Erections and Naturism

nudiarist · #1 02-23-2008, 09:38 AM

From my perspective, the issue of male erections in nudism/naturism is overblown. Rarely do they ever occur, and if someone does experience a spontaneous event, there are ways to deal with it, such as covering up with a towel, or rolling over onto one's stomach when at the beach. I don't think that there's any question that naturists consider erections normal and natural occurences, and nothing necessarily to get alarmed about.

Recently an inquiry was made to a naturist club regarding their policy on erections, and this was the reply: "Don't go near others in a way that the erection is near their face, and things like that. Put less formally, we say "Guys have dicks. Dicks get hard. Deal with it." So if you are comfortable letting your erection wave, feel free to do so."

This statement followed the typical advice, such as covering up, etc. Does anyone think that a "let it wave" policy is consistent with naturist and nudist philosophies? Are there any women reading this that are OK with this policy, or would this be seen as a reason to avoid such a club?

While "let it wave" is a bit looser terminology than the attitude and 'policy' I have encountered at nudist clubs and events it is not all that loose.
By which I mean no special notice is afforded and the 'reason' for 'special notice' soon resolves itself so focus is not on any 'waving' member.

However a concerted effort to bring about such 'notice' is not to be tolerated and is not at nudist clubs. In clubs that are other than nudist clubs it is likely a different story ... because nudity is allowed or encouraged or required does not mean that the club is a nudist club.

You need to check up on any club before and after visiting as a matter of course to find the one that suits your needs.

Now, this is the 20something thread dealing with this topic that I have counted so far so I suggest a perusal of those myriad of threads for more discussion should that be desired as this subject as been 'discussed' ad nauseum and then some on those threads already.

I fully understand that, but I am looking for reaction specific to the stated "let it wave" policy, as well as the "Dicks get hard. Deal With It" attitude of this one club. I am specifically interested in hearing from women as to whether or not this policy is a deal-breaker for attending or joining.

Ok...ok; I'm not a woman.

But...I once eavesdropped on a conversation between two nudist women, discussing a certain individual who occasionaly had erections, and made no effort to conceal it. Quite the contrary; it seems he would continue socializing as usual. Needless to say, they were expressing less than positive views about this individual. If these two women were typical nudist women, which I believe they were, such a policy would undoubtebly be a deal-breaker.

I've seen this a nude beaches too, where an erected fellow will cause nearby women to pack up and move, or put their clothes back on. I can't speak for women, but it seems that an overt erection is quite a powerful repellent for them, regardless of the situation or location policies.

Given the fact that the number of threads dealing with this subject are too many to count (naturist websites internet wide) and most of the women that will contribute to this topic (here on CFF) have already given their two cents on this topic, I will find it surprising if you get any response from just the women here. This thread may go on and on, as many others have, with the arguements between male naturists about whether or not allowing your erection to "fly free" is appropriate in a naturist setting.

I don't believe you'll get the responses from the females that you've requested or find many, if any, females members that are okay with "flying free" erections at clubs or in favor of this policy at a club.

Just my opinion...of course.

Ok my opinion as a female. If im on a nude beach and i see a guy with
an erection it doesnt bother me as long as he is not flaunting it. i dont care if he covers up or not. Its a natural thing isnt that what nudism is all about being natural. I dont run to put my top on every time my nipples get hard.
so i guess the "let it wave" policy is ok with me

Being an ancient nudist, that is, one of several decades, I have not encountered in all those years that many erections. Should they occur, they are no big deal as long as the man is not being an exhibitionist about it which most are not. On very rare occasions, there has been the guy who (wasn't a nudist or wanted to be one) wanted to flaunt his hard penis. He was asked to cover up and to leave. But over the years, such sights have not been that common.

I agree with nudiarist that they are not that frequent and that the subject is overblown. I, personally, think that those who have "problems" haven't a grip (hope this is not a bad pun) on their own nudity yet or they are not nudists to begin with, just men who want to flaunt or be gawked at. They do exist.

Erections do occur from time to time but most are very brief and most nudists don't make any issue about it or even any comments.

Having a policy seems odd to me. Maybe, like some clubs, they have a generalized "etiquette" policy. Further, nudist women know they will occur from time to time and for one to make a comment seems even more odd to me.

Yes, I am particularly interested in hearing from women who would consider a "let it wave" policy on erections as unacceptable, and are they offended by a club that says "Dicks get hard, deal with it"?

Hi nudiarist! I don't object to such a policy but as I stated earlier I find it odd to have one. And the way it is worded, is a bit tacky and seems to have an angry bent to it. Personally don't think nudist women would object to such.
