Please no one get offended. It is a genuine question. What if I were to get "aroused"? Is it a common problem with male nudists?
Arousal is not a common problem on nudist beaches. I’ve never seen it or stood to attention myself. The social context does not lend itself to arousal. You are just a bunch of strangers with no clothes on, some old, some young, some fat, some thin, some male, some female, some clean shaven, some natural, some bearing the marks of childbirth or surgery … but all of them just people feeling the liberation of being naked in the sun and breeze. If anything, on nudist beaches, you find social conventions a little more conservative than you might elsewhere. You don’t stare but you do tend to look people in the face when talking to them. Anyone who goes to nudist beach for voyeuristic purposes would not be welcome.
There are exceptions that are causing more and more nudist beaches to be closed to the public and that involves a small minority of gay men who like to have casual sex in the dunes and bushes behind some nudist beaches. Sadly, they are costing us our valuable beaches but this is the exception rather than the rule.
The best thing about nudist beaches apart from the sense of freedom is the fact that loud show-offs tend not to go there. There is something quietly mature and mutually respectful about nudists … and not one stiffy between them.
