Agreed. I have noticed that many folks that consider themselves true "nudists" always say they have never seen one guy ever with an erection in their life it's only about being naked etc. I once commented on a nudist's pic on Reddit and one of the guys had a massive erection in the picture so I made a funny comment about it and I was quickly shamed and banned by the moderators. Seems to be a common theme with those folks... Anyways, the only nude beach I have personally been to is Haulover. So I can only speak to that experience, and I would say it is NOT a family friendly beach. There is a lot of sexual tension there, but also a lot of drugs, creepers and young people partying. I have seen erections there but if someone is laying or sitting down and I am staring at the state of their penis then maybe I am the one with the issue. It has happened to me. I turned over on my side and just minded my own business (although the older couple behind me commented that they were "enjoying the scenery") LOL
I have been to many nudist resorts, and on occasion I would get semi hard, not a full blown erection but when that happened I would turn over or go for a swim. I wouldn’t comment if I saw one though, sometimes things just happen but it was more common on the younger ones.
Were you in the Gay section of the beach? The north end close to the lifeguard station is where the gays hang out. If so, that might explain it. In 18 years of going to nude beaches, including Haulover, I haven't seen that behavior.
I wasn't aware the nude section of Haulover extended to a 2nd and 3rd lifeguard tower. I thought it only went about 300 to 500 yards South of the pink tower (gay section). And I remember the food trucks being about 100 yards or so South of the pink lifeguard tower. We were there for a week in 2018, so things may have changed by now.
erections are natural. i am ok if a guy gets an erection and walks around on the beach or lays on his towel or whatever he wants to do. i have been hard on a beach many times. usually sprint to the water, though.
I have noticed that in the section of the lido that used to be near me, that the section where most gay and couples hung out there was always nudity usually guys with erections and a lot of oral masturbation and intercourse. I have also noticed when I have been to nudist beaches in Europe especially Germany that there seems to be much more sexual activity and erections springing up than when I went there as a kid, not sure about the UK as I haven't been to many here for a while. Though I have noticed that this behaviour seems to extend to the resorts as well and a lot of middle aged and older nudists seem to think it's ok to do anything they want. I don't care myself as me and my partner are really open about nudity and sex and our kids are adults, but I can see some people not being happy
It would be interesting to hear if more women thought the same was EmberX on this or would they be offended. My partners have always enjoyed seeing guys when they get erections while checking them out as long as they are not being creepy about it. As she says more the natural progression when watching us joking around or even while talking to us we have had guys start to grow. Maybe a little intentional teasing of the person next to us at times.
There were quite a few creepers that I encountered at Haulover... Unfortunately. Anyone who says they have not witnessed anything like that I think is just oblivious. In my opinion it was worse at the beginning of the beach (straight section?). There was a guy that looked like he had leather skin just walking around playing with himself occasionally on display. Another guy was masturbating openly right under the lifeguard tower and he started to kind of lock eyes with me. That's when I moved way down the beach and sat near a friendly older woman. Even there when I dozed off I got a partial erection and I looked ahead of me there was an older guy maybe 70 right next to his wife (can't make this up) eating some sort of cheese puffs and playing with his flaccid member. He was looking at me and his wife was either oblivious or ignored it. I just kept thinking about all the cheese residue he was going to get on his cock. I think it the beach would be a great place to meet people but I have no clue why they can't just wait until they are off the crowded beach to play with themselves. For me personally it is enough of a rush to be naked in front of everyone. Don't want to risk being taken off in handcuffs... Although I think it would be unlikely.
