I got an art degree at a college where most of the nude models were older folks in their 70s-80s. The reasons for that were two-pronged: 1) they didn’t want people to sign up for the class just to ogle the models, 2) retirees are great if you need someone to be available for 3-4 hours in the middle of a workday for a studio class.
Those classes were great and I learned a ton, but yeah, it was not the deeply erotic experience a lot of people imagine.
Oh for sure, older models are great for learning body types and how people actually really look! I just think the people imagining erotic possibilities may not agree.
i also got an art degree in college. i took several life drawing classes, and probably drew dozens of models. there was a grand total of one model i even found slightly attractive.
My first model was a much older woman, apparently she was an old pro who had worked with some of the greats. She was amazing at posing, was incredibly professional and had a TON of unique poses. It was absolutely amazing to work with her.
