Why do I feel awkward about my g/f doing some modeling (no, not naked modelling)?

Question

My g/f is really pretty and a friend of hers works as a model. She asked my g/f if she would like to do a model shoot, just for some fun, and the photos were stunning, very arty and good quality shots.

Last weekend, she did another shoot, and this time she and her best friend wore bikinis and again, the shots were amazing, a little more risque, more FHM than Mayfair, if you take my meaning.

However, when I look at these latest pics, I feel awkward like I don't know why. I can't tell her how I feel cos I can't describe it. I just told her "I don't want to talk about these pics" and that was that . . why do I feel so awkward about them ?

Answer 1

i would say its a form of jealousy...someone has seen your girlfriend in a bikini and taken pictures of her... she may wear a bikini on the beach, butt thats with you chilling out, or her friends, this is a completely different scale...

i suppose you are also concerned that if any pictures got in a mag, then everyone everywhere will be lusting at your girlfriend.

its healthy to be a bit awkward about the pictures, but make sure you think about it and let her know why you feel awkward.

Answer 2

jealousy.

it's normal to feel that way. i honestly think it would have been nice of her to talk to you about it before going ahead and posing in a bikini for some photo shoot. she should probably respect you more.

at the same time, if you tell her how you feel, she might get defensive and tell you she can do what she wants. especially since i am sure doing the photo shoots make her feel good.

my advice to you would be to try and talk to her about it and ask her why she is doing it. also, remember she probably doesn't realize how you feel about it, and she isn't doing it to hurt you. feeling awkward about the idea of other people seeing your girlfriend that way is normal. it would actually be weird if you were perfectly fine with it. being a little jealous, or wanting to protect her is okay. just make sure that if she goes further with it, and it makes you uncomfortable, you let her know.

Answer 3

I assume your jealous that other people will get to look at her, maybe your worried it may lead to more risqué photo shoots..

Personally I would not be jealous, I would be proud and encourage her if she enjoys doing it.
