    Ever since we have been looking at photogs, FI thinks Boudoirs are sooooooo cool.  He even comes on here and researches what Bees have said about them and their experience.  

    He floated around the idea of me doing them and while I think they are really cool, I couldn't bring myself to do it.  I mean what if I run for President one day (hhahahahaha).  

    Anyway, I suggested to him that if he likes it so much then maybe he should do some; shoot, I wouldn't mind seeing him that way ( I think my FI is pretty beautiful, lol).  You should have seen the look he gave me, like I suggested he punch Jesus in the nose or something.   So let's just say we are both keeping our clothes on in front of the camera.  

    Do you think your man would do a Boudoir shoot?  Would there even be a market for this (if there isn't already?)

    Mine would never lol. As much as I think he is gorgeous - I have to say looking at him trying to "play sexy or sensual" in a photo might make me burst out laughing lol. It is definitely not something I think he or I would want - maybe a sensual photo of us together though - that might be cool.

    I think FI would do one together but not solo.

    DH had a 6 month/1 years stint as a commercial model and has some risque photos from his "modeling" days. It wouldn't take much for him to do a "boudoir" session if it was the norm. Would he do them now? No way, I don't see it picking up in the mainstream... And I agree with with PP... I would bust out laughing at his poses and facial expressions... :P

    lol I would love a boudoir shoot of FI. He's an athlete and I even joke about wanting to take pictures of him (not naked though) so we can remember when we're old and wrinkly. He didn't like the idea at all. He's not really into his body at all and he only works out for his performance (it's not like doing crunches for a six pack or lifting weights for arms).

    There is NO way my husband would have done one.  I can just imagine the look I'd get if I ever suggested such a thing.

    No way- he has a very low body image and hates getting his picture taken. E-pics were difficult enough.

    Honestly, I would probably bust out laughing too.  My FI just looks constipated when he tries to do 'sexy face'.    

    I still want to see some equality in boudoirs!

    like seinfeld taught us, a woman's body is a work of art. a man's body is...not that attractive.

    As a guy, my impression is that most women do these shoots for themselves, and that is a good thing (nothing wrong with that). 

    While some guys may actually like the idea that this is a gift for them, I think it's far from the vast majority. 

    My personal opinion is that it doesn't make for a great gift for various reasons that I won't get into here.

    I don't think most guys would be against physically doing the shoot as much as shelling out the cash for it that they probably see as wasted and a lost opportunity for something else they really want or need.  In this case, it WOULD most likely be 100% a gift for you.  I couldn't image them posting the images on a website or sharing them with friends as many women do with their B-pics.

    If you spend any time on body building forums, some serious health nuts get prof. pics done to show off on their bodyspace pages.  I think this is about as popular as this gets with guys on average.

    Also, most guys would want a female photographer, how would you feel about that?

    We've done a BDSM shoot before together. I don't think he would do them alone. And we didn't pay for it because the photographer was portfolio building and was still in art school. I don't think he would be willing to shell out the cash for soft porn photos that he could take himself if he wanted. ^_^

    @USER876: I'd have to beg to differ with what you are saying. My man constantly harps me about taking photos for him. He has to work out of town a lot and has actually printed off boudoir type photos of me to take with him. He'll be at work and beg to have me send him a photo on my cell phone. His best friend is the same way with his wife as well. I actually don't know very many men that would be disappointed in half-naked pictures of their SO.

    My man doing a shoot on his own...welll......

    I don't think he'd be totally game with a professional photographer. We have joked about him doing a firemen's calander though, so who knows. I think if he were to do some sexy fireman shots it would have to be for a good cause. Sometimes when he's been gone for a long time I do make him take pictures and send them to me via cell phone and he ocassionaly does a muscle flexing of sorts...haha he'd kill me for telling anyone!!! He is pretty buff though ;)

    @USER876:

    good question.  I guess it woud have to be female, tho.  I dont *think* I would mind, who knows.  Fi would probably really punch Jesus at the thought of a male photographer taking pictures of him all risque and stuff.

    As a friend of mine once said after a trip to a male strip club once said, "there's just nothing attractive about a flaccid penis," and that's kind of how I imagine that kind of thing would be.

    This entire thread is making me laugh, especially the Seinfeld picture!  And can I just say to the OP, if my bf was going on here looking up boudoir posts I would have a hard time believing he was "researching" lol!!

    You know, I asked my photographer friend the very same question.  His answer:  "Men have too much hair"

     

    Love the George Constanza picture!
