One of the great things about being a guy is having an erection. I agree "know your boundaries". If I am with just a bunch of naked guys then yes, I am sure someone is going to have a spontaneous one whether they want it or not. I don't care if it's me, I am almost average in that department so it's not world shattering. In public nudist places though you go with the standards of the area. For example, a nudist place I visit just asked that men cover up those erections out of courtesy for others, which I am good with. If guys want to show it elsewhere , fine with me- I am gonna look. But not stare forever. Just curious is all. It is amazing at the diversity in those. Guys, have some pride in them. Don't be embarrassed. Took me years to learn that... Have some fun!
I believe that many, if not a majority, of persons think it'd be wonderful being able to enjoy the freedom of going naked. For most, though, they never get to experience the fun of nudity for concern over"what others might say or think"; self-consciousness about their bodies due weight, surgery scars, etc.; it's something "dirty" , or simply because they don't know of a safe place to go nude, other than at home.
Personally, I'm delighted if others see me naked, and it expresses a sense of freedom that I love being a part of. Though freedom and fun are the primary factors I enjoy, I'm fine too if others fantasize seeing me (or photos of me) naked. Eroticism is part of human nature for all of us, and that's okay too. Exhibitionism, on the hand, is intended to shock or offend, which my brand of nudism doesn't seek to do.
.It is not exhibitionist to be naked in a nudist setting that practices nudity in common (beaches, clubs or holiday centres),...
Definition of an exhibitionist is a person who behaves in an extravagant way in order to attract attention.
This is an interesting topic as I sometimes thought I was an exhibitionist since I went to nudist resorts. I appreciate the post I quoted. I made me look up the definition of exhibitionist.
I do not act in extravagant ways in order to attract attention at the resort that I attend.
Not at All.Being Naked and Showing off your Body can Have its Sexual aspects. 2 Body Parts Have To Be exposes for Sexual Intercourse.
That is TOTALLY different from nudism. Nudists uncover the whole body, not just the genitals. And this group is for exhibitionists, not voyeurs.
I agree with Paul. It happens. At my age I wish it happened with me. Yrs. ago my wife and a lady friend were at Red, White & Blue beach enjoying the sun and surf. There was a group of younger guys near us. The youngest guy in the middle was setting there all normal but with a lovely erection. I was rather enjoying it. But our friend was a bit upset. Shes a longtime Nudist. I told her get a grip hes young new to this and itll go away soon. And it did, at Hawaii Nudist Park when we first started going Id drive Nude to the gate in my Mustang Convertible top down. I would work the combination to open the gate all the while sporting an election, then Id put on a swim suit and we would drive home. But never drove home nude as many members did. But then they werent in a convertible. ;-))
I am glad you like having others look at your nude body. I am sure others enjoy it as much as I do. I do look at the whole body though. A penis and vagina can be focal points but I also look at the face -is it a natural smile, eyes laughing, overall facial expression one of joy??? We are all perfect in our own ways so celebrate who and what you are! Infinite diversity in infinite combination!... I am also an advocate for freeing the nipple as well as men having natural erections (not self made). Its time to grow up and celebrate what we are biologically. Someone once pointed out we were naked before clothes, then clothes changed us into something else. Another discussion for another day! Have some fun! D
The opposite (antonym) for exhibitionist are shrinking violet, coward, stick-in-the-mud, introvert and kolpophobia. Kolpophobia is the fear of genitals, particularly female. As someone who is not ashamed of the body God created for me I don't mind being called a exhibitionist.
If you are a golfer, you look at pictures of people swinging golf clubs. If you are a model railroad buff, you pour over pictures of people playing with toy trains. It stands to reason if you are a nudist you enjoy seeing yourself and other people in the state of undress. This is what gives us satisfaction and satisfaction is the goal of living.
I think its a feeling you should engage yourself more as long as it does not get you into trouble. A few beers down, I have this urge to ask women in not so crowded bars ( tourist beach places) to give me a dare. I wait for them to ask me to run naked on the streets. I was lucky I did not get caught. But I had my share of fun that way.
