How do men feel about their girlfriend doing nude photography (semi-professionally)?

It would bother me a bit. It is like dating a woman who was nude in a nude beach

In my match.com profile, I say I dance.......but then I confided to my girlfriends about being on there and how might a prospective react when they find out what kind of dance I do......belly dancing. They told me to go for it, that if the prospective can accept that I do that, I'm on my way to decent ground (or, perhaps they said if they can't accept that, it's good to know and be able to stop that one real quick).

Being in and out of the dance world, I know the work of David Hamilton very well.

Three things.

One of my girlfriends, another belly dancer, commented how a lot of her guy friends don't come to shows because they are uncomfortable with the display of sexuality in the dance, can't accept that sexuality is just part of the dance. I guess it's a guy thing.

Being a festival player and having lots of carny friends, one learns that it is a way of life and perhaps a means of work but for all that is displayed, there is a lot of just plain hard effort behind it. One of the things that I take to heart about that world is what Cassandra Peterson once said, " I was your typical struggling actress. I went to every audition, took a million acting, dancing and singing lessons, and spent years wondering where my next meal was coming from."

Finally, there comes a point like what Claudia Christian said in her role in "The Hidden", "Oh, come off it, the show's over!".

Long story short, if they can accept that one is work and another is you, GRAB THEM, for such is a maturity not often found.
