Sometimes I think the reason I have spent twenty plus years as a martial artist is just so I can make talented jerks pee their pants. I was beat up a lot as a kid by guys like that...revenge is sweet indeed.

haha...the jerks do seem to get the hot girls. As a nice guy...if pisses me off.

Well Kevin I have to say that posing nude is something I had been wanting to do for a long time, and believe me, it's a pretty amazing experience, which I have drawn strength and confidence from in many totally unrelated situations.

Kevin you're so funny!

I'd feel horrible about the stress and trauma I'd cause to the photographer if I were to pose in the buff.

Lol ... It certainly can be a little more challenging for guys ;-)

I would normally make the joke of having had 5 kids and not looking in the mirror naked, but I can't really. Years in the gym and plenty miles on the street (running, not hooking!) size UK 8/10, flat belly and everything pointing in the right direction. still, I wouldn't like to get my kit off in front of a stranger. Not because I think it's wrong, I think it's beautiful. It's a matter of self image. So I applaud any who have the sense to not be crippled by it.

The fear was crippling, no doubt. But then you go past that, and you actually feel not powerless, as in the beginning, but totally empowered. At first the guy's big lens seems predatory, but pretty soon he's shielding himself from your inner presence with it. It's hard to describe (and I wish I could claim a flat belly but I'd be lying, lol).

I was talking to a lap/table dancer at a party and she said that she never done live sex on the stage and sort of looked down on the girls that did.
it's the old human moral issue.
you will always be judged by the morals of others rather than your own, each to his/her own is my take on it.
"do not judge people by your morals unless you are willing to accept being judged by theirs."

My belly is flat. Gets that way every time I lay on the floor. Try it, it works!
