I saw something tonight..and it sort've hit me wrong.
I was at the nude beach I go to on occasion and some guy was booted from the beach by the manager because his genitals were at "attention".
She warned him and warned him..I have a feeling he was lagging and loading..but eventually she "sent him to the showers".
there I was..a dance floor full of nude avatars..all genitals soft..and it struck me..is this realistic? If this were a real life Nude beach..would a male being fully engorged be a bannable offense?..or grounds to get him thrown out?
They have a rule where if the guy is "happy"..it has to be in use...but if hes on the dance floor..."flacid".
It seems to me that an erect male is natural. Any thoughts about attending to that male is noones buisness but the male and the "thinker"..He's not necessarily pointing at YOU. Give him a break.!!
Is it a little harsh to be expecting that? They expect everyone to be nude or in shorts or swimwear..but unless a guy isn't buried balls deep into someone else they expect him to be "jelly".
Seems like a double standard to me.

and yes..of course I know..its their sim .they can do or ask what they want of their visitors..but i dont have to keep going there to support them.

From what I know about nudist colonies/areas in RL, it is considered bad manners for men to have erections. They say the nudity is not about sex. *shrug*

I've never been to such a place in SL, so I certainly wouldn't know what passes for rules on the grid... ...but on a nude beach or even at some very casual California parties, I've never been aware of anyone... ah... 'standing out.' Not that I ah, would know. Of course. Certainly Not! This is all second-hand knowledge I assure you. Nude beaches are anything but exciting, in general. Think: Old Uncle Bill and Aunt Bea. Unclothed. And maybe their bridge partners too, getting some sun. It is *very* hard to unsee something like that, no matter how hard you want to...

I always imagined it would be difficult to control in a crowd of nude women, but in all the documentaries I have seen on Spencer Tunick and his living art of photographing huge numbers of naked people, it did not ever seem to be a problem; and probably most if not all of those people are not practicing nudists.

I've seen a lot of people at rl nude beaches and I've never noticed any men with this situation. I guess they can control when to cover up. And in SL it's all under control, right?

That took care of me for awhile. Lana, I've noticed this too. My guess is because all the newbie penis' are fully erect and honestly, they are grotesque. Not something I want to see walking around. As others mentioned, it's more realistic to have all penis' flaccid than the other way around.

well i guess not being able to "think about other things" when seeing a nude female would suggest a "lack of discipline"..therefore rude or inconsiderate behavior.. Maybe these folks are trying to convey a real feeling of being at a nude beach. Lana Tomba

QFT! I've seen the pics! Old days of the Internet, looking for pRon, coming across "nudist" pics... ICK!!! Being old pics, I guess the people never heard of "Shaving" either. Kelp in the ocean, Pubes on the Beach!

However easy or difficult it might be to control the old chap in RL, in SL it's simply a matter of wearing the appropriate appendage. I would certainly consider it rude to be priapic unless I was with someone who wanted me that way, and wouldn't dream of going onto a nude beach at attention.

Okay, kind of early for me today - need coffee...
I used to live in Vancouver as a child. Wreck Beach is clothing optional, and we would occasionally go there, (mom was a bit 'granola' what can I say). The only guy we ever saw saluting, was a _known_ weirdo who would walk back and forth and smile to everyone. This was before Viagra so I have no idea how he was able to stay that way for such long periods of time. I'd also like to add that he wore a Greek fisherman's hat (on his head that is). Not that it changes anything, but it does give you a mental picture.
Harmless he may have been, but I can assure you, no one thought of him as being 'natural'.

I suspect that half the guys we see with erections in SL are wearing oversize strapons that conceal something much smaller inside  .

eugh...I soooo didnt need that thought while I was eating my dinner..... I have mental images - not very nice either  All I can say is, I am glad I am a woman lol.  Being unable to control such an obvious part of yourself would frustrate me to no end lol.

Well, Claire, we do have the...erm..... upper parts that stand at attention when we don't want them to.
I got in trouble in the Army for this once. We were doing something where we were allowed to wear our civilian clothes, so I was wearing a t-shirt. One of the sargeants got "bothered" by my "points" (mine are pretty darn obvious, can't conceal them without major padding, which I _don't_ need), so my CO (female and a great CO, usually) made me put a sweatshirt on. I had to suffer in the heat all day because that sargeant was such a prude, or maybe because he couldn't handle being turned on, I dunno. So sometimes those natural bodily reactions cause us women troubles, too.
That's something that's always puzzled me - why is it that men's lower ...parts... shrink when it's cold, while all the upper ones go the opposite direction? The human body is a strange and wonderful thing!
