Guys- how did the ladies react to you popping a boner at the beach, pool, or sauna?

Were they amused, offended, curious, or not really care? Did any them ever say anything?

I was at a nude beach, in a secluded cove but right near a young couple (who got there *after* me so this wasn’t something I set up). They looked like a very wholesome couple. She didn’t even take her bikini bottoms off.

She was lying on her stomach, and I was in her field of vision, maybe twenty feet from her, lying also on *my* stomach. And I started to get an erection, naturally. I am not so bold as to walk along the beach sporting a hardon—I’d be mortified!!—but since she seemed to be looking my way, while her boyfriend was not, I semi-subtly rolled slightly to one side, giving her an unmistakeable (yet not “in your face”) view of my erect penis. And she looked and looked and looked at it. I know this because our eyes met and we exchanged smiles.

Loved it in the sauna

In college I was traveling with a group of friends and went to some beaches in Europe. The topless Europeans triggered many boners among the guys, and the girls in our group laughed and teased us. To hide it we would either go into the water or lay face down on our towels. Every minute or two one of the girls would mention loud enough for just our group to hear, “Wow, check out her tits.” It was impossible to resist, and after a glance or two the boner would start to return and the girls would chuckle. The embarrassment of not being able to control it did nothing to reduce the erections. Neither did lying down with my erection pressed against the warm sand, eyes closed, thinking about all those topless women walking around me.

It happened to me a few times at the swimming pool, during PE class as a teenager. I don't recall reactions.

Few times at the beach or pool. It was almost universally a joking / teasing reaction.

@Hookajoe - what an amazing experience. I wouldn’t even have managed to keep it down just being nude around the girls in the group. And being teased by them for having a boner? It would’ve stayed stiff for the next three days!

I guess everyone’s wired differently. But there was no sexual vibe between you and any of your female friends who saw your erection? Were they attractive? That wouldn’t have mattered to my cock, but I wonder if there was just no attraction there between any of you?

I would have been insanely embarrassed if this happened to me and honestly I don't know how it didint happen with all the sexy bodies around me!

It happened few times on the beach when I was 18 or 19, women reacted either by laughing or smiling, some had disapproving look and one literally came to me and asked me to cover myself, instantly red face 🥵 for me.

This happened at Harbin Hot Springs, a clothing optional hot spring. I was doing fine until an absolutely gorgeous woman got in the pool. I hot hard and it was obvious I was excited. I got stares, and laughs, very embarrassing.

@MDausmic To clarify, it was a topless beach, and we were all wearing bottoms. The site of our erections was really just the site of awkward protruding bulges in our swim trunks. Even so, it was tremendously embarrassing because we could not control it, and it was giving away the true size and shape of what we were endowed with. There was always some sexual tension in the group, fueled by flirting and the adventurous risk taking of college age. Most of the women in our group were bold in baring their breasts at the beach, and it was clear to everyone that they had earned the respect and admiration of us for doing so. It was exciting to see them bare that way, but it did not reallly escalate the sexual attraction between us in the moment. It mostly reinforced that the women were stronger and braver, and us guys were easily embarrassed and insecure. Looking back at it all, some of the women may have found that exciting, but at the time us guys all felt we had been knocked down a few rungs on the cool ladder.

While we did not directly talk about it, it did leave us all with a more intimate understanding of each other. From then on, whenever you looked at one of the guys you knew if they had a lot or a little to work with in the bedroom. You also knew what the women’s’ bare breast looked like. I have always enjoyed discovering the shape and color of a woman’s nipples and areolas. I think it was pretty fair trade to have my erect silhouette displayed in exchange for a view of their breasts. We all still had some mysteries yet to be discovered.

Awesome answer, @Hookajoe!! I envy you your finding yourself in that situation. I might have wondered if I could detect any arousal among the women, at exposing their breasts to their friends. And I would’ve been watchful - despite supreme embarrassment - for any perceived flirtatious eye-contact between any of the teasing girl friends and myself, over my erection. In short, did you make it with any of them?

My closest similar experience was on the beach in Italy with my girlfriend. She had on a white bikini and was self-conscious that her nipples would show if she got wet. And I’d showered alongside a gorgeous topless young woman at the outdoor beach shower there. (No erection, because I was so in love with my girlfriend. But I can still picture the young woman’s perfect breasts.) It was a real case of sensory overload, an amazing day for me. My girlfriend and I had only just become lovers, and when we got home we showered together and then, blissfully, we fucked. A memorable day - I’d only just lost my virginity to her a few weeks prior.
