Shame and degradation.
Being a man I have to say I have, over the years, enjoyed images of scantily clad women… Not any more*
Chipps, Sim, Mark, Jo and I have just been photgraphed in our boxers for our up-and-coming training articles with Dave ‘Devil Incarnate’ Smith
Now I think that, except for Jo, I’ve seen everyone in the office in boxers or even naked either in the office or by the side of a car getting changed to go riding, Today was an entirely different experience… I don’t know whether it was the cameras. or maybe the knowledge that twenty thousand copies of the magzine are being printed with us almost naked, but I don’t think I’ve felt so selfconscious in all my life.
All of a sudden the room seemed to get hotter and everybody was giggly, my armpits suddenly seemed very damp and no one wanted to take their clothes off.. I volunteered in the end to get it out of the way.
Don’t worry love, we’ll fix it in Photoshop…
Well, it was finally done and we drove back from the location (a very nice upstairs room in a house) no one said a word… Giggles and “I don’t believe we’ve done that” was all that was said.
A few thoughts… It must be really, really weird doing glamour shots, and male and female models in the ‘adult industry’ must have no self conciousness at all.. ;]
If you want to see men and women shamed (some more shamed than others) get issue 32!
*Like giving up beer, the lesson will be swiflty forgotten.
