As far as erections, there's plenty of partial wood, especially at the painting party. There are lots of photographers who focus on men so I'm sure you can find photos on flickr if that's your thing.

However, something to keep in mind compared with the WNBR events is that the Solstice ride is an unofficial event and exists in a delicate balance with the folks who organize the parade, the city of Seattle and Fremont merchants. There's a lot of pressure to keep things family-friendly. Even in super-liberal Seattle that means de-emphasizing unpainted nudity and VERY strongly discouraging anything sexual. Someone on the parade route sporting a full-on boner would probably be told to cover up.

A Seattle police officer at the Gasworks Park post-parade function told me that any "lewd behavior" would lead to an arrest last year. No arrests were made.
