“And I’m here to say that even though I’ve been a nudist for decades, erections do happen.  We are not eunuchs.  When I get an erection I don’t flaunt it, but I don’t hide it either.  My body is not shameful.  I will not go running for a towel or into the water.  I just continue reading my book or having a conversation, maybe positioning myself a little more modestly, and it will go away on its own. . . once guys have ‘permission’ to get hard it’s probably far less likely to happen as they won’t be thinking ‘Don’t get an erection!’ . . . which of course leads to just that. . . guys might be willing to try nudism if they’re not so damned worried about something that really doesn’t happen much, but DOES happen.  I don’t know why so many nudists are afraid to admit as much.  I think it just scares normal guys away from a lifestyle which is about accepting your body, not freaking out about its natural functions. . . It’d be a damned shame to never experience the freedom this way of living offers just because you’re afraid of something your body does.” - http://thoughtsonnaturism.tumblr.com/post/145230050162/one-more-discussion-about-nudists-and-erections

“Try naturism, it’s good for you.  You’ll love it!” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“. . . in the debate between the terms ‘nudist’ and ‘naturist’, we need to use our terms precisely and accurately . . . ‘naturist’ should be the preferred term.  Both terms carry a mindset and by using either one, you agree with the mindset of the term.  ‘Nudist’ carries a negative connotation of a person who joins a colony who lives without clothes.  A naturist, on the other hand, believes that clothes-free places have a purpose; that good, social nudity is to be so commonplace that there is no need for any location to be specifically dedicated as a naturist or clothes-free area, simply because the mindset behind the purpose for clothing needs to change.  We (as naturists) should be working to make the whole world clothes-free just as Christians are commanded to make disciples of all nations; however, we should not give up the habit of meeting together at public clothes-free venues for they show how far we’ve come. . . If we want the whole world to at least be exposed to freedom, we must not only congregate amongst ourselves in resorts, at conventions and on nude social networking sites.  We must go out to the legislatures of various states, exercise our freedom where it is legal and mix with others.  We not only have the freedom to be naturists, but also the responsibility to defend our beliefs. . . One day, hopefully soon, clothed minded people will realize that the clothing made by man is not better than the clothing given by God.” – Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudist-vs-naturist-in-my-opinion/
