A couple of years ago, I was at the nude resort here in southeastern Va., and I was in my lounge chair hanging out. There was a couple next to me and the girl was pretty hot looking. A while later, I had a little hard going on, not a full erection, just a little stiff, when one of the parks lieutenants (hard on police) came up to me and asked me to cover up. My neighbors next to me had stepped away, I think they ratted me out. Just will be more careful next time, like going in the pool.
It's like that at the nudist club that my wife and I go to. While most of the members would probably not make a complaint if a man happened to get an erection, there are always a few members who will complain to the board. But I don't understand why someone would complain if you were "just a little stiff".
Interesting thread. I can't really recall an embarrassing erection and when they occur, I wish they wouldn't be embarrassing unless they cross the line - which can happen. I know my first few times in a social nudity situation, erections were a huge fear and the massive amounts of new sensations I was feeling, did cause me to become a bit "full" in size. I think these days, it's a non-starter and I can control it, but as I posted elsewhere, leaking precum consciously or unconsciously can give me away.
It's perfectly natural for a young man to be afraid that he might not be able to avoid getting an erection when in a social nudity situation. But I don't think it's entirely a matter of becoming used to the nude bodies. There is always the possibility of a new sensation that suddenly takes one by surprise. I remember a number of times at the nudist club that my wife and I used to frequent when I really had to concentrate to avoid getting an embarrassing erection. I think the stimulus was most often from having my beautiful wife near me. It wasn't from staring at the other women. One remedy was to have a towel available just in case.
