  So now, the nudists will keep their clothes on, or go elsewhere and after a while - the pervs will be back at it again.

  I agree with Ravens and Bruce. The wardens will soon find that clothing will make no difference to the sex pests and that banning nudists does not solve the problem.

  This is exactly why myself and others on here constantly complain about the line between sex and nudism being forever blurred, even within our own community. One after another, so-called progressives on here call us conservatives old, dinosaurs, out of touch, and other less savory names because we want to keep nudism clean. People who know nothing about nudists or nudism are going to assume it's sexual in nature and look for even the slightest evidence, real or otherwise, that their assumptions are correct. For everyone on here who I've argued with over this FACT, get it through your THICK EFFING HEADS, this is what happens and will continue to happen if we don't divorce ourselves from those who insist on sexualizing nudism.

  The only boundary to be defined or (as in repeated) redefined in Nudism is that there is NO sex in Nudism! and when this becomes blurred by whomever, then it is fair to say that/those persons are not Nudists.

  A young couple had to be told their behaviour was inappropriate and the authorities would shut our beach down.  I knew they were inexperienced and ignorant of what true nudism is about because the male made fun of my nude appearance as they walked by me upon arriving at the beach.  Guess they decided to give it a go as they soon found out they were the minority as textiles.  My point is that most uneducated people truly believe nudism is equated with sex.  These two figured they were nude and therefore, despite no evidence to support this, believed that public sex must be OK.  I hope when they got home they took some time to research the true meaning and beautiful way of life that is naturism.  God bless.

  [quote]I realize that many of us who attend nude beaches prefer to have a "live and let live" attitude, but that is something we just can no longer afford if we want to keep our nude beaches.
  
  
  In CA, we've lost two nude beaches; San Onofre and Muir beaches.  The reason given, which is always the same, is lewd activity on the beach.  Did the regular beach goers do anything about it, probably not.
  
  If you see lewd behavior on a beach, CONFRONT them.  Get a group of the regulars together and let the offenders know that what their doing will not be tolerated.  You try to be nice about it, depending on the degree of offense.  There are a few to really don't understand that nude is not lewd, and when having the facts explained to them by a few folks, will get it, and behave.  Others, sometimes need a bit more attitude to get them off the beach.
  
  Word gets around.  Those that come to nude beaches looking for sex, usually belong to forums that discuss where to go.  If someone gets confronted, they may likely go back to their forum and report that a particular nude beach is NOT sex friendly.
  Don't just watch and go tsk tsk.  BE PROACTIVE.
  
  [/quote]I never saw any lewd behavior at San Onofre. I heard the same complaints mentioned as anywhere else, the parks dept. wanted to safeguard people from accidentally happening upon nude bathers.  Had they put up a few signs they would have prevented people from 'stumbling across' the 60 yards of beach that was the most remote portion available, after driving to the very end of the park, walking down a trail and walking twice the length of the beach twice over to get there in the first place.

  You mentioned clean nudism. Why is sex unclean? The way most people feel about nudism, the same way you feel about sex. We need to have more tolerance towards intimate activities just the way nudists want others to have more tolerance towards unclothed natural human forms. Sex is natural human behavior too. Many times I'm given the explanation by elder nudists that nature isn't ashamed of its natural forms, so why should we. I say nature isnt ashamed of having sex in the open too.

  It figures that the last statement was given by someone who has NO information on their profile and is from a country where nudism is illegal. It is people like him that doesn't understand that nudism is NOT about sex. Yes sex is a natural thing but not out in the public where everyone can be confronted by it. Keep it where it belongs between you and the person you are with,,,not the whole world

  That's great news, John. Thanks for the info.
  To save clicking the link, here is the article -
  
  Naturists are celebrating the lifting of a ban which stopped them from stripping off on Holkham beach.
  The Crown Estate closed the naturist area of the beach in July following complaints about sexual offences committed in the area.
  A spokesman for British Naturism said they had received a letter from the Crown Estate on September 25 to say the ban had been lifted with immediate effect, just minutes before the organisation was going to sign a contract with a solicitor to begin judicial review proceedings.
  Naturism is now permitted on the beach below mean high water but the ban by Holkham Estate which owns the dunes and the beach above mean high water, remains in force. Malcolm Boura, campaigns director at British Naturism, said: Its a major step in the right direction and I am pleased with that.
  There is still a lot of work left to be done and we are meeting with the Crown Estate and landowners later this month and discussing how best to sort out the real problems.
  David Horton-Fawkes, estates director at the Holkham Estate said: We are aware that the Crown Estate has reversed its decision about nudism on the beach following the threat of judicial review by a small group of naturists.
  Until now the ban on nudism had stopped the illegal activity that has plagued the beach.
  We can only hope that this decision does not re-open the door to those who have ruined this part of the Nature Reserve for the vast majority of beach users.

  Some people have sex in public toilets, should we ban public toilets ?[/quote]
  I agree, but there soon won't be any public toilets according to this article in the Telegraph -
  
  One in seven public toilets has closed in the last three years as councils attempt to cut costs, according to new figures.
  In 11 council areas, including some large cities, there are no public toilet facilities available anywhere.
  Campaigners for the elderly said that pensioners who fear being caught short would be likely to suffer from the cuts, with many choosing to stay at home rather than risk trips out.
  Fears were raised that pregnant women and people with disabilities would also be affected by the closures.
  The findings, from a survey of 218 district and borough councils in England, which are responsible for toilet facilities, showed that 13.5 per cent of all council-run toilets have been shut down since 2010.
  This would mean that some 700 public toilets had been closed, if the rate of closures were extrapolated across the country.

  Here in the United States public rest rooms belong to restaurants, malls, gas stations or such. The closest we get to government owned and operated are in transportation, such as airports, train stations or rest stops on highways. For the most part these government entities are run more like corporations.
