many of you also slept with the photographer? Honest question. I don't know how you wouldn't. The circumstances seems to favor it.

Sometimes. Back in the early aughts, a lot of the guys who were starting the first interactive porn sites were often straight, young middle eastern bros my age. They were definitely straight and it would be funny to see them direct the poses while being straight bros - "smile like this, look up to the camera like this", etc. The ones that were gay, we might not have fucked all the time, but usually got off together in some way after the shoot. I once did a shoot with this hot Israeli model, no sex in the shoot, but we fucked afterwards. It was hot.

I don't GIVE IT AWAY, OP. If a man wants this good thing, he has to make it well worth my while.

I posed nude five or six times for an art class when I was in my twenties.

I let a guy take pics of me in S&M gear.

He promised not to include my face, but who knows if he did or not. I never saw them

An old FB of mine, who’s in his 50’s but has an absolutely rocking body, did Chaturbate one summer and ended with a few thousand dollars.

R45 did you every get hard while posing?

When I lived in NYC there was an endless crop of chorus boys all-too-willing to pose. It wasn't hard to talk them out of their clothes.

About 20 years ago, my partner and I posed nude for a photographer acquaintance in DC. The photos were just okay, but neither of us are prime gays, so I think it was on us and probably not the skill of the photographer. Other than the 8x10 he printed for us, we never printed any other of the negatives. I wish I knew where we put the negatives, because I'd love to see how we changed. Maybe even print a few more. A mutual friend told us that the photographer told him that he was hard the entire time he was taking shots but didn't want to be unprofessional. I wish I could remember his name. In those days, watermarks that might have told me his name were not common

My regret is that about 40 years ago, I had a very good friend in Atlanta that was very good friends with the photographer - now long gone - Roger Rutherford. Quite an accomplished photographer, and in the days when B&W nude male photography was popular, Rutherford had many shows in Atlanta, and eventually had a line of cards, sold across the country, showcasing his nude male photography.

The regret is that when my friend and I went to Rutherford's studio for the first time, for some reason he was immediately very interested in photographing me. I have no idea why; as I mentioned, I'm not a prime gay. But he wanted to photograph me right then and there, and despite the encouragement of my good friend, I declined - low self esteem. Rutherford, though disappointed, did let me select a few of his original photographs to take with me, and later after buying some of his cards commercially over the years, he autographed them all for me. B&W male nudes are now a cliche, but because they're great photos, and because I knew the photographer, I still have many framed and hanging in less public rooms of my house.

Big regret. He was so skilled he might have been able to make me look good, if not hot.

Went to a gay men's drawing group for a few years. Generally fun but uneventful, though there was one night when the model didn't show and one of the artists, a fit daddy type stood in for him. During the break some wine-fueled making out ensued which was fun to watch.

Did anybody ever do or know someone who did Tubtime with Tate? For awhile there, it seemed like everybody with a waist 36" and under was doing that.

I was a camwhore for about a year and a half. It’s how I met my boyfriend.

In 1995, I took some beautiful nude photos of a friend of mine who was Hot AF and loved being naked (he's bi). I have a photography background from college, so the photos were very artistic. My friend was 25 at the time and in perfect shape. (I was his fluffer, of course !)

We sent a few of them in to Playgirl, as they had their monthly contest for 'real guys'. Sure enough, he came in second place and won $200. If he came in first place, he would have been paid more and they would have done a whole pictorial on him with their photographer. He was much hotter than the guy who won (who later became a porn star). Anyhow, about nine months later, Playgirl got in touch with my friend and wanted him and me (the photodrpher) to go to NYC and meet with them for a few days - at their expense. They were impressed with him as well as my photography. They wanted to do a whole centerfold pictorial on him, which would have been published in early 1997. They also wanted to see my portfolio and if I had any interest in freelancing for them. They set everything up for us and we were to meet with the editor about eight weeks after firming everything up. Sure enough, about three weeks later - the editor was 'let go' and an new editor was broiught in (this is when they had a revolving door of editors and staff). They 'postponed' our meeting indefinitely - as they seemed to be going with less masculine / muscled / guy next door looking models around then (which was the beginning of the end for them). What could have been...

In the meantime, I met up with my friend this past summer after not seeing him in person for about ten years (he had moved away and then moved back earlioer this summer). At 52 years old, he looks better than ever. He let his dark hair go 'silver' but he's still got the beautiful body and handsome face. He looks to be in his late 30s. And he's still hung and knows what to do with it.

There used to be a straight muscle trainer at my gym who is so full of himself. He is a bit of an exhibitionist. I don't mind it because cocky kind of turns me on. But sometimes when he gets too full of himself, I am dying to tell him that I saw his nude jackoff video for Sean Cody years ago, so no I am not some gay dying to see him naked, I can see your cock anytime I want to. His name was Alexander on there or something. He had a bit of a Gonzo's nose situation going on with his cock. He is a handsome guy but a bit too huge right now, and a bit long in the tooth to be as vapid and self-centered as he is.

Links please.

R34 loved the Brad Posey shoots. He had some super hot young guys and loved to see his flirtatious interactions with them. Did he jack you off or more?

This thread is worthless without pics.

One time I was in NYC shooting a film. My gf still had her parts to finish. I get a call from some artist guy. Wants to paint me nude. I'm a stud so I'm like ok. It ended up being at the Guggenheim in 20 foot tall panels. It was an ode to his bf in England or something.

An artist I follow on IG has a nice stream of models posing nude for him. He has a real following.

R60 - thanks for sharing.

I wonder who the one on the left is in r60.

I put video of myself 15 years ago on one of the bigger sites that went down permanently awhile back. So glad I did it before that stuff was mainstream.

R57 - Yep, we actually did jack off together. He said that he did j/o with the other models. I was horny after the shoot so it was hot. If it were Simon, it would have been much hotter, but sadly he is straight.

R60

The beauty of the site - beyond the artistic drawings - is that he draws men with 'normal' bodies; no huge muscles, no exaggerated body parts. Beautiful, 'Regular Joe' men.

Refreshing.

R55 Here. I don't think he is on the Seancody site anymore but there is a history of him online. His name was Alexander on there. He just have done the video ages ago.

Years ago this guy I had a crush on a guy who lived in one of those 24 hour cam apartments in NYC. It was called apartment24 . It was in NYC on 28th street in Chelsea between 8th and 9th Ave. To hang out with him I had to sign a waiver to enter the apartment. I was young and I did it. There had to be sex between the guys who lived there contractually, meaning they had to create content. There were three guys who lived there, one of whom was dating Benny Medina at the time. I think I ended up fucking my buddy on cam one night and there were other jackoff parties and such. After a while you forget there are always cameras, or it's just in the back of your mind hoping that no one will recognize you. I did see myself in some of the logged videos, but not really clearly. Fortunately the site was a bust and its content was swallowed up by a much larger site - one of those that offer like access to 20 sites with one membership. That site ended up going out of business too and now I don't think there is any trace of it online. Too bad. Twenty years later now it would be a hoot to see.

Dave did....again.

As did Duncan.

And David.

On being attractive

I know I’m attractive. It is nice when people treat me special because they find me hot.

^ is this on your Wishlist??

r66's guy is hot. Too bad it seems like he only did solo - I don't seen any where the mans goes up into the mans.

I posed for a group of gay artists a few years ago. I'm no model type but I got a few calls afterwards from the group guys for dates. Good times.

R73 he is the same guy in my post at R55. He was the straight trainer at my gym. His instagram is just him posing over and over again. He's gotta be in his late 30s by now.

Thirty years or so ago, when I was dating a porn actor, he urged me to do an audition with Falcon. I was curious and went along with it. It resulted in me playing a role in one of their films. Everyone could not have been nicer, and it went very well. I was asked back but declined because of concerns about my new job with CBS in Television City.

I don't regret doing it at all. I felt great about how I looked and was really turned on by the experience.

This thread reminds of Moira Rose's advice on Schitt's Creek about posing nude. Do It!

I’m a photographer and work with porn stars and guys who do nude shoots.

My first observation is people who are open to do it are usually guys who have nothing to lose. 90% of the submissions I get are guys who are old or out of shape or not attractive. So they have a lot of confidence because they don’t care! I respect that and I respectfully turn them down cause they won’t pay my bills as a photographer.

The really good looking guys are typically shy and insecure or have a lot going for them that they believe getting naked could hurt their future.

I’ve heard people on DL say naked muscle heads are everywhere. They aren’t. They’re a very small population of men and there’s even a smaller pool of ones who are willing to get naked.

I know photographers in NYC and even LA (which shocks me) who fly guys in to do shoots! The fact that LA photographers have to pay to fly guys in shows how dry shooting men can be.

R78 are you finding that younger guys who have grown up on the internet and zero privacy are more open to posing nude and being seen? I am amazed at how many people there are online just jacking off on their own, making their own videos for people to see. There seem to be hundreds of thousands of them.

Alex Cayetano should pose nude.

R64 Post your photo from then - for old time’s sake!

ElderGay here - Many Polaroid nude pix, I was proud of my body and my fb liked to take pictures of me. I am SO grateful this was before the interweb. Very private. We still enjoy looking at them.

My pants fell down in a Target once and I was not wearing underware does that count?

R79 Not really.

I feel like hundreds of thousands (which I think might be too many lol) isn’t a lot compared to the millions of younger guys out there or even millions of girls doing it.

And it’s all spread out geographically. Like I said, porn studios and photographers fly guys out in LA and Vegas, you’d think they’d have a good picking there but they don’t!

I'm beginning to wonder if there are ANY young guys nowadays who don't have nudes out on the web.

Yes. I once posed nude for Francesco Scavulo. It was a horrible experience. Not only didn’t he look up from his drink, they threw me out of Monkey Bar.

When I was in my 20s and going to college I worked out and kept in great shape.. While taking art classes I was asked if I would be interested in modelling for the class and if I would be comfortable being completely nude. After thinking it over for a couple of days I told my instructor yes. On the first day I was to pose I was sent to a changing area in the back of the studio and put on a robe. As I stepped up onto the posing block I felt very nervous, heart beating fast, but just went ahead and dropped the robe and tried to keep my mind off any thoughts that might get me aroused and hard. This was the first time I had ever been nude in front of a large group of people and these were my own classmates and peers. I felt better as the session went on and ended up modelling for two other classes.

Do you remember when it was a big deal when a president smoked weed during his life? Now, we know we've had known cokeheads sitting in the office. I suspect, (and I hope I'm around to see it) we will have a president with nudes on the internet.

I filmed myself masturbating when I was a teen. It was hot, my fuck buddy creamed over and over again when I showed it to him.

There has been a resurgence of boudour photography.

I’ve never done it, but I dated photographer Mark Henderson back in the day.

I reconnected with I’m recently, but he hasn’t invited me to a shoot…yes.

[quote] I posed nude five or six times for an art class when I was in my twenties.

Did you ever get hard?
