What would you think if your girlfriend posed nude for an art class?

I haven't seen her naked yet either by the way. She asked what I would think about her doing this. I'm not completely for it. But I told her she can do it if she really wants. She said she could get some money from it and it would help her body image of herself. She has low self esteem when it comes to her weight. I don't know why, she's gorgeous. I just don't want guys drooling over her.
Sure, do it

I feel better about being OK with her doing it after the comments. It really seems like not such a big deal, although I haven't even seen her nude yet. It's hard not to be somewhat envious.

  • I completely understand where you're coming for and while it is justified, trust me its not like that at all. Yes the guys (and girls) will check her out, of course they will but wouldn't it be worse if they didn't. But in an art class the fact that its a person standing in front of you quickly dissolves, you no longer see them as a person but just as a human form. A figure of curves, lines, shapes,texture which you have to portray on canvas. An art class is not full of giggling, horny teenagers and most people there will probably have drawn the human form previously. Its a cliche but its not sexual its art, all under the eye of a teacher/artist who takes their art seriously and will not entertain any drooling.

    I say good for her I wish I had the confidence to do it. Plus who knows you may be the one to reap the rewards of her new found self esteem.

    • this part kinda upset me "But in an art class the fact that its a person standing in front of you quickly dissolves, you no longer see them as a person" I understand that it's art and it's a job/hobby but they are still a person who had to have the guts to stand there and let people paint them. as a side not do the models get to walk around after they are done to look at the paintings?

    • @kairon156: Yeah if the model wants to see, otherwise the teacher instructs the students to close their portraits as the model exits the room. This is what I've been told. I asked about this too.

    • Sorry I didn't mean you don't seem them as a person of course you do its just than you are more focused on the actual form, the shape, shade etc. You're not thinking oh there's Mary's ass. Yeah generally the models look, its up to themselves. They look during breaks or when finished some not all.

  • I am an art student and I have a live nude model class. Everyone is very professional about it, there's never any flirting going on with the models or anything. and coming from my point of view its nice to get a chance to draw variety of people wether they're good/bad looking fat/skinny old/young. And if she is a gorgeous girl standing there naked I doubt any guy in class would hav the balls to flirt with her because they would probly be too intimidated. I say let her do it!

    • i have modeled nude many times for life art classes, it makes me feel good about my body and builds my self esteam to get compliments or know someone likes lookin at your naked body, I have been asked to do private modeling and strips, that is really exciting because now some one is lookin at you sexually :)

  • I understand this may be weird for you, but it's an art class not p*rn. I'm sue they won't drooling over her, they will most likley be very professional and focus more on lines, curves , shades and whatnot

  • I'd honestly be uncomfortable. Ya, it's just the human body, but if she hasn't even shown me and yet she's willing to show complete strangers? Wtf. Something that I'd think should at least be more intimately shown to others yet showing to just some class? Eh... though, in the end, it is her body and her choice, but I don't really know if I'd be interested in a girl that had that kinda mindset. Doesn't really mesh with mine.

    And why must women be so obsessed with vanity? Why do they feel they need to get acceptance from everywhere around the damn world when the person they claim to care about the most (aka their boyfriend/husband/whatever) calls them beautiful? They're not "just saying it." THEY REALLY THINK YOU ARE GOD DAMN IT! Oye.

    • I'm feeling the same pretty much. I don't know why she has to have acceptance from a class full of strangers when I've told her all along. I'm having my doubts seeing her naked myself if she thinks this is the answer to her poor body image. It troubles me. I told her she could do it if it makes her feel better. Although showing yourself naked to one person (who adores you) seems more practical than 20. I have a lot mixed feelings on this. She seems depressed lately.

    • Women make no damn sense and for some reason have problems with attention -_- I just don't get it.

  • Don't worry about it too much. If I was in that class I'd be more focused on my artwork than how hot the model looked. Plus I'm sure there's a lot of guys who don't think of her as anything other than another subject to paint or sketch. Like painting a vase or something. Either way I don't think it'd bother her, and it's not like she's running off to fuck these guys afterward. You don't have much to feel jealous about here.

    Yeah I understand your discomfort, but I'm sure if you took time to think about it rationally, it's really not as bad as all that.

    • Yeah well, you have nothing to worry about. So they see her naked. You're the one who gets to have her. You're the one who takes her home. She gets money and a huge boost of confidence. Did you ever think how that can come back to you? Here's a hint. In a very good way.

  • She should do it!

  • it be cool as long as I get to see the final painting of her

  • I think you would really go up her her estimation if you are mature about this and support her. It's an art class not a strip club, the students are not there to leer at her but to do work. And if you encourage her and she gains confidence from it you will see her naked yourself in due time.

  • Update response: You can ask if she can try to bring a picture home for you or if you can go to the class and stand against a wall to watch.

    • They generally don't allow the models partners due to causing discomfort for everyone

    • that's understandable. what about asking if the girl can take a picture home or would that be too uncomfortable for her?

    • As in asking the artist can the model take it home? Yeah sure it'd be a massive boost of confidence for the artist but they may refuse if they are unhappy with the piece themselves. While you may love it, they may only see the mistakes they made-complex bunch those artists :-P

  • allot of people are saying she's just a subject of art and not a person. this would upset me more than anything else because to me she would be more a person than anything and I would hope the attest students would capture her humanity, her bravery for standing nude in front of strangers to have her picture drawn/painted.

    I would ask if there was any way for me to be in the painting to to show her I'm fine with it and so we can share the experience with it, only thing I would be afraid of is if I got hard than soft than hard over the coarse of the day from the mixture of feelings I would be having. (knowing it would mess with the paintings, not anything to do with showing off or anything)

    • Its not that she's not a person, its just your brain is trained to look at the form otherwise most people wouldn't be able to do it. That's why the atmosphere is actually very relaxed and open. You're not looked upon as someone's mother/father/sister/brother/girlfriend but as a complex form the texture of your skin against your hair , the shade of your skin, the curves of your body, its actually a beautiful thing. And after sketching someone even just their portrait you see them differently

    • that's very cool. I would just like to know if there are ever any male models and if so do they have a problem with keeping their d*** under control or would the atmosphere help keep them relaxed?

    • There's often male models, more often than not posing with a female model. I have never seen one of them get a boner. Probably because yeah the atmosphere is very relaxed, very chilled out, and sometimes serious sometimes humorous. Plus if you saw someone measuring you with a pencil (in order to get perception) I think it'd rid you of any sexual thoughts

  • I would be fine with it because I know that people in an art class are not doing it for p0rn, or entertainment. They are doing ig as a form of learning (for educational purposes). I know that nobody is going to think of her as a whore, or anything like that. And, if she has self-esteem issues, and this can help her, then that is great. So, I would be totally fine with it.

  • I posed in sexy underwear for a magazine while I was in a relationship. He never complained about it...

  • He'd encourage it.

  • word of advice, if you haven't seen her nude yet then sign up for that art class :-P lol jk, but honestly it shouldn't bother you because she comfortable with her body enough but at the same time I can understand why you are iffy about it. tell her how you honestly feel.
