I am a first time poster/new user on this board. Please forgive my lengthy post (no pun intended), but I wanted to weigh in on this topic because it's been a significant one for me in the last year. For some time I've wanted to try social nudism. I like being naked at home, but I don't much get the chance because I come from a conservative religious family. I don't say that in a condescending way - I myself share my family's faith. I just happen to think nudism is compatible with it. I knew I wanted to be able to be naked outside and definitely to skinny-dip. Swimming with clothes on is the silliest thing ever. So I finally convinced myself to go to a resort a couple hours' drive from my school. I would have preferred a beach but I'm way too far away from any that I could find and I only had time for a day trip without anyone getting suspicious and asking me where I went. I knew I wouldn't be too embarrassed to it, or that I'd get over it. But like most young males (I'm 22), there was that one persistent issue. What am I going to do with my erections? I mean, I get them all the time under my clothes for no real reason - riding in the car, eating lunch, lounging around reading - whatever. And when I'm naked at home, sometimes I get one just because I'm naked! So it wasn't a question of being turned on by other bodies. I was just hoping that either a) the nervousness of being nude in public would deter me as so many nudist FAQs suggest, or b) it wouldn't happen often and I could cover it up and not get thrown out. Well I quickly discovered that the problem was not going to let up. I actually didn't get totally hard very much, but I was almost constantly in an in-between state. That was kind of nice for my vanity because it made my package look bigger, but it didn't help my nervousness. Laying out in the sun was almost impossible. Whenever I would lie down I would feel as if I was showing off to people, and would start to grow, and then I'd have to sit up and cover with the book I had brought along. Swimming at least was still good, but the pool was a little crowded. Basically, I couldn't ever relax because I was afraid if I did I would get an erection and before I knew it someone would complain. What kind of a getaway is that? That's not the "shed your clothes, shed your cares" nudism that is always being talked about. That's crap. So I went away kind of sad, feeling like nudism as it had been presented to me was a lie, a fatally flawed ideal suited only for old people who couldn't get a boner to save their lives. I mean, nudists are predominately older - maybe this is why. The good news is, I decided to give nude recreation one more chance. I went to a different resort, this time on a weekday. It was less crowded and more friendly - people actually talked to me! I didn't feel like I was being watched all the time, waiting for a mistake to be made. I became more confident as and as a result of that confidence I didn't experience the same trouble as before. I went through almost the entire day flaccid as you please. Then I had a conversation with one of the older members of the group. We talked about a variety of things, but he also mentioned that they were an open-minded group and that if someone got an erection no one would really mind. He said if there were children around then yeah, go ahead and do the roll over/jump in the pool routine, but normally when it's just the adults no one would care. He said some of them even like to see it because it reminds them of their younger days, the way they used to be. Now that is the kind of thing I can support - that kind of nudism I can live with. I didn't end up getting hard (well, once - in the hot tub, but it mostly went away before I got out) but it was nice knowing I didn't have to worry about it. I even lay out for a while and worked on my all-over tan. I had a really good time. I sympathize with the plight of nudists who are trying to preserve their right to beaches and clubs, trying to go the extra mile to make sure nudity and sex can be separated. I really do understand. Yet I am strongly convinced that making erections taboo is self-defeating. I'm not saying encourage them, I'm just saying a little understanding goes a long way. If people can't feel comfortable and confident, they will probably reject social nudity. Thank you for listening.
If it weren't for an erection most of us wouldn't be here. Many men are worried about not getting a sufficiently monstrous erection, but then they worry about getting one inappropriately. Seems it all a hell of a lot of worry over a small thing (Oh my yes. Pun intended!!)
yes ive been to many nudist beachs and camps.. Ignore your erection and everyone else will.. ? Your much better off getting up and moving around, become the scene and not just absorbe the eye candy.. you should slowly lose it as your mind becomes atune to the place. Its not soppose to be sexual. Its soppose to be natural. Eventually youll go there and never get a erection at all...
Erections are not a big deal. I have visited nude beaches with my boyfriend and his sister and sometimes he would get erect but no one was embarrassed .
We're at a nudist community now (in Asia) and many of the younger guys and men walk around with erections a lot of the time, and they don't seem to be embarrassed, and they shouldn't be! The human body is beautiful, so why shouldn't erections be beautiful?!?! I certainly think they are!
I'm 15 and I know if I went to a nudie beach I would have a huge hard on all the time. One of my friends told me that he knew someone who went to a beach and they got a piece of paper with like all the rules and stuff. And one of the rules said if you get a bad hard on its best to go somewhere private and jack off to make it better. Then you can go back to the beach.
You don't see that many nude teens at nudist functions. Even kids raised in nudist families get modest in their teen years. Just one of the teen angst things that seem to happen.
Gee I don't think it's that big a deal myself. I've been social nudist situations where I've had one and been complimented by the ladies. It's not so much about arousal for me... it's just enjoying the situation. Plus I'm a pretty body free person in that respect.
I don't see the big deal, it's been stated already, but it's natural for guys. they shouldn't feel ashamed or that it's inappropriate. I've been going to nude beaches and camp sites since I was 12 with my family, and erections have never bothered me. funny story! when I was 14, I was taking a walk through the nature trails near our camp and I passed a boy about my age, I said hi to him politely, and he stuttered out a hello back to me. all the while he was getting a hard-on. I could tell he was very embarrassed. it didn't help any when I giggled either! he started blushing and I felt bad for embarrassing him further so i said sorry and that it was no big deal. I found out later that it was his first trip to a nudist camp. we became good friends after that.
lol i cant go to a nudist beach, i'm only just getting into nudism i wud just have a constant boner! haha think its cute
it would be cool if we could hang out on the same beach one day! only prudes think erections are obscene, i don't mind it at all
If I went to a beach like that I would eventually pass out.... I can't take that much skin in one day! Plus I'd probably have to go home after I raised my mast.
I came here to ask this question. Now I'm full of answers right away. Thanks! I have come to the conclusion that I should never go there! My erection would not be an accident at all. In fact I would brobably be hard on the drive over. I think Men should be respectful of what the nude beach is supposed to be for. If You have a gutter mind (like Mine) You don't belong there! Look what happened to the young girls building a sand castle! They're personal space violated with an old boner. That guy should of been stomped and thrown out -or worse! If You know in Your heart Your a good Man than go for sure. If You get a "natural" erection don't hide it. But keep it away from kids, and people you don't know that may not want in their personal space. One yank on it and get stomped and dragged away -that's My opinion :toetap05:
Erections depend on what's going on at the beach. A couple years ago at Haulover it was a crowded hot spring (end of April) day. Tons of eye candy. Beautiful women. I was never more than 1/3 hard all day...it just doesn't seem to happen. It is a treat to see a couple there nude, with the girl oiling the guy, grabbing a dick and oiling it for about 15 - 20 seconds. I guess that makes it appear the guy isn't jacking off. It always looks like the girl is doing the honors, though. There were 2 girls I swear were late high school or just barely (no pun intended) out of high school. Both cute and fit. They were both wearing one piece suits, (different colors) high on the legs and hips and butt, and on the front a wide mesh see through section from the top, tapering down to just above the sweet area. Mesh was wide at the top, not too far from the nips. Much later in the day I was walking North to my hotel and found them in a still crowded area (me nude) taking pics of each other, standing, and teasingly pulling their suits down slowly to their knees while snapping pics. Their pussies were trimmed but not bald like some of the girls at the beach. Seeing them sexy all day then sliding their suits down gave me a rush to the groin; I stopped about 20 - 30 feet away, watched them for a while....they were doing all the cutesy stuff like wiggling around, pulling their suits down, looking over their shoulder at the camera the other was taking pics with...this went on for about 10 minutes. That was the day I got my nickname. They were doing this to be cute, to tease each other and those watching. I stepped a few feet back and sat down to watch waiting for my hardon to subside. While standing I was pointing slightly above horizontal. They didn't care, it might have been why they were doing it. I wasn't the only one getting hard, either. I still fire a load once in a while thinking about that. Haulover has the best eye candy in North America. 8=====================D ~
Haulover also has a bunch of "Beach Ambassadors," volunteers with South Florida Free Beaches, the nudist club that fought for years to establish a legal, county tolerated clothing optional beach. 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.
When I lived in my house in washington, presently being rented out, there was a n acceptance of nudity among a group of friends. U din't believe there was a random erection though. It's true once your comfortable with it, it is not a big deal.....well less more than others...j/k It's a natural thing, most of us know what the opposite sex looks like. If not learna nd appreciate it
the only erect guys ive ever seen at nude beaches are the ones hiding up in the dunes with binoculars... i guess they must be bird watching? "one-handed bird-watching"? thats not to say i would have a problem with seeing a guy on a beach who was just a regular beach-goer and happened to have got hard... its not offensive to me. im not one of these girls who says "oh i love to see it!" but its not something i would mind or take offense at. but ive never actually seen it happen and ive certainly never seen guys wandering about all over the beach sporting raging boners... it seems to me that guys who go there (and arent there just to perv on women or kids) are either used to the nudity or get used to it and relax pretty quickly.
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.
