RE:Getting an erection.

No self-respecting nudist would ever be caught without a towel at resort, ever. Someone who hasn't learned to control erections should absolutely not be hiking around inside a nudist resort without a towel. That's breaking a hard, fast, cardinal rule in the community. Speaking of hard and fast, take a hint, one that any male new to social bareness tends to figure out quickly - it is easy to lower the hard mast fast before arriving in the public areas. Do us all a favor. We don't need to see it, and we've seen better.Saying it is natural is a cop out. Tween boys who sprout up in public might get a pass until their parents deal with the situation; an adult who shows the bone will be told to turn onto their stomach or shown the exit gate. Sure, it's naturally going to occur sometimes, so have some respect and take care of that business before entering any social situation. Do it twice or thrice if needed, and congratulations. Wholesome, family nudists don't need guys around who feel they have some God-given right to let their hard-on persist. An attitude of tolerance in our natural community does not include a stiff dick in front of our children, thanks anyway.

I think WildWilly's comment is a silly overreaction. I need to carry a towel with me when going for a walk at a nudist resort because I might inadvertently get an erection? I might bring a towel with me if I think I'm going to sit down somewhere but, otherwise, there's no need. That's part of the fun of going to a nudist club. Saying that it is natural for a man to get an erection is NOT a cop out. WildWilly says that we are to take care of that business before entering any social situation? That is silly as well. Of course, I agree with his comment concerning children.

It happens. The wind can blow on it and it can get erect lol. Its natural and happens. I know more home nudists that are not at all offended by this at all. Im respectful and will cover up at times.

RE:Getting an erection.

An adult exposing a minor to an erection is illegal in many states. It is a criminal offense. Usually a complaint must be filed for the case to progress. However, if police observe it, they are usually bound to report it. Sometimes they lay in wait. Sometimes they just ignore it.

Any family friendly nudist resort must prevent that from happening to avoid being closed by authorities. Quickly dealing with an exposure is necessary. Avoiding community backlash for an adult only resort is the best policy as well. Closed beaches and businesses due to community push back are not rare.

Hiding an erection is a way to prevent complaints and subsequent prosecution. Hiding it seems like a good plan. Hide it any way you can. Do the best you can to focus your attention on other activities.

Personally I am not offended by exposed erections or protruding nipples. They are natural behaviors. On the other hand, I don't want naturist places closed.

Having a towel is much more than just a way to speedily underexpose your decidedly rude (in certain contexts), forwardly-aimed projection of maleness. By never having a way to know when this wayward, uncontrollable, mind-of-its-own protuberant piece of your body might decide to become stiff, and as such, suitable for poking the next available bodily entrance you may witness (and you then deem the breach in view worthy of your otherwise awkward meat popsicle), it is not good to venture into the bare areas of our earth without a way to camouflage your haphazardly, blood-engorged state from eyes which may find offense at its poorly-timed turgidity; that's even if you decide it would be educationally-helpful to any of the local children.

For those less-read of us, I direct you to a quote via Wikipedia from Douglas Adams, brainchild of a thing called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as to the overall, undeniable reasons behind ALWAYS having a towel ready at hand, this besides the obvious reason of where you're going to need to sit your bare behind, and at times when you least expect it. These pertain to any traveller, regardless whether they need to leave the planet at the drop of a hat or not, and whether or not they are nude.

The Guide states:

"A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)"

So be a frood and bring a towel, especially if it's May 25th!
