I was asked to pose nude. Needing advice.

[greenearthgirl]

Thank you to everyone in advance for any input you might have. You can either reply here or, if it's easier, PM me.

To start off, I should explain that I come from a creative, bohemian family. My mom and dad are both artistic/academic types and I'm very artsy myself. For the past couple of years, I've done some modeling for a few family friends of ours who are fine art photographers. So that's the background.

Last night after dinner, my mom and dad came up to my room to talk. They had mentioned earlier in the day they had something important they wanted to talk about so I was wondering what this conversation would be about. Well...basically, they want me to pose naked, for an artistic photoshoot they would design and commission.

I was, as you might expect, really taken aback. We're a progressive family, but I haven't been naked in front of anyone since I was tiny. I could barely even speak...they went over details, their "vision" for it, etc. but I was pretty much in a state of shock and just listened. They asked me to think about it and talk to them more about my feelings on it once I have.

So now I'm thinking about it and I feel really conflicted. I think it could be a good experience and I feel positive about my body, and I do think it's a good idea artistically speaking, but the idea of being naked (and naked in front of my family, for that matter) is really overwhelming. Like I said, I haven't been naked in front of ANYONE since I was a baby. I also really don't want to let my mom and dad down.

I know this is a pretty unique situation but if anyone has any input or advice I would really appreciate it. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about me, my family, etc. Either PM me (and we can maybe move to messenger) or we can talk here in the thread.

I say that it is your body and if you feel uncomfortable being naked in front of your parents and others to tell them(politely of course)where they can stick their "vision".

Go with your intuition

My question is why you are posting this in the fetish and sexuality forum. Is there a sexual aspect involved?

 

[greenearthgirl]

I posted it in Personals too...I wasn't quite sure where to put it so I figured I'd try a couple of places.

Okay, so you don't feel a sexual vibe coming off of your parents interest in it? Why you, and not them?

If the idea of being naked in front of others is "overwhelming" for you, you need to tell (not explain) that to your parents. It's one thing to have cool parents. It's a completely different thing to have parents that guilt you into doing anything you don't want to do.

You shouldn't feel like you're "letting them down", instead you (and they) s/b proud that you are mature enough and know yourself well enough to set your own boundaries.

If you're looking to get over your shyness about being naked in public, I suggest you try modeling (anonymously and w/o telling your parents!) for an art class at a community college or adult education class in a town 20-30 miles from where you live. I did this a few years ago and found the experience to be very freeing.

It's up to you. If you're uncomfortable with it for any reason, don't do it. All you need to say is that you've thought about it and you've decided you'll pass on the opportunity, or that you aren't interested.

Well, that IS progressive. To me it is just too weird to be asked to pose naked by your parents. Who is going to see this "artwork"? I vote no. I also find it wierd that you found Literotica just to ask this question.

You could post some such pictures here so we can better guide you ;-)
