------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What if I get an erection?

	Don't worry.  It won't happen often, and, if it does, you can ignore
it, wander away from the crowd, turn over on your belly, jump in the water, or
think about dead puppies.  

	When you've been around a few nude people in a non-sexual context,
you'll begin to realize, and feel, that nude is not lewd.  Other cues than
mere nudity are important to human sexuality.  It's difficult to get aroused
while discussing, say, the disposition of the Ukraine to sell nuclear weapons
to the highest bidder.

   2.  Don't people ever get woodies?

   4.  I want to go to a nude area, but I'm afraid I'll pop a boner.

it, wander away from the crowd, turn over on your belly, jump in the water, or

   6.  The WRATH OF GOD will fall upon you for your HEATHEN SEXUAL IMMODESTY!

	Don't worry.  It won't happen often, and, if it does, you can ignore
it, wander away from the crowd, turn over on your belly, jump in the water, or
think about dead puppies.  

	When you've been around a few clothed people in a non-religious
context, you'll begin to realize, and feel, that clothing is not necessarily
detrimental to higher brain function.  Other cues than mere clothing are
important to human ritual.  It's difficult to get inspired at the benevolence
of the Almighty while discussing, say, the disposition of the Ukraine to sell
nuclear weapons to the highest bidder.

   7.  Do people ever have sex on the beach?

	Don't worry.  It won't happen often, and, if it does, you can ignore
