I try not to be too philosophical with nudity.
Im nude any opportunity that I have.
I work from home nude, garden nude, drive nude, pretty much anything nude I can do without overtly offending others or getting arrested.
The basic reason I wish/need to be nude is because its comfortable, its relaxing, and its easy.
It just comes naturally.
I dont like the confining feeling of clothing. Bunching of sock material in shoes, tags in shirts, restrictive pants waists- Ugh! A day at the office is torture.
If Im going to a nude beach because I find a cotton T-shirt or nylon bathing suit to be uncomfortable, I cant imagine why I would want to squeeze my penis or scrotum through some metal ring or bind my genitals with wires or leather straps.
Now THAT sounds uncomfortable.
I cant imagine why anyone would want to do that unless they want to be noticed.ReactReply - MEMemberMay 15, 2024

You have seen the elephant in the room and confirmed it is an elephant:
"I cant imagine why anyone would want to do that unless they want to be noticed."
Some folks just want to ignore the elephant, pretend it is just a small, un-noticed accessory and wonder about all the fuss. It truly does not make sense to me but it's not my deal. The rest of us just get to 'cover' for it by our own actions. We'll all press on and hope for the best.

Does he just like the feel of the weight on his cock? Or does he wear one for comfort (and I knew a man who did just that... it pushed his balls forward so that they didn't interfere with his sitting down). If he's wearing diamond-studded cock rings, though, it's definitely for show. It calls attention to his vanity far more than his love for being nude.ReactReply - ST

EarlDMay 17, 2024You make an interesting point about the elephant in the room and attempts to ignore or trivialize the impact. There seems to be a tendency to take outlier type experiences a guy with oversized testicles" and position them as normal for nudists and rationalize them for the general public. It seems like an effort to justify certain behavior. I just keep asking myself why? Why try to take behavior that is clearly limited to a small group of people and try to make it the norm?

JohnMay 19, 2024StevieLorna wrote:[quote] Was he deformed in some manner? Sitting down for men isnt an issue.[/quote] He didn't seem to be. He just felt that it was more comfortable for him. I kind of agree with the argument that outlier's behavior shouldn't be construed as the norm. All the same, I'm willing to cut that guy some slack, since I knew he wasn't bullshitting me. He's one of the most honest and unassuming people I've ever met. But I don't buy the idea that just because somebody does something for a good reason (at least to him) means that somebody else can do it for a clearly frivolous reason.ReactReply - SA
Stone AndyMay 20, 2024I wear a cock ring at home naked as well as clothed. It is clear and does not draw attention to itself, though it positions my penis and testicles to be more prominent. I haven't worn it at a nude beach because there are none around. I consider my cock ring a good tool - combined with a lot of focused exercise - for improving my anterior pelvic tilt. This is a condition where my genitals are positioned under my stomach and my butt sticks out due to weak core muscles caused by too much sitting. Now my legs, stomach and chest are more aligned and as a result my penis is more proudly in front. I still have a long way to go (ncluding losing an inch of belly fat) and consider my cock ring positive reinforcement. Perhaps we should consider women's brassiers an elephant in the room because they call attention to their breasts and unnaturally defy gravity.

EarlDMay 20, 2024You know if an individual wants to use pretzel logic to justify their own behavior I dont have an issue. Its the generalization of that to normalize that makes it unttenable for me. Don't try to normalize what are individual actions as generally accepted norms of behavior for the nudist community.

EarlDMay 20, 2024Since I don't know this person I would not presume to make assumptions about his motives or intent. My concern is using that individuals actions to justify the behavior in general since it isn't easily generalized to a norm in the broader population of the nudist and naturist community.

JohnJun 13, 2024An update of sorts:
I posted something about a friend of mine who used a cock-and-ball ring, which he claimed made him more comfortable by pulling his scrotum forward so that his balls didn't get in the way of his sitting down or moving. One of the posters on the thread scoffed at the idea.
Well, I was cleaning out my garage a couple of weeks ago and found some rings, one of which was about 2 inches in diameter. On a whim, I put it on to see if it made a difference. As it happened, I went on a weekend camp-out at a nudist resort here, and wore it much of the time. My pubic hair concealed it from public view, although at this particular resort, it would have been tolerated if it were visible.
Result: it did what my friend claimed. It wasn't as marked on my body as it was on his, because his scrotum was larger than mine, but it definitely got the testicles more out of the way when I was sitting. Erotic effect: zero. Pleasure effect: almost nil, although I did feel it, and liked the small difference it made, simply because it was different than the usual sensation. Much like wearing contact lenses or a watch, it's something you feel but don't notice it once the novelty wears off.
So if I saw somebody wearing such a device, I wouldn't give it a second thought. It works as advertised, and I'd put it in the same category as a support bra for a full-breasted woman, or sandals or sunglasses when the environment mandates them. If it were heavily adorned with jewels or something, that would be a different matter entirely.

Chrispy1937Jun 14, 2024I met a guy at Studland wearing a cock ring. We discussed it at length and then he allowed me to remove it and then he fitted it on me. Then heremoved it and I fitted it back on him. interesting exercise!

StevieLornaJun 14, 2024Studland beach is Englands most well known naturist beach. Right now it is fighting for its continued existence because of the unacceptable behaviour of a few perverts. Everyone who uses this beach knows this, but it seems one interesting experience is more important to some.
Woodsman thanks for taking on the social experiment, but its just like an underwire bra?
Seriously?

Considering that both men were essentially handling each other's genitals during the transfer, the allowance of this kind of activity is what will probably make Studland into just another place lost to healthy social nudity -- unless this scene happened back in the dunes or otherwise out of view of the general population. Seeing two guys wandering back into the dunes lends the bare space an air of overt sexual activity. That has doomed many naturist's places. I don't care to bring my nude family for an afternoon of sun and fun anywhere near that adult action. All I'd hear would be, "Grampa, where are those men going? Is there a playground back there?" Why yes, there is a playground, but only for consenting adults - and this sort of sexualized interaction will likely ruin the natural place for wholesome nudism. It happened locally to the only beach we had, a nature preserve which allowed nudism to be practiced until a sexual element began and became news and the authorities did what they had to do to stop people fucking around on the sand in view of everyone. A more 'interesting exercise' would be to keep hands to oneself on a public beach, and try to remember that the bigger picture is more important than any instant gratification achieved by the tempt of intimate contact, and the likely attachment of libidinous-driven action to nudism by those people who don't know any better. Instead, exercise restraint - keep nude beaches out of controversy and keep them open.ReactReply - ST
StevieLornaJun 14, 2024WW, is the interesting experience a genuine encounter, or just a piece of fantasy fiction. It doesnt matter.
If true, did it happen in full view of others or in private in the dunes. It doesnt matter.
If someone is looking to shut down a naturist beach they can come to this website and say here is the evidence, point directly to the interesting experience and say this is whats happening.

EarlDJun 14, 2024The underlying issue is fantasy or not these individual only care about their own experience and have little regard for the impact their "interesting exercise" has on others who just want to enjoy the beach clothes free. Sadly this is what it has come to for nudism and naturism and the result will be the continued loss of public spaces for non sexual social nudism.

EarlDJun 14, 2024Nudists nudist need to stop trying to justify this kind of thing in the name of openness. Not everything that is possible is useful. Every movement and sustainable group has boundaries and guardrails. When people who call themselves nudists advocate for no limits it makes me wonder about motives. The no limits approach has never worked out for the nudist community to its benefit and it isnt now. After all even swingers have rules.

To me it seems like a sexual encounter more than anything, handling each others genitals, strangers too. Call me a prude if you want but I don't think it's appropriate at a public CO beach. I've had two unusual encounters at a beach I go regarding piercings. A guy walked past me to go swimming, I was sitting in the shallows, it was hot. He said hello, I asked did his piercing hurt when he had it done (I had been thinking of getting one), we talked a bit and went separate ways. Another day a different guy saw me look at his piercing, he offered to go into the dunes so I could get a closer look, I declined and walked on. I guess he is like lots of men who proposition women at every opportunity, and some do.
These beaches were legalised for us to be able to swim, get sun and walk the beach naked if we want. At too many of our legal CO beaches sex happens in the dunes and it sometimes causes complaints to authorities from passers by. Those passers by know they are on a CO beach usually and accept that they will see nude people there, sadly mostly men these days, but I'm guessing they don't usually expect to see sexual encounters.
I don't care what people do at home or in each others homes were everyone is a consulting adult. I love being nude at the beach too but don't believe the beaches should be used for sex. My concern is that this behaviour will get our CO beaches closed.

EarlDJun 15, 2024What people do and wear in private is indeed their own business. However, some people seem intent on bringing their private sexual lives into the public sphere and use clothing optional beaches as a venue and excuse for that. They make up all kinds of excuses to justify this action. The resulting impact for genuine nudists seems to be of no consequence to them.
