You are right to a degree, i guess it all depends on what the actual opportunity it is, who will be seeing the pictures, and what it entails. as well as how the b/f is reacting

Now I'm not saying that the bf/gf has a right to tell you not to do it because you're right...it's your body. No one can tell you what to do with your body. I'm just saying that to expect your significant other to be all right with you exposing yourself to a photographer for viewing by others just doesn't work. Art is beautiful and I'm not disputing that.... I just don't know what I'd say if I had a gf say to me that I had to be ok with her posing. I'd tell her that she could do whatever she wanted to, but that I wouldn't necessarily like it.

Again, you have a point; I may not have eleborated enough on what I said before. I bascially meant that if the significant other was freaking out about it, causing a scene, getting angry at you over it (whether or not they outright tell you not to do it) etc, then that is not something I would want in a partner, and don't thinkis something anyone should let sway their decision to do it or not. It also doesn't have much to do with being SEXUALLY liberated, maybe liberation in other ways but I personally do not see why someone would have a large problem with there b/f or g/f taking nude, tasteful, artistic pictures that most likely won't be seen by anyone they know (which they usually won't be if it is more of a personal thing simply for portfolios.. not national exhibitions or something along those lines)

I think what it really breaks down to is that not everyone is as sexually liberated as you Jenna and you shouldn't expect them to be either.

I don't expect everyone to be, trust me. I'm reminded every day how people don't always have the same views as me, and I don't try to push them on them (even though they often push their ideals on me). Anyways, as I said before I don't really see it as sexual liberation.. It just seems.... normal to me that I wouldn't want someone sweating over or freaking out at photographers (and I mean I've heard of fist fights) because they aren't comfortable with a couple nudie pictures of someone they happen to be "going out with". However, I am in what could be called an "open" relationship so I may look at things very differently when it comes to relationships. Either way, i wasn't TELLING her to think or do anything, simply staing my opinion that was formed with what very little I know on the subject. I do admit I may have gone overboard by suggesting he may have jealousy or control issues though, if he simply is not comfortable with it but wasn't freakig out over the thing... then there is nothing wrong with that. It just wouldn't effect my decision. Now, my mother having a problem with me posing nude is another thing... :D
