Guess what?Anger, is a part of us.Violence, is a part of us.Do we allow those things out whenever, just because they're a part of us? Or as civilized people, do we exercise a modicum of self control, and only let it out in the appropriate time and place? These tedious attempts to welcome sexual behavior or displays into the nudist/naturist world are getting boring.DITTOSo mature.A modicum of self control is language from the 19th century, does it have a place here in an open healthy lifestyle site in 2017?Tedious attempts to do what exactly, to explore guilt and society controls. to free the minds of so many who feel repressed for simply being human? since when did an erection without any doubt only indicate sexual behaviour . what is becoming boring is the constant attempt to make naturism a thing of godly higher than thou expectation. I want a naturist world and that only comes with people being natural and not feeling guilt for being human. The transition into this world will cause a lot of erections and sexual arousal until people adjust., it is the way we are programmed to be. The mutual respect that this 'tolerance' will generate will shape behaviour in a way that living by a rule book can never do.our mantra should be simple- my nudity is not an invitation for sex, neither is it a restrictive power on your own thoughts, nudity is a pure and beautiful thing of self expression it does not need to be shamed on any level. If getting hard or wet is shame then we really are back in the 19th c of lunatic asylums for women who orgasm.And if you can't engage in healthy debate with your own thoughts rationalised, please do not block up the threads on here for those who wish to understand ourselves better. join in but try looking beyond your myoptic and out of date views. Isn't that what we ask of textiles?
Bloody well said !
We are all sexual beings, whether nudist or textile. The vital thing is knowing the difference between nudity and sex, or porn. Each has its place and, yes, they can overlap. But if we confuse the two we will lose the ability to persuade the public at large about non-sexual nudity.
I agree, Olly, but your words are falling on deaf ears with the perverted little rampant rabbits on here. We have some very immature and inconsiderate (so called nudists) on here, who are determined to ruin this site with their sick minds.
I find it a bit amusing to read about erections as signs of arousal which need to be controlled and have the potential to be some elephant in the room. I was at a male nude gathering of mostly men 50+ like myself and a young visitor popped a boner and was shamefully embarrassed. My attitude was more like How charming, an erection, I wish I could still do that with the frequency I used to! Yes, we are all sexual and arousal is part of it. But arousal is not only sexual, and erections speak just as much about our vascular health as anything else.
Men are visual beings by nature. That being said, I personally think there is beauty in every naked body, no matter, the sex, age, or size. That being said, there are some of those beautiful bodies that I enjoy seeing more than others, lol. So far, I have not had an issue with an erection in a nude setting. Not sure what that says about me, but I have definitely seen bodies that I would enjoy seeing more of and definitely enjoy seeing more than others.
Anyone who says that nudism has no sexuality in it I think is delusional. Saying that however, doesn't mean we have to act on those feelings. We can enjoy seeing someone without acting on it or reacting to it in any way. We can enjoy the sexuality wdith our partners in a private setting. Being nude is about freedom and equality. I have found that I am much more outgoing when I am nude than when I am clothed. I'm not sure what that says about me, but the equality of being without the outward trappings of clothing puts everyone on an equal footing.
I also find that people who are comfortable with their bodies are much more attractive than those that aren't. It doesn't matter how much weight you have or how you look as much as it is with how comfortable you are with WHO you are and HOW you look. I hope that makes sense.

Thumbs up! well said.
Nudists are just like anyone else the only difference being we live life without clothes. Do I notice good looking people in public nudist settings? Sure. The same way I notice them in settings were everyone is clothed, and I don't get an erection in either situation because I'm not using my brain in a sexual manner. The brain is the largest sex organ, without it your penis can't do ANYTHING. That being said, I practice sexuality just as much as any other average guy. Since I'm always naked at home I also happen to always be naked when doing anything sexual. On an average day in no particular order I might wake up, exercise, swim, shower, write, watch TV, use the internet, do something sexual , play video games, use the internet, paint, read a book, watch TV, and go to bed all without wearing a single man-made thing. Being a nudist is a LIFESTYLE that encompasses every aspect of living. Just the same as many guys are clothed when doing sexual things at home I just happen to be naked because I'm always naked anyway. Being naked does not cause one to suddenly feel sexual or get an erection in mixed company with other nudists just because they're naked. It's using the brain (thinking) sexually that puts people in such a mood and it works regardless of whether you're clothed or not.

I like your outlook to this discussion. and you are very right in your words. Who actually states that erections have to happen or be about sexual arousal, they don't ! Our own minds and how our own bodies perceive a given situation can cause and erection, but by what specific definition does or did that make this young mans embarrassing boner a sexual act ?
I have to agree that erections are about vascular health as much as they are for any other reason.

Thanks for your reply to my discussion. I feel both men and women are visual beings, and yes, there is beauty in every naked body. We are always going to find some people more enjoyable to see than maybe others, but that is part of human nature. Because you have never had a problem with an erection in the nudist setting says nothing about you as a person or a sexual being, there is no set rule.
I have to agree with you that some people are being delusional with regards to nudism/nudity having no sexuality in their eyes, as I have said, it is a part of every single person on the planet. And, agreed, we don't have to act upon those feelings thoughts or someone else being a beautiful sight to see naked. Freedom/equality are the whole point of being naked with each other, just being ourselves, more so if we are naked, because, as you state, we are all on an equal footing.
Those of us that are fine with how we look naked are more genuine and attractive, we are all the same under the clothing that we wear, naked and free.
Your words do make sense, it's all about how we read and interpret them that is the key. All we have to do is be ourselves when we are naked together, just us and our skin, nothing more.
