Are they? Or are they afraid of being in situations where their penises can be compared with those of other men? Or are they afraid of being shamed by women for having penises that are smaller then the "perceived" norm? (I put "perceived" in quotes because the comparison is often made with men in porn, whose equipment is hardly normal.)
The cure for this, obviously, is not less public nudity but more. The healthiest attitudes toward nudity are found where children have a chance to practice it, however limited that practice is ... in YMCA swimming pools, in gym showers, or in naturist communities. The more they see of other people's naked bodies, the more comfortable they are with their own.
I'm still leaning toward the theory that gay men are more likely to be at home with nudism because they've already gone through an ordeal of "coming out" when they declared and embraced their homosexuality. Declaring themselves to be naturists is just another step along that road.
One thing I learned long ago was to not over-think what someone else is or likes. Studied conversation can lead you to the truth and deeper conversation, if desired, can give you the truth. Aside from that, nudism is people, is desirable, enjoyable, healthy and just plain fun. So why muddy the water with nonsense?

Because people are bored with staying home from the pandemic? Seriously, the only ones who seem to have problems with gays are those who claim to be heterosexual but have inner doubts about their own sexual preference. A person who is comfortable in their own skin regardless of whether they claim to be gay or straight will have no problem with accepting the other. If a gay person approaches a straight person and asks for action, then all that is needed is for the straight person to say no. I have never heard of a gay man attacking a straight man for sex.

That has been my experience. I've been hit on by a few gay guys, but they received a polite refusal and responded with a polite "Thanks just the same." (The experiences women have with being hit on by men are often not as polite, which is one reason women are more defensive about it. And I suspect that defensiveness carries over to situations where they are nude among nude men that they don't know.)
I have maybe a dozen friends that I know are gay. They're still friends, and I don't treat them any differently than I do my straight friends. If I met them in circumstances where we were both nude, I don't think the dynamic would be any different.
