Should I pose for a calender?
OK, a few may have heard I'm doing a photo shoot for NorCalBodz, (NCB) Nov 6-8ht. Mostly underwear swimwear and "artistic" shots. It's a modeling agency that specializes in men's physiques.
If you're wondering what "artistic" means.... nude. It's affiliated with an modeling agency that is building a portfolio with NCB of me. They think I'm marketable... OK everyone. Stop laughing ..... It's not a joke, it's true. I'll at least 17 years older then the next model they have and 30 years older then the average model they represent.
Anyway the NCB does a calendar and all the shots are "tasteful" in the sense that there is no dick shots, sorta. Some butt shots.
So, my wife says "NO WAY"! I say "WHY NOT?" They're not provocative shots. No man on man. Just some manly sexy shots. No real money, it's more for promoting yourself. Soooo... Whata do ya think?

Pretty soon you'll have a website up with a members only section, live webcam action, PFG.....and rolling in the dough. Once the old lady sees you makin' bones off your "artful" side, she'll shut up....

NBC reps about 11 fitness mags too. They had a bachelor on "Bachelorette" show and the BBer on ""Big brother" reps him too. In fact he reps all the reality show. Just landed a gig for one of the guys on "The Foursome" on Playboy channel.
I don't want the money, yet I am a self admitted attention whore!

It depends on what your primary job is and if it will have a negative impact on it at all.

^^ Primary consideration. After that, will your face be seen? Does that matter? Iif its 'artsy" can it be w/o your face? (e.g. back shots, head faced away, down , etc.) Originally Posted by Tatyana

Ed,I would have to say no,this is evidently a conflict with your wife. If she were for it you would'nt be using a forum for a consensus would you?

I think it'd be great! But that's assuming the calendar and the people you're dealing with are reliable and trustworthy and don't take advantage of you. Your wife and career are definite factors. I've gotta say if the wife is really against it, don't do it. The rest of us don't count
