embarassment in a nude gathering

[sandar]

I am still a home nudist but contemplating to come out of the closet. But I have certain feelings.Can anyone post his honest opinion whether women feel embarassed or shy in a nudist gathering when her male partner is not so well endowed down there.

Most guys that feel they are undersized are actually average size. If you haven't been around a lot of nude people how would you know?

I'm sure Sandar has complete knowledge of the many different "sizes" there are. It was just a question concerning curiosity of body acceptance, not a question of "how do I rate".

Question: Why is this same topic in both "New Naturist" and "The Fun of Nude Recreation"? Can't this be enveloped into one instead of having two different threads for responses? Personally, I think it belongs in the "New Naturist" thread, but just my opinion.

Why would any nudist care about such things?
Do not be embarrased about a lack of endowment, no true nudist would care.

Your body and the one of your spouse is the only one you'll get, made by the maker. Change only what you can without surgeries (i.e. weight loss,hair color, weight gain - muscles or toning).

Think about how you might feel if someone is smaller than you, or if another woman has larger breasts than your partner, for example. The general attitude is that it doesn't matter and nobody really cares. The hardest part about introducing ones self to social nudism is over coming ones own inhibitions, which have nothing to do with the real sitiation.

How do you know Sandar has complete knowledge of the sizes if he's never been nude socially?

Sandar, cyndiann answered it best. Now as for how nudists think about each other, we genuinely don't care what the size of it is. There will be some of us who have larger ones, others who have smaller ones. All that really should matter to you is how well he handles it in those special private encounters.

Don't give his penis another thought. No one else will.

don't let society based body shame persuade you not to enjoy the naturist lifestyle. you will find that no one is overly concerned with the aesthetics of you or your mate, as non of us are that perfect body shown by the media and advertising. penis or breast size is not important, having fun naked is!!!

I'm not sure why this topic is also running on the other topic board, but since this does seem to be the appropriate place for it, and receiving the most activity, I'll repost my reply here...

Since at nudist functions nobody sees an erect penis (under average conditions) I don't see how the size soft is relevant.

The over-fascination with size, whether for male or female, body parts is one of those issues that I find particularly curious. Obviously, for women, we all know about the traditional popularity of breast enlargement, and now we have botox for enlarging lips, and (egads!) women concerned their clitoris is too small. Unfortunately, I know (as a man) that some men (not all!) really do guage a woman's sexual allure almost solely by the size of certain body parts. I guess the latest comments I've heard have to with areola size as being a big turn on.

For men, the focus is of course, all on one particular body part and hence the incredible number of penis enlargement operations going on. Then, of course, we have all the ads and "medical" drives going regarding andropause. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation aired a great show on this recently, see
http://www.cbc.ca/cbcworldwide/sexdrugsmiddleage/

With regard to the cyndiann's comment, I emphasize the point she makes. The size of a penis in its flaccid state is no clear indicator of its size in an erect state. Generally, penises that are smaller in their flaccid state have a much greater increase in size when erect. The size of a penis in its flaccid state is largely due to the amount of residual blood and the amount of spongy material retracted, or not, into the body.

Though I haven't done any scientific studies, I'd hazard that individuals who focus on the size of other's body parts as a key criteria of sexiness may be missing some of the truly important aspects. Or maybe that's just my bias.

To sum up, I think all the pressure for size, intensity, and frequency we see not just from spam email but even from the apparently bona fide "medical" marketers has more to do with increasing the size of our insecurities in order to increase the size of someone else's wallet. I mean the little guy or gal can't win can they; as soon as the 57-year old has the surgery and pills to make him/her like a 30-year old, the 30-year old gets surgery and pills to beat out the other 30-year olds. Its a great business opportunity as the size of of the sexual insecurity market seems to be practically infinite.

Hey, I'm ranting so I'll stop now. I'll just add that this, and other world events, make me want to see that incredibly prohetic, satiric movie "Brazil" again.

I know that we are talking about men and how body part size is not suppose to matter, and it shouldn't but in reality it does matter to most men. If body part size didn't matter why are so many women having their breasts enlarged or reduced? And don't say Nudist women don't because they do..I'd say if you feel better with bigger this or that then do it. This is just my humble opinion..Noodjuggler [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I agree with all the other posts , we like to benaked its not a contest its not important. The main thing is to enjoy yourself. Now I myself am a male that was worried about this but at my first get together I just decided that I was going to have funbeing naked ,and Im comfortable with myself

This is why I enjoy NetNude and their photo galleries. I don't mind other males seeing me nude at the local University pool nor do I mind seeing them but it's awfully hard to look and/or compare without seeming like I have negative intentions. NetNude's galleries gave me the opportunity to not only satisfy my curiosity and compare my own genitals to others (where I actually did see a few smaller, much to my surprise) and NetNude also gave me the knowledge and the opportunity to learn about so many different sizes. I've seen penises that I had to wonder if the pictures were Photoshopped and I've seen penises that I wondered if when those individuals started out they had the same concerns as I did. The most important thing I learned was that everyone is different and that this includes male and female genitals. I remember being very surprised that female genitals also come in different forms as well!

I am circumcized so these caught my attention more but at least now when I finally enter a nudist environment I will be slightly more comfortable around others of the same sex and opposite sex as well as be able to use the knowledge and experience I gained from NetNude to help assure me that I am as unique in certain areas that others are.
