If offered $25K would you pose nude for Playboy/Playgirl? Would you be so proud of the photos that you would show people? Like say your coworkers, siblings, old friends…or would you keep the money and pictures to yourself? ---

_looks at new Harley catalogue_ Hell yes. I wouldn’t show 'em around though, but I wouldn’t care if anybody saw 'em either. ---

Sure. It’s only a body. Nothing to be ashamed of. ---

And, on a preemptive note, I will go ahead and suggest that all folks answering in the affirmative post a link to their audition photos. 😉 ---

I actually _did_ audition for playboy back in college. I am an exhibitionist and want to enjoy what I have while I still have it. I was auditioning for the Big 12 issue, but it was for the next year and I was graduating so they said I should try to do the actual center-fold thing, but only if I lost 10 pounds… Guys, I was 128 pounds at 5 foot 9…the only way I could have lost 10 pounds would have been to cut off one of my limbs… But I did do test photos…topless and in a bikini. The photgrapher’s last name was Chang, he was very cool, I mean he had seen it ALL and one more girl is no big deal. O, and one bikini photo also ended up being on the front page of the college newspaper. I had ex-boyfriends and guys who never called me back before coming out of the woodwork. ---

Hell yeah!.. If Playgirl wants a picture of me and my taint, they’re more than welcome. If they wanted to pay me a couple hundred dollars, it’s theirs for the taking. ---

umm… yeah without a doubt I would… I would probably do it for $25…There are many… many things I would do for $25,000… I would show anyone who wanted to see them… but I don’t know about my family… “hey mom… It is a lot bigger than the last time you saw it huh?” (changing diapers you sickminded…) ---

Were I to have the bod for it, sure I’d pose. Of course, the subjunctive verb in the preceding sentence is indicative that it’s an exercise divorced from reality. Again, were I to dwell the alternate universe in which I rate a centrefold, I would not make a big publicity campaign among my peeps, but neither would I deny it if brought up. I would tell my immediate family it happened, but leave it to them to check out the pics if they wanted. ---

Jesus, yeah. Not that I come anywhere _near_ having the body for it, but for $25K I’d take my clothes off just about any place, for any reason. I have no shame. Hell, there’s a damned good chance that I’d do it for $250, and a better-than-50-50 chance I’d do it for $25. Children would run away screaming, old ladies would faint, men would gag and fair young maidens would wrinkle their nose in disgust, but hey… ---

Ah, when the day comes that Playgirl wants to include me in a pictorial spread of bald, middle-aged machinists, I’d do it just for shits and giggles ---

Would I have control of how much airbrushing is used? If it were 20 years ago, yep, I’d be there with nothing but bells on. Nowadays, umm, not so much. ---

SO sent my photos in to Playgirl’s “Guy Next Door” feature (or whatever they call it). Didn’t get published, but it wouldn’t have bothered me if it had. ---

Well alright but I dont really know if I can scrape together that much money… Do you really think Playgirl will take the money if I send them nude photos of me…?? ---

I’d consider it if Playgirl was doing a Fat Computer Dorks issue. Imagining myself draped sensually over my monitor, clutching my optical mouse and looking meaningfully into the camera…well, c’mon, that’s just hot. ---

In a heartbeat, natch. Of course, who reads Playgirl? I’d get better coverage dancing around naked on the top of Mt. Everest. 😃 ---

Definitely. You know, I imagine it could be pretty positive for me. I mean, I’m single right now, and I’m sure most women would laugh so hard their Crystal Light would come out their noses, but I’m sure there would be some women who found me wierdly attractive, and inquire about my relationship status… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-pose-for-playboy-playgirl/196675.md?page=2)
