Are Boners Contagious?
Return to DiscussionsBeen randomly speaking about this subject the last few days and seems to be an interest in discussion, so here it is. Do you think erections are contagious like a yawn? Im not talking about self pleasure hard ons. Im talking about say at a beach or nudist venue and you are doing your thing and you look over and theres a semi or erect penis, and yours starts to grow hands free. Ill be the first to say that happens to me all the time; like a yawn soon I am pointing straight out or up. What are your thoughts and / or experiences if its happened to you. Also those naysayers who say oh no not me ever, why do you think that is?
I BELIEVE AS A PHYSICIAN NUDIST THAT WHEN MEN ARE TOGETHER AND RELAXED AND ONE OF THEM GETS A HARD ON IT DOES EFFECT THE OTHER MEN AND THEY BEGIN TO GET HARD ALSO! WHY, I AM NOT CERTAIN, PERHAPS IT IS A WAY TO COMPETE WITH OTHER MALES ERECTIONS OR NOT TO HAVE THEM THINK YOU CANNOT GET A HARD ON! I TRULY DO NOT NOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT I KNOW WHEN I HAVE BEE NUDE AROUND OTHER NUDIST GUYS AND SOME GET A BONER I DO TOO!
HICKGUY M.D.
they are contagious, if I see another man get erect, I will usually get erect also, it's not always sexual it's the excitement of seeing someone feel comfortable enough to be free to allow themselves to be authentic like that, it's an appreciation of another man's manhood and letting them appreciate yours. If anything transpires beyond that, then that's different but also erections are normal and could just be the body's response to the environment, the feeling or the visual stimulus around that person. I think they're beautiful and we really need to not get hung up about it. It's part of being a man.
I have some curiosity about who you've been randomly speaking with about erections - do you mean in your professional life (you male kegel teacher, you) or do you mean here in True Nudists? Also, I live at a family nude resort where public, random boners do not occur with any regularity. So to see a bunch of men beginning to all rise, one after another, just through witnessing another guy's erection, that's just not going to happen. Considering such a spectacle makes me think of the old Busby Berkeley-Esther Williams pool extravaganzas, but instead of beautiful, grinning women in swimsuits choreographed in complicated, undulating, geometric shapes all paddling around, there are dozens of nude, stiff men rising up out of the water spouting semen one after another with pride! Yes, my mind is a cesspool of stupid sometimes.
I feel as though the proposal of male inter-reaction is more wishful thinking than anything that might happen in most open, naked situations, though I admit that my experiences in more adult-only nudist scenes are relegated to only a few visits to clothing optional beaches. Out in the open, like what a public nude beach offers the excited beachcomber - that may relieve the need to tastefully hide one's enthusiastic parts from more impressionable eyes. At a private resort where all ages may be present and open erections in the public areas are never on the docket, a sprouting forest of proud, upstanding penises is not going to go over well.
I have read here in TN of moments similar to what is being envisioned by the original poster occurring in a gender-specific locker room, communal shower or steam room, where one dude ramps up a bone for whatever reason and then others do rise upon the viewing of the original, upwardly-trending tool, in a "Hey, if he can, so can I!" sort of situation. Sounds like a slippery, shower stall slope to me, but it isn't hurting anyone, and could in all likelihood help males to become closer, even gel a special friendship given their sexual proclivities. Men will be men, and I can see a shared moment like this backfiring if any one of the men involved suddenly finds himself regarding the others in a sexual framework and cannot maintain control, be it negative or positive.
Reading the room - most everyone here agrees that erections are not only caused by sexual thoughts, but once it is standing among others, a pulsing peter in full view might prompt one or more of those boner-bearers toward acting in a sexual manner. A professional 'male kegel' teacher will of course see many erections - in fact that is, to a large extent, the main reason to teach this exercise, maybe even the biggest part (yeah, that was a way-easy pun), and if the teaching is in a group setting, duh! Grab a towel and have a ball. And suddenly I can't see the forest for all the turgid trees! Doing your thing isn't a bad thing as long as the company is cool with it.
Mutual yawns are unconscious reactions we share with many species on the planet. There are documented instances of mutual interspecies yawns. But watching a gorilla at the zoo yawn, and that view then forcing the human witness to also yawn involuntarily, is not the same as any human genital reaction upon seeing that gorilla pop an erection. It might prompt the human's body to react, but those are at heart sexual responses. The view of the animal becoming erect may even manifest a bodily reaction, but blood flow doesn't mean the person wants to have relations with the animal. Basic animal sexual urges have been triggered, nothing more. The yawn reflex and sexual urge may even come from some of the same parts of the brain and body, given how old sexual responses are in our past.
I sometimes find a yawn quite satisfying, don't you? But not nearly as much fun as a good sneeze.
To round this up, I am a naysayer. I am not offended by the sight of an erection given appropriate circumstances. Because I am a seasoned nudist - involved in social nudism to better connect with other nudists and to also help ground myself in the Universe, in a non-sexual mindset - I do not believe I would find myself growing at the sight of another erection. It has yet to have ever happened to me except during a couple of private moments with close friends. For the record I am purportedly a heterosexual. My many experiences of being in a crowd of other nudists tells me that what I'll call a 'rolling erection' may begin casually enough, but likely evolves more through the voyeurism, exhibitionism and sexual intrigue that ensues. I don't feel that our bare cause is helped in any way by following that path.Been randomly speaking about this subject the last few days and seems to be an interest in discussion, so here it is.

I do feel they are contagious. I have witnessed one male getting hard and others follow suit. It is NOT SEXUAL in nature and males get hard, so be it. I was taught it is not being hard that is sexual, but what is done with it that is sexual. If left alone, they deflate on their own, just like getting hard on their own. I know from personal experience when alone or with others (male and female) I have gotten semi and fully hard for no reason at all, or no reason I can come up with. It has happened at nude beaches, resorts, parties etc. If the space is anti-hard, then I do my best to hide it, restrain it or I excuse myself from the area. Society has made a hard on sexual, when it is not always the case. I could go on for day on my personal beliefs, but it is just my personal beliefs, thoughts and ideals, which may or not be yours. Ultimately we should respect each other regardless of a hard on or not. Guys get hard nude as well as when clothed...clothes do hide them, but clothes also hide who we are as well.
I teach a Nude Yoga class each week. The class is not sexual in nature in the least. It is very much a standard Yoga class, just without the laundry. About every other class, we will have someone getting an erection in class, and it's usually one of the newbies. I find that this will cause others to get erections as well. I am not sure if it's just everyone's Cialis kicking in at the same time, but again, class just goes on. I figure if we are all comfortable enough to hold a yoga class in the nude, we should also all be comfortable enough to continue on with class with boners.
It is energy period. Let's not overthink it. If you are energy sensitive and healthy you may tap into that energy.
If all the dudes have a low vibe you will also feel that. If you have high sexual energy even as a straight male and someone grows you may grow.
Just like if you have fear or overthinking and need to grow that low energy will disappoint you.
