    There are so many posts on here asking guys about getting noticeable boners and whether it's embarrassing and/or how they deal with it.

    I thought it'd be interesting to ask the opposite and also widen it out to include all genders. Curious who thinks it's awkward when you're nude with a non-sexual partner (or at the very least they are nude in front of you) gets physically aroused, such as an erect penis or their vulva opens up and clit swells out enough to be visible, and who could give two shits?

    Myself, I fall into the second camp. I don't care and I don't think there's any reason to care. I think the big hang up is the misconception that an erection or (what I call) "girl boners" indicates a conscious horniness or sexual arousal over the person you're nude with. It can be little more than a purely physical reaction.

    I really enjoy seeing other people get aroused because it's one of the best examples of a body just doing its thing. Embracing that fact is to embrace one of the core attributes of "being human." And it's a great entre to really lovely or funny or educational conversations you might have never had with that person otherwise.

    I grew up in a rural white community, so gym showers I saw nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing impressive I had heard a few stories, never paid much mind or gave it much thought. My first job was in a larger city on Friday we would shower and go downtown This is when I see a black man with a dick hanging halfway to his knees. and I swear when he came out of the shower, he was even bigger. Later I found out men shared their wives with him. later I seen his wife and she was a very attractive woman.

    I think it's wonderful seeing any level of sexual arousal in someone, for whatever reason they're feeling it. For example, I get a boner almost always as I'm losing my clothes and getting naked, whether at home by myself, in the bedroom with a partner(s) or in public. It's the personal nudity itself that makes me aroused. Of course I also get aroused by seeing other people's naked bodies, both men and women.

    I've been to a number of naturist places like beaches and resorts, and I usually myself have had a boner at first, partly because of the feeling of my own nakedness, and partly seeing other people's nakedness. Since sex is not really part of naturism, per se, except maybe a little more in the gay community, I eventually lose my erection. In the early days I was embarrassed about my boner, because you're not "supposed to be" sexually aroused (God knows why). But now I not only don't care, but I'm proud of my big hard cock on a nudist beach, and just wish it would last longer. I would love walking around showing off my hard cock to remind everyone that it's completely natural, the very premise of naturism. What I wish most is to see a lot more boners on guys in naturist settings, because I absolutely adore erect cocks, and that's not just the gay side of myself speaking. The erect penis, or phallus, has been revered throughout many societies since antiquity.

    The same goes for the men's locker room at the gym. Because I've been open to the gay side of my bisexuality for over 30 years, I love seeing the naked men in the locker rooms, their cocks and asses especially. So I would sometimes get a boner. And like naturism, now, at 63, I not only don't care if I show that level of gay arousal in the locker room, I rejoice in it, absolutely loving to show the strong gay side of myself, and don't care what other guys think. I'm mostly wanting to broadcast my sexuality to hook up with someone. But with great sadness I say I've only done so once.

    But what I hate is not seeing enough of other guys having erections in the locker room or showers. Heck, I can't remember seeing an erection since this one guy and I seduced each other in the showers at the Y in Ottawa 25 years ago, masturbating our hard cocks as we're showering and staring into each other's eyes (we ended up at my place). But I also now live since 2005 in a very conservative town (Niagara Falls) where bisexuality and homosexuality are quite hidden behind closed doors. Personally, I'd love to see more overt flirtation between men in the locker room and showers. Bisexuality and homosexuality should not be something to be feared, despised and hidden. It's as natural as heterosexuality, and even more so since guys hang out with each other more than they do with women.

    I'm sure it's also the same wonderful thing with women showing their strong arousal through their vulva. But I think that's also a lot harder to notice. However, I'm also a guy who no longer is interested in being intimate with a woman again, and find the vulva repulsive (though love and get aroused with their boobs, asses if small and pretty faces).

    I also love letting myself get erect if it happens and not thinking twice about it. There's so much freedom in refusing to feel embarrassed or vulnerable about things society convinces you should make you feel embarrassed or vulnerable. Two separate girlfriends have actually commented on how comfortable I am being nude, And they aren't wrong. Although I found it an odd observation to reach, given that it was post-sex and we were both nude. So, however it is that I carry myself when sitting naked in bed after first consummating a relationship must have some kind of vibe to it.

    Unfortunately, I almost never get unintended erections anymore. I chalk it up to age, using vibrators and meds. However, when naked with others outside of a sexual context, I will often feel a physical sensation of arousal in my penis without it getting any bigger. I can feel blood rushing into it and there's a very subtle throbbing. it's not necessarily out of horniness. A lot of the time it's because some part of my brain is just worried enough about getting aroused that it ends up making me unconsciously pay attention to how my penis feels, thus creating a fait accompli. But there are a few friends I'm attracted to and I definitely get a very different kind of rush when we're nude in front of each other. It's not difficult to know the difference between arousal because you're actually turned on and arousal as a natural bodily reaction.

    One thing that does it without fail is if someone else gets visibly aroused, then I get an erection. Every single time. I've never been to a nude beach or resort. I'd really like to just because I earnestly love open nudity outdoors and with others. But I have to admit, I'm also incredibly curious to find out if I'd get one in a naturist setting given that my two triggers are other people being aroused and feeling self-imposed pressure not to be aroused.

    It honestly offends me when people say judgy stuff about someone getting aroused when nude with them or in their general vicinity. For one thing, to knowingly ignore the common knowledge among adults that arousal can occur for many different reasons and convince yourself the person must be having a sexual response to you is pretty fucking vain. I've only heard like one or two girlfriends or friends say shit like that, and only as a general remark. Not about me. Any time me being aroused or the possibility of me being aroused has come up while nude with a non-romantic partner has only ever been in a mutually jokey friendly chiding way.

    I was working on a power point presentation at and I was nodding off in my cube, when I called into the directors office to explain grants given out during the first round of recipients. There was six people in her office including the director sitting at her desk. I walked to her office sporting a half hard on (a problem when I nod off). I didn’t realize that the thick ridge of my fatty was visible through my dress pants. I came into her office the only opening to look at her screen was to her left. I leaned over the desk pointing to the grant spreadsheet and timeline. I’m tall (6’4”) and my crotch was visible over her desk. As I looked her way I could see her eyes on my couch. I realized that it was still half-hard. For some reason (I was not sexually attracted to her) my dick started to v throb and grow. Her eyes were more on my dick outlined in my dress pants than on the computer screen. By the time I had finished I was almost totally hard. When I was finished with the screen I turned towards her my dick tenting out my pants. And yes her eyes were riveted to my crotch. I told her That I would send her all the emails in the grant folder when I got back to my desk. Just did shits and giggles I made it twitch. I saw her face reddened as my crotch was no more than three feet away from her face. I went back To my cube to calm down. Afterwards she always smiled at me she said hello.

    Kind of the opposite of an incident with my old manager. She was hot and always wore tight skirts and stiletto heels. She was in my office sitting next to me going over my report and dangling her spiked heels off her foot. She noticed that I noticed and asked if I like her shoes. I was hard and got red when she asked me. From that point on she would tease me with her heels and even one day she pulled a Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct in her office when she uncrossed her legs with no underwear underneath her skirt. Jesus Christ.

    I have no problem with men or women being aroused around me when they are naked or dressed, a friend of mine got really embarrassed when we were in the showers at the gym when he got really hard, I told him not to worry I'd seen it happen loads of times. he was a good 7 to 8 inches when hard, seeing him got me hard, we had a quick wank in the showers next to each other.

    A few guys used to get hard in the showers at school, we used to just have a laugh about it, and mess about showing our boners off.

    At home we are often naked in the garden we are lucky enough to have a really secluded garden, all our kids are adults and we are often aroused we really don't make a thing about it, even if someone feels they need to release Thier tension shall we say

    The dangling shoe. That is a true art form. A classic that never gets old.

    I couldn't agree. In that case I think it was strictly by chance...well until she noticed that I noticed.
