To me, naturist beaches fall under the same category as saunas, when you go naked. In most cases there's virtually zero sexuality going on. Sure, there's always exceptions, where people see tits and go crazy about it, but in most cases it's completely different. I'm quite glad my country also has nudist beaches for those who want to be naked there.

on a nudist beach or a nude sauna, i would have a permanent 3erktion--until it were to be resolved. as it is, the models on the ads along streets are already troublesome enough. isn't it my right to live in a world where semi-nude women are not shoved into my face wherever i look???

  I would say no,you don't get that right. The inverse is also true, I don't think it is a right for nudists to expect entirely pure thoughts.

    i dont know what kind of disfunctions niydists have but as a normal and healthy man, i can't NOT feel anything even in the presence of a naked flabby sea-lion of a woman.

  It’s surprising actually, with normal people, nudism/naturism is generally super non-sexy, especially compared to the kind of models you see partially clothed in ads. Firstly, because most people don’t look like models, but even when you see more attractive people, the context is very different and you get used to it pretty quickly and the weirdness and novelty wears off. Anyone going hoping for sexual satisfaction will probably be disappointed.

  I think this sort of thing becomes far less arousing once it is no longer taboo and uncommon. I'm gay and that probably means I've been in situations where I've been naked around people I might be attracted to more often than most straight men are (locker rooms, saunas, doctors visits, etc.). My experience has been that on its own nudity outside of a sexual situation isn't enough to be arousing, it's not something that even crosses my mind anymore.

> when you go naked. In most cases there's virtually zero sexuality going on I definitely helps that most attendees are not particularly attractive. But as soon as an actually attractive girl/woman is present - I do have to manage my attention to avoid ... ahem ... drawing unwanted attention. Happens very rarely, though. And I'm saying that as someone having gone to the sauna for many years. -- just to be clearer - I never go to the sauna with sexual intentions and never ever made anybody feel uncomfortable for sure. I just don't find this often proclaimed "saunas are asexual" credible. they can be very sexual and many people go there with that mindest - as far as I can tell (as a man) mostly from the gay community. and for me as a man who very well can admire a firm female body I simply have to say that indeed it helps that there are very few of that kind. most people are old and wrinkled and I just keep my eyes everywhere else. -- also this "naked is cool" but "sexuality is inappropriate" attitude is not fitting the lifestyle and mindest described in the article. it's a prude and artificial take on human life and desires.

  > I do have to manage my attention to avoid ... ahem ... drawing unwanted attention > I [. . .] never ever made anybody feel uncomfortable for sure Really doubt both of these things are true. It's very obvious if someone has to intentionally avoid looking around a place naturally. The people around you will notice and they will know why, and that will make them uncomfortable. I really don't understand this impulse either. As someone who has frequently hung out with friends of my age naked, and I consider many of them very attractive, I just do not get aroused in this situation. If it's clear that it's not a sexual situation what is there to get excited about? Are you so sexually repressed that any attractive person in the nude causes such an involuntary reaction?

Well... I would agree with you when it comes to well known and well used public nude beaches. But truth is that here in Sweden at least there are often oglers, and people just walking up and down the beach proposing sex. Never experienced that as a tourist at nude beaches in Croatia but then again they were never as crowded as here.
