Nude beaches are all about sensuality and freedom rather than sexuality...and it's important for guys to know the difference. We know that guys get erections at the nude beach, especially if they've never been there before. It's a natural reaction to being around so many naked girls, and we certainly understand that.. . What we do object to is the way you handle it (no pun intended). The discreet and respectful thing to do is to simply turn over and lie on your stomach until it passes, or run into the water and keep it covered until the water does the trick. Playing with it, stroking it or waving it in our faces (believe me, as a girl who spends lots of time at the nude beach, I've seen it done!) is an inappropriate behavior, as is walking along with it bobbing up and down on display.. . The nude beach is all about respect for others, and the ability to enjoy nudity in an appropriate, non-sexual situation.. . Your erection would be perfectly appropriate and welcome in the bedroom...on the beach, it's best kept from public view.. . If you're concerned about it happenning again, you might consider taking matters "into your own hands" before you leave for the beach. That might cool you down for awhile and allow you to get comfortable with the nudity you'll definitely encounter.. . Hope this information is helpful, because the nude beach is an awesome place...don't mess it up for yourself or others.
