Lioness I may someday. :)
I would most likely only do it for a friend though.

I've taken a lot of classes that used nude models and I wouldn't be able to be an artist's model. It requires sitting perfectly still way longer than I could do. Plus the art studios are often very cold. It is a job, though, that truly has no age or body discrimination barriers. The more wrinkles and character to a model, the better for learning and practice purposes.

I have, actually! When I was working a really low paying job, I started making extra money in the evening modeling for a drawing group. It's actually a lot harder than I expected. Sometimes you have to hold difficult poses for a long time. Sometimes people would give me one of their sketches though, and some were really beautiful and unique. It's a lot of fun.
OH! I have a hilarious story. After that, I started doing nude art photography, and one of the photographers I worked with hired me and another model to work with him for a class he was teaching on photographing nudes outdoors. It was mainly about working with light and outdoor conditions, so it was a lot of posing and waiting while the instructor showed them how to use light reflectors, etc.
At first we went out to a rural area out of town where lots of hippies have farms. One nice little hippy couple allowed us to use their farm. on the way back, we noticed an abandoned train yard and everyone thought it would be really fun to get some shots there.
It's probably a hundred feet or more from the road, so we thought we'd probably be OK if we were quick.
So I'm in this train car, at this little lookout area on top that's all window. The photographers are below taking photos of me. I turn around and notice, outside the window, 2 cop cars pulling up.
The police jump out and start FREAKING out. The instructor makes a break for it, and then everyone scatters. I'm still in the train car nude, having left my backpack outside the car.
Right before the last guy makes a break I beg him to try to bring me my bag. He looks at me, then takes off.
So I'm hiding in the train car, and I can hear the cops beating up the instructor and screaming, calling him a "f-ing scumbag", etc. I'm terrified. Then, my backpack comes sailing in through the open window. I grab some panties and a bathrobe and decide to face the music.
So I race out the door, and before I can get down the steps the cops are surrounding me. I'm certain I'm going to get my *** kicked, but then the cop grabs my wrists and yells "Are you OK? Are you ok! It's gonna be fine! We're here to bring you home!."
Turns out they thought it was this illegal teenage prostitution ring that the police had been on the lookout for. Once they checked our IDs and realized it was a photography class, they let us go. But not before letting us know that "damn hippies" made them sick. LOL. It's one of my favorite stories.

I've posed for myself several times, but I've never worked up the courage to pose for a class, or artist.
I've had a photographer ask, as well as a few artist friends, and while I have modeled for them, I never took my clothes off.

Yes. This may sound odd, but I always wanted to find someone who would draw me nude. I'm RELLAY into the ancient sculpture and really find the human body to be amazing!!! If given the opportunity, hell yea!

Yes. As long as it was "anonymous". I think it would be very erotic- like a little secret that only you know.... And, a way to pay honor to your body.
In fact, in the scrapbook that my husband and I share, there is a drawing that he did of my nude as I was sleeping. That is obviously not public, but, I would definitely do it for public view.
The thought is quite sexy, really.

No, I wouldn't post nude for any reason. I'm very private and would not want that kind of exposure.

I have before. We painted each other and some sheets and pinned them to the bathroom wall. The pictures where really cool.

I would consider it under the right conditions, but I doubt I would be considered. I think it could be an interesting experience.

Sure. I'd even consider posing nude for Playboy

Art that many strangers would see? Nah, not for strangers. Friends only? possibly
