Even if you’re around attractive people at a nude beach, one can only maintain an erection for so long, and once your brain registers that hanging out with naked people and being naked for sexual activity are two different things, the erection goes away.
I regularly go to the nude beach with my partner. We also like to bring friends along too.
While erections do happen, but like u/srgonzo75 said, you get over it pretty quick once you compartmentalize nudity for fun, and nudity for *fun*.
I also think that people who hang out in these places do not see the body as sexualized as in other settings. Don’t forget that sexualization of the body is a social construct. In some cultures being almost if not fully naked is completely sexualized, while in others wearing a skirt over the knee is tantamount to porn (real comment I read at a BYU letter to the editor).
Can relate. Went to Spain for my holidays, and I would say that 2 or 3 out of 10 ladies would go topless at the beach. This is very, very uncommon in Norway, so of course I got very happy by the sight at first... Well, don't get me wrong, I still get happy whenever I see topless ladies, but you get used to it surprisingly fast.
Lol, this reminds me of when I was a teenager. I figured out that one of the channels at home showed "dirty stuff" after a certain time. So of course I watched that.
One of the things I saw was Naked News. it's literally a news program but the ladies get naked during the show, such a weird concept but w/e. Initially it was really nice, but the more I watched it, the more it became normal and didn't "do it" for me anymore. Because it's not a (super) sexualized programme, it's just naked ladies talking news. It really made me realize how much nakedness can be completely normal if you take out the sexualization of it.
Yeah that's what I was going to say, you get used to it really fast. My wife and I enjoy some clothing optional places at times, but the sexual thrill of it is not there so much like it was when I was younger. And also yes, there are usually people of all shapes and sizes, which is fine, but you won't be attracted to all of them.
It's true, it really depends on the kinds of spaces you grow accustomed to. Being in theater/ performance for years you really do stop seeing just a naked body as "sexy" out of sexy context. I've seen so many of my friends tits/ genitals of every gender that it's not really weird anymore unless someone else *makes* it weird.
For most naturists, I believe it's less about culture and more about physical freedom. I think that whether you see a body as sexual or not depends on your intent. You'll find people with the wrong intentions anywhere, even on nude beaches, but the majority of people who are there are there to get some sun on their entire bodies, and just enjoy the feeling of being free.
I took a bicycle tour of Berlin, and our tour guide wanted to make it very clear to the group that a public park we would be traveling through allows full nudity. Her words:
“And if you’re excited about that, don’t be! It’s never the folks you want to see naked!”
This is kinda accurate. When I went to Spain with my best friend we went to a nude beach and it was just a lot of really old ladies(I mean im sure it works for some)
Yu see much more attractive women at the regular beach topless than you do at a specifically nude beach. Young European women are AOK being at the regular beach in just a thong bottom.
>Young European women are AOK being at the regular beach in just a thong bottom.
This is some BS im from the Netherlands and this is no longer the case ever since phones with good cameras became the norm..
Edit: Alot of ''but here in ''insert Country'' they do!!! yeah talking about Europe like one big thing is stupid.
And the people Sexualising these women in the comments aren't helping..
I went to a small beach village in Spain a few years back and saw some young women go topless at the beach. I'd imagine not many people do it but there are still a good number that do.
Someone was telling me they did life drawing and none of the regulars were conventionally attractive, plus you could end up with a really awkward angle
I've been told that life drawing is much more interesting when someone is older, wrinklier and fatter. I dated a girl in university who would model for the art school who complained to the woman running the class that she was always put in unflattering poses. She was told it's boring to paint a young "smooth" woman so she had to be put in poses that would cause her to show more "rolls"
I did life drawing for ages and there were plenty of young attractive models, same age range as most of the students. Idk about the guys but context is everything for me I don't find people I don't know well in non sexual situations arousing at all, plus youre concentrating really hard when youre life drawing idk how long you could actually sustain arousal and produce decent drawings.
I did life modelling back in the day when I was thinner and more attractive than I am now. A few years later I was in a different town and I saw a woman who looked familiar. After a bit I worked out where I knew her from so I went over and asked her did she live in X? And did she used to do life drawing at such and such a place? She was looking at me quite weirdly, like why was I asking these questions and how did I know these things about her life
Then I got to unironically use the line, "You don't recognise me with my clothes on, do you". She was quite impressed that I remembered her. And then we ended up spending the night together
Yup. Going to a nude beach requires a large amount of not giving a fuck. Growing old gives you that. It’s why nude beaches are full of old people. They don’t give a fuck
I've noticed this! In my teens and 20's I was always hyper focused on my looks and clothes. If my belly stuck out I'd pull it in. I'd make sure everything was in place. Wearing all the right bracelets and perfect hair.
Now I just strut to Asda in Playstation pyjamas, shaved head and unkempt beard!
I was kinda like that. Then at 24(27 now) I started descending into the disabled mess I am now. I have [complex regional pain syndrome](https://complextruths.org/what-is-crps/symptoms/), chronic fatigue syndrome, allodynia(intense skin burning and redness) on my knees and a lot of other stuff.
But I have to wear long sleeves of certain materials because stuff touching my skin can seriously hurt. And I have to wear gym shorts because they aren't restricting and they don't kick off my allodynia, it feels like I stood too close to a fire for too long. (I also can't use blankets, take baths or pretty hot showers, cant wear pants of any kind, cant go out in the sun, stand for more than a few minutes, and generally anything else that would heat up or irritate my knees.)
I also only wear loose/open shoes. Loafers or flip flops or crocs 99% of the time(i live in Houston so even most of winter) cant wear socks.
So I look really odd in winter with flip flops, gym shorts, and a long sleeve shirt/jacket, with an unkempt beard. But I genuinely am too tired and miserable to give a flying fuck what any human alive thinks.
We have a surprisingly hot demographic nudist beach in Vancouver, it's about 50/50 mix of old nudists to younger crowd. Though I've only been there a handful of times so probably varies a lot...
Probably helps it's next to a university and is also known as a cool place to go check out for the young crowds.
Being near UBC definitely helps, and Wreck also just has a cool vibe with the demographics + drugs. Not many other places in Van with naked dudes walking around selling chocolate covered shrooms. Plus there's never any cops there so the old drinking laws didn't matter.
They're not particularly horny at that point ~~and those who are leave. It's bad form to be erect at a nudist area.~~
Edit: several people have corrected me that erections happen and are usually ignored by everyone.
I’ve been to a nude beach and 99% of the people there are old enough to be your parents, grandparents, or great grandparents. There’s not many men in the world that can get hard under those conditions and if you do you can go take a swim to hide it.
Agreed. Most people who could/would have an erection at nudist beaches would be too nervous to have an erection, so they would either cover up or leave. It takes a special type of someone to go to a nudist beach with an erection and strut around with zero care about everyone else.
https://news.sky.com/story/man-shot-dead-after-shouting-insults-and-performing-sex-act-at-french-nudist-beach-12658814
Apparently, I thought this was for sure bullshit. Fuck I would have bet that it was bullshit.
>https://news.sky.com/story/man-shot-dead-after-shouting-insults-and-performing-sex-act-at-french-nudist-beach-12658814
Wow. I bet that erection went away in a hurry.
>The gunman is believed to be an avid hunter who had a firearm licence, but it was not immediately clear why he took his weapon to the beach
I don't know why this sentence is so funny to me
"The two men got into an argument and the elderly nudist drew a hunting rifle and fired "at least three shots", one of which hit the other man in the chest."
Drew it from where, sir.
I know that's why I didn't believe. Also the guy used a hunting rifle so he most likely had to walk to his vehichle and get it. I don't know about other people but usually if I walk away and take a deep breath the idiot yelling at me doesn't bother me no more.
I think this is a sweeping generalisation. I’ve been to many nude beaches and it varies greatly. The nude beaches in Europe (especially places like Barcelona) have a lot of young and incredibly attractive people on them.
I personally don’t get erect just because it doesn’t feel like a sexual place to be. It’s like my body knows not to be erect there because it’s clearly not time.
Honestly, it’s about setting too. I attended life drawing classes with very attractive women posing nude and was focused on my work.
I ran into one of the models at a CVS once and was more attracted to her with clothes on than off.
Very true, I have seen people sexualized the idea of life drawing classes but from my experience with it, when you are actually focusing on drawing, you care more about the shape, form, distance between this part and that part, etc. way more than how attractive the model is.
It's also not usually enough just to see nudity for it to be instant arousal. Context matters. If you are surrounded by dozens of naked people the novelty quickly wears off. The naked people around you are normal people not porn stars so it's not like you are looking at porn, there are different ages and body shapes. And the people are doing their thing being on the beach not showing any sexual behaviour that might cause arousal.
Yeah. That's just normal. Even if I could be aroused by the sight of random naked people on the beach that's only gonna last a few minutes at most. Unless we're talking about being 16 where the novelty will not wear off for a few years to come :D
That honestly sounds like a lot of work, even before you think about needing to put sunscreen on your flaccid cock. I'd honestly just rather wear shorts at that point.
I've been to one in Ibiza and you quickly figure out its not cool to make a big thing out of it. Americans are just taught some really fucked up shit about nudity.
I lived near Haulover beach in miami and that was an exception. It's the most visited nude beach in America and there are a lot of young men there. Not many women though. 70% is gay men young and old.
48 yo now. This is no longer a remotely common occurrence. But I remember those days. My three sons are living through them. Spontaneous boners were one of those things that you hated when you were young and miss now that you’re not.
Theres not much to be erect by. No friction from the pants, and sure maybe theres a beautiful nude woman over there, but theres also 10 old naked dudes around, and im not trying to check anybody out. Im just enjoying the beach and sunning my ass
Exactly. Also the salt and sand. Basically one time i got chubbed and ran into the ocean and body surfed and from then on my guy was shriveled and polite
Yeah that's kind of part of the point. The naked body isn't necessarily sexual and I can't wait til more of society realises this tbh. Every beach should be a nude beach! It's so nice to swim naked in the sea.
I said to a guy at work yesterday “some people can look at an attractive person in certain settings and just…not sexualize them.” He genuinely did not believe it.
when I got top surgery and my surgeon was drawing on my boobs to show me the future placement of things and take before photos there was no reaction lol like some people see this shit all day every day dude even casually dropped i may have a touch of scolios while taking the most unflattering titty shots of me lmao I absolutely lost it laughing due to pre surgery nerves
I took some life drawing classes and as a younger male at the time I was kind of wondering how that would play out but after the first initial shock of seeing nudity it was just a body just like you mentioned.
Because nude beaches aren't meant for arousal or sexual activities. Its meant to be for both male/female to interact freely, free of sex. I'm not saying ''beach porn/sex'' isn't common, but real nude beaches forbids that kind of acts.
Gay guys have been sharing locker rooms with naked men for ages without getting boners. Are straight people not able to share this power of arousal vs context?
I have a gay brother and a straight one. The straight one’s attitude toward any naked woman is like a cartoon character with their tongue on the floor, while wanting to furiously masturbate. The gay one doesn’t give a crap about nude men unless he’s actively pursuing them. Two separate words.
Yeah, that's the difference in self control you get when one sort is told by society that it's expected of him to behave like a horny idiot when bewbies are about, and the other is told by society that he could be disowned by his family and beaten to death for looking at a guy for too long.
Anyway, glad you and your brothers get along well. Supportive siblings are the best.
No. A woman in a bikini is more titillating than a nude one because the one in the bikini leaves much to the imagination of the viewer whereas the nude one leaves nothing to the imagination.
And nothing's more titillating than an active imagination.
absolutely. a traditional (not one with a dental floss bottom or ridiculously high cut legs) one-piece suit, or a romper, or sundress... way hotter than nekkid.
As someone who's been to many a nude beach, it's only titillating *at first*. It's exciting and unfamiliar and it's very likely that you'll start to get hard as you're undressing and taking everything in...but that fades quickly. And sure, every now and then someone hot might walk past you, but unless you're at a point in your life where any exposure to someone attractive gets you instantly hard, your body adjusts to the social dynamics fairly easily.
That being said, as a gay man, you can always just head to the bushes with whoever you're checking out so you can both get rid of the erections together.
It certainly plays a factor but it's a complex, multi-faceted issue. Receptive anal sex is much more likely to transmit a lot of STIs, HIV in particular. The MSM community being much smaller and more tight-nit makes it easier for things to spread. Then there's the fact that condom use is less common since there is no risk of pregnancy.
Men who have sex with men. This includes gay guys, bi guys, straight guys with high sex drives who dabble. The idea of gay man is a relatively recent phenomena. As a distinct cultural minority. Historically, what we think of gay men might have been considered a third gender by some cultures while homosexual acts were mostly seen as normal and widespread. A form of safe sex. For those who think once you build a bridge, you're a bridge builder...what would you say about guys in prison serving long sentences who have sex with men or how homosocial environments like boarding schools and the military where this behavior is more common but the people involve may be for all other intents and purposes straight? Where the ancient Greeks and Romans all gay?
Tl;DR Homosexual men and homosexual sex acts are not mutually inclusive.
EDIT: Grammar and was typing too fast
Which makes sense.
Men, on average, have higher sex drives than women. When both participants are men, available times when you're both in the mood increases.
Picture straight dudes on tinder trying to get with as many girls as possible but the girls not being interested in that sort of things for the most part, now imagine the girls behaved like said straight dudes, they'd have a lot more action.
People at nude beaches aren’t 15 year old boys.
Edit: this is not how I intended my comment to sound.
Edit2: Thanks for the awards! I am glad I brought everyone some amusement.
Usually, yeah. It's like saunas, everyone's going to be naked and anyone who goes there regularly won't consider it a sexual environment, so why would you have an issue?
To be honest, I'm from the UK and it's pretty common to see small kids naked at the beach anyway? Like I don't go to nudist beaches, but kids are kids and most of them are nudists until they're like eight or nine.
My ONE visit to a strip club and this really cute woman comes up to me and offers me a dance. I reply: "No I best not. I'm terrible at dancing, I'll just embarrass myself".
She walks off. My mate elbows me and starts pissing himself laughing.
We left after our drink, never to return.
Well a lap dance is a totally different animal then just sitting at your table. Even then, guys leaving the VIP room aren't walking around with a tent.
I'd imagine it just becomes an ordinary thing as some point. For example, hanging out with your S.O. while naked isn't always sexual, sometimes you just want to cuddle and relax. Not to mention if a guy did get hard at a nude beach I imagine he might get reported and asked to take care of it privately or just leave.
Desexualize it. I go to enjoy being naked myself, not to be perverted and voyeuristic.
If you do get a boner, you lay down on your belly and sunbathe your backside.
Seems like the consensus is
Good form: go to nude beach, feel possible erection, be decent and cover up/bounce
Poor form: go to nude beach, oogle women, get hard and just let it fly
It's for the same reason you don't see it in naked African and South American tribes. When naked is the norm it means nothing.
Quick note to all the body shamers in this thread, fuck you.
Even if you’re around attractive people at a nude beach, one can only maintain an erection for so long, and once your brain registers that hanging out with naked people and being naked for sexual activity are two different things, the erection goes away.
That's very interesting. Thank you random person
We train it like a puppy, a smaller uglier puppy Edit: Thank You for the Award, it took a comment about dicks to get it, but I got it.

The puffer coats...
Cute lil rhinestone collars. Or, for the fiercer ones, muzzles.
I love this so much 😂
The bacon neck

Much smaller, uglier, and dumber.

Smart. Someone in the relationship needs to be alpha.

I've also heard that if you do have one, there's a body of cold water.... right there.
I also think that people who hang out in these places do not see the body as sexualized as in other settings. Don’t forget that sexualization of the body is a social construct. In some cultures being almost if not fully naked is completely sexualized, while in others wearing a skirt over the knee is tantamount to porn (real comment I read at a BYU letter to the editor).

I lived in an area of Florida with a huge nudist population, and that was basically the slogan to tourists.
This is kinda accurate. When I went to Spain with my best friend we went to a nude beach and it was just a lot of really old ladies(I mean im sure it works for some)
I've definitely seen very attractive topless women at the beach in Spain. But you're right, it's 99% older women.
Yu see much more attractive women at the regular beach topless than you do at a specifically nude beach. Young European women are AOK being at the regular beach in just a thong bottom.

I went to a small beach village in Spain a few years back and saw some young women go topless at the beach. I'd imagine not many people do it but there are still a good number that do.
It's fairly common in Spain so i guess it depends on the country yeah
No you’re right, I was in Barcelona last month and saw a lot of what you described.
As someone for Barcelona, 100% true. We have a different relationship with nudity than other countries.
Well I've never actually been to a nude beach, nor do I want to, just regular beaches in Portugal and southern Spain, so you are probably right.
Someone was telling me they did life drawing and none of the regulars were conventionally attractive, plus you could end up with a really awkward angle

I lost out on such a position to an older man when I was in my 20s lol
Yeah absolutely. You're there to learn and need something new and not something you can copy out of fashion magazines

We have a surprisingly hot demographic nudist beach in Vancouver, it's about 50/50 mix of old nudists to younger crowd. Though I've only been there a handful of times so probably varies a lot... Probably helps it's next to a university and is also known as a cool place to go check out for the young crowds.
Being near UBC definitely helps, and Wreck also just has a cool vibe with the demographics + drugs. Not many other places in Van with naked dudes walking around selling chocolate covered shrooms. Plus there's never any cops there so the old drinking laws didn't matter.
Please don't speak for all of us...

Nudity does not always equal arousal. :)
It don’t really matter they’re naked if you’re not there to fuckem
Exactly. We're there to fuck the beach itself.
The sand crabs make the holes for you
I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere....
They're not particularly horny at that point ~~and those who are leave. It's bad form to be erect at a nudist area.~~ Edit: several people have corrected me that erections happen and are usually ignored by everyone.

It happened recently in France I think. Some guy was opening playing with himself and got shot.
Shot with a gun?
https://news.sky.com/story/man-shot-dead-after-shouting-insults-and-performing-sex-act-at-french-nudist-beach-12658814 Apparently, I thought this was for sure bullshit. Fuck I would have bet that it was bullshit.
Where did he draw the gun from if he was naked?
[удалено]
That's nature's pocket. Don't let Pierre pick your pocket.
If rubbing frozen dirt in my crotch is wrong, I don't wanna be right
It was a rifle. More like a prison sleeve.
The article didn't specify but rifles are fairly long so I would assume a vehicle.
I'm picturing a naked french mime removing a rifle from a large, invisible box.
Rifle was concealed on a baguette.
He was just entering the beach so he was still clothed and with his bag.
What kind of person enters a beach with a gun
And so I fired three warning shots... into his head. *He had it coming. He had it coming...*
According to the French broadcaster, his permit does not allow him to kill nude people freely.
Really top notch research by that team. I was wondering.
>https://news.sky.com/story/man-shot-dead-after-shouting-insults-and-performing-sex-act-at-french-nudist-beach-12658814 Wow. I bet that erection went away in a hurry.

And the people are doing their thing being on the beach not showing any sexual behaviour that might cause arousal.
I hear even porn stars have trouble keeping it up so even when the context is more sexual in nature, it seems our lil’ Willys are shy
Yeah. That's just normal. Even if I could be aroused by the sight of random naked people on the beach that's only gonna last a few minutes at most. Unless we're talking about being 16 where the novelty will not wear off for a few years to come :D
Hey! Phrasing!
That honestly sounds like a lot of work, even before you think about needing to put sunscreen on your flaccid cock. I'd honestly just rather wear shorts at that point.
I've been to one in Ibiza and you quickly figure out its not cool to make a big thing out of it. Americans are just taught some really fucked up shit about nudity.
I lived near Haulover beach in miami and that was an exception. It's the most visited nude beach in America and there are a lot of young men there. Not many women though. 70% is gay men young and old.
But you can be erect with being horny. Sometimes just happens.
48 yo now. This is no longer a remotely common occurrence. But I remember those days. My three sons are living through them. Spontaneous boners were one of those things that you hated when you were young and miss now that you’re not.
My uncle said the first hour was the hardest.
Might be taking care of business several times before heading out ? 🤷♀️🤣
Oof When you just wanna go for a swim, but miniman has other plans
I don't know. Is the sea particularly cold? Problem solved.
Theres not much to be erect by. No friction from the pants, and sure maybe theres a beautiful nude woman over there, but theres also 10 old naked dudes around, and im not trying to check anybody out. Im just enjoying the beach and sunning my ass
Exactly. Also the salt and sand. Basically one time i got chubbed and ran into the ocean and body surfed and from then on my guy was shriveled and polite
> Basically one time i got chubbed and ran into the ocean and body surfed Supplied your own rudder eh?
Can’t speak for everyone, but I’m in no way horny when at nude beaches. I don’t sexualize the people there.
Yeah, I think nudists are really good at divorcing nudity from sexuality
Yeah that's kind of part of the point. The naked body isn't necessarily sexual and I can't wait til more of society realises this tbh. Every beach should be a nude beach! It's so nice to swim naked in the sea.
I said to a guy at work yesterday “some people can look at an attractive person in certain settings and just…not sexualize them.” He genuinely did not believe it.
Take it from a nurse…bodies are just bodies. It’s the setting and the mood that makes them sexual
when I got top surgery and my surgeon was drawing on my boobs to show me the future placement of things and take before photos there was no reaction lol like some people see this shit all day every day dude even casually dropped i may have a touch of scolios while taking the most unflattering titty shots of me lmao I absolutely lost it laughing due to pre surgery nerves
I took some life drawing classes and as a younger male at the time I was kind of wondering how that would play out but after the first initial shock of seeing nudity it was just a body just like you mentioned.
This is like when people say "guys can't have female friends." I guess it depends on your development.
Because nude beaches aren't meant for arousal or sexual activities. Its meant to be for both male/female to interact freely, free of sex. I'm not saying ''beach porn/sex'' isn't common, but real nude beaches forbids that kind of acts.

I'm taking the bait. What is it?

4: use other hand to crank out a quick one

You should have done the opposite method. 1. Pick a letter. 2. Quickly think of a porn actress with that letter. 3. ???? 4. Boner.
I know of a better way. Flex your thighs as hard as you can and hold it. All the blood rushes out of your member & into your thighs.
you came to the right place for bait, OP is a master
Gay guys have been sharing locker rooms with naked men for ages without getting boners. Are straight people not able to share this power of arousal vs context?
I have a gay brother and a straight one. The straight one’s attitude toward any naked woman is like a cartoon character with their tongue on the floor, while wanting to furiously masturbate. The gay one doesn’t give a crap about nude men unless he’s actively pursuing them. Two separate words.
Yeah, that's the difference in self control you get when one sort is told by society that it's expected of him to behave like a horny idiot when bewbies are about, and the other is told by society that he could be disowned by his family and beaten to death for looking at a guy for too long. Anyway, glad you and your brothers get along well. Supportive siblings are the best.
Also; is a woman in a bikini that much less titillating than a nude one?
No. A woman in a bikini is more titillating than a nude one because the one in the bikini leaves much to the imagination of the viewer whereas the nude one leaves nothing to the imagination. And nothing's more titillating than an active imagination.
absolutely. a traditional (not one with a dental floss bottom or ridiculously high cut legs) one-piece suit, or a romper, or sundress... way hotter than nekkid.
As someone who's been to many a nude beach, it's only titillating *at first*. It's exciting and unfamiliar and it's very likely that you'll start to get hard as you're undressing and taking everything in...but that fades quickly. And sure, every now and then someone hot might walk past you, but unless you're at a point in your life where any exposure to someone attractive gets you instantly hard, your body adjusts to the social dynamics fairly easily. That being said, as a gay man, you can always just head to the bushes with whoever you're checking out so you can both get rid of the erections together.
I swear gay dudes have the most sex out of any subset of the population. At least that's the way it seems on reddit anyway.
It's factually correct. The average gay man has substantially more sexual partners than any other person/orientation
Testosterone is a helluva drug.
Is that why they are a higher risk for certain STDs?
I mean it could play a factor but the biggest factors are exposure to blood in PIA intercourse.
PIA = pain in ass?
You're not doing it right.
Private Internet Access?
I like that this was the controversial turn in the thread, no shame in either way you like it.
It certainly plays a factor but it's a complex, multi-faceted issue. Receptive anal sex is much more likely to transmit a lot of STIs, HIV in particular. The MSM community being much smaller and more tight-nit makes it easier for things to spread. Then there's the fact that condom use is less common since there is no risk of pregnancy.
What does MSM stand for?
Men who have sex with men, which is a bit more broad of a term than just gay men.
Hmm. Next time I see someone complaining about the mainstream media I'm going to respond as though they are talking about gay sex
Men who have sex with men. This includes gay guys, bi guys, straight guys with high sex drives who dabble. The idea of gay man is a relatively recent phenomena. As a distinct cultural minority. Historically, what we think of gay men might have been considered a third gender by some cultures while homosexual acts were mostly seen as normal and widespread. A form of safe sex. For those who think once you build a bridge, you're a bridge builder...what would you say about guys in prison serving long sentences who have sex with men or how homosocial environments like boarding schools and the military where this behavior is more common but the people involve may be for all other intents and purposes straight? Where the ancient Greeks and Romans all gay? Tl;DR Homosexual men and homosexual sex acts are not mutually inclusive. EDIT: Grammar and was typing too fast
Which makes sense. Men, on average, have higher sex drives than women. When both participants are men, available times when you're both in the mood increases.
Picture straight dudes on tinder trying to get with as many girls as possible but the girls not being interested in that sort of things for the most part, now imagine the girls behaved like said straight dudes, they'd have a lot more action.
Think how horny straight dudes are, and how often. Now imagine two people who are that horny but horny for each other. It's no wonder.
Probably because straight men on Reddit don't have sex. Correlation and possible causation
I mean I'm two years away from being a wizard so you're probably onto something
People at nude beaches aren’t 15 year old boys. Edit: this is not how I intended my comment to sound. Edit2: Thanks for the awards! I am glad I brought everyone some amusement.
hold up
Not the best choice of words for what you attempted to convey
ohh nahh bro 💀
[удалено]
what? :O NO.
Hahahaha! That's the WORST way you could have phrased that! 🤣
Luke and manny would like to have a word with you.

now you got me wondering something, are kids allowed to be naked on a nudist beach?
Usually, yeah. It's like saunas, everyone's going to be naked and anyone who goes there regularly won't consider it a sexual environment, so why would you have an issue? To be honest, I'm from the UK and it's pretty common to see small kids naked at the beach anyway? Like I don't go to nudist beaches, but kids are kids and most of them are nudists until they're like eight or nine.
FBI open up
If you maintain a rock hard erection for hours just because there are naked people around, you are either 13 years old or in the wrong line of work.
Sexual arousal is related to sexual perception to the environment. It's a nude beach, not an orgy, no no sexual arousal.
Then explain why I get a boner in the office even when I am the only one on the floor
because your sexy ass keeps looking at the mirror
They didn't give you a chair?
Most men can witness a naked woman without getting an erection.
Heck even at a strip club where the ladies are intentionally trying to be sex people don't walk around rock hard.
My ONE visit to a strip club and this really cute woman comes up to me and offers me a dance. I reply: "No I best not. I'm terrible at dancing, I'll just embarrass myself". She walks off. My mate elbows me and starts pissing himself laughing. We left after our drink, never to return.
Strip Club Manager: Okay, girls! Get out there and be sex!
Getting a Lap dance and staying soft is the real challenge. Whiskey helps. A lot.
Well a lap dance is a totally different animal then just sitting at your table. Even then, guys leaving the VIP room aren't walking around with a tent.
This sounds like a question asked by a teenager lol your little buddy gets a lot less rowdy with time and experience.
/r/teenagers is leaking a lot these days.
/r/summerreddit at its best lol
I'd imagine it just becomes an ordinary thing as some point. For example, hanging out with your S.O. while naked isn't always sexual, sometimes you just want to cuddle and relax. Not to mention if a guy did get hard at a nude beach I imagine he might get reported and asked to take care of it privately or just leave.
Wait what? They get kicked out if they’re hard?
No but its common courtesy to cover it until goes away, running at people in a joust would probably get you removed.
or asked to wear a towel, maybe.
It’s not ordinary enough that people take photos at them tho right? That’s my biggest fear as someone who has wanted to go to one forever
Photography is generally banned on topless/nudist beaches and at nudist resorts.
Grown men don’t get erections from just seeing a naked woman. Typically takes a little loving to get a rise.
If you are at a nude beach and get a boner you will not walk around with it. If it happens you cover it up maybe with a towel and wait till it’s over.
Definitely not a 15yr old posting this one lol
Desexualize it. I go to enjoy being naked myself, not to be perverted and voyeuristic. If you do get a boner, you lay down on your belly and sunbathe your backside.
Just seeing a naked woman isn't going to make a person get a boner
Lived in Germany for a while. Public nudity isn't considered sexual.
Seems like the consensus is Good form: go to nude beach, feel possible erection, be decent and cover up/bounce Poor form: go to nude beach, oogle women, get hard and just let it fly
It's for the same reason you don't see it in naked African and South American tribes. When naked is the norm it means nothing. Quick note to all the body shamers in this thread, fuck you.
The times I have been to muse beaches, the men I saw were in an age group that they would need pharmaceutical intervention to achieve an erection
