Stu is a re red university professor who taught and conducted research related to human diversity issues for more than 30 years. His first college job, in 1964, was posing naked for art classes— he s ll poses part- me. He was a successful author of college text- books. "Lights On—Clothes Off" 'Confessions of an Unabashed Ex- hibi onist' is his first novel. Stu welcomes comments and ques ons related to his column or book. His email: stuauthor@gmail.com. My friends know that I've been posing nude for art and photo classes for years. Their comments have mostly been posi ve. The friends who have intrigued me are those who stated they were jealous; that they wish they've had the experience of being naked in front of a group or in public. But they were either too afraid or they didn't know ways to accomplish this. For those who want to get naked for an audience here are some sugges ons. Before you give one a try keep in mind that you must be careful to not break any laws. And you might be captured by a cell phone and your picture may end up on social media. There, you have been warned. Here are eight fun ways to get naked with lots of eyes on you. And yes, I've done all of these! 1. Head to a nudist beach. An online search will help you find one nearby. My favorites include Blacks Beach in San Diego (a twenty minute drive for us), Hippie Hollow in Aus n and Haulover Beach in Mi- ami. When you travel interna onally you'll easily find beaches or parks where nudity is common. Un- dress, stretch out on the sand and enjoy yourself. 2. Contact your local college art department. They o en need nude models for drawing, pain ng, sculp- ture and some mes for photography. As a first mer I suggest mee ng with the instructor in advance to get posing sugges ons. Holding a posi on for ten or twenty minutes can be difficult so start with simple poses. 3. Play strip poker with your friends—and cheat. Set yourself up to be the loser (meaning winner) by dis- carding those good cards. Be sure to grumble about your lousy hands so no one catches on to your ploy. (I apologize to my friends for my past chea ng.) 4. Visit a nudist resort. You can typically purchase a day pass but some mes they turn away singles— check their policy before you go. An online search will give you op ons in your area. You'll see all ages and body types at the resorts. What to bring? A towel to sit on and sunscreen. Be ready to play vol- leyball! And then cool off in their outdoor showers. Take your me soaping up while being watched. 5. Offer your services as a naked waiter. Tell your friends about your new gig or adver se online. The hosts and guests will appreciate your help and enjoy looking at all of you. You may get an innocent quick pat or grope—handle those with a smile. 6. Head to San Francisco where in some areas being naked in public is allowed. Check for the latest local nudity laws as they seem to change o en. I was not the only one showing his stuff during my stroll from Market Street up Castro Street. It was fun posing for some of the tourists—most of them asked first and of course I said, "Yes, take all the photos you want." Remember to bring a bag for your clothing and valu- ables. 7. If there's a teaching hospital or school that trains medical students, nurse prac oners or physician assistants near you, give them a call. They hire pro- fessional pa ents as subjects for their classes. You will be thoroughly examined and probed.
