I want to pose nude for one of my three favorite artist Sorayama, Stevens or Lafferty
How to pose nude for an artist
It made me
feel lovely 
"I decided to pose nude after being approached by our local artist's consortium and I was not nervous.....it worked out perfectly....I am 42 and my body looks 32...thank God!"
How I did it: I held my breath and jumped in! I was worried that people would judge my body, but if they judged it, they did it in a positive way. I enjoyed the experience and will continue to model until asked somebody says, "Please stop!!!"
Lessons & tips: Don't worry so much about what others think of you. You are beautiful and forget what others think, unless of course, it's positive.
Resources: A pink robe, lotion, and understanding artists helped me.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I walked into the studio. she asked me to strip and sit down. All I did was one pose and that was it. I am now looking to pose for more photographers and an art class. I went back to her studio one more time and since have posed nude for three other photographers and will be in a published book

I am really rather shy physically and even cover up in front of my husband but I think this is stupid. It is just my body and I should be at ease with it. I think posing nude for an artist would be a really liberating and confidence boosting thing to do. I have talked about it for years so I really should just get on with it!!
For an art class, actually.

It was the day before Valentine’s Day. The background noise was provided by the local NPR station, who did a segment on the rich tradition of circumcision jokes and then played a song titled “In the Mood for Love.” How terribly apt.
so free-ing

i wanted to do this for years. finally got the courage when i was pregnant (just showing a little bump) i was so proud of my body, prouder than i;ve ever been before or since. i felt beautiful!
taking my clothes off and lying on a sheet on a wooden floor in this art class was hard for me because it wasn’t like making love where you don’t care, you’re focussed on your lover. it wasn’t like changing rooms at school where everyone was self conscious except the girls who had developed early and were proudly displaying their breasts. this was different because everyone else was dressed and i was the subject of intense yet impersonal scrutiny. i loved it, although every week i had this apprehension just before i had to strip. the artist leading the class is a well known man in this part of the world and he made me feel totaly comfortable. it was winter and there was always this little gas heater. he gave me breaks so i didn’t get pins and needles too often…
he had this deep, rich voice and always told lots of fascinating stories while the class was painting / skecthing. what i hated was tea break because none of the students would talk to me.
i would do this again, but possibly only if i were pregnant again. otherwise i’m too skinny!
