Beach erections

Show a prolonged, obvious hard-on and they will report you to the lifeguard who will make you leave the beach. One warning and you leave or the Miami-Dade Police remove you with a court appearance date to attend.

Just FYI.

Adhering to the wishes of the uninitiated seems counterproductive to me. Almost everybody who weighs in on the "unacceptable" side of this debate is reacting on fear and ignorance. Once a person actually visits a nude beach and realizes the true situation, then this fear is eradicated and life can go on.

Frankly, I have been in more situations than I realized at the time where not only were erections accepted, there were subtle encouragements! This tells me that the majority of people like a little spice in their lives (who knew?), while the few who decry it are missing out. Our opponents will find ANYTHING to use against us, if not erections then something else. So I'm not living my life inside the confines of their tiny box hoping they please, oh please, won't smite me.

Nobody gets hurt, so why the needless fuss? Just don't act like an ass and you should be fine.

I'd think that avoiding getting arrested is far from counter-productive, unless you really want to be a nudist martyr.

I'd also say that removing your clothes doesn't exempt you from simple tact and consideration towards others. For instance: my local nude beach has always suffered from being male-dominated, and one reason for this has been that any lone woman would find herself surrounded by half a dozen creeps, some displaying hard-ons and others openly masturbating. Generally the woman would quickly leave and not come back. I don't think it's helpful to say she was just displaying "fear and ignorance".

Luckily these guys seem to have gone away or learned some manners, but there's still some way to go before the beach is generally perceived as female-friendly.

I refer the right honorable gentleman to the final sentence in my post.

I remember when I was a teenager going to the nude beach with my BF and
his sister for the 1st time and he developed a raging hard-on all day walking nude with many people on the beach. Even though at first it was embarrassing for us all, in the end we ignored it and now when we go to the beach, if it happens, no big deal!

This is kinda funny because our clothing optional beach is in a major metropolitan area and on one end it is almost entirely male - GAY MALE!

Women don't get hassled there because the regulars aren't interested and the young straight guys are hesitant to come around, 'cause they will get the same treatment they would give women.

One day I saw this gorgeous woman - a real model type come to that section of beach and put her towel down to sunbathe. I went over and asked her and she confirmed that it was her strategy to avoid all the nuisance juvenile straight males - and apparently it worked.

YEP!

Florida Statute 800.03 says we may not expose or exhibit our sexual organs "in a vulgar or indecent manner" but allows us to expose our sexual organs "in a place provided or set apart for that purpose," such as our designated clothing-optional beach.

Now you can argue the interpretation of "vulgar or indecent" but not to the arresting cop. For that you need to tell it to the judge.

THANK GOD we have the government to keep us decent!

Without them people might end up...(dare I say it)...screwing. And who really wants to do THAT??
