Yes, he’s in his late twenties. Well, if it’s not necessarily sinful, then where does the line get drawn?Modeling isn’t necessarily sinful or immodest.
Children model for cereal ads, grannies model for retirement ads.
Athletes model for fitness ads. And underwear needs to be sold, too.
I imagine your friend is adult enough and knows himself enough that he would not take an assignment against his beliefs, or he would not do anything that made him feel uncomfortable?
Only he can really answer that. He needs to examine his conscience and ask whether he is driven by pride and narcissism or whether he’s doing this in order to best use what God has given him. He needs to ask whether this profession will lead him to places he wants to go and shape him into the type of person God calls him to be.Yes, he’s in his late twenties.

Mmm, these days, ad agencies aren’t likely to pressure their models into modeling something that the aren’t comfortable doing or which runs against their conscience, ie., strong-arming you into modeling underwear when you signed up to do ads for kitchen appliances. If there is an executive pressuring someone, then they’re crossing the line and setting themselves up for a harassment claim. That and they’re more likely to ask certain “types” of models to do certain ads, as you put it.Modeling isn’t necessarily sinful or immodest.

Leave it alone. It’s not a bad profession, and it’s his concern.Someone I know is applying to become a model. He used to be obese and put in the hard work to lose weight. I am worried that his immodest profession may be sinful. See, he wants to do fitness/underwear modelling. He says it’s to reward his hard work but what if people are tempted into sin if they see the photos? Should I try to talk him out of it or leave it alone?

Agree with the “leave it alone” advice. I’m not sure where you see the “temptation.” Tempted to get into a fitness program? Buy new underwear?Someone I know is applying to become a model.

The line gets drawn when say, a billboard shows a young lady, sandwiched between two attractive men, suggesting sexual sin. Though it’s not guaranteed, he is likely to find himself in situations where sexually suggestive modeling assignments will be offered to him.Yes, he’s in his late twenties.
