I have done nude photography five times (I think), and once with a male model. Trying to work with a male model was interesting, but frustrating as I had a hard time finding the lines and shapes interesting enough to photograph. It was not the sexual part as the pictures were partially abstract, but the beautiful curves I would look for on a female mode were impossible to find so I had to try something different.
