Is Life Drawing Cheating?, Is participating in a life drawing class cheating? Options

So I have a problem, I've been with my boyfriend for nearly a year now and though we love eachother very much we can never agree on a thing and we have such different morals.

I am studying Photography and as a part of my course I have to undertake a life drawing class. Now surprise surprise, my boyfriend's not too happy.. infact it's worse then that.. he's not happy at all. He considers the fact that I've seen someone else naked is cheating. However I don't agree in the circumstances.. it is an appreciation for the human body of course and it's in a class of like 40 people and there's no feeling's involved whatsoever.. so I'm having a hard time trying to make him see things the way I do.

So what do you think.. Is participating in a life drawing class cheating?

Is it really a morality issue? Or does it really have to deal with his insecurities? That's the first thing I thought of when I read your posts.

Of course taking a life drawing class is not cheating. Like Steven said, no emotional attachment, no physical attachment, etc. Though, I guess I can see why your boyfriend may be uncomfortable with it. Keep reassuring him that you are in that class because of your interest in art, and nothing else. Honestly, I think he's just being extremely stubborn. :T Perhaps you have to show him proof that it's only in your interests? Like, showing him an art piece that you did, showing it's importance. I dunno. Just some way to prove that this is not something you "did" to him, but just a form of art that you happen to take a course on.
