ClueChick: real clues from a real chick

In the world of online hookups, there are a lot of standards. There's the one night stand, the friends with benefits, the intense fling, the flaccid coffee date... Every once in a while, though, something creeps up behind me and throws a twist into the mix.

I was recently contacted by an artist who's into erotic paintings. And was he looking for models to come to his studio for "modeling sessions"? That is, naturally, what I expected as I opened his email. But, no, he was looking for couples who would be willing to have sex for the camera so he could use the images for source material in his paintings.

Well, damn, that's a new one on me! I'm something of a shy exhibitionist, and having my photo taken while fucking had never made it to my list, much less my "top ten" list, of things to try. But, hey, I'm game, and I have a lover who also has been known to enjoy a bit of exhibitionism, so I called him up, and we met the artist, and we thought, "Why, what the hell?" Okay, maybe we actually thought, "That sounds new and hot!"

So we did! And it was, in fact, new and hot. (The hotness was increased by the studio lights, I'll admit. If you're ever fucking under studio lights, I recommend doing it in the winter and with a window open.) Now, the only other time I've had sex in the presence of people-not-my-lover was at a party where other folks were doing other things while also watching us. Being the center of attention was quite different! It took a while to get into things, but once we relaxed into things, it was a lot of fun.

Quite a lot of fun, in fact. It's one of those things that seems like I would do better the second or third time. I guess I'll have to find another photographer.
