I'm thinking....she would have sold that "art book" for a allotta money. To perverts who like small, skinny, young looking children.
Hell, I can't go out now without security. I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue if noodz of my sexy good lookin' self got disseminated!
I have to say that I'm a bit confused by all this talk about paedos and pornography. I have seen pornography, and what she was suggesting was nothing like that - I didn't have to get off with anybody (I would be too embarrassed to do that with somebody else watching). It was all a long time ago, and I half regret not doing it - like she was offering twenty quid a pose - so I just wondered what other people would have done.
You wouldn't have to "get off" with anybody to be in demand from the perverts. Naked children isn't "art". But people who get off when looking at naked children....is a reality and they are a strong market for those wanting the big bucks.
Playboy is pornography. Women pictured naked. You don't have to be fisted by a clown for it to be pornography. NAMBLA folks LOVE your "type". Underage, who look even more underage, frail. Which brings me to my next point. Once you sold your image, how will you feel when you show up on NAMBLA's website? When you become the poster child for pedos everywhere? When you become famous among this weird little circle of perverts preoccupied with people who look like you, for whom you now iconically represent? In reality, it doesn't matter. You don't have any (*)(*)(*)(*)ing say in what is done with your naked form anymore. You sold it. Thus are the hazards of prostituting ones body for money. So as I have not answered the question yet... no.
How much is 20 Quid in today's money and converted to dollars? Why are you half regretting it? What do you think you missed out on? Was she hot?
about $30. for that ridiculous amount of money, it might have end as a snuff film. that is the important question! i'm more trusting if it's a hot chick.
... I would. We've gotten to the point in western culture that the naked body is something to be ashamed of unless it's absolutely perfect. That's simply a reflection of our purity system of values.
You were smart to refuse the offer and all these freaks call it 'art'...... Money is nice, Leo, but there's more important things in life than money and one is staying away from the smutty side of life that this 'art' will slowly pull you into, always enticing you w/more $ if you do this or that....... Porn is a multi-billion $ business and a business you wouldn't want to be a part of......
Thanks for that Hummingbird. I didn't realise it at the time, but I can see what you are saying is true. It may have just been for the art study she described, but I was uncomfortable about the idea then, and I wouldn't even consider it now. It was just that ten poses would have meant two hundred pounds, and that was more money than I ever had at that age, so I was a bit tempted. But as soon as I thought about the possible consequences - my mum seeing a naked me in the pages of a book - I scrapped the idea.
Bingo! Here's good info for you, Leo...... Reminds me of some young women who posed in the nude 'for fun' - didn't think it was any big deal...... Later in life, when they were in a position they had worked for, those pix can pop up and bite them right in the hiney........ Amber Frey, witness on the Scott Peterson case was one of the dummies to pose in the nude.... there she was - star witness for the prosecution and suddenly there were naked pix of her floating around.......
Yeah, but I didn't, and it is always easy to be wise in hindsight. I was a lot younger then, and I thought it must be for an art study - like she said. Because I know guys like looking at pix of hot naked chicks, but who wants to look at pix of skinny young guys? So I didn't even think about porn.
Here in the states taking the photo of a 15 year old or possessing a photo of one will land you in jail. At any rate, I'm gld that you decided not to. What if you were running for high office and that photo surfaced?
Now a nude wedding, that would be different than a nude photo. At a nude wedding you can always tell who the best man is.
If true, it's nothing more than a sign of collective and national backwardness, as far as I'm concerned... That way, almost every single household has "child porn" at home -- burn those baby bathing pictures... The thing is that I believe it's entirely possible... Well let me put it this way... Take the wikipedia article I provided of that German photographer earlier on. It's nudity of teenage boys. It's 100% legal. It's not that I find those pictures exceptionally beautiful. It's not that arouse me in any way. But on the other hand, it's not that I'm repulsed by them either: it's not that I find them ugly and that I need to look the other way. Agreed.
Good job, Leo, you have now aroused many PF members with your teen story. Now go tell them to look you in the eyes!
Yann,... That's a sick joke! BTW -- the only thing I'm saying is that "teen nudity" isn't illegal at all. Which seems to me, is what a lot of people -- especially the Americans (no surprise there) -- are saying. I remember an episode of Embarrassing Teenage Bodies that aired here on Vitaya ( a TV-channel mainly for women ) in which the boy had found a lump in his balls and the doctor learned the guy and the viewers how to check your testicles.
