Erections

Mainly, don't beat yourself up and make a bigger deal than it is.

Was that a pun? I thought it was funny

Oh my gosh! I'm a card-carrying member of the "wimmin's movement" and I donate money to the anti "anything that moves" brigade (it's tax deductible, you know). I never got the memo about this change in policy on erections. Well, I'll call the home office this afternoon and get back on the mailing list. In the meantime, yes, erections are a bad thing. Well, I kinda used to like them but I can't disappoint the "wimmin's movement." And this does clear up the mystery of how I got pregnant. Thanks for that.

It's okay to disagree but you don't have to twist what he says on purpose. To put what he says more clearly, he was complaining about the subset of feminists who believe that man are inherently aggressors and would see a man with an erection in a social context as a threat.

There are many, many branches of feminism and most of them have mutually exclusive ideas. I don't think that someone classifying herself as a feminist gives me any indication of what that person believes.

Three word story is so long it must be a candidate for the Guinness Book of Records.

You should actually check that out lol

We have along way to go- about 500 pages to be precise- see http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?s=0ca45cc099bde0e5a76d9fe69b397d2f&t=419785&page=820

Sorry to digress from the topic.

Precisely. KC, I have seen first-hand such damage. Not going into details, here.

The most succinct and precise way to put it I saw is this:

I support feminists who defend the idea that women are people. I oppose feminists who defend the idea that men are not.

After all who'd read maps and rid the house of spiders for them?

Okay, that was very naughty, but hey, I'm doing my bit to keep this thread a-going.

[Kiwee]

I quite like spiders. Although crisp-fried in light batter is much tastier than roasted, IMO.

My friend who lives next door has a twin brother an during the school holidays we spent most of the day in the hot tub or sunbathing in the nude with her gaarden being private. One day when we were in the hot tub i asked my friend if her brother would join us and she said he wouldn't, when asked why she just said he was shy.
A bit later he was in the conservatory reading, so i got out and went over telling my friend i was going to ask him to join us.
When i asked him he said no so i pushed him to explain, for a while he went quiet then said he would love to join us but won't because he knew he would get an erection and be really embarrassed, i said it would be ok and that it would go again. I went explained to his sister who was still in teh hot tub and she so what if he did. I went back told him not to worry and join us. I told him to take his shorts off which he did and by the time he got to the hot tub he did have n erection and went red, we told him not too worry and it soon went.
So i thinks guys are more worried about having an erection than from people who witness it in the right place

Yep. That and it's sooooo obvious. Hence embarrassing. But great that you got him to join in with you both. If he can do this more often, gradually he'll get used to being nude, and suffer erections less often, which seems impossible with young males, but it does happen. After a while, Mr Floppy gets the message that being nude doesn't mean Mr Happy time. That's for other occasions.

[Tasha15]

Just an update, my friends brother has begun chilling with us more now in the hot tub or in the bedroom listening to music and he is getting more comfortable in the nude although he still does get the odd erection it soon goes again and yes he still gets embarrssed

[Okla-Homie]

Haha! Nice way of putting it Kiwee "Mr Floppy" and "Mr Happy Time"

...I think that just made me day haha!

i have got the problem that everytime i get naked i get an erection. This leads me to masturbate, and after that i loose that beautiful nude feeling, i think ill try what you guys have suggested thanks

You can kind of pre-empt it first by getting nude, dealing with the sexual side of it, then just staying nude for as long as you are able. Or... go nude, leave out the masturbation part, and over time, your body will get the message that nudity doesn't equal sex, EVERY time. Of course, I realise that being a teen male, it's somewhat difficult to separate the two; and that they seem to go together like breathing in and out, but it *can* be achieved. Takes practise, and quite a lot of it.

Have you tried distraction until you feel more comfortable without your clothes? Make a sandwich, read a book, those sorts of things, just to keep your mind busy. As is normal for teenage boys this is probably going to be nothing more than a phase and will go away eventually.

[Paulo]

Like previously mentioned, distraction will be the best option. If you find yourself plenty to do, such as tv, books, computer games, actually finding something to distract your mind, then sooner or later you'll gonna forget all about being nude. I'm sure in time you will be fine.

I just tried to register, finding out the username was already in use...attempted to log in with that username and found that somewhere in the past I had already registered and never posted...! I'll introduce myself properly in another topic...!

Anyway, all naturist forums/websites I've been on have this topic, and invariably causes more discussion than anything else!

I'll just put my two-cents in here as a 19 year old male.

I rarely have problems with erections on beaches, this is because I have:

a) only been to two different beaches
b) only been a total of four times in my life
c) either just been by myself on the entire beach or surrounded by gay males/older couples (I'm straight, anyone ever been to Brighton?)
d) I've never had a social nude experience

This is not to say I haven't had erections on beaches, but I know that these erections were not caused by sexual excitement since I do not get sexually excited by seeing a naked man (!). I have gotten erections purely because the simple feeling of being naked outdoors feels good, and I'm an adolescent! Throughout the day I get them and invariably these are at inopportune moment.

I'm afraid I haven't read all the pages of this topic so apologies if this has already been discussed but what I was wondering is:

If, somewhere in the future, I do end up talking to another naturist, in particular a young, attractive female one and get an erection what would be the likely reaction of said female? I'm not a pervert, exhibitionist, voyeur (despite my present status!) or anything. On the first few pages I remember someone mentioning their younger brother regularly gets erections in the presence of naked females. I really do not want to offend anyone, but I am fairly certain that I would get one in the presence of a naked female.

I don't know if this makes any difference but I do not masturbate or look at porn, I'm from a textile background and while I don't equate nudity with sex there is still something in the back of my mind which enjoys seeing naked people in general. I think the human body in all shapes and forms is a beautiful thing.

Could anyone shed some light on this? Again, sorry if this has already been discussed.
