How would you feel if your girlfriend does nude modelling?

Hi

How would you feel if yourgirlfriend does nude modelling.Not going to lie...I'm not comfortable about it for my partner to nude naked in front of others.She sent me the pictures of the paintings are done about her.Even though still not happy and very uncomfortable about it, I told her is her choice of job. Some are acceptable nudes, but some others I find them too much...and make me quite uncomfortable.She told me to paint her too, as it's sexy. But honestly the more time passes the less comfortable I am and less attracted to her I am.I'm mainly uncomfortable with some of the artists who paint her regularly and they don't paint her full body, they paint her faceless and only focus on the breast, vagina and clitoris.Is it normal for an artist who paints only a faceless model with only vagina and breast?

Update:

Also those artists asked her " what are the favourite parts of your body?" And also asked her "guess which is my favourites parts of your body?"

Update 2:

Honestly I think are crossing the line...

Update 3:

I done life drawing as an artist few times.

One of them my girlfriend was one of the model and she wasn't with me at that time.

She told me she felt nervous because I was there drawing her and I also was nervous because it was her mainly.

    I wouldn't have her as my girlfriend.

    I had to take college art as a prerequisite for another class.  It was actually one of the better deals of college and I receive compliments on my quick mechanical drawings to this day.  Much to my surprise we had nude female models. It was interesting how the males of the class focused in on private parts, I was a form and hands guy. 

    I ran into close association with one model for a common event outside of college and she (of course) treated me weird. I wanted to speak to her and tell her to regard me just as a fellow student in a different class, never did, never saw her again.  

    Most of the models left the area upon class break, one didn't and took break with the students. I liked her more than the others but never interacted with her different than the other female students in the class.  

    How would I act if it were my girlfriend?  I would support her decision.  And perhaps tell her to take break with the students if she were comfortable with it?

    They are using her just like a paid hooker.  They get off on messing with her.  You can start by going to the County Attorney and letting them know.  They will probably look into it and could file criminal charges.  Maybe your girl friend knows she is being used and likes it.

    Honestly and obviously you and her relationship is important, so you might bring up these matters again, but it’s her job, and your feelings are also as important. If it bothers you and she doesn’t change and continues/loves her job, maybe you might want to find a classy woman who doesn’t show her body to others let alone have others draw her nude.

    This is something you need to decide and have a talk before anything else.

    I never experienced this as I’m not in a relationship to know, but both parties need understanding of each other’s feelings (a lot of ancient writings talk about this, and there are advice found in books or elsewhere about this).

    100% fine by me.  If she's satisfied, nothing else matters.  It's her life, isn't it?  I don't have any ownership deed for her, do I?

    The pay is excellent,  the work isn't strenuous and there's a teacher there in the life modeling class. 

    It's not your life.  It's hers. If you can't stop your hangups then find a different girlfriend.  She's an adult.

    Have you ever done a life drawing class?  To get an insight - try one.  There maybe those that go because of the perv aspect but they’ll be obvious and probably not good artists.  Hopefully the person hosting the class has your friends safety as priority.  It is usually a safe space for all those concerned.  And don’t forget drawing and painting the human form is a time honoured practice in art.

    Sounds like you might have a girlfriend that is destined to appear in one of those gross x-rated pornographic movies.

    I'd be uncomfortable, too.
