Hmmm...The answer seems so obvious considering societal norms. In a utopian society, SBG, there wouldn't be a problem with males promenading down the promenade with erections and no one would care. As a male, I know I've become erect without being aroused. It sometimes happens after I get off my bicycle. It's a neurological event. However, I've never ever gotten even close to becoming erect at a nudist resort or nude beach. It's simply not what nudism/naturism is about. At least not for me. If I happen were to ever become erect, you bet your bottom dollar (or looney...That's for Kim) I would cover it up. It's simply a matter of respect for other's feeling's. I belong to a rather conservative family landed club and I'd be in deep trouble if I pranced around with a 'flag pole' (where the bjesus did I come up with that term!....Sheesh!)...Don't get me wrong here, erections can be a very good thing!
Sorry so long and wordy.

Referring to my classification, it seems to me that you are still talking about case 4. Accidental arousal in cases 2 and 3 is not "sporting an erection" from my point of view and has nothing to do with exhibitionism. BTW: How one can be an exhibitionist, whos aim is to shock other people with his nuduty, at a nude beach when eeverybody is already nude?

Bikeracer; Looney, lmao. Erections do serve a purpose, just not at the beach or club.

Hiya marpie! I'm afraid I'm an exhibitionist's worst nightmare. I don't shock easy and I most likely wouldn't even notice the 'exhibition' (unless it was a planned event with a woman friend doing the deed. Then I'd have trouble holding back my laughter at the voyeur's reactions). Yep Kim, I agree that erections do serve a purpose...Such as a place to hang a towel (I cracked up when I read your post regarding this).

The discussion topic is where do "stand" on male arousal, which means it is asking what your opinion of it, is.
To say that you are against it because you worry about what non-nudists think of it and that they may close a beach over it, is not what the topic is about. It is asking for your personal thoughts on the topic. Besides, how do non-nudists know if a guy on a nudist beach had an erection if they are not even there?
Also, this thing about it being a sign of aggression is ridiculous. I mean girls get aroused too, and it surely is not a sign of aggression let me tell you. I would think it's no different than what a guy feels.

Allright skinny blonde girl, I'll try again but before I do, must mention at the resort I belong to everyone carries a towel with them...To sit in the sauna, to sit on the furniture in the clubhouse, to sit in the restaurant, to dry off after going for a swim or into the hot tub, etc....Now I can only comment on MY male arousal and I love being in a state of arousal, and I thank my lucky stars I am in the state of arousal virtually as long as I want to be, whenever I want to be...I hope my partner will be the same way...As far as arousal vs. agression, well that depends! ...Now I hope everyone around doesn't batter me for saying I'm an aggressive person, because I'm not...I prefer the softer term 'Frisky'??

Sorry if this opinion repeats or ignores what some others have said... this post has gone on for so long I've had to skip forward a bit.
I think we've all been trying to discuss two separate issues and getting them both mixed up. I agree with SBG that the post started out as a simple query, and when asking for people's opinions, no one should be considered "wrong." An opinion is an opinion. Others may agree or disagree. A new discussion arose about etiquette, which is a different topic than the original question.
There is no question that "societal norms" expect males not to parade around with an erection. The irony I see here is that "societal norms" really emanate from our culture. The so-called "textile" culture expects males and females to keep certain parts of the body covered at all times. Naturist culture, at least in the USA, does not mind if all body parts uncovered, but still has its apprehensions about male erections, and expects everyone to carry towels at all times.
So, in some ways, the textile and naturist worlds are similar. Both have their rules. I like the idea of a Utopian culture -- no rules about conduct that does not harm others. Live and let live. Which is why I like Playalinda Beach in FL. Once you get away from the marked beaches, can walk for hours and encounter no one. Can leave all clothes at the C/O beach, even your towel, and sally forth with just your smile. Now that's naturism in its most natural state.
Grin & bare it ;)

Female nipples go erect, sometimes because of sexual feelings and sometimes for no reason. Erect nipples have a sexual connotation to them comparable to a penal erection.
It would be just as rude for a male to try to equate a female's erect nipples with aggression or criminal intent or to blame females with erect nipples as the cause of legislators trying to ban nudist colonies. Even if every nudist colony in the U.S. was erection-free, people like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson would still be trying to close them down.
It's also rude to immediately assume that a woman with erect nipples is flaunting, boasting, parading, or promenading them for ego or sexual purposes.
Look at it from this off-center view:
Females should be able to excercise some control over their nipples because erect nipples are offensive to others. If they can't control it, they should cover up their nipples when they go erect out of respect for others, especially the children. It's like covering your mouth when you cough. If you can't handle it, then there's the door and don't let it hit you on the way out.

Way to go, 3tracy! I've always enjoyed the off-center view. And welcome to the board.

My penis changes size all the time from the hot sun to the cold sea, I think if you get a real erection on the beach you should just sit down or go into the sea and wait for it to go, it is natural and shouldn't be offensive to anyone so long as its not flaunted.
