Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that I, from the age of 17 I had to paint and draw the nude figure and there is nothing sexy about it atall. I am a woman and I have been in mixed classes and the models are mostly fat or hairy or skinny or old or whatever...only ONCE was I in a class (in LA naturally) where the model was somewhat attractive with fake boobs and everyone just complained that she was all wrong for classical style drawing.
I really wouldn't worry. Art is SO not sexual unless you are sexually immature. Maybe for a 15 year old boy, there might be a thrill but I think, even for a teenager, after 10 minutes, it would still be about his drawing talents.
You should be happy that you have a guy who shares with you like Diane said. And also that you are with a gentleman. So many women are with men who use pornography and simply objectify the female body.
At most art classes, there is a big variety of male and female models and all sizes and shapes.
Also, the model undresses behind a screen so this removes any titillation with undressing.
Don't worry...all will be fine!
