Hi,
I would like to have a contact w/ Susan Dominus. I'm writing from Brazil and I work for a woman's magazine called "Pense Leve'. I'm writing an article about Botox, and I would love to have her words about this. I'll be waiting for!!!
Best regards

It's a ;ittle disappointing to read the carnal/ID responses to your confession from so many( But I guess once again it's "if you want the obvious..you get the obvious") Too bad we all haven't all learned that it's the damn journey not the destination. I know this is a carnal/ID website where we can get a little more passion into our lives & imagination..but thanx,susan, for sharing your journey.

this feedback is about your therapists thong thing. i got error page when i tried.
you absolutely should stop seeing this guy.
the sociobology bullshit is enough reason, compounded by the fact that he ALWAYS explains gendered oppresive behavior in so-bi terms. even the moronic theorists of that reactionary excuse/theory would tend to occaisonally allow for the possibility that something else might be going on, something about POWER, that perhaps creepy male behavior might have something to do with something other than a (harmless?? NOT) desire to propagate the species.
and surely you might have a clue that in the (i think properly) litigious status quo he would never admit it since that could be tantamount to reporting himself.
id love a response

interesting coincidence that my comments (signed mr) are immediately followed by someone else's who signed theirs MR. These are not two (now three) comments by the same people. We're different people.

Beautifully written and thought provoking. I recently allowed a close friend to sketch me in the nude and I agree that the best part about it was the experience. Looking at the resulting drawing is, for me, less about studying myself and more about remembering how it felt to study his face as he transferred me to paper. Reading this reminded me of that...it is also lovely to read the remarks of a person who discovers that although they might not be the next Cindy Crawford, they like themselves. In this age of intense physical criticism, liking yourself is sometimes very difficult - but very rewarding when accomplished.

Dear Susan,
I read your article about being photographed nude. I believe it's what everyone needs to do in order to feel part of the world. Someone else, with a camera, needs to view us naked: then we're finally visible. I've written a novel about this--a young woman goes to a professional photographer for some photos of her naked. She tells the photographer she needs someone else's eyes to see her, someone she doesn't know. He complies, reluctantly, for though he has photographed naked women before and has a large collection of their images, he's also a little afraid of these images. Why? Because he feels these images look back at him. All photographs have eyes, he believes (he's not crazy, just quirky), especially photos of bare bodies. He believes it's impossible to objectify women (or men) with cameras, for each time a person looks at or photographs another body then that body stares back and regards the viewer with an implacable stare. There's no escape! In my novel, the photograher discovers that he has gotten involved with more than he bargained for when he finds out that the woman he photograhed is an artist who draws violent, erotic cartoon magazines. After posing for him, she then asks him to pose for her. He complies, only to discover later he has been displayed for all the world to see in the pages of her magazine--naked and murdered. The image presents us to the world, whether we want it or not. . .
My book is about the power of images to encompass us and surmount us, and it is about the all-seeing eyes we imagine everywhere around us. Do we relish this, or not? Who knows? It's seductive, though, and scary. . .
Would you like to see an excerpt from the novel? It's currently under consideration by several literary agents. I've published stories in magazines, both erotic and liteary. I'm new to your magazine, and I have many stories for you, if you want them.

Dear Susie,
I read this article "GOOD FOR YOU" ! I hope you always feel good about yourself.
I also read every word of your article in the New York
Times. I thought it was teriffic. It was sensitive and informative and really interesting reading.

Indeed, the photographs themselves are quite irrelevant. It is the process, the experience that this article is about. The accompanying illustration does a marvelous job of, yes, illustrating that fact. Lovely essay.

Well now I think it's a little rude to demand the photos! As if there aren't a million naked bodies on this and every other sex site already. What about in the old days, when there weren't photos! People had to describe themselves naked, and there were probably fuller pictures in the heads of people in the dark doing it than there ever could be from a photograph. They were probably picturing animal parts, meadows, fear -- mixing all these things up with the actual human body beneath them, because that's what you do when you read instead of see and you have to put the picture in your brain with thoughts as well as with measurements and real things. It's nice to not show, for once, I think.

Hey! Wait a minute! What is this? Where are the nude photos to accompany this article? You were expect a nerve employee to have more nerve and include the photos sans clothes. As one woman to another I ask "Why not?" I am thoroughly disappointed.

Hi Susan,
I can really rely/identify to your story.
Too bad you didn't go all the way and shared the pics with us.
Bon courage,

Sounds to me like you chose a safe avenue to quench a thirst for exhibitionism. And more power to you for doing so.

Further proof that Nerve is out of ideas and feeling more each day like a tired vanity project than a legitimate source of anything interesting.

I have to disagree with you. Your photographs are not static. In some way they are exactly the opposite: they reflect the exact moment of your own evolution from knowing yourself to accepting yourself thoroughly... Although image is static, the precise moment they capture is, indeed, a self-growing dinamic process. Does that make any sense??

I am a 30+ woman who is sometimes at odds with my body. I have been toying with the idea of having some nude shots done and now, without a doubt will move forward in doing so. I want the objectiveness to see myself as others do. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

Can't wait to hear all the people who ask to see the photos. Cheers to you. Don't make them public, it's a personal thing, and no one else's business. Hopefully you'll inspire more people to open themselves up to themselves in similar ways (though maybe not through photography).

The photos are obviously not public! Isn't that what the whole essay was about? I enjoyed this article -- I can relate, and it was very charming.
