Who said being erotic is easy?

You may have already seen the post by Jackie Adshead about my latest erotic art experience.

Jackie had arranged another session for me to pose naked with her favourite female model. When we arrived, Jackie had already formed an idea for the pose. After some experimentation we got undressed and took up our positions.

If you look carefully at our bodies, it is quite obvious that nothing is actually happening between us. Jackie pointed out that it is left to the viewer to think about what might happen next, or maybe what has already happened!

Jackie's title of "Overcome" could have been "Come over"....

I was kneeling and supporting most of my weight on my left arm (which is out of sight). It is amazing how a pose that feels comfortable initially soon makes muscles ache, and I could feel the pressure on my left arm and wrist. The female model could feel the tension building in her back.

After about an hour, both of us needed a short break. I wandered over and stood next to Jackie to look at the emerging image. It was clear to me that there was still a lot of work to do. I had thought we would be taking up a fresh pose for another image, but she explained that this style of drawing takes a long time and that we would be doing only one image during this session.

On her blog, Jackie raises the question of how this image compares with our previous sessions. My descriptions of those sessions can be found here and here.

Yesterday, I showed this image to J from London. She liked the image and was interested in how we posed and produced it, but she feels it lacks passion. I wonder if there is something to learn from that observation?
