Brent . . . I have a (strong) recommendation for you:

Do not shoot nudes.  Do not shoot implied nudes.  Do not shoot anything even a little bit suggestive of nudity until you have at least 15 photography sessions with models done successfully.  Just don't.

Bob was on to something.  Between lack of experience, an apparent difficulty in relating to women, and your considerable interest in nudity, you are heading down a path that leads to problems.  Really.  Get some experience with models - a fair amount of it - before you even consider doing anything involving naked girls.

I agree.  Strongly.

Hire an experienced, non-nude model, for starters, and then explain to them that you want to go through your standard shoot-booking routine, and start there.  Someone with experience will be able to help you figure out where you're going wrong with your communication before, during and after a shoot.  They will also give you less to worry about when it comes to posing and all that, and can tell you if you cross any lines.

thats why I like this site, you guys give great advice.  I cant say I wont try reveiling shots if the right opertunity comes my way  but I can say that I wont be making it a priority for now. its more important to get the basics of working with a model and getting good shots.
thank you.
