At some point in time, if you're male, you'll be in a situation where an unwanted erection will occur. There have been many paragraphs written on the etiquette involved with how to deal with the situation when it happens and of course there are those exhitionist types that live for the moment. For the rest of us, well, it can be embarrassing. Why it's embarrassing is a matter of social norms. Of course it's equated with sexual arousal, yeah, Everytime a guy gets an erection, there's someone they are thinking about or looking at, sure we all know that. (Insert appropriate raspbery sound effect here). Only folks with no understanding of male anatomy would think so. The rest of us wake up with one and realize nature has provided a perfect solution to avoid bedwetting. But, there is still the "is that a banana in your pants, or are just happy to see me" attitude that it's all about sex.
Posting photos with an almost semi-erection happens all the time, but it may not be obvious to everyone. There's an angle that occurs that isn't there without a little extra blood flow. There's a directionality. "What are you pointing at?", may be asked. (You know who you are). For such a natural occurrence, they have such a no-no attitude attached to them.
The equivocation with porn is part of the answer, the prudish nature of society is another, and who knows what else. Whatever reason nudist pages don't want them, or genitals posted with out faces makes sense on one hand, we don't want that floodgate open for fear of the all important wall between sexual nudity and wholesome nudity to be swept away in the deluge of free-for-all exhibitionism that will inevitably follow. But, on the other hand, we're not talking sexually explicit photos or even spread labia photos, we're talking about erections. If they are natural, then why get out of sorts over a photo of a guy in a non-sexual setting, who just happens to be at full mast? Pesronally, I think genitalia is funny looking, sorry, I do. Male or female, it's funny looking. And when you throw in the dumb euphemisms for the penis, tallywhacker, dick, salami, weiner, will, etcetera and the euphemisms for an erection, hard-on, Woody, stiffy, etc.it further eliminated the possibility of keeping a straight face when you discuss any form of sexuality and leads to embarassment when you talk to your doctor. Clinical terminology is just as bad, because it isn't a normal for most people. But I digress, back to the problem of unwanted woodies and how to hide them, wait that wasn't the issue. If we are promoting nudism as a natural and viable lifestyle, then erections should be included in the equation. Not that I plan on getting a chubby at the next hot springs I go to, but if we can get past the automatic association with sex, we can get past the inherent embarrassment when one occurs.
