So did you both go the jail or did your parents go to jail instead because of lack of parental supervision? big_smile

I remember I was very sexually active in my teen, but for some reasons all the girls in my age were not or they all crossed the legs tight.  I can't remember.  tongue

Please take some time off and learn some manners.

The truth is often hard to bear.  Does the new born has any saying on this?  What future does he has in the hands of the 14 yo and 16 yrs children.  Now her boy is 14 yo.  Should he be having his baby now, because he is sexually active.   IS this the society's fault that we have to pay for this.

WTF?

from what Ive seen amongst my friends is they either had their kids early and then quickly went back to modeling or they have them when they decide to end their career.

With that said I realise I was working up to last year with a 39 year old model, mom of three kids and she only quit this year. Another friend is 33 and has two kids....

So really, I think it can be done and it's just logistics...

Several models in this thread, myself included, didn't even start modeling until after they had children. Oh, and I am 47.

Like your sense o' humor.

We've something similar, to "spluge".
No classes here though. Well , maybe two A) the one percent, I doubt they'd be able to spluge, let alone use it in a sentence, as they're mostly aged or Aspies. And two) us 99 percenters are happy to do both.

No problem during sex, huge problem while spunking or spluging.

I have no intentions of having children. It has nothing to do with modeling I just don't think kids are right for me.

Yea some people feel they would rather be aunts n uncles rather than mommy and daddy

I don't have any kids, nor do I plan on having any kids. I love kids, but not my cup o' tea.

That said, if I were to have kids I would approach parenting with the philosophy that nudity and sex are not bad things, and within the correct circumstances can be very good things.

Especially being an LGBTQ person from a conservative culture, I really value frank discussions about sexuality and bodies. One of the most damaging experiences I had as a child was when my mother wouldn't tell me what the word "gay" meant, leading me to assume that it was something horrific. Of course, I later found out from a friend what it meant and also that it was the word which described my feelings toward women. It really, really, really sucks to think as a child that your parents consider your sexuality to be vulgar and lesser than theirs.

Because of this, I would never want any child of mine to ever think that their body or sexuality, or the bodies and sexualities of others, is at all something to be ashamed of. Therefore, I would have no problem with my hypothetical children viewing my portfolio if they wished to.

I absolutely want children. Probably by the time I have children I will be too busy focusing on them to be modeling anymore, and I probably wouldn't be quite as attractive because I'll be older, but if I still was contacted for paying gigs I probably would. I plan on raising my children to be open minded about beauty, art, and sexuality so that they won't be shocked if they do find my glamour shots. I mean no one is perfect but as long as you treat your kids well and provide them with their needs who cares if you posed nude when you were young?

Also if I stay with my current boyfriend my kids will be half Slavic, and most Europeans are way less concerned with nudity anyway. America is a very prudish society in many ways.

I'm Slavic with Slavic parents. The extent of their prudishness can be seen above your post. smile

I started modeling after I had my daughter, I don't worry about what she might think one day because I don't hide it from her now and never will. She has come to shoots with me and doesn't even spare it a second glance. I hope I have raised them with open minds so they see it as a cool thing I did for myself.

I'm a photographer, but I've also done a lot of modeling, and I have no problem with that & kids. I'd much rather have my kids see my nudes (as photographer or model) than the routine and accepted violence that's omnipresent in movies & TV. I simply don't get why people are so obsessed with keeping their kids from seeing uncovered bodies (which after all, we all have).

Is there similar a attitude toward nudity in Taiwan as in America?

This is a good point. It's a lot harder raising children in a society where nudity is such a big no no. On top of that I have an ex-husband who is a prude. If I lived in Europe I probably wouldn't even have to think about it being a big deal because it wouldn't be. The fact that we have different videos just for the U.S. is ridiculous.

If you aren't doing nudes why would it be an issue at all?
