OK, does anyone think it is odd that the
Nudity and sexuality article starts with a a huge section on kids?
It's no less alarming that this entire section is written from a "how to" POV, and is completely unsourced conjecture:

Responding to erections
Should an erection occur, one can simply cover up, switch over onto their side or stomach, jump into the pool, take a shower, ignore it until it subsides, etc. Flaunting an erection is considered extremely bad manners in most nude groups. Many consider it lewd. Others may not mind personally, but don't want to let such behaviour scare off new members.
Many practioneers of social nudity do not want men to openly present their erection (whether voluntary or spontaneous). However, some believe it should be included as a part of "body acceptance" — a key philosophy of nudists. This has been the subject of much of a mass debate in nudist/naturist Internet forums. For some activities (e.g. water skiing or dancing), hiding an erection might be difficult. In such cases, some forms of etiquette suggest that it be ignored by others.
Public nude beaches tend to be less strict on the issue of erections than private resorts. However, flaunting of an erection is still considered to be sexually motivated behavior and is discouraged.
Although erections cannot be controlled people still find offense if seen in public, even though the erection of a woman's nipples is seen as acceptable.
I also enjoy the word "practioneers". That's a new one on me.
And to think, I recently saw a blog comment exclaiming, "Regardless of this Jimbo flap that I'm choosing to again ignore and hope goes away, don't you agree that most of Wikipedia is dramtically improving?!?!"
Sigh.
