It depends. In art, there has been a long history of depicting the male nude. For example, in ancient Greek and Roman art, male nudes were common to show athleticism and physical perfection.

To prepare for a nude male life drawing class, start by assembling your art tools. Pencils in different grades, charcoal if you prefer, and a drawing board are essential. Then, think about your mindset. You need to approach the class with respect for the model and the art form. You could do some quick sketches of the male figure from imagination or from photos (keeping in mind that the live model will be different). Also, it's a good idea to arrive a bit early to set up your workspace and get in the right frame of mind for the class.
