Let me reitterate again: I highly disapprove of her doing nude modelling, but I know I can't stop her from doing it. I have nothing against art like that, and for me it's alright for anyone else to do nude modelling. Just for some reason I hate thinking about having other people seeing her nude.
In retrospect, perhaps asking this in the sexual forums was wrong. I don't think there's too much of a sexual subtleness to this, as it is that she's doing something that I really don't like, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I think any man can tell you
why you feel this way. You are jealous.
Before you deny this, think about some of the synonyms of jealousy: covetousness, protectiveness, resentment, suspicion, distrust. You covet your SO, and desire to protect her, but in this you are so extreme that you create a sense of suspicion and distrust. Do you not think she can take care of herself? Why must you be the only one who sees her unclothed?
Webster defines being jealous thusly:
Main Entry: jeal·ous
Pronunciation: 'je-l&s
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English jelous, from Old French, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin zelosus, from Late Latin zelus zeal -- more at ZEAL
1 a : intolerant of rivalry or unfaithfulness b : disposed to suspect rivalry or unfaithfulness
2 : hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage
3 : vigilant in guarding a possession [new colonies were jealous of their new independence -- Scott Buchanan]
- jeal·ous·ly adverb
- jeal·ous·ness noun
You are being vigilant in guarding the woman you feel could possibly be led astray.
