To get started, could you briefly introduce yourself? Who is Frank Christians behind the scenes?

My name is Frank Christians and I’m a German-Danish model from the era when models really had to look like models. I’ve tried to keep that spirit alive in both my lifestyle and bodycare routine. These days, I’ve fortunately left most of my old competitors far behind. My star sign is Scorpio.

Growing up, did you ever see yourself becoming a model, or did you have other plans?

Actually,  I really wanted to study medicine and become a doctor. But at the time, I was already receiving so many modeling offers that I decided not to pursue it, since the medical studies would require full-time attendance.  Instead,  I studied economics, which allowed me to travel and continue modeling.

Do you remember your very first modeling job? What was it like stepping into the industry?

So, my first job was an underwear fashion show. It was a delicate start for me in the industry, but as a former professional swimmer,  I had already competed in the German first league.  I never had any problems with wearing bathers or sexy underwear.  I would train at the pool five times a week from the age of twelve to nineteen, so I was used to it.

When was the first time you were lensed in the nude, and who had the honor of photographing you?

That came later. I started modeling at eighteen, but my first nude shoot didn’t happen until I was around forty-five.

Nudity can feel intimate, even vulnerable. What does it mean to you personally?

I think that nudity reveals the purest version of yourself,  just as you came into this world. Without our clothes, there’s nothing to distract from our appearance.  It’s simply a window into your true self and your soul.

What’s your favorite part of your body?

I would probably have to say my calves. I never train them. They’re completely inherited, but they’re naturally muscular.

When do you feel your most desirable, and how does that translate into everyday life?

I feel most desirable in simple clothes, like jeans and a fitted t-shirt. I try to dress like that whenever the weather allows.

What would you say is your most alluring quality, and do others notice it the way you do?

My intensity, endurance, and deep enjoyment of life. I guess being a Scorpio always shows through.

Would you consider yourself playful in the bedroom? And what excites you or sparks your curiosity?

FRANK CHRISTIANS: In the bedroom, boredom is the worst. I definitely stay curious.

Biggest turn-on?

A super-sensitive kiss.
