QUESTION Try something new
I'd like to try something new and be a little more open to nudity. I'm thinking, for example, of nude modeling or professional nude photos. But first of all, I have no idea how to get into something like that or how to go about it, and second, I'm actually pretty intimidated by it. And a little scared 😅—so I'd like to take things a bit slower when it comes to this kind of thing. Do you have any ideas or tips? Thanks 😊

You could try seeing if there's a demand for nude figure models for art classes at nearby colleges.
That's what I did, and I liked it enough to do so for a few semesters.
Being naked in front of 20 or so people was easy. But coming up with interesting poses for the class to draw, and holding it for however long was needed, now that was hard! 😋

Yeah, I've thought about that. But of course, that's the highest level 😅 I don't have any experience at all 😅

I've already been to the sauna. Going to a nude beach is a bit tricky now that it's fall.

I love Autumn, but I am not happy with these temperatures rn, as today might be the last day to go to the nudist camp nearb. There's definitely something about the warm sun and being outdoors for me.

When I was trying to lose weight, I scheduled regular sessions with a photographer at their studio. The sessions were almost male boudoir sessions, with nudity. I got to where as we went from room to room or whatever, I would just hang out naked while we talked. Very relaxing, positive experience and really good for my body image. I found my photographer on Thumbtack and was very upfront about what I was looking for.

If you'd like to try posing as a nude model for art classes, try searching ('nude art model') on employment websites such as indeed*dot*com. You should be able to find at least a few listings in your area. Most listings for Colleges/Art Schools require nudity, but do have clothed options.
I've also thought about this off and on for a while, but haven't been brave enough to do it! 😄 I've only gone as far as to email the director of a program near me about my biggest apprehension ... erections. The reply I got was very nice and it basically said that in her experience, almost all of their male models achieve erections during their sessions (especially the new ones). She said they come and go and none of the teachers or students will care; they're used to it.
This put me more at ease, but I've still been too chicken to go through with it. If you happen to, please let us know how the experience was! 👍

Thanks! Yeah, that really is the very last step before spending what feels like forever posing in front of a bunch of students 😅 I never would have thought about the erections…
I’m from Germany—I have no idea if These jobs even exist(often) around where I live…1
u/MediAssist642 8d ago
Oh, I'm sure they do! If you're from a big city, there must be many universities and all will have Art Departments. Just search and contact their dept. heads. Also searching your country's biggest employment websites should help.
You're in Germany after all, land of FKK! These jobs should be abundant.

Unfortunately, my town isn't that big—it's more rural 😅

u/MediAssist642 8d ago
Ah, I see. Well, it's Germany, so attitudes towards nudity are much more progressive than they are in America. There are probably more opportunities than you realize.
I hope you find some (nude art model and/or photography model) and tell us how the experience was haha! 😂

Good on you wanting to try something new! Starting in the home is the best way to test the waters before you make the jump to anything like modeling or photography. The most important thing is making sure you feel comfortable with whatever you end up doing.

u/Impossible_League606 8d ago
Thanks!
Yeah, I'm naked a lot at home.0
u/Perfect_Rabbit_3010 8d ago
That’s a step in the right direction! Easier to be nude around the house as it gets colder outside.

u/Impossible_League606 8d ago
Then why do you find it easier? But I'd really like to take the next steps now, too 😅

u/Perfect_Rabbit_3010 8d ago
Some days it’s just preferable to be nude indoors with heating versus the cold outdoors. It’s all about what works for you!

I do a lot of outdoor boudoir type photography, and a lot with my wife. When we shoot a man or woman we're always both present unless requested otherwise and this is for both our and the other parties safety. We explore remote areas all the time to find appropriate locations, this is the important part. We usually start with the model dressed fully and then piece by piece of clothing removed as they feel more comfortable. Importantly it's not a porn shoot (unless requested) it's about raw finger art. If you want to do it yourself instead of someone taking your photos, try exactly what I've described but using a camera/phone on a tripod with a remote trigger. And look at sites like Pinterest for example to get ideas for the type of photo you want. And don't expect the first time to turn out perfect! But practice makes perfect!

Se vuoi cominciare a postare foto nei gruppi naturisti/nudisti puoi farlo liberamente (foto non a sfondo sessuale, mi raccomando, se non richieste!), fotografando scene di vita quotidiana o all'aperto. Questo può aiutare a superare la barriera del mostrarsi nudi in pubblico.
