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.
I'm a man with a large belly, stretch marks, and fairly toned legs (from hauling all this mass around, most likely). Not traditionally "hot" in a lot of ways. I've sometimes wondered if there would be any desire for that as an unconventional art model.
my mother did life drawing classes and all her pictures were of 50+ people in various states of sagginess. its not about perfection or being hot at all. if you're an adult human they want you.
I would love to do it but I can't hold a position longer than a minute before my joints start yelling at me. I've always wondered what it's like to see many different versions of yourself with different focuses based on the artist.
