How to deal with son's erections? He doesn't particularly hide them. Should I tell him to?

i think is all in family acceptance. If no one has a problem with it and the boy is comfortable why should he hide his erection. just the same as why do we cover girls once they bud breasts ,in a home where they were always allowed to be shirtless. Chill out people. The human body is only shameful if we make it that way. Looking and touching is only a dirty act if we make it one. *sigh*

You have such a beautiful approach to parenting, allowing your sons to explore and learn in the comfort of his home and the home of your friend and her daughter. It's too bad more parents are not as enlightened as you are.

My mother was fine with this and was a single mom when I started puberty at age 10. She wore revealing clothes in public and more revealing at home. My therapist tells me that there are as many of these type of mother/son relationships as there are father/daughter, but they are not viewed as taboo.

You don't have to support it. Gay people and lesbians will exist without your support just fine. I'm a 43 year old bisexual man, married to a woman happily. My mom gave me my first fully nude massage and then took my erection with her hands and gave me release. She used to insist on "unloading the gun" as she called it, prior to every date. She'd sit me down and orally satisfy me then wish me well on my date. I do not know if my abject hypersexuality is due to her or not. It was always my choice. If I elected to masturbate without her help, she'd want evidence that I'd released.

Why are men made to feel shame for something they cannot entirely control? "Politeness" puts an erection on the level of burping or farting, things you need to be excused for doing. Is the nudist actively jerking off? Wagging his erection around? Making a scene? If not, then YOU need to chill TF right out. When a nudist woman's nipples get hard, then are they expected to cover their breasts?? Double standard anti male BS.

Interesting thought but I don't think you can compare penis and nipples. True enough you also don't frown at a woman if she gets wet but then again this cannot be compared to an erection I believe. Erections are more visible and they are "invasive", I don't say "agressive" that's not it but they clearly indicate a sexual activity. Arousal is not the problem and therefore it makes no difference if you are erect because you are aroused or because you feel relaxed or because you're part of those men who just tend to be erect most of the time. The problem is what the sexual purpose of the erection is because that's what it stands (no pun intended) for. Hard nipples don't stand for sexual intercourse, a hard penis does. That being said.I still feel with you that it is wrong not to accept erections in a naturist context but that is how most resorts want it to be. I feel however that amongst the younger naturists a different attitude is developing these last 10-15 years. You see more erections and I believe this is not because there are more men getting one but because they don't hide it anymore and this in return makes it become normal and accepted. That's at least the evolution I notice in general on the beaches and also in the resort where I regularly go. I asked an older man about it and he said that he noticed it too and commented : "What can you do abou it. I suppose they are right. And why not after all". In the week I spent there last summer there hasn't been a day where I would not have witnessed a few erections. Because of covid it was special, there were less people but even so. It were mostly young men and also adolescents. And this brings me back to the topic. I also see more adolescents staying naked in the resort which is also I believe the sign that body acceptance creates body acceptance, I mean that if we don't frown the others don't feel ashamed and vice versa. When a boy I was asked at home to hide my erections. Now that I'm a father I let my son free to be naked even if he's erect. I can't say it's a problem so far. He's only 12 but he's already been bullied in school for it so that is another reason not to make him feel bad at home. If in the future we feel that he turns out to actively show it it will be something else altogether and we will talk to him.

After puberty starts, I don't think running around the house naked is appropriate unless you are all nudist, When I got to the age that my body was changing, my dad called me aside before school one day. he yanked my pants front, took his hand and pushed my penis down into my briefs. He then said, "Now that is the way you wear it" meaning my penis. That kept it sorta under control and erections didn't show at the wrong time when I kept it tucked down in my shorts.

The question was about the boy erection. Her answer was more toward her son not her daughter. Mothers as well this mother enjoys the nudity of her daughter also. Get your mind out of the gutter.

You sound perverted. You allow your son to see you naked in bathroom. They you wonder why the boy is always stiff. You created the mess, now fix it and stop deflecting about his boner.

I don’t see anything wrong with your sons behavior, my mother, sister, and I always walked around naked when getting ready for and after a bath/shower or when getting ready to go somewhere and when we got home. I believe I was around 21 when all that started to change and slowly disappeared forever. Needless to say that I have always gotten hard from seeing my family members nude, but nothing ever happened, certainly wasn’t a mind devastating situation, take it easy and let nature run it’s course.

Yes of course it is normal for him

I am a psychologist. I have talked with many families that wonder if seeing each other naked is bad. It is not. However it is up the parent. As an example some parents are ok with their daughters wearing a string bikini and others would rather have them covered as possible, and others ok with total nudity. Each is fine for each family. As far as sons getting erections it is a normal thing to happen and if you are a mom enjoy your sons freedom of being not ashamed of it.. Many mothers I have talked to have touched their sons erections, moistly when they were young or changing diapers. Some had even sucked them while they were young. More so as a joke not anything sexual. As a mother myself I see no problem seeing my kids naked or my son erect. I have felt his erection a few times and he enjoys it and I admit I do too. I know as a child I played with my naked brother and he played with me as we discovered how we were different. We grew out of it as kids change over time. There is nothing wrong being or seeing others nude and an erection is just a normal state for a boy or most any age. Just don't call attention to it or let him know getting erect is wrong. It is that was for a purpose. As far as how far others have gone that have talked with, the sex talk can be a way to introduce things they may or may not know of. I know a few parents that when they talk to their kids about sex and how the body is changing have done it while nude. Many fathers have been erect while talking to their children and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Some have let their daughter and sons feel the erection so they know its nothing to be ashamed of ore afraid of. Sex is part of life and so seeing family naked as it happens all the time. The end of the sex talk usually ends with the parents having sex in front of their kids showing them it isn't scary or something to be ashamed of. I agree its not for every family but it does solve questions about how it all works. The kids have been as young as 9 that have seen this but most are 10 to 12. Yes a few of the boys have ejaculated while watching and the girls while they seem interested and watch them leave but have more questions then the boys to. What I am saying is it is nothing to worry about as boys sport erections often, My son in Jr HIgh would always get erections at school and would adjust it. he was worried that it would happen in gym while dressing and worried about it but it didn't happen.

I agree with you njoylife. If you ask him about such an uncontrollable hard-on, my belief is he may misinterpret your question as "having a hard on around my mother(or other people) is embarrassing and wrong or bad". regardless of how kind, gentle way you phrase a question, it could stick with him for a long time, thus inhibiting himself from when sex between adults are "hard-on" appropriate. IMHOP, it is an opportunity have "the talk" about "the birds and the bees". Find a way to be kind, not reveling anything about the current penis erection....take the talk, to support, love, and his growing up now. He is in the beginning of that hormonal change, we have been through... the physical process of maturing from child to adult. Ask him if he knows how a baby is born/conceived.....have a book on hand, make it a learning experience for both of you. Keep the focus on he is starting to be a young man, growing up stage, all positive accolades to let him know you care enough about him. especial at this time of his life.
