Question about fully nude beaches

[Koldo]

Yup.

Erm...I don't find a nude beach to be a good place for a 6 years old girl to go.

Why not? Nudity is perfectly natural.

 

[Koldo]

Why not? Nudity is perfectly natural.

It is the perfect spot for pedo on the lookout.
And your child would surely find it an weird experience.

Anyway, erections are related to sexual arousal. So, it would be odd for a man to approach a kid in such state. Not to mention the relation between the height of the kid and the distance between the ground and the penis of the adult male...:areyoucra

Nooooo kiddin. This discussion is cracking me up. For one, there are nudist resorts and beaches where entire families attend. Public erections frowned on.

For another thing, it would be odd for a stranger to approach anyone, adults included, in that state. Again, public erections frowned on.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with visible arousal, though.

It is only odd if there is an approach involved.
Surely a sexually aroused man approaching a person would be weird. It would be clear this man has sexual ideas in his mind.

Do you find that to be much of a problem?

Friend trdash,

Find no double standards amongst *nudists* as what they say is right. Man is born in nature without clothes and so there is nothing to hide but *erection* is something where the mind has been applied which is *UNNATURAL*; now the question comes as to why the mind is unnatural as it too is part of every being?
In nature every human along with every thing else is in tune with existence when the mind is not active and as soon as the mind becomes active the individual is no more present or in tune with his surrounding or the environment and this is unnatural which *nudists* are against.
Personally would take it as a very good environment to be able to watch one's own mind. Gandhi of India used to sleep nude with two girls on his side only to check his erection likewise transcending the mind means that the mind is not on top and it follows the individual or delivers what the individual needs it to do. Likewise one may use the *nudist* environment to check his own mind.
Love & rgds

I can only say that i feel pity for you.
That is all.

Here in Canada with the changing summer, every spring when people start wearing less clothing, there is noticeable more staring ... for about a week. Then everyone gets used to it. Happens every year.

I've never been to a nude beach, but I was at a tops optional one in Dominican for a week or so. You just get used to it after awhile, and soon its no different than any other beach. As the novelty wears off, I would suppose so do the erections.

For little kids the whole world is a weird experience, and kids aren't born to find nudity shocking. They have to learn what to be shocked at.
I'd think conservative adults would be more disconcerted by such a spectacle than a little kid.

I agree.
However, i would say that 6 years old is old enough to find it an odd experience.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

However, as a Christian, I really think God wants people to cover their bodies, as a way of showing its sacredness.

If we were sacred with our clothes, wouldn't God have made us with clothes in the beginning?

 

[Songbird]

Which is why i am saying it is hypocrisy.

No, it's not. For nudists, public nudity = acceptable. Certain natural bodily activities in public = not acceptable.

It is only odd if there is an approach involved.

Yep.

Do you find that to be much of a problem?

Not having to deal with visible arousal symptoms myself? Nope, I meant just what I said. You may have misunderstood my statement. I'm glad I don't have that issue. I feel bad for guys in that regard.

 

[Koldo]

That is fine when those natural bodily activities are defacating or urinating, for example.
However, we are talking about a common body reaction which is completely expected to happen in certain conditions such as public nudity.
It is ridiculous, to say the least, to label this sort of thing as unacceptable.

To think there are hypocrites even in nude beaches...

I mean, would it be a problem for you to see a guy with an erection in a nude beach?

 

[ninerbuff]

The topic of nude beaches is one that pulls me in different directions. I can see how public nudity can be used to debunk the fake Hollywood Barbie doll and GI Joe body images. However, as a Christian, I really think God wants people to cover their bodies, as a way of showing its sacredness. Regardless of this inner conflict that I have – which results in me not attending a nude beach (going with what I think God wants) – the one aspect of nude beaches I have never understood is why erections are not viewed as normal and natural. Many nudists argue that nudity is natural and our natatural bodies should not be viewed as shameful. Yet, many (but not all) nudist beaches have rules that a man is suppose to hide an erection by either putting a towel around himself or laying on his stomach. Further, allowing non-sexual types of erections could even cause more body size awareness and education, helping people learn about realistic size.

Can anyone explain this double standard?

You couldn't hang (literally) at a nude beach with all your erection issues. So of course you justify it by saying it's what "god" wants.......

 

[ninerbuff]

I've been to a nudist beach. After about 5 minutes of oogling, it's really nothing special. Like anything else, if you're around it enough, it's ends up being "normal".

Friend koldo,

I can only say that i feel pity for you.

That is a typical way the MIND reacts!
Watch it till it has no influence on its erection only then will everything be natural.

It seems to me some of the skimpy attire on normal beaches can be just as arousing as no attire at all.

Seyori:

I think you are right regarding skimpy attire, and it probable is worse than nudity.

In regard to the larger conversation, I think Songbird brings up a really wise point in that there are different communities and cultures within the nude beach milieu. Similar, I can see how an erection in a family nude beach would be inappropriate, but in an adult only nude beach it should be viewed, in my mind, as acceptable. I am sure if I went to a nude beach, I would struggle with erections at first, but I am sure it would disappear. The real question is how I would get people to stop guaging at me! Be glad, Songbird, you do not have to deal with such things!

Again, never being to one and not knowing much research on the subject, I am speculating somewhat widly here, but I think more men than women (as a very broad generalization) have more disdain for seeing erections. I think most women, simply find the visual amusing (hence, Songbirds posts) where as men get too caught up on size issues and then will blame homosexual aspects (which is more or less homophobia). That is, I think men do not want to see other men who might be larger (and men need to get over this).

If I ever go to a nude beach -- and I am sure their is no homosexual tendencies in me (and by saying this I am not meaning to condem homosexuals), I would not find erections that disturbing (assuming there are no sexual activities, such as self-stoking), I would simply think they are normal and natural and should be part of a nudist beach.

Seyori:

So you'd expect more erection issues on a regular beach then, wouldn't you? Yet it's not generally a problem. I've been to plenty of clothing optional bathing spots in my time, and it's never been an issue at any of them, either.

My mind is connected to my body.
It is only natural for me to expect it exerts influence in my body.
It doesn't have to change. It works the way it is supposed to work.
Also, i don't intend to label anything in myself as wrong or flawed, as i have been witness to how disastrous those mindsets can be.
