I like being nude, but have questions

[Simon-new]

I have been looking at many nudity sites, and after veiwing many pictures I feel the need to masturbate. I am triing to desensitise myself so if I would ever get into a situation where I would socialize in the nude I wouldn't have this urge.

Are my feeling normal? Is okay to get aroused looking at all the nude pictures? When you get into a social event, do you still get the urge? If so, what do you do? (go to the bathroom take care of it then drive on?)LOL

Depends on how old you are. If you're in your teens to early 20s, I would say that it wouldn't be too surprising. If you're older than that, maybe you need to reconsider what you're looking for. Maybe you're a swinger, and not a nudist.

I would say you should try going to a nudist beach or resort and see what happens. The atmosphere will be completely different and your reactions are almost guaranteed to be different as well. If all you can do while you're there is think about how many naked people are there and still get turned on, then you should definitely spend some time thinking about whether you're a nudist or a swinger.

Whatever your choice, you need to find out where you "stand" and stick with it. Nudists and swingers can sometimes get into some nice rows, and a fair majority of us nudists don't like to have many swingers advertising themselves as nudists.

Before I had my first "Public nudity" experience, I had some of the same fears.
I was certain I would have uncontrollable erections. That fear almost kept me from trying any kind of nudist enviroment.
I finally had a chance to actually go to a nude beach. And to my surprise, Erections were not even an issue. Partly due to the fear of being thrown off of the beach, and partly due to the "non sexual" surroundings. It was just people on a beach. The reality was that it wasn't any different than a clothed beach. People were doing the same things you would find on a clothed beach. Lying in the sun, enjoying snacks and beverages, playing in the surf. Aside from the lack of wet soggy swimsuits there was no difference.

My advice would be to get passed the "fantasy" of what it would be like to be nude around other people. And find someone, or someplace to spend time nude with like minded people.
Unfortunately we don't have many options here in the far west part of the midwest. But if you really want a nudist experience, you will find one.

Your arousal might be due to the fact that you may be confusing nudist sites with porno sites and fantising about having sex with the naked bodies without seeing the person within the body. In the social nudist world we are out there for physical and spiritial freedom and pleasure not sexual pleasure. We are all bothers and sisters (though not related) and look at, treat, and respect each other as a person not just a naked body.

There's also a slightly different aspect to it - you're specifically looking at pictures, not interacting with people. Pictures tend to objectify individuals, and it's easier to see someone as a thing and not an entity.

That's not to say you can't ever be aroused by a person, but I'd venture to say you find it a lot less common. That's explicitly the point: once you get over the initial 15-30 minutes of "oh my gods everyone's naked", they stop being naked bodies and start just being people who happen to be naked.

Context is everything; once you experience the context, you'll probably be alright.

Depends on what kind of pictures you are looking at. Nudist gatherings are normal people and not models, so you would probably not have the same reaction. I've always separated social nudity and sex, so my first social event was not an issue. Even real nudist photos on the web are intentionally flattering. There is no reason to make them unflattering, but real life does not pick and choose like photos after the fact can. In a real situation you will forget that everyone is nude in about 10 minutes.

It is nice to finally have a place where I can openly ask this type of question and get honest answers. I really enjoy my FREE time, but I just need to be able to talk through some of these issues.

Stop worrying and just go.

Guys who are not experienced in social nudism never believe it, they all think they are uncontrollable, unique, different from everyone else.

But they aren't.

There is almost no chance that you will get uncontrollable erections on your first, second, third, forth, fifth, sixth experience in social nudism. etc.

At first you will be too nervous to possibly become aroused. And then before you know it, it will be all too blase to arouse you. Trust me and every other experienced male nudist - it just is not a problem.

On the extremely rare occasion that you do get aroused - no problem, you have a towel handy to cover. Which I bet you will never have to use. Involuntary erections that are not due to sleeping and/or need to urinate are as rare as a modest politician.

Mark my words. Every wannabe inexperienced guy thinks I am full of **** when I tell you this. And every nudist guy knows it is true.

And then there are the posers who will tell you they know I'm wrong. That is how you will know they are posers.

Simon,

Mark is 100% correct. Bottom line, go and see for yourself. Once you get there you'll understand what he means.

When you are alone looking at pictures, you have no context. You are simply focsing on nude pictures. You naturally focus on what is unusual and that means naked breasts, genitals, and buttocks.

If you are just focusing on them, arousal is normal.

If you are at a beach enjoying yourself, and everyone is nude, then being nude is one aspect of the experience and not the focus.

I have also sent you a PM to ask you an additional question.
