Would you pose nude for your father or mother?
No way in heck... would I ever pose or would I have posed for either of my parents. now or ever... Regardless of if they knew what they were doing.. and definately not nude.. now or ever.. However.. I did pose nude for a female photographer MANY, MANY, Many Centuries ago (well it feels like centuries), And she was the MOTHER of one of my best friends.. actually my best female friend.. and I aint gonna tell you any more about it. And dat's da truth... (Edith Anne) Mar 23 06 09:36 pm Link OK, you whetted our curiosity. We want to hear more! Mar 23 06 10:40 pm Link I'm sure everyone will say they were the victum of the infamous "Ooh look (insert name here)'s little tushy mooing us from the bathtub" .. And yes I have taken my Mom to one of the nude shoots I've done, and she didnt have any problem with it.

I mean really, your parents have seen it all and unless you grew up in some sexually perverted household, you should be able to put your sexual hang ups aside for a PHOTOGRAPH with mommy or daddy behind the camera. Then again, it seems people cant seperate nudity from sex in the first place. I've been all over the world and people actually laugh at us crazy Americans when it comes to Nudity. In sweeden entire families hit the sauna butt naked, and if you squirm as a visitor they laugh at you. Mar 23 06 11:24 pm Link No.... mostly because I don't think I'd be able to stop laughing at my Dad or encouraging my Mom. Heather  Mar 24 06 12:21 am Link I DID!!!!! of course I was just born.. lol Mar 24 06 12:30 am Link Id pose nude for my mom or dad if they knew what they were doing lol Neither even know how to work a camera very well, so I doubt that would be happening. Only way it would turn out to be weird is if either made a sexual comment then I would worry lol but yeah posing nude and posing sexually nude are 2 different things. I doubt Id be doing spread shots for either. That may be taking it abit far lol but just being naked would be fine. Mar 24 06 01:15 am Link See.... Mar 24 06 01:17 am Link Boy the opinions run all over the board on this one. Mar 24 06 05:53 am Link Having grown up in a house with a very healthy attitude towards casual nudity, and then spending most of my summers for 3 years with friends at a nudist resort, I'd have to say it wouldn't bother me one bit. I'd pose for my parents nude, I'd shoot my parents nude. No qualms either way. Mar 24 06 06:48 am Link I wouldn't pose for my parents nude, but if I had a nice shot from a photog I wouldn't mind showing my mom. My dad on the other hand, would only see it if the shot made me famous. Mar 24 06 07:05 am Link fuck no! i don't care how artically incline they may be...this is not england and i def don't have the Oedipus complex. Mar 24 06 07:06 am Link My daughter is a model, once she is 18, if she were to ask me to shoot her nude, I would and if I were to ask her to, again, once she is of age, she would do it. What's the big deal? There is nothing sexual about it, it's not like your parents would be shooting and drooling over your 'alleged hotness'...geez Americans really need to get a grip over the whole nudity issue. Mar 24 06 07:32 am Link I seem to recall a article in Playboy where the father photographer shot his daughter nude for the magazine. But that has been years and years ago. bs Mar 24 06 07:37 am Link This is a very interesting thread as it expands on the theory of how we are raised or our learned beliefs about nudity. In my humble opinion, and I'm sure I've stated before somewhere, Americans are more afraid of nudity than the occurence of a nuclear attack. Nudity in of itself should not illicit sexual thinking, but in many I know it does, which is unfortunate. It limits one to being totally free, both in mind and body. Hopefully everybody sees a nude body every morning when they shower or bath. If not, I'm not sure I would be around them much. I think being naked is more of an emotional state of mind. If you're nude and have a mindset of embarrassment then you may be naked. Ok, I'm now rambling, sorry. Would I pose for my mother, probably not since her thinking is of victorian/puritanical nature. Would I shy away if she accidently sees me nude, NO.

It was a story that followed a young woman from her teens into her twenties. Mar 24 06 10:23 am Link If I could get my devout JW dad to shoot me naked, I would pose. It'll never happen, so I don't need to worry about it. Until then, I'm sure there are OTHER people's parents who know how to use a camera that I can pose for. Mar 24 06 10:43 am Link My wife's mom has seen her nude plenty of times and it doesn't bother her (although her mom isn't a photographer)--if she was a camera jockey, I'm sure she'd have no problem posing. I'd pose for her mom, but not my own parents....I guess I got into the semi-nudist thing too late to be OK with it around them. My daughter is too young for me to even think about modeling at that level, but my 11-year old stepdaughter has the look. If she wanted to pose nude when she turned 18 (classy nudes, of course - not porn or sexual work), I'm sure I and her mom would be OK with it. Might not be the same thing as having her REAL dad takes those kind of photos though. Mar 24 06 10:55 am Link Alan from Aavian Prod wrote: Interesting. I met Mariya Carradine at an acting workshop in Hollywood (Davids grandaughter), and talked with her in length over dinner at 'Casa Vega'. She never mentioned anything about the Playboy incident... but then again... being a leading actress at the workshop... it may have been information that she wouldnt choose to bring up 'over dinner'... if ya know what I mean... Mar 24 06 11:06 am Link If I was pregnant and wanted to get some artistic nudes of my pregnancy, then I would definitely let me dad do the shots. My dad is a photographer. My mother on the other hand isn't artistically inclined when it comes to photography, but if she was then I would pose nude for her as a model. Your parents created you and have seen many naked people before you were born, so why should it be a big deal. The naked body is beautiful, and should not be seen as nothing but sexual when it comes to sheer artistic vision.

Mar 24 06 08:06 pm Link I would never. I cant even walk around with my shirt off in front of my mother..lol Mar 24 06 08:11 pm Link No way...that's why I don't think it's okay to show the whole world...I'm one of the few people who still have morals!! Mar 24 06 08:19 pm Link I don't think it is that big of a deal. I was raised in a very open house. I wouldn't feel weird at all. To many people in America see a nude picture and assume that it is ment to be sexual. My life drawing teacher and his wife went to go see one of his models bellydance at a bar. When his wife told a coworker about it, the first thing he asked is if she was a nude model. She said yes and he gasped. "I can't believe your ok with this," he said. She asked why she wouldn't be, it isn't like drawing her in the nude is anything sexual. He shook his head and said "don't you know that it is always sexual." This seems to be the mentality of most people in America. Nude=sexual Mar 24 06 08:23 pm Link Wolfs Eye Photography wrote: Actually, not really.

Mar 25 06 10:36 am Link Jon S Chen wrote: my sentiments exactly!!! Mar 25 06 10:42 am Link I had an interesting experience with a model who brought her parents along as an escorts. They wanted to make sure their 18 year old daughter wasn't being taken advantage of, and that nothing inappropriate would ever end up on the internet. Her father was a sculpture who had done a lot of work with nude models, but during the shoot only her mother stayed in the room. Her mother even helped get her prepped (it was a shoot that involved some elements like body painting and I needed an extra set of hands). It was kind of nerve racking having her parents there at first, feeling suspect, but she seemed to have no problem posing topless around her mom. The shoot came out great as well. As for me, I would never feel comfortable posing for my parents if they were artists. -Scorp Mar 25 06 10:45 am Link dani faye wrote: Just to be clear, you're saying being nude in front of other people is not moral?
