For some reason photoshoots turn me on like crazy. Sometimes I don't really realize it until I'm driving home, but almost always my husband gets mauled when I get home from a shoot. Does this happen with anyone else?

Has your husband ever thought about a career as a photographer?.. wink

No, but it does explain why your husband sent a mass mailing to every photographer in Illinois begging us to book you.

In all seriousness, maybe a few times, especially when I'm doing one of my erotica projects, but nothing that raised me too far above the base state. Of course, my base state is somewhere between most people's "Feeling pretty good" and "It's my honeymoon" states.

When I am shooting I am focused on what I am doing. When done with the shoot,
                                                          YES!

I guess your husband's favorite words are " Honey I have a shoot today!" I find I am too busy worrying about details most of the time. Most of the time

At the best Photography supply store , we buy a Penis sack.

Drop the Gonzo in there, and it prevents any erections for occuring.

Understandalbe--photography can be a emotionally stimulating experience and sometimes being about beauty it can be a great source of affirmation that extends beyond the set of the photograph. I had a model tell me that being on set was Orgasmic!!

I'm wierd.  Photographing a nude, or nearly nude woman really doesn't excite me.  I'm much more likely to be turned on by seeing a woman do something i rarely see.  Like washing my car, cooking me dinner or trying to fix a leaky faucet.

Yeah, hubby loves the days I have shoots! smile
And usually I am focused while we are shooting, it's just during breaks and afterwards when I have time to reflect that I notice I need to get home and quick!
Sometimes the photographer is incredibly sexy and concentration is a little harder to come by on those shoots. I find it hard to believe that any red blooded male photographer isn't turned on at all by shooting nude or scantily clad young women.

Actually, I am having an orgasm with every bite into my selfmade pita pizza right now.

It's by far the best pizza I had in a long time!!!

Found this awsome pita bread by Kontos http://www.flatbread.com/ in a local store after trying different brands.

Spreading regular marinara sauce with a soupspoon around until the flatbread is covered except for a small portion of the rim.

Adding fresh basil leaves, torn and covering the pizza, followed by a layer of fresh cut button mushrooms.

Then, slicing a fresh mozzarella ball in thin slices and covering it.

Toaster oven (turbo setting... or whatever you have) for about 6 min to 6:30 minutes.

That is soo friggin' awsome... I may just go for my third mini pie... it's that good! smile

Too Funny!  Though commenting on the OP, shooting to get the perfect image does turn me on.  It may not be the physical attraction of the model, but the notion that the session may turn out a good result.

As a photographer: no...shoots are so physically strenuous - it's like a work-out with a personal trainer from hell.

And most of my models are within the 17-20 range...and being 28, that's way TOO GROSS to even think of them in that regard...as they are like a little sister/brother.

Ha, ha, hah,hah! No wonder so many guys only shoot women! (Or so I'm told, guess everyone deserves a thrill, huh?) Now that's funny!

P.S. I think it's woodies (plural) anyway, you are a hot girl, they probly can't help it!?

Yes!, but not when doing fashion/glamour/nude/posed shoots.. when doing photojournalism. 

It's a thrilling turn-on to dodge the bullet, side-step the flames, or dive out of the path of the falling building or speeding truck while clicking the shutter and 'knowing' you've got an image that no one else in the world could capture.

I think the reason models may get turned on is because photogs are good at making a model feel sexy, not that they are particularly attracted to the photog but feeling sexy is a key component in feeling turned on. Also I think there is just a burst of energy given after doing something you love.
I always get especially turned on after being around huge groups of people, because I am an extravert and it gives me a burst of almost manic energy. I also get turned on going to concerts but that's just because playing an instrument is the sexiest thing anyone can do in my opinion.

My thought exactly.  I am wiped out after a shoot and much too busy to be distracted by anything other than the shoot.

For me, it's not always that the photographer made me feel sexy. It's that photo shoots themselves can literally be a turn-on for me. I have that much passion for what I do. lol

I've been trying to find couples to shoot with lately.  I just shot with one couple & they were very into each other, it seemed like they were turned on.  Their passion came across in the images, I think.

Sure you can feel a bit turned on.   But what I hate is a model, and I had only one do it.   She just kept asking me if I was turned on...and after a while, it was just a bother, and not hot at all. 

And Amanda, nice work, and congrats on a great step in your other battles.
