Hahaha, I tried convincing my husband to do it, but he was worried about the same thing. It's not really a sexual thing, but I understand if just like the whole "Please don't get a boner please don't get a boner" aspect just unconsciously makes you have a boner. Oops!

$15 an hour, I sit for 2h45m each class period, in a variety of different poses.

I had always been interested in figure drawing modeling (an old roommate of mine did so for her mother & a few other artists), and I'm a student in the art history department, so it's important for me to associate with professors & be more involved. I found it to be actually really no big deal at all & has improved my confidence (I'm pretty but I have some body issues, and seeing the drawings is both interesting & a confidence booster sometimes!)

As far as improving life with my husband, it's the same. The only thing that's changed is he wants to buy a painting/sketch of me :]

I actually think there is a sketch of me on the wall in the art department from one class, so I will try to take a picture when I go to class in a few hours!

It is AWESOME.

I'm not OP, but Tewa. You RARELY find people arguing that buying/wearing actually native crafts are a problem. It's when people buy the hipster dreamcatchers and "mocs" from some white girl's etsy store that has no connection with anything even remotely native that's the issue. that's the cultural appropriation. Supporting NAs and NA crafts is not appropriation. (Unless you buy it and claim it's yours/claim you have some cultural connection with it when you don't, etc)

EDIT: Also if they're not native and stating/implying that their non-native crafts are the real thing, that's also illegal under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. Just FYI.
