  [quote]Much of the disconnect on this issue comes from the devolution of what is called nudism into an individualist expression of certain behaviors from a communal way of life that includes social nudity. So these people who try to equate sexual paraphernalia with nudism have no interest in how their behavior and individual expression affects or impacts those around them as long as they get their way. This is way so many now see nudism as nothing but a perversion, to the destruction and diminishment of this wonderful social communal way of life.[/quote] When the clothes are gone it leaves very little one can do to stand out from the crowd and some people rather enjoy being their own unique selves, tattoos and piercings being rather popular options. I myself am heavily pierced in my genitals. There is nothing sexual about my behavior at the nudist resort, I am there with my family to enjoy ourselves. One could very easily argue that genital piercings are "sexual paraphernalia" considering what is done with them. So per your logic I am taking part in destroying and diminishing the nudist social communal way of life, while somehow simultaneously passing on the love of social nudity to my children so the next generation can embrace it and keep the community thriving and growing and not go the route of some resorts/private communities who refused to change with the times and they died out like the dinosaurs. quite the conundrum. Our home resort was once like those places with strict rules against tattoos and piercings until the owner was chatted with about how if he didn't change the rules there would be no next generation to come to the resort. So he himself went and got his penis pierced at the first annual tattoo and piercing event they have at the resort, and this year if I am remembering correctly will be there 20th year hosting that event. Whether the metal on a man's genitals is pierced through it or slid on it/around it, so long as his behavior isn't sexual or inappropriate, he is nothing more than a man who enjoys being socially nude, who happens to have an adornment on his body. And what exactly falls under "sexual paraphernalia", because nipple rings can be quite sexually erotic and pleasureful during the act of sex, but can also be nothing more than a pair of earrings hanging from breasts. What about a tongue ring? Same logic applies there as well. This all comes down to people judging others for doing something they wouldn't do. And as I tell my children, if it isn't harming you or anyone else and it makes that person happy, mind your own business. My kids have seen numerous men and women at the resort who have their nipples pierced, genitals pierced, wear cock rings, glands rings, shaft rings, scrotal weights, etc. And not a single one of those people was behaving in any kind of way that could be seen as inappropriate. When my children asked about said adornments I happily explained that some people enjoy wearing jewelry and accessories and that isn't limited to rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Shockingly their responses were "oh wow, that's cool" and then went on about their lives.

  WildWilly1,

  You are 100% correct in guessing the name of the resort. You know the rules and situation very well. I'm thankful for evolution! Now you tickled me with the example of "free mustache rides". LOL I've seen a lot of things at various places but I know that would not be tolerated at WTR during normal activities. I envision a person would at the minimum be spoken to very sternly but imagine they would be shown the gate and told not to return. The only way I can see this being accepted is during the 'Adults Only' Halloween Party which is the only time of the year when adults only is the rule. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  By the way, I hope you and the misses are doing well and hope to see you soon!

  Some of these responses strain credulity and proves my point about individualism and singular rather than communal perspectives defining what makes for appropriate body accessories in a naturist nudist environment. Time will tell if my point about this being a contributing factor in US nudist opportunities is true but so far given the rapid loss of nudist spaces both private and public suggest prescience on my part.

  I thought being a social nudist made me stand out from the crowd and I was being my unique self. I dont feel the need to augment my cock and balls with scrap metal to make an impression.

  Look, some guys like to decorate their dicks, I get that, I dont have a problem with it. What bothers me is all the lies and deflection they use to justify it.

  Is it evolution?
  Is it just jewellery?
  Is it a conversation starter?

  Or is it a replacement for something thats missing, like a personality?

  Ive yet to meet, or see a shiny cock guy be the life of the party.

  It funny because as long people insist on defining nudism as the state of being naked then all the adornments will seem acceptable as "nudistic" or what ever new word they make up to justify their behavior. However, it was longstanding belief among genuine nudists that skimpy clothing (string bikinis, thongs etc) or any other adornments of the body is what sexualizes the body in a social nudity context. That is what differentiated nudism from other activities where a person may be naked. Those core beliefs have all been thrown by the wayside by online nakedness and libertine crowd.

  We are nudists. The genitals are like any other part of the body in our opinion. Some people like to wear jewellery to decorate their body. What*s the difference between an ear ring and a penis ring? My thoughts are the same as with any other piece of jewellery. I like it or it doesn't suit my taste. A problem are cock rings that lead to a full erection. I think that are sex toys and have nothing to do with nudism.

  If I wear a cockring which is rarely and never at a beach, its because I want my penis and balls be pronounced and remain enlarged. Its a sexual thing. Probably inappropriate, not that it would bother me, but I understand why some think so.

  I do enjoy wearing cock rings because i like the feeling, especially those heavier, metal ones. I often wear them for several hours when doing my chores or working in the garden. Rarely use them for sex as my wife is not into it. Would not wear them at a family nudist beach though...

  Calling those sexual accessories jewelry is an adventure missing the point. Who fully embrace the way of life dont wear adornments of any kind. So that just speaks to the idea that there is nothing nudist about wearing such items anymore when wearing earrings is somehow nudist.

  Associating with nudism is just a cover, despite all the verbal and semantic machinations

  I wear a ring on my penis daily. I'm uncertain why they are called glans rings while a so called cock ring includes circling the scrotum. Been there tried that. Uncomfortable as hell. The ring on my dick is as automatic as the ring on my finger. After the shower, I pick one from my assortment and put it on for the day. Yesterday, I visited a clothing optional venue and saw a few other men wearing rings as well as a female with a clit piercing to accent her smooth vulva. I was neither offended nor was I thinking of hitting on her. Live and let live.

So no nudist should wear a wedding band, or a necklace, sunglasses, a toe ring, an ankle bracelet, etc, etc, etc...because all of those things are adornments. And per your words people who fully embrace nudism dont wear adornments of any kind. So 99% of the women who go to the resort I go to aren't really nudist, because they wear earrings or a wedding band, right? Even the ones who live at the resort full time. All you're accomplishing here is trying to be a gatekeeper of nudism, and failing quite hard at it.

  There is an obvious and crucial difference between normal jewellery and genital decoration.

  Normal jewellery is designed to be seen while being dressed.

  So the question becomes, are you saying youre a nudist because you share the nudist philosophy or are you a nudist because you have this cock and you want people to notice how shiny youve made it?

  The later is his most nudist see the cockazzeled men. And thats our observed fact over a number of years.

And thats our observed fact over a number of years.[/quote] I have been a nudist since I was a child, age 8 is when I started my journey of nudism. No one else in my entire family is/was a nudist that I am aware of. But I couldn't get past the thought/want of shedding my clothes, which I did as often as possible. Thankfully I grew up on a big farm so there was plenty of forest to go roam nude without being seen. I had the love of nudism long before I ever got to the point I started tattooing and piercing my body. I was in fact a body piercer for 5 years and pierced almost all of my own piercings, which I had 50 at one point all over my body. I was a nudist before the jewelry, I am still a nudist with the jewelry. Your perception of who and what I am simply because I chose to pierce my genitals is exactly that, yours. And your opinion definitely doesn't mean more to me than my own. You can choose to love it, to not like it, care less about it, be disgusted by it, etc..and that's all on you. As far as the "normal jewelry" comment, the above commenter stated that nudist wear no adornments in his opinion. Which is why I called out how ignorant that statement was. There are TONS of nudist who wear necklaces, wedding bands, toe rings, watches, etc. That doesn't make them somehow less of a nudist, which is the point he was driving that true nudist wear no adornments.

You on the other hand made a clear statement that "true" nudist wear no adornments. Per your words that includes anything that isn't the natural nude body. Thus wedding bands, earrings, watches, toe rings, etc are all included in your all encompassing comment. How a person looks is no one's business but that person's. How you choose to judge them for their appearance is completely on you, not them. A person's behavior is what they should be judged for. If a nudist is being vulgar, sexual, harassing, etc then they should be called out and judged for that bad behavior. A woman walking along a nude beach with nipple rings, or a man walking along side her with a Prince Albert piercing are just two nudist who enjoy being naked at the beach. Whatever bits of metal they have attached to their body does not take away from the fact they are nudist. Contrary to what you have stated, individuality is a very healthy part of society, nudism as a whole is a rebellion against the norm and a need for individuality. But you judge those who choose to be different from you within the nudist community. Says a lot more about you than it does them.

Especially with this part right here: "individuality is a very healthy part of society, nudism as a whole is a rebellion against the norm and a need for individuality" Imagine being part of a community many would consider counter culture and that, at its core, is about celebration of freedom just to try and police entry and eligibility like those that would choose to exclude you from "normal" society for not enjoying wearing clothes all of the time.

  A counter culture is still a culture with its own codes of conduct and expectations of behaviour.

  Just because it has one thing you like (nudity) does not mean its a free for all to do what you like culture.

  [quote] "individuality is a very healthy part of society, nudism as a whole is a rebellion against the norm and a need for individuality" [/quote] This is a distinctly American view and perspective on nudism. One where individuality takes precedence over community. In parts of the world where nudism is growing community and connection rather than just individual expression is more the focus. So this may be why we see nudism on the decline. I respectfully disagree with you take on nudism being about individual rebellion but I understand given the distorted individualistic approach to nudism that tends to be favored in U.S. how you got to that conclusion.

  This is a fundmental issue of import to this debate. If you look at most of the posts advocating the genital jewelry the focus is me my and I. I was this, my enjoyment, my pleasure. Very little action is paid to the communal culture that was for a long time the heart beat of nudism. Once nudism got defined as getting naked and nudity of any kind became synonymous with nudism the individual libertine culture or should I say sub culture took hold and is now superceding nudism by trying to define nudism exclusively through that lens. This is why in the US at least nudism has continued to diminish. There is no common ground for anyone in the main to suppor.t When they look at what now passes for nudist culture there is only the notion of the individual who wants to get naked whenever and whenever with what others rightly see as purely sexual overtones despite protestations of the libertines to the contrary. Brian Hoffmans book Naked - A cultural history of American Nudism does a great job at examining this change. When the last nude beach is closed and only a few resorts remain I belive history will show that we squandered the social good will from the golden age of nudism for an exclusively individual liberty idea which has no chance of successful what so ever. Then the liberating sub culture will find another ism to attach itself to and nudism will be no more.

  It's so pleasant to read one of my own defending the attributes of individualism so adroitly! Thanks to my well-adorned bare son.

  If nudists aren't anything else, they are typically people who think outside of the norm, and that includes making themselves into personal art if they have that desire. My decision to wear sandals to keep from hurting my feet on the rocks which do frequent our roads here at the resort is mine to make and no one else's. There is realistic expression of self and then there is the ridiculous and altogether inappropriate effort to make everyone conform to someone else's ideals. Being socially bare adds a level of thought to the equation which should remove some of the preconceptions which are otherwise lost to the world of cloth. By removing the guardrails, put in place by the covering up of the natural human body, this action allows us to show our truest selves, choosing to put aside the false comfort of covering up physically. A whole host of mental freedoms come along with the denuding of the skin, letting the real person show through. Like it or not, this is me, deal with it or keep on truckin'.

  I've known nudists who do follow a strict regimen of nothing at all between them and the elements and the natural world, and I've watched with a little smile as they go forth without shoes, ouching their way across a field of grass which just happens to have sand spurs growing amongst the actual lawn. If it is cold we wear a robe; if we cannot handle much sun we wear a hat; if it is snowing we wear snowshoes. And if we care to augment ourselves with body art which offends someone, the external view is the viewer's to manage, not the work of art they cannot wrench their eyes away from ~ or cannot stand to look at. Nudism comes with a freedom of expression that is part of our human constitution ~ if the person doing the unnecessary assessment of someone else has too weak a constitution to handle the view, realize that is not important to the piece of artwork's sensibilities.

  There are limits to this, without a doubt. Like wearing, in a public nude area, jewelry which is solely and clearly worn to bring up and out the wearer's sexual arousal, or having a tattoo that states the individual's penchant for buggering. You are what you eat, so-to-speak. Wear what you will to that adult-oriented rope typing camp, but have a little more respect for the rest of the nudist community, thank you.

  For an extreme example: take a made-up person's unfortunate decision to have a swastika tattooed on one buttcheek and a Star of David on the adjoining buttock. When first sighting such a display of contradiction, one might ponder what level of alcohol did it take to reach that decision? Offense may be taken at one of those symbols, or both for that matter. It seems likely there will soon be a large ground war somewhere down the dark and scary crack between them cheeks. People seeing this may understandably judge the wearer as a racist or a self-righteous zealot, or a fool who got lost down the yin-yang highway, and they might form an opinion on that person without a word. I would move my towel away from that spot on the nude beach. Hate speech will follow the artwork - and that would be the bearer's proverbial 'cross to bear' if they bared it. The idea that by having it applied to their posterior they may in essence be saying to the viewer, "I've put all that shit behind me." Many people upon seeing this would be aghast, and in no way be the least bit interested in communicating with someone who would wear something like that. The idea that would come to this viewer's mind would include the assumption that the person wants no friends. But then again, that would be the antithesis of the desire to be socially nude, would it not?
