E-grāmata: Naked Truths: Adventures in Art: The Life & Times of a Male Life Model

An erotic and often humorous memoir of a male life model in the UK. This is the story of a man’s unconventional upbringing in the Australian outback, a boy who became obsessed with art books, art, and ballet. He was introduced to these creative outlets by his mum, who recognised that as a ‘hyperactive’ kid, he was only ever still when he had his nose in art books. His mum also recognised the need to combine and focus his creative interests with disciplined physical activity. She therefore saw fit to introduce him to ballet classes at the age of six.The story unfolds, building on the influence of women in his early life, as he completes his ballet exams and moves to live and work in the UK as a dancer, actor, and life model. What was intended as a ‘gap year’ in the UK became his permanent country of residence. An early, fortuitous meeting with a professional female artist in London led him to become immersed in the art world as a professional male life model, initially to supplement his income but mainly to satisfy his first love of expressive, figurative art. This, in turn, led him into a number of erotic and sometimes bizarre sexual encounters and situations with female creatives, in environments where they felt adventurous and secure enough to express and indulge in their own fantasies with him.
