Hi Susie,
Sexuality, as we all know, is not black or white. I think we all have a bit of 'gayness' in us and are all intrigued to see and compare members of our own sex masturbating, like how long they last, whether they make loud noises or just their method.
I'm middle-aged, straight, and have been a nudist since my teens. Now I don't know about the ladies here, but I'm sure all the gents, if they are honest, would admit to having masturbated with one or more of their friends when they were kids. When boys are 10 or 11, they seem to spend a lot of time pulling down their pants with their friends and looking at each other's cocks. I know I did. That may be what you meant by 'a bit of gayness in us', but I think its probably more just a part of growing up and discovering our own sexuality.
I wonder though if any of you guys are actually repulsed at the sight of another guys equipment. I say this because I actually think the female genitalia is very ugly, especially when the clitoris hangs outside the labia. It seems to have no form at all.
As a regular visitor to our city's clothing-optional beach for decades, I have seen several thousands of people naked, both male and female over the years. Judging by the VERY large numbers of people who visit the beach every year, I don't think many people are repulsed by the nude body. I know I am not repulsed by the sight of another guy's cock, and definitely not repulsed by the sight of the female body.
I hate to see the vulva fully exposed. In a way, it embarrasses me. I know the guys on this site won't agree with me but I just wondered what you guys think about other cocks when you see them. Do you think 'oh, that's just a cock' or 'wow, what a magnificent specimen'? Do you judge them, compare them or just think a cock is a cock is a cock?
Although traditional nudist literature would deny it, when you are at a nude beach, yes, everybody LOOKS! One of the reasons you go to a nude beach is to see and be seen. If I'm walking down the beach and pass another guy, sure I look at his cock and I'm sure he looks at mine. Pass a lady, you look at her breasts and pubic area, and again, I'm pretty sure she has a look at your cock. Spread out your towel, and you are looking at the people around you.
I've seen lots of guys at the beach with erections, (or at least partials, known as a 'beach boner') and have had them myself. I've sat and played chess with another guy and we both had erections. I don't think we were repulsed by the sight of each other's erection. As a matter of fact, we both joked about them. So obviously we were both looking. If you are repulsed, you don't look. When I see another guy's cock, I look at the length, the shape of the head (amazing difference in the size and shape of heads), the amount of foreskin if uncircumcised, how the balls hang, whether its shaved or not, how it swings, you name it.
