That is why I bought a digital camera in the first place.
As attractive as the idea is, you'd probably rather I didn't use a nude picture of you as my computer's wallpaper. I can't think of anything I'd rather see when I sit down to my computer, but it might shock the kids.
This may be the answer to my desire to inspect your clitoris at length, too. Not as good as live, but digital can be blown up.
I've spent our entire marriage shopping for (originally) Polaroid cameras or (when they came along) digital cameras, but never finding one I liked. Now that we have one, well, I never find the nerve to ask.
So, in fairness, with the shoe on the other foot: Would I pose for you?
Yeah, I'd do it. I can't imagine why you would want it: Even now, with my weight down, I'm no prize (and the sagging flesh characteristic of a dramatic weight loss gives me something of an elephant-man look). But then some days I don't know what you see in me anyway, I'm just glad it's there.
While I'm on the subject: Next time you're wondering what to get me for my birthday or Christmas, consider calling a photographer and having a portrait done. You might find one who does nudes. (I'm not sure how you'd identify a respectable one, but I'll bet one of our actress friends would know.) Of course I want nude pictures of you: You're the sexiest woman on the planet! (I'll bet you don't think I mean that.)
I have a memory, from when I was very young, of sticking my head into my Dad's office at his business (an area where I felt I wasn't allowed) and seeing
a Playboy calendar hanging on the wall.
At the time, I was offended by it. I still remember that strong reaction today, when I am occasionally tempted to put a nude or swimsuit calendar at my computer desk.
Yes, I know, there's a "nude" calendar at my desk right now, but it's not a "real" nude, it's a Calendar Girls calendar. Nothing shows.
I find this frustrating. As I've said, and as I fervently believe, there is nothing more attractive than the female form. So, of course, that's what I'd like to have images of. But I don't want my kids to have the same reaction to my desk that I had to my Dad's.
