an odd dilema

[cmky]

First, a rant(ish) intro.
Subforums. I know they're necessary, but my OCD constantly inflicts choice paralysis on me. See, this thread could easily go under the general forum, but that place scares me. Part of this topic is ideal for story ideas, but some of it is just a request that falls under the 'sexuality' portion of this subforum. All of this conspires to make me chew the polish off my nails.

Anyway. On to the main event.

Lesee...how to introduce this.
Okay, I work as a cocktail waitress at one of the swankier lounges in town. I've gotten a lot of strange requests, and met a lot of very interesting people. For about a year or so I've known this guy who comes to the lounge on a regular basis. He's really nice, absolutely loaded, and a very generous tipper. More to the point, he's also...um...unusual. Not in a creepy way, just, well, lemme explain.

He often hosts these really awesome social events (not parties, per se), and he pays me and a few of the other girls a solid chunk of cash to basically stand around and look pretty. He buys us new dresses, or swimsuits if we're gonna be out by the pool.

He's never tried anything, or made us feel uncomfortable. I think he just likes to impress his friends.

Two nights ago, he came in to the lounge and approached me and two other girls with an unusual offer. He is hosting an art exhibition, or something like that, at his house. It's going to run for three nights, Friday through Sunday. Instead of standing around, trying to look pretty, this time he has set up three or four chaise lounges around the gallery, upon which we are supposed to lie...naked.

According to him, we are going to be part of the exhibit, something about complimenting the artwork with are natural grace or something like that. I asked if there was going to be something separating us from the guests, so we wouldn't get felt up, and he said no, but he was adamant that we would not be touched. He also said photography would not be allowed, though there isn't really a way to guarantee that.

So, we lie there in whatever pose we want for three hours. We get one break per hour, but the rest of the time, we're on display. For this, we get a substantial amount of money, but I have to admit that's not what has me interested. The idea of being on 'display' is very intriguing.

I guess the point of all this is to ask if anyone as experience with this sort of thing. I've never heard of it, and couldn't find much on google, either.

Also, this has the potential to make a great little literotica story...it's in there, somewhere, I just haven't figured it out yet.

So if you guys will give me your thoughts, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks!

 

[creamofthecrawp]

well of course a man (me) is going to be the first one to comment lol.

I say go ahead and do it! not only just for the money but to get a new experience under your belt it could even be something you would really enjoy.

just give it a whirl and if you don't like it, nothing makes you do it again

i'd ask if you can have a guard of some sort though

 

[cmky]

Thanks...uh...crawp? How do I shorten your name, exactly?

Yea, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do it. Definitely not the sort of thing I'd do on a whim, but I've known the guy for awhile, and I'll be in a room full of people, so it's not like I'm gonna get raped or anything.

I just wanted to know if this sort of thing...nude exhibitions, are common or not. I've never heard of them meself

 

[creamofthecrawp]

i've heard of them once in awhile

usually for the artistic reasons, or y'know the creepy mafia guy parties

porn stuff

y'know anything that a nude woman can be used for lol

and you can call me Cream or Crawp i'll respond to either

 

[Debbie920]

it seems it's not sex that's his wish but more of your body as an art form and before that you was wanted to stand and look pretty so to make the event look
Cooler to the quests. In the uk they call these sorts of people (I mean you not him as ) escort girl someone you can hire/rent for a date. Business men and women who are to busy to have a relationship sometimes book through an agency a companion for the night for business events or social events so as not to go alone.

He's hiring you for a business requirement and not a sexual require but your body /looks is what's important for it to work so his quests are happy.

Lay down get paid but no sex sounds perfect!!!

live nude art

it's not hard to find examples. I googled "live nude art"

[LordofBlackbirds]

This is very interesting indeed. As an artist myself, I can understand and appreciate the request he's asking of you. I'm not sure what kind of art he's displaying in his home, but if he's having live nude women, I might think that's what he's showing; sculptures or paintings of the nude figure. In my opinion there's nothing better to put along side such artwork than the real thing. I don't think you have a reason to be worried about anyone touching you. I've been to plenty of art shows and the people that usually go to them are kind of snooty, but they respect the art none the less. I think you're safe.

And you're absolutely right, I think this would make a good story. You should take this experience and create something with it. I hope it all goes well if you decide to do it.

 

[subwannabe]

I like art. What's the address? Seriously though, I had a couple of thoughts. You didn't mention whether the other two girls were going to say yes or not. It sounds like a hot experience that will probably be safe but I would wonder about the aspect of maybe someone coming who would recognize you and if you would be ok with that. You may also worry about the possibility that at some point you might start wondering if you have checked your morals at the door and turned into something of a prostitute. This is all just food for thought because, bottom line, I say yes, have fun, and report back (maybe with a story).

 

[Stella_Omega]

Recently, there was a gala at an art museum that was going to include live nudes. The attempt fell apart because the organizer was paying a pittance to her models and the party was going to cater to millionaires-- and she had no ideas as to how to gurantee the models' safety.

Personally, I love your friend's idea. but again, I don't know how I would keep the models safe. A velvet rope barrier around each lounge? That could look very classy and add another dimension of meaning to the assemblage haha

 

[cmky]

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

I spoke with him more today. There will be security at the event, they will be standing in the rooms where we will be modeling, but not right next to us, so they don't interfere with the mood or tone or whatever.

For the most part, these are the artsy-snooty types that he's hosted before. He's big on that, and now that I think of it, pretty big on art involving nude women
But, the important thing is that it's not an open exhibition.

He was originally going to do it three nights, with a theme for each night, but now it's down to just two; something with the artists, I dunno. At certain times, the models will be together, in various non-sexual poses. At other times, we will be apart. Apparently we are supposed to mirror the artwork he has on display. It sounds pretty cool, actually.

I'm not worried about someone I know seeing me naked. I modeled for an art class a couple of times a couple of semesters ago, and it was quite liberating. What does worry me a little is pics of me getting on the internet. He said no photography will be allowed, and as long as it's tastefully done I don't mind too much, but I'm big on protecting my anonymity.

The two girls I know are going to do it. Both of them are gorgeous...so I'm feeling a little inadequate, but we'll see!

 

[cmky]

I thought I'd give you guys a quick update.
Last night was the first night of the event. He (we'll call him Frank), had us meet at a salon where we all got massages and had our hair and makeup done.
After that, we went to his house and went over what we would be doing for the night, the different poses and whatnot, what to do if someone got frisky, and so forth. As soon as we got there, he had us change out of our clothes and into robes and slippers, because he didn't want there to be any bra-lines or anything on our skin. While we were going over things, we all had wine, which was a big mistake, because halfway through the first hour I had to pee like crazy.
We got to meet the artists, two of which were a husband and wife team that make sculptures...it was really cool.

After that...the main event.
Things got going at seven. For the first hour, I was by myself in the gallery with the sculptures. Since none of us girls were professional models and all of us were a little nervous about being on display, Frank gave us something to 'do' while we were modeling. I was to lie on the Chaise and look over a magazine, occasionally shifting positions as I wanted to be comfortable. Basically, try to be sexy and casual at the same time.
First, the cons:
It was FREEZING. Okay, not really, but it was cold outside and the temperature was set to be comfortable for the guests, who were completely clothed. It's hard to feel sexy when you're covered in goose bumps, and my nipples were hard for so long they actually started to hurt, but I muscled through it until Frank got a small space heater and set it next to me.
Other than that, I have to admit that it was thrilling, arousing, even, especially the first hour.
There is something about the contrast of being completely nude while everyone around you is in formal wear. Men in tuxs and ladies in evening gowns are staring at your body. It was hot. Plus, Frank was insistent that we not make eye contact or interact with the guests in any way, something about preserving the integrity of the art. So people would walk in, usually couples, and make little comments about me or the sculptures. I remember one of the men leaned over and whispered to the woman he was with, 'Oh, this one has perfect, pear-shaped breasts', or something like that. I thought he was talking about the statue, but I peeked up and realized he was talking about ME. Needless to say, I blushed. They chuckled and walked off. There was something about the detachment of it, it's hard to explain how I felt, but I liked it.
By hour two, I was pretty aroused, and it was getting harder to hide. It wasn't bad when I was by myself, but then Frank put me with another girl, and half the time I was sitting up and cradling her head in my lap, and I know she could smell it. Plus, I kept getting wet, and that was awkward.
Also, her body was warm, and she was gorgeous. After the first half hour, we switched places. Not only could I smell the same thing on her, but she spent the time running her fingers through my hair, which was sooo relaxing.
The final hour I was again by myself, but this time I was lying on my stomach, not on my back, again making it hard to be discreet.

All in all, it was a pretty fun time, besides being a little awkward.
We just finished getting our massages, and now we're heading to Franks for the final night of the event. I'm pretty excited about it, though still nervous. I got pretty worked up last night...and...well..nothing has happened since then to change that soo...we'll see!

 

[Boundlife]

That sounds like fun...

Now we know...no alcohol or caffeine before posing nude infront of people in formal wear

Update: Day 2

I'm going to start this off on a gross note, though I'm sure some of the pervs on this forum will find this arousing:
You never realize how difficult it is to go for three hours without passing gas until you're naked in a quiet room

During our pre-event meeting, Frank told us that he wanted to 'ramp things up a notch.' I wasn't sure what he meant, until he started to describe some of the poses we would be in.
For the first hour, I was with this girl I work with at the lounge. She's Chinese-American, tall, straight black hair, absolutely stunning. He wanted us to 'exchange embraces of tenderness'. Easy enough, right?
We were on a small, padded leather bench. First, we next to each other, facing in opposite directions, and simply hugged. After a few minutes, we switched positions, she straddled me and sat on my lap, so that we were facing each other. Oh my, that was hot. In my mind, from that point on no one else was in the room. I almost started kissing her neck without thinking about it...that's how intimate it was. We took turns laying our heads on each other's chests, and running our fingernails down our backs, stuff like that to make it a little more intimate.
We struck several more poses, and the hour flew by. At the end of it, I was very hot and bothered.

The second hour wasn't as erotic, but still very entertaining. I was put on a small platform and told to strike several poses while looking angry and aloof. But on the plus side, it was the only time in the entire exhibition I was able to interact with the guests. Instead of avoiding eye-contact, I was told to be engaging. It was supposed to represent how unreachable women can be, or whatever. For example, when a man would walk up alone, I'd sneer at him and turn my back. If he walked up with a woman, I'd engage with her but ignore him. I got several laughs from the guests, which was fun.

Then came the third hour. Oh boy.
Of the four girls, he wanted two of us to volunteer for the 'close-up' room. At first I wasn't going too, after all this, I was still a bit shy, but when the other girls declined, I decided to step up. The close-up room was dedicated to this photographer whose art was basically close-ups of the female anatomy. I looked over his work before the exhibition started, and I have to say, I've never seen a vulva before then and thought, 'wow, it's actually kinda pretty when you look at it like that.'
It wasn't just the naughty bits, though, he presented a head to toe tour of the female frame. No real estate was left in the shadows, even the parts that probably should. The photographer claimed that the models themselves were not edited in any way (not photochopped), just some of the background imagery, which was impressive, because they looked perfect. I felt intimidated just looking at his work.

Anyway, the idea was that we girls lie there and provide a real-life compliment to the artwork. In other words, his guests would walk in, examine, say, a blown-up picture of a nipple, and then step over and examine mine. They could get as close as they wanted, so long as they didn't touch me. Every few minutes I'd move, subjecting a different area of my body to the microscope. The chaise was elevated so the guest did not have to bend over so far to look at me.

I'm trying to find the words to describe how it feels to have a stranger lean in so close to stare at your breasts, especially when your nipples are hard, but needless to say, it was exhilarating and intensely erotic. Not surprisingly, my breasts were the most popular (not to say they're anything special, but they are breasts after all, and who doesn't like to look at boobs?). One man commented to his wife (I think), about how he liked the way you could see my veins underneath my skin, that he liked the pear-shape of them, and something about my nipples that I was too nervous too remember.I swear, at that moment they both could have reached down and cupped them and I would not have cared. Some other spots got attention, too. My stomach (good thing I do 200 crunches a day), legs, face, oh, and an Asian man spent about ten minutes staring at my feet...like just as close as he could get without bumping his nose against them. That was kinda weird, but made me glad I've always taken good care of them.

Once I was calmed down a bit and was feeling a little frisky, I rolled over and came up on all fours, letting my hair fall down over my face and arching my back. I held the pose for a few minutes, until I started to get tired. Just before I moved, I felt someone gently and quietly blow air across my exposed butthole and vag. I couldn't see them of course, and I almost said something...they must have been very close to do that, but it was such a turn-on I didn't.

After that I moved again, this time lying flat on my back with my legs splayed and my feet touching. I stared at the ceiling, but I could feel people leaning in to look at me, at my vagina. I was very wet and very aroused, and I know it showed. At this point, I WANTED them to look. No one said anything, unlike before. The room got kind of quiet. A few minutes later, and the event was over.

I have to say, this was the single most erotic experience of my life. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'm not the type of person that has anonymous sex with total strangers, but at that moment, anyone of those people could have done whatever they wanted to me. So it was a good thing that my roomie/gf showed up later that night! We were supposed to go out dancing after, but needless to say we took over one of Frank's bedrooms and spent the rest of the night to ourselves


All-in-all, it was a great time. There were some things about it I really enjoyed. The people Frank invited were all older than me, and like I said before, dressed in tuxs and gowns. If it had been an audience of my peers, I don't think I could have done it. It was awkward enough the time I posed nude in art class. The setting was controled and small. I couldn't just pose nude in front of a huge group of people, and I'm not comfortable being photographed...I don't want to end up on the internet in a way I can't control. The guests respected his rule on cellphones. I never even saw one out, not to mention pointed in my direction...
Frank was extremely nice and professional. He went out of his way to accomidate us girls. Not only were we paid very well (I made in two nights enough mony to cover my books for this semester and more), but we got spa treatments both days, and I'm sure Wednesday he'll walk into the lounge with some kind of gift for us.
I also got to meet all the artists. A few of them want to work with me in the future; the husband & wife team, a painter, and the photographer...though I probably won't work with him.

At least two of the girls want to do something like this again, and my roomie does as well. I think all we have to do is present an idea to Frank, and he'll finance the whole thing. If I can find a way to turn this into a profitable yet tasteful enterprise, that would be awesome. So, I'm taking suggestions, if anyone has one.

 

[gregarious67]

Brilliant. Well written. Thanks for sharing this.

 

[bijennifer]

Phew! Sounds like quite an experience.

 

[cmky]

Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone.
I'm going to post a recap over on the story discussion forum. I'd like to fictionalize this, and add some detail and whatnot. If you have any ideas, please shoot me an IM or post it here.

Also, Frankie is going to take the four of us out to dinner tomorrow. I'm going to talk to him about doing it again, or something similar, in the future. I want to play a hand in developing this more.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Wow, I am SO glad you did this and so pleased for you that it turned out so well!

You've reminded me of a friend of mine who had a kink for being the only clothed person when everyone else was naked-- which kept him out of the communal hot tubs sometimes-- or being the only naked person when everyone else was clothed-- which earned him and his band a certain noteriety

 

[BradBigBrain]

Sounds like you had a great time and your dilemma was ultimately solved! It would be a great truly erotic story, if you were so inclined to write it up. I'm glad to hear that it was exactly what was presented to you and nothing untoward happened.

 

[cmky]

BBB...me too. I was a little nervous at first, but he was nothing but cool the whole time.

Which brings me to the subject of my next update...

Last night Frankie took the four girls who modeled for him out to dinner. I'm not much of a meat eater, but it's hard to pass up a good steak every now and then! After, we went back to his place for drinks and whatnot, which was good, because I had an agenda.
I asked him if he'd be interested in hosting something like that again, and he said he would.
I then pressed him a little bit, and he told me that if I wanted to start organizing another art exhibition, he would back me (financially) and put me in contact with the artists from the last event and some others he considered inviting. This was exactly what I was hoping for!
After a few martinis, he told us that he like the art and everything, but that was really just an excuse to liberate us, a statement that really spoke to me.
I'm not the kind of girl who will go to a strip club on amateur night, even though it might be fun, or do something crazy over a webcam, but put a veneer of art over it, and I'm game. Maybe I just need an excuse, but I like it.
His only stipulation was that, unlike the last time, when all the modeling sessions were 'static', he wants at least some of them to be 'dynamic'. Naturally, he was too much of a gentleman to say exactly what he meant, but it was pretty obvious: sex of some sort, whether solo or with a partner, which is okay, as long as he doesn't throw the 'interactive' descriptor out there
I'll need to come up with some ideas and present them to him, so that I can
get a better idea of what he wants.
So, I need to learn how to merge an art show with a classy sex show. I'm researching it on google now...oh my that is a scary search phrase. This is going to be a black tie event, like the last one, which is very exciting.
Anyhoo...idea are always appreciated!

 

[cmky]

I just wanted to update the situation while I had some time.

I found out that one of the girls, Kim, lives with and is sleeping with Frankie. This actually kinda set me at ease. I found out he's not a creep or weirdo, isn't possessive or controlling. They aren't exclusive. She has her own bedroom in a separate part of the house and can come and go as she pleases. Talking to her made me feel a whole lot better about working more closely with him. It kinda made him a little more real, ya know? I mean, how can surround yourself with beautiful women (I'm not including myself here) and not want to get with at least some of them, right?

Funny but true story...
Frankie gave me the contact info for all the artists who had their work on display during the last exhibit. I talked to them, and some agreed to a second exhibition. But I wanted some fresh artists so the guests would see something new. Working from referrals and whatnot, I started cold-calling some of the artists in the area. So just imagine the conversation.
Hi, we're doing this exhibition and would like to know if you'd be interested in putting some of your work on display.
What kind of exhibition you say? Well, there will be lots of naked women in attendance...
Yeah, there were some pretty interesting conversations.
The good news is that I got three new artists to sign up, one of which was...wow. On the phone I thought she was a total bitch but when we met in person, just the way she looked at me made me go weak in the knees. The girl's got charisma.

So that's where I'm at so far. We haven't set a date, but I'm shooting for the end of Feb. It will only be one night, but a little longer, I think four hours should work. One of the girls is working with catering, I'm coordinating the artists, and the rest have other jobs. Which means we're getting paid even more than last time.

I'm still taking ideas for the exhibit. I know 'just have sex and let people watch', but we can do better than that. We can make it sexy and stylish.
I was talking to the girls about it, and one of them suggested a 'grope box'. Just the name weirded me out a bit, but I asked anyway, because I'm curious. She said it's just that, a box that a person gets in. You can't see inside, but it has holes cut out in strategic places so people can feel what's inside. No freaking way I'd do it, but I'll present the idea. Has anyone ever done something like this?

 

[Longtallhubby]

I love following these experiences of yours. thanks.

 

[BradBigBrain]

You've got mail.

@longtall:
Thanks! I appreciate the time you took to respond. It motivates me to keep posting.

I just finished meeting with the girls over dinner last night. Paid for, as always, by Frankie.
A few changes have been made since we last met.
First, we’ve settled on the last Saturday in February for the event, pending approval by Frankie, which will depend on the guests. He may move it to early March, depending on them. It’s his call.

In addition to the four girls from last time, two new models have been added, one being my roomie! There will be eight other girls, but they won’t be taking (all) of their clothes off. Of the eight, four are performance artists who live in town. If you recall the hot lesbian with the sexy stare I mentioned earlier, she got me in contact with these lovely ladies. When I say ‘performance artists’, I mean they will perform two shows in a part of the house that is going to have more of lounge atmosphere. They will either be hula-hooping or belly-dancing, which they do professionally. They are very good at it. The other four girls will serve drinks.

The six performers discussed our plans for the night. Each of us presented ideas and talked about them. Once the idea was discussed, we took a vote. There was one tie. Here’s the highlights of what was suggested:
The close-up room. We really need a better name for that, but we are all FAIL in the naming department. Anyway, it was a winner with the guests, both male and female, and so it’s back.
If you’ll recall, it’s a room with one or two chaise lounges in it. The girls take turns on the lounge, assuming various seductive poses. The guests are allowed to get as *close* as they like, as long as they don’t interact with us.
Right now, the idea is that we start the exhibition in two large rooms. One is the lounge, mentioned above, and the other is the gallery. The gallery will be much like the last exhibit, in that various artwork will be on display alongside nude models.

The Table:
There is a small room in Frankie’s house that connects two larger rooms, almost like a square hallway. We’re going to put a table against one wall and take everything else out. So, imagine a small white room, about 8x8 with a table. This is going to be the self-pleasure room. Over the course of the night, every girl gets a turn in the room. Guests can watch, get as close as they like, but can’t touch or interact with the girls in any way. Some girls wanted to take more than one turn in the room, so I think it’s a hit.

The Box:
This one mortifies me, but it was suggested by one of the posters here, so I dutifully reported it.
The idea is pretty simple. Take a coffin-sized box, but a few strategically placed hand-sized holes in it, and put a model in it. Guests can then insert their hands and touch/fondle the models. This was the most contentious of the suggestions, and garnered the longest debate.
First, we didn’t want the box to look like a coffin, so we’d have to not only get someone to build it, but also dress it up. It’d have to be comfortable, we wouldn’t want to get hot and sweaty in there, plus, claustrophobia is an issue with me and another girl. Not to mention that a person could do whatever they wanted to us once we were in there. Kinda scary.
In the end, we decided that if we did the box, it would have to be tall enough for us to roll over, and wide enough to move are legs around a little bit. There would have to be a sign that the model’s faces were off-limits, and one of the girls suggested that we have a live mic in there, so we could signal one of the security staff if someone touched us in a way that we didn’t like.
The first go-round, this was a tie, three for, three against, but after discussing it some more (and more wine), I switched sides and voted it in. One of the models that was against it is terrified of confined spaces, so we told her she didn’t have to do it. The last one has the option to opt out of the box if she gets there and freaks. Now we just have to find someone to build it.

Paint the Model
A little raffle we’re going to do. The winner gets to pick one of the six girls and ‘paint’ her with bodypaint. Then they get their picture taken. Or something like that.

Finally, the Sex Rooms.

Two of the girls are paring up, I’m taking the roomie, and the last two girls are bringing their boyfriends. We each get a room, and we go at it. The guest can watch. We’re supposed to script it and compare notes before the exhibit so we don’t end up doing the same thing. None of us really know what we’re doing here, but it’s very exciting. If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, please lemme know.

Somehow, we’ve got to put all of that together into some sort of order and provide an evening of erotic entertainment. We haven’t discussed how much we are going to charge Frankie for this, or if we are going to charge the guests a fee, or what. That will be another meeting with Frankie. I don’t even want to think about the legalities of this. I’m sure I’m going to end up in prison or something

 

[BradBigBrain]

Be careful with the sex shows and the fondling. Make sure they're not illegal activities where you're going to be putting on the show. Or if those activities are legal on private property.

Other than that....how do I get invited?
