My second wife loves to see me in the buff. I'm not sure why as I know I'm nothing special in the looks department. However, since I love being naked, I favor her by contributing a picture every morning into her in box.
For our first Christmas together, I gave her a calendar of implied nudes of myself, in other words, pictures with my genitals hidden. The next year it was the full Monty, and she enjoyed it thoroughly. The third year I tried to recreate or re-imagine some great art works. Last year, it was a series of outdoor photos as I was clearing brush on our little farm for a new fence line, and I took advantage of working in the woods to take a series of photos for my calendar.
I expect that many wonder what my motivation is. First and foremost, I like to make my wife happy, from giving her a smile with an image of my naked body to lying beside her with my fingers caressing her body. I love her smile when she is pleased, and it gives me so much pleasure to hear her moans of ecstasy.
Second, I have a creative streak and photography is one of my primary outlets. I've always wanted to photograph the human body, and while I have never found a volunteer who would bare themselves for the camera, it doesn't change the desire. My solution was to use the timer and a remote trigger for the camera to capture my own nude images. I find that the model is often difficult to work with, but my choices are limited.
Third, the feeling of being nude is simply great. It is freeing to shed my clothes and let the air circulate around my body. Outside, the breeze caressing my bare skin is a wondrous feeling. When I am taking photos of myself, the thought that other eyes will see what I capture gives an added level of excitement.
The thought that someone besides my wife might see my calendar actually doesn't bother me, I may not be anything special, but I am not ashamed of myself, clothed or naked. The idea of someone seeing my cock doesn't embarrass me, but I would rather not offend those who think nudity is inappropriate, lewd, or even pornographic.
I try to work on a calendar during the year prior so that it isn't a spur of the moment project. I had been thinking of what the theme or focus of next year's calendar should be. The thought that a series of photos that women find sexy would be different and challenging. I realize what men and women find is sexy can be very different and the poses that make a woman look sexy don't always work for a man.
One June evening our friends George and Linda were over for dinner and to enjoy a bonfire. We were toasting marshmallows and making s'mores as the sun went down. The sky was blazing orange and red as the sun set while we laughed and burned our lips on hot marshmallows.
My wife made the comment that the sky would make a perfect background for "one of my" photos.
"What kind of photo are we talking about," asked Linda? "I'm getting the feeling it isn't just a sunset shot."
"He gives me special photos," replied my embarrassed wife.
"She means I take nude photos of myself for her," I explained.
