Wow... Three pages of replies... Sounds like people are more passionate about erections than I thought. ;)

Belisha I very much support what you are saying. Spont, just because you've (supposedly) not ever had a spontaneous erection not caused by sexual stimuli does not mean that it can't happen to others. What you posted smacks of looking down your nose at anyone that doesn't have your supposed control. Is that what you intended?
Erections are not a sign of aggression, they aren't harmful and kids could care less if they were to see one. What is really any different about the arguement that nudity hurts kids vs seeing erections hurts kids?
I'm really astounded at many of the prudish relies I've found on this website in many of the threads, not just this one. I'm sorry but I can't stand politically correct nudists. I am lots more comfortable with thinking for myself and not accepting all the nudist philosophy thrown at me at face value. Good thing because I've found that a lot of it just isn't true in the real world.

Good answer, Cyndiann. It started me thinking. I think that I get more embarrassed if I get an erection in public when clothed than I would be if at a nude beach naked. If I see a partial erection on other men in a nude environment, I accept it as natural. Same if I get one myself. However, in the city, it is embarassing because my penis is not supposed to be seen, erect or not. In the city, sexual connotations are assumed. It does not have to be the same in a nudist environment.

There are 2 things - male arousal and erection.
An erection is natural that comes without warning. It not necessary that when one is erect, he is aroused. It may be due to full bladders or movemnt of involuntary muscles.This is always not sexual.
Where as arousal is linked to erection along with building of juices from the testes. This is sexual in nature. One should go in private and do away with his s*e*ms, i guess..

Arousal - state of mind (what may cause, or rarely not- to erection).
Erection - state of body (what may lead to arousal, but often not).

Cyndiann - excellent post! You obviously live in the REAL world!
We'd like to make two points here ourselves:
1) Erections are NOT always caused by sexual arousal... the warmth of the sun, movement, a full bladder, a satisfying meal, relaxation after intense exercise... these are just a few of the non-sexual things that can cause an erection.
2) A number of respondents have said that they have never themselves experienced an erection in a public nude setting - to that we reply that their argument is similar to this: We have never travelled faster than 85mph in an automobile; therefore it is not likely that anyone can, should or ever has travelled faster than 85mph, and any car that can (or does) go faster should be banned from the public roads!

For the recent respondents on this thread, keep reading back through my previous reponses. The issue I see is that you simply can't tell whether an erection is due to a non-sexual physiological response or through sexual arousal. Secondly, its how the male reacts to the erection, ie whether he walks down the beach flaunting it or tries to deal with the "problem". Exactly the same if a male walks down the street clothed with an obvious erection, if he's flaunting it, its simply, socially unacceptable. Why is a nude beach any different???

I'm no expert on erections... have never had one myself :) However, a few things are obvious from this discussion:
1) Erections happen for many reasons
2) Some men can control erections at some times and some men can't
3) "Showing off" an erection is not socially acceptable, be it with nudists or clothed people
4) People have varying degrees of comfort being around those with an erection.
Please correct me if any of the above statements are wrong. All that being said, is it really such a big deal to 'take care' of an erection if it happens? I mean, if you get one because your bladder is full, empty your bladder. If you get one for some other reason, does it do any harm to jump in the water or cover up with a towel until it passes? Taking these actions doesn't mean that having an erection is wrong or even sexual, it just means that you're helping some others who may be sensitive to not feel uncomfortable. Just my nickels worth on this sensitive topic.

Melissa,
Yeap... That's exactly my point. I'm totally against those men who don't do something about it. Its as easy as rolling over onto your stomach... No issue!
Just like some people are offended by nudity, we take steps to cover up in appropriate places ie shopping malls, work, and textile beaches. Why isn't an erection treated the same? Cover it up where necessary.
Cheers,

Yup, Melissa, very well said. and, it's that simple. It all comes down to politeness and courtesy to others. Why would we want to chance making someone uncomfortable? That's not what our nudity is about.
Naturally, Dan :)

And what if he's merely laying still, not flaunting it and not hiding it? You've mentioned the two extremes but you haven't really drawn the line of what you consider acceptable. And who gets to judge what is acceptable? You? What is really wrong with someone merely laying on a beach with an erection? Not socially acceptable? Neither is being nude on most beaches but nudists see fit to go against social acceptability when it comes to nudity.

Cyndiann,
I disagree with you here. How many nudists do you see walking down the street enjoying their chosen lifestyle? I know in Australia, not many. So naturists reserve their lifestyle to were its more socially acceptable... Beaches, Home, Resorts etc. Just the same as an erection, an erection is acceptable in some places and not others.
Cheers,
