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
Emily,

Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, I have never been employed in the area of nude modeling, nor have I ever employed any nude models, so I'm probably not the best person to be asking this question. That said, I do know that nude models who ARE comfortable with portrayed sexual acts make much more money than those that simply pose nude.

I don't know in which state you reside, but in Los Angeles, CA there is a free newspaper available at newsstands that post ads looking for nude models. Most of the photographers that post ads seeking models are amateur photogs, not professionals, but many do pay.

If you wish to make a career out of this, you need to find a talent agency that represents nude models. Playboy has a modeling agency as does Penthouse. Also there is an agency in Van Nuys, CA called World Modeling Agency. But I will warrn you that World Modeling represents a lot of first-time models, young attractive girls who move to LA and are seduced by "show business." They encourage, and often pressure, their clients to go beyond basic nude modeling into more sexual-type photography and eventually into porn magazines and films where women can make the most money. So it's your call.

That's pretty much all I know about nude modeling. Good luck!
