I'm with Badger on this one. Plus, the original post uses "flaunt" to describe their attitude. Flauntiing is way different from just enjoying my own and others' nakedness. The latter can be very sensuous anyway. Flauntiing sort of implies a disregard for other people.
We all know that the penis has a mind of its own, there should be no reason for men to be embarrassed or for on lookers to be embarrassed or offended at a man with an erection, as long he his not being sexual with it.
I no longer hide my erection if I am naked out in public.
The poster used the words flaunt and turn on which could suggest sexual overtones so Im not sure how he meant it. At the very least he seems to have a exhibitionist streak in him which as long as he doesnt do anything offensive is fine .
Taking pride in one's naked body is a wonderful aspect of being naturist/nudist and sexuality depends on attitude and the context. In my opinion, it starts with having a certified profile picture on TN. If you're uncomfortable getting out of the starting gate here, it's likely to limit your turn ons elsewhere, too!
I can say I have no issue if I'm erect infront of others, whether it be my partner, friends, in a gym shower or at a beach. Now if there was a sexual act, then obviously I can see why people would object. I can say that doesn't matter the orientation, guys can get boners at any time and it's not a sexual thing. From my time in sports esp high school and university wrestling, it was not uncommon to see my fellow teammates when we showered to have erections and we never took it as being gay or sexual...it happens. Now the exhibitionist side of me, does find that hot, though on the flip side of the arguement, I enjoy being watched as well both in a non or sexual environment.
Erections are part of been a man and is a reflection of what we are thinking, even when we claim it has a mind of it's own..LOL. Somewhere back in the deepest part of our minds, there is that thought. We all have our likes and dislikes. The likes are pleasant and we enjoy them for what they are. Those that are sensual and sexual in nature will get the response from our bodies, we feel flushed, warm, and the result can be a semi or erection. That can happen from seen another guy get semi or erection, it's like he gets one we get one. Now when it crosses the line of been more of a sexual thing in public places is when they guy helps it along, or it's something that he's showing it off, and we all know that when we see it. It's always a cool to allow our bodies be natural when nude, with or without erections but like everything, there is a time and place for things to be 'natural'.
