When I was 18 I posed nude for a sketch artist. I had known him quite a while and I was comfortable being naked in front of him. Thing was, he digitized the sketches onto his computer and made several variations of the sketches he did. His computer skills refined the sketches to almost photographic quality. His sketch/computer area was in the corner of his living room and often the pictures of me were on his drawing board or monitor for anyone to see.

So Kavilopov, I think you have it right .. it was embarrassing knowing so many had seen me nude, but at the same token , it was very exciting knowing others were seeing me naked. Once the initial humiliation of knowing guys who knew me had photographic knowledge of my naked body wore off, it almost DID become an empowering feeling
