Is it ok to get an erection on nude beach or in sauna?

In a mixed sauna or on a nude beach: is it ok to get a hard-on?

I mean, women must realize that this temporary shift of blood volume is due to their nude presence. I still suppose most will strongly disapprove...

Still many men, I guess, would probably have a hard time keeping it down and I myself would die from embarrassment once it starts growing. Major reason not to visit nude beaches or a mixed sauna.

Imho - it is completely natural & normal to get a hard-on. But in most public nude situations I've been in, it would be completely unacceptable to flaunt your erection, strut around, or stroke yourself.

I've been to many nudist resorts, and everyone brings at least one towel to the pool, sauna, hot tub, etc. If you feel yourself getting a boner, then coverup, jump in the pool, or turn over (if you're sunning on your back). It's happened to me, & probably to most guys.

If you haven't tried a nudist resort, you really ought to. The public nakedness is not lewd or crude, but a genuine enjoyment of being clothes-free.

Used to belong to a health club and would go in the steam room after a workout, carrying only a towel. I invariably got an erection in the steam room. I'd try to wait it out but the heat would get to me. The door from the steam room opened to the hot pool, where there were always several guys. The towel rack was to the right and the shower adjacent to the steam room door. Would do my best to face the wall so they couldn't see my erection, staying under the shower until it went down. Never saw any guys there with an erection

Not ok. My mind tends to wonder, I spent most of my days in class with a wondering mind and an erection... A draw back for being male... sometimes

Definitely not ok. If it happened you need to cover up.

Most places I know or have been, you're expected to cover it.

I personally liked Just Al's idea to quickly jump into a pool. Just hoping that noone notices me on the way and the temperature is 3 inches - ehh, 3°C I mean.

I agree, it is not cool to have a hard on in a nudist setting. Cover up or take it inside.

Strangely enough I can get a hard-on thinking about nude people around me. But I go to a sauna often and we're about 6 weeks nude in summer on naturists beaches and campgrounds. We make love 3-4 times a week. And I have never had a hard-on in public because being nude is perhaps less exciting then smart cut bikini's .

While I'm sure it occurs from time to time with newbies, in all my years of nude recreation I have yet to see the first full blown erection. Should it happen, act appropriately.

I agree with other posters - its pretty natural when you are starting your nudist experience but to prevent accidential misanderstending it can be easily covered...

Erections do happen and if you get one naturally is should not be an issue.

"Natural erection" sounds pretty normal and innocent, I suppose.

But up to today reading your post I thought that in principle all erections are natural?!

What would an "unnatural erection" be?

From everything I have ever read about this topic, and from the very few occasions I have been exposed to such things, being a nudist doesn't really have anything to do with sex. Which is why, people in nudist camps don't usually have this problem.

Again, from what I have read and come to understand, wanting to be nude and a nudist is a lifestyle choice. It's about freedom to be completely open and who you are as a person.

I know the few times I have been around others, and actually it was even in a med fet situation, a few of us were naked together and all of us were quite comfortable. No one was erect. Actually, to be 100 percent honest with you, it was quite nice, and not sure this is a word or not, but quite freeing to be able to stand around totally naked, in front of both sexes and having intelligent conversations.

Erections happen, with clothes or without. Since I do not have a penis I can't even begin to fathom what triggers them, and how you untrigger them. I know for some younger guys, the old addage is, "if the wind blows too hard" they get an erection. I also think age in general in a nudist type of place would also have a lot to do with it as well.

But again, from what I read, I would assume that having an erection while at a place like that would be bad form, especially if the man was being inappropriate, because as I said earlier, being a nudist isn't and doesn't have anything to do with sex.

Sex and nudity do not often go together in a nudist environment - Getting erect in that situation is rare unless you are in that situation looking for sex

If it should happen, guess it could, you just cover it with a towel. That is protacol with all clubs. I personally have never seen a boner at the clubs I have visited over the years.

Do woman go reaching for towels when their nipples get hard?

Hell more and more it is not that uncommon to see tampon strings hanging out of women at nude venues.

It's all part of being human

So, if you pop a boner, you pop a boner. Get over it. The world will not come to an end. If it bothers you and you have a means to cover it, go ahead and cover it. If not, don't advertise it, and it will subside. Trust me you are not the only person this has ever happened to, you won't be the last, and it is not the end of the world.

Don't let your fear of of popping a boner keep you from trying nudest activities.

Totally agree with that. Unless it is someone is jacking off or something don't make big deal about it.

I am sure most people can control there erection feeling when in public.

Darn, I can't believe how much grief I have have gotten for getting a boner in a nudist situation. Unless one is dead it can happen. Geez get over it!!

It was the first time I went to this mixed sauna and I found there were only 5 men in the sauna. After about five minutes these two ladies , exceptionally beautiful, came as naked as the day they were born. Other men who were very familiar to this situation behaved as if nothing happened. But I got sudden erection, and I saw the two ladies were trying to hide their laughter. I was so embrassed.

I think you felt natural and all of a sudden forgot where you were. Don't worry about it, just keep thinking. It could be worse. Think if you couldn't get an erection.

I always say male nudists new to the scene stand out a mile on a nudist beach. lol

libretto - in answer to your question-getting an erection the first time on a nudist beach depends on how cold it is. If it's chilly enough, you probably wouldn't find it anyway.

I sometimes go to a nude beach and I always get a hard-on and I am not the only one. I think is natural, normal and healthy. No one complains.

An erection at the nude beach happens. The proper thing to do is either roll over on your stomache until it subsides or jump in the water for a bit. My first nude beach experience (Haulover Beach in South Florida) taught me the best cure for when "Little Willy" starts to get excited - Fat, Naked Men. :-)

Nudity doesn't have to lead to sexual arousal.

I have been to a nude beach near me many times and every time have ended up with an erection. I always roll over or go into the sea. I know it's natural but am not there to get turned on. I go as I love being naked out doors and worry that others would think I am only there to perv at other naked people. So I do my best to hide it but I do find it a turn on being nude outdoors.

That's not the reason I go. I just wish we had better weather, as I really want to go again but it's been non stop rain here this summer so far.

I have never been to a nude beach but I really like to being naked when I'm alone at home (even if it is rare). A nude beach could be an interesting experience maybe I'll try it sometime, but I think I would have an erection all the time LOL 😃

I saw something I thought weird at the time. On Haulover Beach in FL. there was a man tanning on his back, with an erection that pointed to his feet. I drew the attention of the regulars on the beach, those somewhat responsible for monitoring the activities. Haulover could lose it's "nude" status if there are complaints. Since this man was right at the portion of the beach where all the 'thru traffic' (those walking through the area on their way down the beach), they stopped and spoke with the erect man and asked that he cover up, or leave.

I have been to nude facilities many times and have never had an erection, even when I was eating a banana and a lady made a comment to me that I was the guy with a banana. Common sense dictated that I did not respond with "Actually two".

I can't speak for women, but I have to imagine that there are going to be some at the nude beach or resort that would welcome seeing as many men with erections as possible. After all, that is the ultimate sign that the man is virile and ready.

I have been to nude beaches and always go nude in the steam room at the gym. I have not seen an erection at the nude beach. Several times I have noticed that guys at the gym or in the steam room have gotten erections. Sometimes they try to make it less noticeable, other times they parade around not caring that it is showing. I dont care one way or another. I was ahowering once at the gym and a guy started stroking himself opposite me. He had a large hard on. I started to get hard, although I am straight. I finished my shower before I got a full hard on.
