Ladies of Zity - visually aroused?

Okay, so I know everyone is different and has different tastes. That being said I'd like some input from the lady members here.

I have done some life modeling for various art classes in my past (nude modeling) - first many years ago in college and as recently as about a year ago.

Last month at a college alumni meeting I met up with one of the more talented art students who drew me. (The courses on campus did not feature nude models - conservative school - but I did nude model for an off campus art studio where some students/ former students attended). She is married now, but confessed that she had a huge crush on me when we were in school. We had a few drinks and a few laughs, and toward the end of the evening (when she was a little tipsy) she told me "I used to masturbate furiously after each of your sessions." We laughed and when I said that I was clueless and had no idea she was interested in me, she said "oh no, it was purely physical."

I attributed a lot of that to the fact that we attended a rather conservative church based school and she was just acting on what the school culture was repressing. But it got me thinking about my most recent modeling gigs.

While I've done some private commissions (primarily for a friend who is a lesbian) I did some "open drawing" sessions at the artist co-op.

A large part of my kink is CFNM, but the thought that some of the artists are turned on by my sessions adds a new layer.

So - after that very (unnecessarily) long post, my question:

Do you / would you get aroused seeing a nude man (hopefully attractive) in a setting that is not necessarily sexualized and where he is off limits, so to speak?

As with most things ‘it depends’. Looks alone? Channing Tatum? Yes! Steve Buscemi? No.

That being said, I strongly suspect that Buscemi could talk me out of my pants easier than Tatum could as I find him much more interesting as a person.

I wouldn't have any interest in seeing a nude man, attractive or not, whatever that means, in any situation other than one where we had already established mutual interest and trust.

^This times 100. ❤️❤️

Yes. Nudity alone will not start big fever inside my body but imagining certain scenarios will :-)

Thanks for the replies ladies.

What you said makes sense. I've never experienced any indication that I was ever more than an object when modeling.

In the case mentioned below:

1. Janice and I knew each other. We had classes together, went to mandatory chapel together, and had mutual friends, so we frequently hung out together in a group setting. We saw each other frequently on campus.

2. There was a lot of repressed sexuality at that campus.

3. She was pretty tipsy at the alumni function.

I'm on the same page as Annette1997. Even if the male was a Richard Geer type seeing him nude alone wouldn't start the fire but imagining he and I, after a glass of good scotch, cuddling in front of a fireplace on a cold, snowy winter night could get the juices flowing.

Well said! It seems for guys they just have to see a random naked woman and are at DEFCON 3. We might be ‘oh he’s yummy’ but it takes a bit more than that.

My husband says. "When I was in high school, I used to get an erection walking past the local donut shop." Then he adds, "There were two sexy girls who worked there." He also claims that the hardest thing in the world is to not have an erection when you don't want one. He says you can think about spaghetti, grave years, anything but they won't go away. I told him. "The next time we have sex I want you to try not having an erection." lol!

In college, I had two roommates that were dancers. I went to the place where they worked with them a few times. Maybe it is different for women than men. The two roommates I had were gorgeous. They used to walk around nude all the time and even dance. At the clubs, it was illegal for the girls to touch the men and the men to touch the girls. That was considered a no-no. If they touched during a dance that was considered a dirty dance. The club and the girl would get fined $1200.00. Some girls had long hair and used it. They would bend over and flip their hair in a guy's lap and they would squat down blowing their warm breath on the guy's crotch. Sometimes touching the guys with their hands. If it was slow and none of the guys were tipping one of my roomies would give me a lap dance. What the guys did not see was the girl would flip her hair over my crotch and she would reach between my legs and slip me a ten. As she came up I would slide that same ten in her g-string or t-bar depending on what she was wearing and guys would start yelling and tipping like crazy. Would I be turned on? Nope for some reason I would not be. At home was a whole other story. They would strip me and get me dancing and tip me. I never did it in public. I was way too shy. But at home, I would go all out and they would even slide their fingers in me when they would be practicing on me. Those girls were not going home with any of the guys at the end of the night. They are in it for money. They have to tip out the bartender, the bouncers, the club, and DJ. The rest is theirs. The two I lived with on a really bad slow night would still make $600.00 and on payday nights in the multiple thousands. They could keep making that unless their body broke down or they started looking old or got on alcohol or drugs or went into porn. Or killed themself which happened.

But seeing another girl naked doesn't do much for me. Plus being a nurse. It has to be some physical attention and attraction for me.

This thread is aimed at female members only. There are several clues in the title and the opening post, that the OP is specifically asking for the views of women.

He is not asking men to say whether they are aroused by the sight of a nude woman.

He is not asking men to say whether they believe women are aroused by the sight of a nude man.

He is not asking men for their views on the subject at all.

He is asking women.

@Nurse_Phillips Thank you!

@Tabitha32 Your post certainly conjures up some provocative imagines. Perhaps the lava is flowing but enough to know I have a volcano. lol!

@Tabthia32 I would have loved being friends with you and your roommates back in the day. I had by nurse friends as enemates and lovers but the nude dancers had to be over the top!

@Real_Screamer We always put on clothes if someone was over.

I appreciate the feedback (and the moderator actions).

I never understood the guys who did unsolicited dick-pics or went out of their way to flash their junk at random women - and that's definitely not what I was getting at in this post.

As @Nurse_Phillips, @Annette1997, @Tabitha32, @ddell2 and others have alluded to, random male nudity can either be taken in a threatening manner or is just not an interesting or arousing thing - that's why I was asking about male nudity in a controlled/safe/ non-sexual manner - in my case, primarily as a nude life model.

Having spoken with several artists, I know that the model (male or female) is mostly seen as an object - a much more complex object than a bowl of fruit, or as one put it, a life model is a more complex bowl of fruit from which an artist must attempt to capture an identity and personality.

Thinking about this post and responses, I think it really comes down to the individual - but mostly it comes down to interaction and identity outside of the studio. It is difficult for personality to come out in a modeling session - there are unwritten "rules" and norms that cover artist/model interaction in the studio. When I'm modeling, I largely tune out the artists and kind of enter a meditation like zone in my head - which furthers that dynamic. I guess that's why I was so taken aback by the comment that prompted this post.

Janice (the woman at the alumni function) and i had extensive interaction outside of the studio, before and after the modeling sessions. But even knowing that artist or model interact outside of the studio does not necessarily mean that those norms are abandoned.

If I were to modify my original question, it would be to ask: If it was a man that you knew, that you saw nude in a safe environment - but I think that we've covered that - it depends. It depends on how well you knew the person, how you felt about them, and what the circumstances were.

I appreciate everyone's input. I haven't done any nude modeling in months, but I have done some life modeling (mostly hand portraits). I hope to resume in the fall
