Mr. D.’s Male Boudoir Testimonial | Suddenly Single

We at Holly Douglas & Co. believe that EVERYONE should experience a boudoir photoshoot at least once in their lifetime! We love empowering people and boosting their self-confidence through the art of boudoir photography! Of course, people expect to hear that from us, the boudoir photographers, because we do this for a living. A boudoir experience testimonial written by a past client who has actually had a boudoir session, on the other hand, is much more convincing! For this reason, Holly Douglas & Co. proudly features a new Boudoir Testimonial each week on our blog. We are especially happy to be able to share with you a male boudoir testimonial this week!

This week’s boudoir experience testimonial comes from the handsome Mr. D., who was photographed at our luxury boudoir studio in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, for a male boudoir session!

How did you hear about Holly Douglas Boudoir? 

Internet.

Why did you choose Holly Douglas Boudoir for your male boudoir session? 

Appearance of experience, and skill. Your gender.

What made you decided to take the leap of faith and do a male boudoir session? 

Need. I am suddenly single after 15 years.

Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about? 

No.

Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves? 

No. It did not change for me.

What was your favorite part of the experience and why? 

There were moments where I felt like I was in the ‘right’ place. I like attention, especially from women, I prefer the company of women, as I believe men are idiots. So, when Holly and Leslie were going through my photos and occasionally remarking, while Tabitha was giving me a massage, I felt good.

How did you feel during your session? 

I didn’t enjoy it, but it wasn’t because of the process or who was shooting. It had way more to do with the honest fact that I have zero confidence. No one has complimented my appearance, or been attracted to me, or flirted with me for years…The worst time of my life were the years 2019-2022. The divorce news is 35 days old … stages of grief are fresh.. I feel old, and unattractive. Not sure how the photos will make me feel.

Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time. 

I was pleased, and some of them were simply exceptional photographs. I don’t see what others might see, it is frustrating. I recall you capturing ‘me’. So many of the photos made me think, ‘That guy seems real.’ It also seemed as though you and Leslie were ‘affected’ by the photos. Your reactions were profound.

How has your relationship with your body changed since your session? 

No change. I want to touch another person, but that has been the case for multiple years, longer than I have ever gone in my life. Part of the divorce is sweet relief, and hope for intimacy.

What would you say to people who say they can’t do a boudoir session because they are too shy, nervous, etc? 

Well, I am not shy or nervous. I don’t understand why you would not want to ‘see’ yourself. Even if you feel old, and unattractive.

Thank you for sharing this male boudoir experience testimonial, Mr. D.!

It doesn’t matter if you identify as male, female, or non-binary, you are totally deserving of this empowering experience!
