why do so many people pose nude for magazines such as vanity fair?

Vanity Fair is one of few pop culture magazines that garner a lot of respect.  Posing nude is a quick way to get noticed.  Posing nude for Playboy is bad press and screams of desperation.  Posing nude on, let's say, Vanity Fair, GQ or Esquire means you're an artist.  You're cutting edge and trendy.  It's tasteful, or so the artist and their agents think.  The covers are done by top photographers.  Annie Lebowitz does a lot of work for Vanity Fair, for instance.  The photos are done tastefully and in a few years, the photos will be considered pieces of art.  Some celebrities think this is a good move for their career.  I think otherwise, but who am I? :)\n\n\nTruth is, there are so many half-nude and nude covers on magazines these day, I'm becoming immune.  It's tired.  A magazine with interesting and well written articles doesn't have to stoop down to the level of becoming a T&A mag just to sell units.

Sure, has'nt everyone? Had a G/F who was also into nude recreation. I gave the O.K. when she asked bout submittin some of our pix to a couple amateur sites. ( voyeurweb, and projectvoyeur.com) Nuthin to be ashamed of, and is a bit tittilating to think someon'es getting aroused from one'e pics.

Because sometimes people just look funnier naked?

Yeah, give up modelling!\n\nI used to be a model myself and discovered all the deep dark secrets of the photographers world.  Unfortunately (for them) I have morals and standards and lines that I refuse to cross.\n\nIt really is a dirty business.\n\nOther than that, don't worry about it!  It's only a stone!

they shouldn't put their pics up...cuz whether it be men or women ppl are naturally gonna check out something especially if its nice

because if they don't, they realize they don't look as good. \nanother common theme is to turn up the contrast and brightness on the webcam or whatever to drown out the blemishes and complexion. this highlights the features, but it's still all about being fake.\na lot of girls on sites like hotornot or whatever do that. they also like to put in pictures of their cleavage or their butt.   so as to somehow lure in guys.\nwhat they fail to realize is it lures in idiots who fall for that crap, while the real men know it's all about being fake and the girl is a bimbo or just plain desperate.

most women WANT to do those types of video to express their sexuality and feel great about themselves. so win-win for them plus they get money+travel but it also comes with being in public eye all the time depending on u trying to be eye candy.

Because they know it turns guys on. They like the attention. It's the same reason they go to these clubs half dressed. It's to be looked at and noticed.

Because we live in a society that that demands perfection. People want to feel beautiful and an example of beauty. Like models. Skinnier people are more confident with their body and how  they expose themselves. Some overweight people get depressed and offended easier. They also might feel like they don't belong.

Teachings of our society. There have been  many societies where nudity was accepted as normal.

i think its because of surroundings: most beautiful people have so many other people jelouse of them that always can come up with something wrong... (just to make themself feel better) and also magazines, you look in those airbrushed magazines and its like... you can never look like that, so it puts a beautiful person down, when really NOONE looks that perfect, not even tyra banks..(dont get me wrong she is beautiful). and to top it off, most goodlooking girls get some boyfriend jerk that cant ever just say you gorgeous!\noh and instant karma... i feel you to girl!

The media is to blame. \n\nEverybody looks so perfect in magazines, television, and movies, that we subconsciously feel that we must look like them.

I think a lot of people are curious about EVERYBODY'S everyday lives and enjoy gossip about anyone. Tabloids, magazines, and interviews with celebrities ensure that there's a lot of information about celebrities out there. I have a feeling most people would read tabloids about their next-door neighbors if their neighbors had paparazzi following their every move. :)

Because there sick little perverts. And because they like to look at something they will never have. Yeah the women look better then us normal people. But alot of them have fake stuff. So the guys dream about being with them but never will.And i guess they try to get ideas to do to you. Alot of stuff too they will hide it and lie about it saying they don't look at it. And they try hiding it and you find it. I think they think your stupid or something. So guys just be straight forward about it. Oh and they might be embrass about looking at it so that's why they don't own up too it. Quit being little sissy guys.

no but it breaks with playboy tradition, every girl on the cover has generally appeared in playboy, so of course it help sell the magazine, only to find she was not inside, to me it's a cheap shot from otherwise a classy magazine to get a more publicity for it's declining subscription base, but then that's a sign of a decline when you try desperate measures

You're definitely NOT the only one who notices these things.\n\nI find it highly disturbing that most mypsace pages are full of pics of girls who just can't wait to get laid...Taking pics of themselves virtually nude to post on the internet for the entire planet to see.  For some reason, this has become the standard now, which scares the crap out of me.\n\nAnd yeah, how special that they're growing up to be the role models for the next generation of girls!  Awesome!\n\nI just keep hoping that society will have another swing back to morality - that the children of the current generation will rebel against this sexuality and perhaps decide that they/their bodies have value.
