I have always been very nervous about being nude with other people, men because we all compare and women because of the fear of an uncalled for e******n. Several months ago I decided to have a sack and crack wax, something I have been contemplating for nearly 20 years but didn't do anything about because there was no Salons nearby. My first experience went absolutely fine with absolutely no hint of a reaction, I was slightly more nervous the second time but again no reaction apart from a couple of drops of clear liquid. I want to build on this and spend time in a nudist/naturist environment but worry that by spending longer in more natural surroundings it could be more likely to appear, what are good tricks to keep this at bay, I remember hearing years ago pressing your thumb and forefinger together but is a good way?
I wouldn't worry about it too much. With the exception of some teenage boys, erections at nudist events aren't as common as you might think, especially in a family environment. If it does happen, as long as you aren't running around flaunting it people's faces, no one is going to mind. If you are lying down you can always just turn over to hide it. If you are sitting down, a strategically placed book or newspaper can hide your embarrassment. It's a bit more difficult to hide if you are standing, but even then, holding a towel in front of you gives you some cover. I always say to new nudists, go to a busy nudist beach first where you are just one of hundreds of naked people, and most people will barely notice you are there. After a few visits, nudism will soon seem completely natural to you. Good luck!
In a nudist environment it is good to have a towel. The main reason is to sit on a towel for hygiene (no leaving bodily fluids) but the same towel can hide your erection. Once you are around people nude it will be less of a problem.
Except for shitting and taking a bath, every time I get naked, it doesn't even matter if I'm in front of other people, I get an erection.. I guess my brain thinks: "no clothes?! mmm... time for some naughty stuff!"
Activating larger muscles will direct more blood flow away from the "excited area", especially if they're nearby muscles. So, tightening your thigh and/or glute muscles will help. Learning to meditate will give you more control over your excitement (and improve your life in general). Personally, I like non nudist environments with nude activities. Examples of this are spiritual festivals. There, you can get to know people and get comfortable with them first and then join them by the lake/beach (if there is one), in the sauna or in some workshop that involves nudity, e.g. body painting or sweat lodge. Being with people I've "tuned in to" makes me relaxed and solves the erection issue. Maybe it works for you too!
Well, males and females respectively used to take mutual showers after taking part in sports events at school, etc. I think that is a way of not being shy when there are other nude people around. I'm perfectly at ease with this.
Well, this might not be the right place to post this but I hope someone will find it interesting! Yesterday morning after settling into our AirBnB the evening before, I realized that I failed to bring along the suitcase with all my clothes save for what I was wearing. Not too much of a problem but my jeans certainly were in desperate need of a washing. My wife had set up a temporary “office’” in a spare bedroom for a ZOOM meeting so I figured that it would be a perfect time to wash the only clothes I had and just relax while they washed and my wife was busy. So after placing a towel on the recliner in the living room I settled in naked while the washer was busy on the ‘’fast wash’’ cycle with all my clothes. About ten minutes later there was a “knock” on the front door! My wife had locked the full glass storm door but left the front door wide open. With no where to hide I had no choice but to take my way too small towel and answer the door. Holding it discretely in front of me I cautiously came around the hallway corner and approached the front door to find a couple standing there. I quickly apologized and they said they were the owners and had brought some welcoming gifts. I invited them in and they accepted. Once inside I explained my predicament and they both said not to worry about it. I offered some coffee and we moved into the kitchen but that also meant that I would have to go without my towel to get everything. So now I’m completely naked with a couple that I hadn’t met before and we are all chatting as if it is an everyday occurrence. About a half hour later my wife emerges from her meeting and is very surprised to find me entertaining guests. By now my clothes are in the dryer and our hosts are getting ready to leave. Spending over an hour naked with strangers was certainly an interesting way to start a vacation.
I met a guy recently who turns out is a nudist. He asked me if I was OK with him being naked when I came to visit him. I figured that was his choice since it is his home, but I did appreciate the ask, and as I understand it, that is the polite thing to do when you are a nudist. After a while, he asked me to give it a try - I explained I am not all that comfortable with my naked body, but he encouraged me to try so I did. I've been there to visit a couple of times, and it gets easier - but still, it is just the two of us... The whole concept of sitting around naked on someone's furniture with a towel under my butt just seems so out of place and unusual. It seems to me it is the entire undoing of years of modesty, covering up, and literally being covered with something since a few minutes after I was born. And so, he has invited me to come to a naked men's New Years Eve party. I have nervously agreed to go. I am telling myself that this is a good thing, that it will help me overcome my inhibitions and maybe even my dislike of my own body. I have struggled with confidence in my body since my teen years - being a bulky farm boy with extra weight - and I immediately compared myself with the young jocks with the bounding dicks, as they played their naked locker room games... after I got married and had a family, I gained a lot of weight - over 10 years ago, I had gastric bypass surgery. I've lost and been able to maintain a loss of 170 pounds, I came out of the closet and confessed to my family that I am gay-leaning bisexual. While I feel like I look pretty good with clothes on, I am still not happy with my naked body - from the extra skin to the head-trip of always feeling fat. So, here I go on my latest adventure - attending a naked party on New Years Eve. Really need some encouragement on this. Trying to not be too weird or needy and just go with it.
Well, you said the most important thing, that you are on your latest adventure. If it's with true naturists, you should be fine. I love going to naturist resorts, because you can end up in situations where you just get past all that social conditioning and be open with other people. When you are not covered with clothes, you can sometimes be more open about your inner life, also. In the worst case if you don't feel comfortable in the party situation, you would simply have to get dressed and go home. Some people are too afraid to take risks and go on an adventure. If this guy is a nice person, chances are the party will be a good opportunity to meet a few other nice people.
Ah but it feels so good doesnt it buddy?? One time I was naked in my backyard and 2 friends came over and saw me naked... They laughed but after a few mins they joined me and we all went swimming and had fun in the nude!!
I am still trying to get used to the interacting and socializing part. I can be nude at a nude beach, no erections. Same at a resort, been to a few. But I don't socialize much. I see people standing together and talking sometimes with nothing on and they act like its totally normal. I am not there yet. But I can strip down and walk around and wave and say hello and feel fine. I recommend giving it a try to anyone who hasn't gotten around to it yet.
