I don't think it's funny, why do people still laugh at me?

Question

I can't get people to stop laughing about me in my art major. I am a college junior at a big university and last semester I signed up to be a nude model, and well, it was going good at first. But one day i was late to class, and the professor had a female replace me. As I was about to leave, the professor suggests I stay and have the students draw two figures.

Well, standing up there with her I became aroused and had to remain there for an hour with her. Whenever i modeled after that a few select girls from the same class would make gestures at me behind the teachers back to get me excited again. I stopped modeling but now everyone calls me the b**** boy, even people I dont know. It really bothers me.

why do people think its so funny, and continue to bust me about it? Shouldn't they take the class more seriously and see the body as art?

Answer 1

Yes, this is art, and obviously these people are immature and they won't last long in the art world.
You're not the first one who has experienced this and you are not the last.
Think about why you volunteered in the first place. Did you know the 'risks' of volunteering to pose nude?
Another question is, where was the prof in all this?
Anyway, those girls are just mean, and I bet none of them have gotten the guts to go up there themselves. Half of them won't graduate anyway.
Next time you could do a little jig while singing Sk8ter Boi, but replacing it with B0ner Boy!

Answer 2

It's a jealousy thing. They're making a deal out of it because you were late to class and the teacher chose a girl. You're a guy. Do you understand that part? They're laughing because a nude body of a woman turns you on when you are both naked. It's funny to them because it's only an art class in which you were asked to pose nude. If it continues, address the students and professor in class with your clothes on. Tell them how it makes you feel. This should stop it.

Answer 3

Honey, it only bothers you because you let it. I modelled nude for the University here in Wisconsin for 4 years. I figured it would either cure or kill my self esteem. I could walk down the street nude now...but for the right price, I'll have you know. You're a young man (I'm a middle-aged otter) and things are going to make you aroused. You can't stop your gonads from sitting up and noticing young ladies. They should be seeing the body as art but they're young too. I would suggest you talk to your professor after a class. He can help or will speak to the young ladies and have them adjust their seriousness. Good luck.

Answer 4

Ok, first off, it is funny.

Second, don't take it personally. You get naked in front of strangers and you got a woody with a cute girl. It's natural, and frankly if you can get aroused in front of a bunch of clothed strangers, you're probably 10 times more confident in bed than anyone else in the room.

Third, the annoying girls would probably sleep with you in a heartbeat if chatted them up, laughed about it, and asked them to coffee. And I don't necessarily mean individually.

Fourth, MOST people take art as a major precisely because they ARE f*ck-offs. Art majors aren't learning calculus or devising biology experiements - they're in class trying to give you a b0ner. That's what they do. The serious ones are trying to do something artistic, and probably see the whole thing is a very natural and artistic event.

So finally, why get worried about what a couple of idiots say. Laugh with them, try to get them into bed or tell them they have no creativity, and let them lead their pathetic lives.

Answer 5

It IS an amusing story, but yes they're immature and the joke's over now (but what do you expect, they are college students?)

I think all you can do is cheerfully take a joke on yourself, say "Yes I am the B0ner Boy" and offer to show people what all the fuss was about. If a girl teases you, tell her she's only concerned because she didn't have a big enough piece of paper to fit you in the picture.

I'm pretty sure if you weren't bothered by it, they wouldn't tease you.

Anyway, you've learned a valuable lesson about being late for work, and the terrible consequences it can have. Don't do it again!

Answer 6

Be happy you have a nice enough body that people want to see you naked.

You are just going to have to get over this. You had an erection in front of a whole class room full of students. And now you are uptight about it. You are providing one heck of show for them.

Stop letting it bother you.

If you can't be flaccid, then don't model. If you do model and you get erections, you must either stop or just not care about the consequences.

Answer 7

These people who are laughing are the credit seekers, they took the class to get what they thought was going to be an easy credit and get to look at nudes. Don't be embarrassed or humiliated by their childish behavior. Your body responded in a perfectly natural way to another persons body, and they are probably jealous of your ability to maintain your professionalism and continue to the end of the class in what was an uncomfortable situation. They are going to one day regret their behavior

Answer 8

Unfortunatly for you not every one is the same and what you and I may find disturbing or down right RUDE others may find funny.
but that is also the very thing that makes each individual an INDIVIDUAL. Think about how boaring the world would be if every one was the same and held the same principles and Ideals.
so my advice,,,,,, Have fun with it and Laugh back. turn a negative into a possitive and use that to benifit your self and your future in what ever you deside to do with your life.

Answer 9

Well....people are laughing because it's very funny. It is also something that people will never forget, so you have to ignore them. Why would you stand there aroused anyway? You should have excused yourself. This is a lesson learned the hard way; no pun intended. LOL

Answer 10

Well let me just say that I respect you to have the self-confidence to be a nude model.

About the other people in your class. Whenever they make comments like that, just be like "That's me!!" and be proud of being "B0ner Boy". Once they see it dosnt bother you...they'll stop.
