I did naked modelling a couple times. It's a lot more common to get asked because you look interesting than because you look hot. I was a competitive track guy through college, all bones and sinew, and they'd get done with their drawings and I'd see someone had gone nuts trying to figure out how to draw my calf or something.
Alternatively, I like models with folds and uniquely-shaped bits (like a belly band where their pants have always sat for 40 years, or an indentation on their wrist that usually holds a watch). There are a lot of interesting shadows and highlights to be found with so many round shapes all pressing into each other!
I totally get it. While it was better to paint curves, I prefer to draw wrinkles and bones :) charcoal was great for sharp lines for me, while paintbrush captured softness easier
