I could have made the same amount of money, without driving 20 miles at inconvenient times, as a bartender or a student aide to a faculty member. I don't think, in retrospect, that I would have life-modelled if I hadn't been a heterosexual male submissive with a certain, albeit sublimated, exhibitionis streak.

It was at a small college and at a community college both about 20 miles from where I lived (in different directions); and where I didn't know anybody. Adele is right, it was a submissive experience. You held a pose for hours, using little tricks to ease the tension. You had a certain pride in your body, but you had to go within yourself, and sublimate yourself. You couldn't do it well if you visually flirted, or even looked, at any co-ed in the room; but you couldn't do it at all if you didn't give yourself to all of them. In a sense, you were nothing but, in another the center of all. I did life-modelling to help pay bills while in law school.

They shouldn't stand too close to the coke brazier, though. Goodness knows what might get singed. I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to cross their picket line!
