Great memories.
I was struggling after my freshman year in college. I was working but all hard manual labor. I met an art teacher who told me the pay for being a life model. Easy work, good money, and I could be naked - that was a no brainer!!!
Not since I was a little boy running nude through the farm fields and woods, and as a teenager, did I enjoy myself more.
I admit I was concerned at first about an erection, but I was coached by an experienced model how to not get aroused and if I did get hard, just let it happen. I was not the first life model, nor the last one, to pop a boner in art class.
I worked with another guy once (action figures) that was so comfortable being naked that after the class he walked around to view the drawings and talk to the artists - without his robe. I started doing this and got more work. Win - Win.
I began in 1969 and still enjoy being a life model or naked around and with people.
Get out of your comfort zone and experience and enjoy the empowered freedom in this life !!!
