RE:What to do about erections!!!

Geez, I feel like the odd man out here. The only spontaneous erections I have gotten since my early 20's have all been in bed sleeping. My bodies way of waking me up because my bladder is full. Dad told me to control it "You need to control your mind, just keep your mind out of the gutter" Sun, wind, rain, rubbing up against something I am working on, has never done anything for me.

RE:What to do about erections!!!

If you agree that its inappropriate in public while in clothes, what makes it appropriate when among nudists?

It's not inappropriate in public while in clothes, because nobody is likely to see it, unless they're really looking for telltale bulges. "Flashers" are another subject entirely, as are other exhibitionists. (And the law is pretty clear that, for male flashers, it doesn't matter whether they're erect or not. Same crime. Same punishment.)

No, you are not the only one.

Woody, you said clothed society has different standards of what behavior is appropriate and which is not.

Thats not true.

I know its hard for you to understand, but people expect and demand proper behaviour regardless of how they are dressed.

I agree. But you are old enough to see how society has been changing over the years. The ME first screw you crowd is taking over, and gaining in numbers. Degenerates seem to be taking over. Except on over the air TV the prudes have that, blurring out excess cleavage, side boob and even clothed poky nips, that were no big deal 10-15 years ago.

RE:What to do about erections!!!

.And what the hell constitutes an "erection" anyway? Quarter-mast? Half-mast? Lack of bendability? As a man, I can be in any one of those states at a particular time. What is the rule about that?

I've wondered about that myself. It reminds me of a judge who once said, "I can't tell you what pornography is, or what it isn't. All I can say is that I know it when I see it."

I see a lot of pictures in the "Gallery" section that show penises at at least engorged. If it's OK with the moderators here, where is it not OK?

Somewhere on TN I read, that to post a picture of a standing male, the penis needs to be below 9:00. Or for a laying down shot it needs to be laying against the body

There is a huge difference between the real world and the internet.

In 20 years Ive never noticed an erection at a beach or resort as people generally are socially capable of good behaviour.

Im not saying it doesnt happen as I have heard stories about creepy guys getting chased off the beach.

I think thats the general opinion, if I was to see a guy with a hard on my first thought would be, whos that creepy old dude, people with children might hold another opinion.

To be perfectly honest Ive never heard of old or new school nudism, perhaps is an American thing.

We have visited America but never as naturists so weve never encountered your free boner society. In Europe we are naked to relax in the sun, swim, meet friends. Non of these activities require a hard on so we dont get them.

Ill have to rethink my reasoning when addressing Yanks. (No pun intended)

Thanks J.

It's a real thing, Stevie. It's just "underground" and flies under the radar of established naturist clubs and resorts. Even a lot of American naturists haven't heard of it. But then, maybe people in more nudist-tolerant cultures, here and abroad, don't feel the need for clubs; they just practice social nudism as a matter of course. If you have a pool, you swim naked. If your friends come over, they swim naked, too. Hot tubs are clothing-optional more often than not. Once in a while, you make a "road trip" out of it and maybe a dozen people show up at a swimming hole or a river or a hot spring where they can do their thing. (I think there's more of these road trips on the East Coast than the West Coast, because the forests are denser and the rivers more plentiful there. I sure haven't run into any here so far, but then again, I've only started looking.)

Jehoram calls it "New School" but I don't think its participants don't call it anything but simply socializing nude. I'll bet there are lots of people in the UK who do this, too. I know that it's a thing in Scandinavian countries, because I've met some.

(And, yes, boners come up once in a while, but as Jehoram points out, it's not considered a big deal. You ignore it, it goes away eventually. No harm, no foul.)
