Now I have just recently moved to Australia, and while transiting to my new home town, I was in Sydney for 24 hours.
I thought, a great chance to get out to the beach and catch some sun.
So I caught the ferry out to Watsons bay, then walked up to Lady Bay Beach.
There was probably 20 other guys spread out over the beach, which was fine, I found myself a spot and went for a quick swim, before catching some sun.
After sunbathing for about an hour or so, got up to have another swim, and there was a guy about 50m away on a beach lounger not just with an erection, not just rubbing himself, but full on masterbating, I looked around at the other beach users, and they seemed just as shocked as I was, this continued for about 2 minutes, when he cleaned himself up, and went back to sunbathing. Not long after this I noticed the weather was closing in, and left, another guy left at the same time as me, and he was mentioning how he couldnt believe what we had just seen.
Whats worse, those who have been to Lady Bay beach will know theres a look out over the harbour right above the beach, and where he was sitting was right in full view of it.
So for those who are wanting to get into nudism, please dont follow the above example, it is not appropriate, if sunbathing naked is getting you a little excited, (this is pointed to males) just roll over and cover it up, or go for a swim and cool off a bit. If its to the point where you have to do something about it (and in my opinion, if this is the case, your in the wrong place, and on the wrong site) Get dressed, and go away into a private place and do what you have to do,
Its people like this that gives Nudism a bad name, especialy where he was doing it right in front of a public look out, and it explains why Lady Bay beach has a "Gay" status, and why women wouldnt be wanting to go to this beach.
Im sorry if this post seems more like a rant, but I was so appaled at what I saw, and the fact that no one did anything about it, makes it seem like it is a common ocurance (if it was a beach I went to more often, I may of said something).

ravensflyinnowSep 20, 2011It is inappropriate behaviour. He should have been called out on it. I know you weren't a regular there, but why were you waiting for someone else to say something? If it offended you, speak up man!!! Since nobody said anything, chances are he will return and do it again. If others were as offended and shocked as you. I'm sure they would have backed you up. Within the Nudist Community there is that sense of unity. Also, knowing that it is a Gay Beach and women won't go there, should have told you something. But it is inappropriate in any sense, especially since unsuspecting people above could see.

rusty62Sep 20, 2011This is a problem on beaches all over. Some local nudists clubs and nude beach organizations try to help but the fact is masterbation in public has definitly crossed legal boundries and makes it bad for everyone. We need our governments to recognize nude beaches, treat them like other public parklands and catch the bad ones.
Because we are always hidding out in the back beaches some of the health standards have something to be desired.ReactReply - T=

ThomasSep 21, 2011That was totally inappropriate behavior. When someone even starts to behave in a like manner at beach I go to they get told off and police will get called. I once say a lady who was 5'4" tell off a guy who was 5'11" and 220. I would have done the same if I had seen what he was doing, his back was to me , because there were plenty of other regulars there who would back either of us up. The suggestion of having a second person go with you is a good suggestion because it will prevent aggressive behavior.

ReactReply - MEMemberSep 23, 2011I thought it really bad when the "dogging" [str8 public sex involving strangers] fraternity caught on to the fact it was an easy way to get attention/participants. Not clever and drew unwanted attention to a wonderful and quiet Welsh beach.ReactReply

rsmoonSep 25, 2011I agree with you for the most part on his behaviore ,timing and place,but if I was you I still would have said something but that just me.

the answer is quite easy . you shout out loud at the person . what ever you want to shout . then look round as the shout as come from a diffent direction .
do you think he is going to get up and try to find out who shouted .
this in it self , should stop him doing what he is doing .#
please renember , next time he could bring a mate down to join in is ativcie or some one elso on the beach might find it ok to do the same .
let all shout loud and clear we do not and will not put up with this .
plus also did you contact the local council or police by phone or letter . ( no need to give your name ) asking then to arrange for the bech to be checked out to stamp this out .
louder we all shout . sooner this people will get the messaged .ReactReply - DW

In my opinion you are just as guilty as him for giving nudism a bad name by not vocally defending and maintaining our behavioural standards against uncouth pervs like him. It doesn't matter whether it was your first time to a beach like that - behaviour like that is not acceptable ANYWHERE and you know it. Remember: evil prevails when good people sit around and do nothing. If it was me he wouldn't have had a leg to stand on and he'd have to wash a ton of sand from his eyes and mouth if I saw what he was up to.ReactReply - MEMemberMar 4, 2012AFAIC having an erection is normal. I don't see it as something to hide. But masturbating or fondling it, that's over the top and he should have been dealt with over that.ReactReply
