AUSTRALIAN PRUDERY CONTINUED I use on line classifieds like Craigs List and Gumtree to find models especially ones that are not professional and are therefore often more interesting to shoot I updated an add a more carefully worded and non erotic version of the one above on Gumtree ( Australian version of Craigslist )and they deleted it overnight with the following explanation Your ad has been deleted Hi!

Some new works with a model who advertised as follows I am relatively new to the whole nude modelling experience but it has been something I have wanted to do for sometime and thought that as I will soon be turning 30 why not give it a go.... you only live once. I'd like to try all manner of nude modelling experience and am happy to be guided. I have a lot of energy and don't mind performing in front of the camera. I am not afraid of how I look and don't mind how my body looks either - I am comfortable in my own skin. I have no tattoos or piercings. I haven't done any modelling before, so at this stage I'm just looking forward to building a little bit of a portfolio and meeting lots of interesting creative people. It was fun to document the process PENIS PHOBIA AND ANXIETY Freud links anxiety and sexual frustration . it is so common for models to express interest in a naked shoot then pull back here is Freud's take on it Even where character formation and not disease is concerned, we easily recognize that sexual constraint goes hand in hand with a certain anxiety, a certain caution, while fearlessness and bold daring arise from free gratification of sexual desires. However much these relations are altered by various influences of civilization, for the average human being it is true that anxiety and sexual constraint belong together. 1920 Meanwhile most community galleries wont show my full frontal work and even contemporary ones want me to present it in a classical guise as high art rather than primal nakedness
