Fortunately, I'm a widow. I'm exempt from having to be a virgin. :)

Unless you happen to like your partner gone from 5 am to late at night,
worried constantly about their weight, etc. Male models seem to have it
somewhat easier as it seems to be more often a second career.
As a point: a woman I know is currently having health problems that would
require surgery. She's a model, specifically a lingerie model, and the
surgery is abdominal. She's worried that the surgery would end her career,
but if she didn't have it, it may end her life. How's that for choices?
I can't imagine having a job like that, I really can't.
