kotek001's blog post - I've been seen

"How's the water, my little buddy? You are almost completely immersed, so you should be able to tell." That is what I meant by previous Saturday photo title. OK, never mind. Previous Monday, March 16 was a special day for me: 3 years since I signed up for NN. Not much of a reason for celebration, but I did something interesting anyway. Inspired by this story: [url]http://laist.com/2008/05/12/the_land_withou.php[/url], I wasn't wearing pants that day. The feeling was awesome. I was turned on all day long and my little buddy was excited too. Well, I'm still not wearing pants. Now, after over a week of this new behavior it feels quite normal.

OK, to the point. If you post to a website your nude photos with full face visible it's natural to ask yourself "Will I be recognized?". Meeting somebody who has seen the photos could be an exciting experience and an opportunity for fun. I used to imagine such a scene: several girls look at me giggling and one of them says "We have seen your pics on NewbieNudes, ha ha". Completely unruffled, I reply "And leaving some comments was too much effort for you, huh?". I was convinced that most people couldn't recognize me even face-to-face, and even if they did, they wouldn't admit and approach me. And here's a surprise. Recently I received a PM from an NN user who believed to have seen me. He might well be right--I was indeed in the time and place that he mentioned. And boy, is it hard to recognize anybody in such circumstances: fully dressed, riding a bicycle in darkness. On the next day while "in the field" taking photos, I was seen by a passer-by. He approached me and we started talking. He turned out to be a photographer himself and a nude beach lover. I told him about my photos and posting them. He seemed to be just a gay guy hoping to see me naked. The conversation was a great eye-opener to me. It showed me very clearly how important it is to be relaxed, confident and enthusiastic when approaching someone, and to acknowledge their experience and current frame. He definitely lacked some of those which turned me off and got him "rejected". I just didn't feel like being photographed by him. But never mind that guy. I failed miserably myself. I failed to stay within the appropriate frame, that is. I could tell him incredible things, surprise him, charm him, astound him, inspire him, and leave him in awe. I could get him to take some photos of me with him and with other people. At least attempt to. Instead I was wary and defensive. The thing is to have a strong frame and to stay within it, no matter what. So "I am happy to be pointed to this thing and I am amazed at how easy and exciting it will be to achieve significant improvement in this regard", also "I am allowing my mind to make any necessary changes and I know that all I need is already inside me, it just needs to be revealed". I'm looking forward to new, fascinating encounters.
