A while ago, a group of Italian doctors and nurses stripped down to their skivvies for a calendar in order to raise funds for, and generate public awareness of, the need for cancer research.
No Brad Pitts or George Clooney types. Just a lot of overly tight tighty whities and expanded bellies drooping precariously over boxer short elastic waists. The best picture from the article (Cancer Research in Boxers: Italian Doctors Strip to Reveal Funding Shortfalls - SPIEGEL ONLINE) is the two doctors studiously examining an MRI, while clad in their unmentionables. The nurses appear in the pictorials as well but their faces are not shown - just their backs as they sit in their bras and panties.
So the question is: Would you have appeared in the calendar for such a worthy cause? I'm sure our patients subscribe to the old adage," Turnabout is fair play."
I would do it as long as everything my swimsuit covers is covered up. I'm comfortable with my body and this is for a good cause. I would never do anything xxx rated but it seems these photos were done in good taste.

No, I would not pose. Would you? Forgive me as well if I missed an earlier response from you, if there is one. After a thread reaches 4 or 5 pages, it's a chore to keep track.

If I wanted to HELP the charity, no. If I wanted to just be nakey for ***** and giggles then YES.

Yes, back to camera. But the doctors get the full view.
Like doctors don't see bodies all day long, anyway? I can promise you that them seeing me would be no thrill (not even a cheap one) for either me or the doctors !

Undeniably a valid point, however, doctors typically see people with whom they have no social or "work" relationship beyond an annual physical. You'd have to face the doctors everyday afterward. A whole different dynamic in play. However, I hasten to add, if the doctor participated (as they did in the article), everyone's in the same boat, so-to-speak. Mutual awkwardness effectively negates any gloating!
Either way, I find the whole scenario fascinating from a purely psychological perspective.
