I am 30 years old, and still manage to keep in pretty good shape by swimming, running and weight training. I can still do justice to a pair of Speedos.
Finally, my work schedule has allowed me to get into a routine for working out, and at the gym, I end up running into the same people at certain times. On Wednesday mornings, I get in to the gym early, and swim laps for about one hour with what ends up being the same group of people. They call themselves the breakfast club before I got there, and were initially resistant to "allow" newcomers to share their time. Nevertheless, as this is open time, I just kept quiet, and did my own thing, not really trying to socialize with the "group."
After a few weeks of this, and eventually recognizing many of the same people, and they realized I wasn't going away, a few people began to be more social, and would say hi, and offer the occasional greeting and small talk. There were a few very pretty women in the group, and they were obviously professionals, using the early morning time for working out, before the tough work day began.
After a few more weeks of casual small talk with various regulars, one woman introduced herself to me as Gerri, and we began to become friendly over the next few weeks, and just talk about nothing much for a few minutes each week, both wanting to maximize our time at the pool for exercise.
One of the major benefits of this type of introduction is the fact that at a pool, one can see the physique of the other without too much problem. Gerri was obviously a dedicated swimmer, and had the body of a swimmer, with tight lean muscles, and a shapely figure with broad shoulders, perfect breasts that showed prominent nipples through the wet material, and definitely toned ass and legs.
Definitely excellent attributes. I guessed her to be about 35 or so. One can't help but notice these things, even at 6:00 in the morning. Sort of a guy thing. That part of me doesn't have a problem with early mornings.
Most of the casual conversation was directed towards swimming, techniques, meets, etc. Then after a few more moments of talk, I finally asked what she did, and I was definitely surprised to learn she was a art teacher at the university, and just enjoyed the early mornings to get things going for the day, because if she waited until later, the day's events usually prohibited a regular swim.
I felt the same way, and she gave me a sly look and said her class was always interested in male models for their class, if I was interested. I thought this sounded promising, and asked how much they were offering for the models, and she said $50/hr. All I had to do was sit there, and hold as still as possible. Nothing more. Usually.
I wasn't sure what she meant by the 'usually' but I told her I would think about it, and let her know if a time would work out. She just smiled again and said she thought the class would be quite interested in someone with my physique. I thanked her for the compliment, and we went our ways. She wasn't pushy or anything like that. But there was something in her smile and in her eyes when she smiled that made me more than a little curious as to the class she was teaching. I've never really been hit on, but if I was, this was certainly promising.
Some time later, I had been thinking more and more about the proposition of modeling, and actually, I felt flattered actually. I had never done it before, and I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be clothed, partially clothed, or unclothed. I wasn't sure about the unclothed thing, but we'll see. I ran into Gerri again, and she offered her very sly smile to me again, and asked if I had thought any about her offer to model for her class. They were doing some more male anatomy the next week, and would love to have a new model for their subject.
She said there were about 10-12 people in the class, mostly women, and they were very professional and serious students of art. I would be nude, but that she was sure I would be comfortable and not made to sit in any strange positions for long times, and I would be able to take a break every 15 minutes.
It usually took 2-3 sessions to complete one model, and that way I could be assured of $100-150, for 3 hours of work. Sounded fine to me, I told her and we settled on the time and place.
A week later I arrived at the destination she told me, a room on the second floor of the art building, which looked like the quintessential studio, with easels, chairs, mirrors and tons of other art equipment on the tables and shelves. The room was small, with tall ceilings, and mirrors on the walls. I saw the teacher's desk up front, and a place for the model to sit, a comfortable looking chair next to a stuffed arm chair. Not so bad. So far.
As the students started filing in, they chatted casually, and didn't pay much attention to me. I suppose they were rather used to this. I sure wasn't. I was scanning their faces for someone I knew, or who might know me. But this is a large city and it was quite unlikely. There were about 9 women and 3 men in all.
They all looked so young. I might be almost twice their age. Strange concept. Soon, Gerri introduced me to the class, and they took their places at their respective desks. Gerri pointed me in the direction of the changing area, which consisted of a screen adjacent to the seating area for the models. I felt a combination of nervousness and excitement. Weird feelings as I stripped to the buff behind the screen and proceeded out in front of everyone. I felt all the eyes on me as I sat there, sort of covering myself with my hands, trying to appear casual. Definitely not casual.
Gerri came over to me, and touched my shoulder and guided me to the chair, which was more of a stool with padding. I sat there and she took my hands and let them hang down my sides. She stood in front of me, looking me up and down, now seeing all of me, where before her imagination filled in what was under the bathing suit. She smiled that smile again, and thanked me for coming. She said she knew the students were grateful for my being here, and for my being in good physical shape for their practice. She said to relax, and just be natural. I told her this wasn't exactly natural for me to be sitting here naked in front of 12 strangers, but I would try.
So here I sat for the next 15 minutes, wondering what everyone was drawing. Wondering what everyone saw and how they translated it onto paper. All the while, Gerri circulated around the room, giving tips and guidance to the students. More here, shadow there...that sort of thing. She kept looking at me to confirm her pointers to the class, and I found myself wondering more and more about her. How would she draw me? What did she look like naked? I would love to draw her. I had to quickly put those thoughts away, or else there would be more to draw that wasn't there to start with. That would be soooo embarrassing.
As the break came, she gave me a couple minutes to relax and stretch. She offered me a towel to cover up, and I just shrugged and told her I might as well get used to it. I was beginning to feel more and more comfortable being naked in this setting. It wasn't erotic. At least not yet. The rest of the session was fine, and as the hour wound down, I was quite at ease in my role as nude model.. Nothing to it. I could do this easy, especially for this money. Easy 50 bucks.
I began to dress and Gerri told me she would see me around the pool, and confirmed the next session for later in the week. She and the class thanked me for coming, and I whistled walking home. It felt pretty good to be a model for a class.
I saw Gerri at the pool the next morning, and she smiled at me, and said she thought I looked better with all my clothes off. I looked around to see if anyone else heard her remark. No other gossipers there to spread rumors. I asked her if she ever modeled nude, and she said she had in the past, and now she only did private sessions. I wondered at that comment, and we went about our swim.
I showed up on time for the next class, and talked about this and that, about art stuff mostly, her job and her students as the class filed in, and then she directed me to the screen to disrobe. This time, it felt weird to undress behind a screen, then to emerge naked. I suppose the act of undressing still needs to be kept private to remove the erotic part of the action. Whatever.
The students worked studiously, because I guess that's what students do, and again, in my increasing comfort with the whole situation, my mind started to wander and I began to look at the students more closely and noticed a couple very pretty women. Most students would catch my eye and smile if I looked in their direction, and then continue about their work. One girl, sitting in the back, was always avoiding my gaze if I looked in her direction.
She seemed rather embarrassed, and when Gerri was there at her drawing, she gave her some extra help and attention. She was quite pretty, blonde and fair skinned, hair pulled back to expose her face, with gleaming blue eyes, filled with innocence. I wondered if she had ever seen a naked man before, and she was seeing my body from more than an artistic standpoint. I had to stop these thoughts too, or else I might get scolded by the teacher for disrupting the class if I got an erection. That thought had potential too. Later though.
