I was wondering waht could be the reason that we see more allowed in images as it concerns female models, while some male nudity seems to be more a taboo.
We see some female models 'spread all wide', while a male model with an erection is not allowed. Why the difference? And what do you think should be allowed and what should be not, both with male and female models. Mar 09 26 06:16 am Link society is geared towards the likes and phobia of the male mind.
pretty girls good, anything else bad! Mar 09 26 08:09 am Link Taboos depend on the location mostly. In some cultures women are forced to completely hide themselves from head to toe while men do what they like. I am sure if you find the right location you will be able to exhibit anything at all.

Mar 10 26 10:46 pm Link I mostly stopped shooting male nudes, because of how fixated male models seemed to be on their own genitalia. I pose people in ways that do not expose that area or use shadows to partially conceal private bits. I posted a casting once, about 5 years ago, seeking men for figure studies. I made no mention of my own gender or anything personal like that, and specified the project was for fine arts and figure such as what could be displayed in a gallery setting. I had a gallery interested in featuring some of my nude work, and I wanted to represent more men -- for equitable gender representation and all that, because it is important. Instead of getting suitable and interested models I got a lot of people telling me their penis length and asking if they were large enough to pose nude. I got random cell phone pictures of disembodied genitals as well. It was the dumbest thing I ever wasted time on, because one's penis has no bearing on their ability to pose for art nudes, and it is barely (if at all) visible in the work I'd be shooting. I never thought about "suitable penises," because not only are all penises suitable and fine, but that sort of thing was completely irrelevant. Yet, people with penises seem to be bizarrely obsessed with them, and it makes casting for male nude projects more trouble than it is worth. The gallery went out of business due to Covid struggles anyway, and I abandoned that project for years.

Mar 11 26 12:01 pm Link As many women have pointed out here there is no real way to tell is a woman is sexually aroused as she is being photographed. That is not true with men. An erection happens only when there is some sexual stimulation real or imaginary. Once overt sexual arousal happens the tone of the image changes. A woman can be wildly excited and the photographer won't know it. Not so with a male. So if one is not wanting to shoot sexually charged nudes, he/she does not want an erection on the model. Ergo; woman are a safer bet since nothing screams - arousal! To be sure men can get erections without having any interest in the photographer - they sometimes just pop up. They also go away. A woman speading her legs does not mean she is aroused or interested in anything, she just wants the viewer to become so.
I suspect Mayhem's anti-erection rule is its attempt to avoid being considered a soft-porn shop. Maybe it's a legal issue, maybe the owners don't like erect penises. Who knows, but that is the rule. Mar 11 26 07:16 pm Link @Weldphoto: Clear!
I can understand the arousal matter. When I pose for pictures the standard is: no erection. Only if the photographer wants to have some pics with an erection in it, it is possible, when it feels good and save, that is clear that I am not seducing the photographer in any way. I can be comfortablke posing with an erection, as long as there's no sexual intention while shooting. Sometimes people assumed there was sex after the shooting, but that has never been the case and never will be. But of course I do understand some people think that way. Too bad, I think. So I understand (and respect) the rule, but I think art should be free and there's nothing wrong with an image in which an erect penis can be seen, I think. Mar 12 26 12:01 am Link PS

One of the most under-reported parts of the experience of women online is the fact that they regularly receive unwanted photos of men's penises. In 2016 it was so common that it merited little discussion. Today sending messages to women containing 'dick picks' regardless of how artistic some people may view them, could result in a legal charge of Sexual Harassment, So post your exposed woody pics in your model portfolio as per the rules of MM, but I would caution photographers to think carefully before they send a message to a female recipient containing pictures or links to pictures of a male person exposing their junk, I suspect an image of an erect penis is a bridge too far. Model Mayhem is an international site and as such their rules must best reflect the decency v obsenity rules and laws of the many States and Countries they service around the world. Rules and laws which can differ between State to Sate and National laws and the high level of modesty required and expected of models in their respective countries.

I’m getting tired of seeing Silicone tits, Dick-pics and tattoos. For the tattoos there is an excuse as some wearers are promoting their preferred art. Silicone tits are also promotion but, they should get redone after significant capsular contracture occurs, as the result is pathetic. Dick pics are the foremost plot of homosexuals or men promoting sex, as their crotch is the main focus of their images. The same is happening on Model Society. Please stick to Art, Glamour and else; keep the sexual organs out of your portfolio OR Move On; there are millions of Porno SItes available to you. Mar 13 26 09:00 am Link Weldphoto wrote: False. A penis becomes erect from nonsexual stimulation and nonsexual reasons as well. It's not exclusive to sexual arousal. Mar 13 26 09:53 pm Link Unveiled Boudoir wrote: Agree. I got an erect penis laying in the sun on the beach, where someone made some pics of me, as natural as can be and the penis wasn't the subject at all. And no sexual stimulation, just me feeling free and enjoying the shining of the sun.

Model Posts: 6749 MacMurdo - permanent station of the US, Sector claimed by New Zealand, Antarctica I could talk about why historically men were depicted with flaccid penises... because it was considered more masculine to show self-control... but maybe it really just comes down to stabby vs squishy.
