Ive been to a number of figure drawing classes and workshops where the women ranged from average to smoking hot...there was one or two times that the model was slightly overweight...i dont think it affected the artwork so much either way tho. at least in my experience...also my definition of hot might be off....but on the whole i think that men are very forgiving when it comes to looks and nudity....

in any case a few months back i went to a workshop where every week we had a different model and each week she was smoking hot....all college students looking for extra money over the summer....i was turned on by it but at the same time focused on the art...looking around it seemed the others also didnt have a problem with it....maybe it was just the crowds i have been around. maybe its different depending on the class...like in a college where the kids just need the credit or just want to see a naked woman....of course they will be distracted by it...but in my experience artists tend to appreciate beauty
