A bisexual male friend of mine went in the closet to join the Marines.
Before he started, he was joking about how painfully arousing it was going
to be to be surrounded by hunky Marines. But when he actually got there,
the reality of living with a bunch of guys was more annoying than arousing.
He didn't have any problems.
If you were around a bunch of naked women every day, particularly women with
whom you could not show any sexual inclination whatsoever, it would stop
being such a big deal. Most guys at nude beaches don't have erections for
this reason. It's not nudity that's arousing, it's sexuality, and nudity is
not inherently sexual.

Try looking at some Robert Mapplethorpe nudes (the nice ones, not the S&M
ones). Also, I believe that there was a collection of male nudes by female
photographers out recently, but I couldn't dig it up on Amazon.
