Question
I'm an 18 year old girl and I wanna get into nude modelling. I have some questions, though... First of all, how do I start? I have no idea where to go or what website to go on to become a nude model. Also... I know that nude modelling is not supposed to be sexual so I really shouldn't be worried about anything, but I'm not comfortable with even a little bit of sexuality. So, if I become a nude model, will I ever have to hold a guy's dick while we're both naked? Or have a guy touching my boobs, butt, or pussy while we're both naked? Or hug a guy while we're both naked? I'm okay with horny guys masturbating to me while I'm nude modelling, but I'm just not okay with touching them or them touching me.

Answer
Hi Emily,

When I got this, I wasn't sure what to think. I've decided to take it seriously, but I have my doubts.

As to how to contact the websites, you could go to whois.net to attempt to look up contact info from the name of the site you are looking for.
While this is not really in my area of knowledge, I would imagine that the site owners/photographers put out ads in newspapers to find models. That would be alternative publications in cities, most likely in the back pages.

Your question also brought to mind an old joke: "What's the difference between a cocktail waitress in a men's club and a dancer?" "About 2 weeks!"

While there are sites that focus on "artistic modeling" there are not many according to my sources. Most have more risque' shots, from girls masturbating to girls with other girls and of course, girls with guys. Some have shots of simulated sex acts, but in reality, they usually have the models actually having intercourse/oral sex/etc. That's because that is what sells, sex.

While you may start out doing tame stuff, once you start having money waved in front of your nose, the temptation may overcome your resistance to doing things you were previously uncomfortable with doing.
Of course, there is the darker side of it all, just as in "gentlemen's clubs" there are people who may offer you different substances (illegal ones) to take to loosen up. I will not preach on that. If you are 18 and considering doing this, I would hope you are mature enough to make wise decisions in regards to what you should or should not be doing. This is a path that may seem like a great way to make easy money. There are porn stars who retired early by working hard, staying clean and investing the cash. This is also a path that could take you places you may ask yourself later "how did I get here?"

Be careful,

Taylor
