As the students filed into the classroom, I tried but failed to stop my hands from shaking. Now, I'm a law professor, so I'm used to seeing students in a classroom. I've given hundreds of lectures to thousands of students. But this wasn't a law class. This was an art class at a community college. And I was seated on a stool in the center of the classroom wearing only a white robe.

And in five minutes, I was scheduled to take it off. How did I get there? Well, as you might guess, it was a midlife crisis I had about a year earlier when I suddenly decided I needed to find out if I could learn to do something creative. And I ended up taking a drawing class at a community arts center.

And I ended up taking a drawing class at a community arts center.

And I hadn't drawn anything since junior high, and my drawings were terrible, but I gradually got better. and better as the class went on. And we ended with drawing a model, a live nude model. And drawing a person, as I learned, is very difficult. And so as the class went on, the instructor, Heather, at one point said, I'm going to give Helen, the model, a break. Anybody want to stand up there?

Keep your clothes on, but anybody want to stand up there and take a turn posing? And I raised my hand, and I did. And for 15 minutes, I stood up there with my hands on my hips, twisting my torso. And my mind went blank for maybe the first time in my life. I now know that I discovered a form of meditation, but it felt great.

And then afterwards, I looked at the drawings that my fellow classmates had made of me, and I liked them. And I thought, this was wonderful. And so after the class was over, I emailed Heather, the instructor, and said, that was wonderful. Are there more opportunities to do that? And she came straight to the point in her email back, are you willing to pose nude?

This led to an interesting conversation with my extremely indulgent wife. And ultimately, the answer was, yes, I'd like to see if I have the guts to do that. And I'd like to have that feeling again. And so fast forward a few months, I made contact with a community college professor. And I had a date, September 14, 2010, a Wednesday evening. And so I started preparing for it.

So I did poses in front of the mirror. I did poses in front of my extremely indulgent wife. I went online hoping to find reassurance because I was getting more and more frightened as the date approached. And I did not find reassurance online. Instead, I found advice such as, if you're a male model, whatever you do, for God's sakes, don't think of any sexual thoughts.
