I saw a man on a nude beach wearing a penis ring. Any thoughts?

The point I was trying to make as you were indulging the social experiment with the cock ring at your weekend naturist camp out, is While you were supporting your cock and balls, how many of the nudist ladies were wearing support bras?ReactReply - BL

But I have seen them wear them while playing tennis or while jogging. My feeling is: whatever makes you comfortable is legit. That includes glasses, sunglasses, and sandals too. I also wear a hat sometimes, when I want to protect my balding head from the sun, even if I'm not wearing anything else. And sunscreen, of course.ReactReply - ST
StevieLornaJun 19, 2024[quote]He is telling you he is down for fun.[/quote] Whatever you think of the merits of this statement its probably the most honest answer weve had. Extrapolating that to woodsmans response, Perhaps wearing sunglasses means you are down for fun. Oiling up your naked body with sunscreen can only mean you are down for fun times. Sandals. with your toes showing, thats a fetish of fun for someone. And of course, every lady in a bra.. yip that means they are well down for some fun with anyone in a cock ring. Equating wearing a hat to wearing a cock ring is legitimising the down for fun crowd who will end up ruining nudism with their selfish attitude.ReactReply - ST
StevieLornaJun 19, 2024But this isnt really a nudist site.
So does it really matter?

EarlDJun 19, 2024This is the crux of the matter the end result will be the loss of more opportunities to practice actual nudism for the majority who have no problem separating their sexual activities fromnudism.

BlueJun 20, 2024I would not equate a cock ring with a hat, sunglasses, or oil. Nor am I condoning the ring. I am just saying it is my opinion that someone doing that is trying to project something specific about their desires. To think otherwise is kind of naive.

I was simply talking about an aspect of comfort that I have found to be plausible for some men. Your exaggeration clouds your argument, methinks. There are clearly some aspects of genital jewelry that are designed for sexual stimulation, as another poster has noted. I think we can all agree to that. We're all aware that a person wearing jewelry like that is using it for that purpose, and that purpose is not in context with activity on a nudist beach or a family resort. The wearer doesn't have to hold a sign proclaiming that he wants his penis to be noticed. But, as I said, if it's a simple cock-and-ball ring, and the guy isn't sporting an erection, I'd give it a pass.ReactReply - ST

Exhibitionist J SJun 25, 2024I have pierced nipples and a genital piercing and I just don't understand why that should equate to not being a "pure" nudist. I like it because it feels good and I like the way it looks.
I think we have more important issues to worry about in this world than someone being pierced at a nude beach or resort.

StevieLornaJun 26, 2024Its an expression of dismay.
Shakes My Head (with incredulity presumably)
Oh and BTW, for clarity, to stop my balls hitting me in the face was an exaggeration yes, but it was said to emphasise the ridiculousness of the excuse that corralling your cock and balls is for comfort.

JohnJun 28, 2024What makes this topic interesting to me is that it highlights a lot of attitudes that people have regarding what they want their bodies to look like. Some people don't care very much... it's a "what you see is what you get" sort of thing. I guess you could fall into that category.
Others go to great lengths to achiever perfectly even tans, even if it means using reflectors and such. Others (particularly women) use strategic tan lines to accentuate certain parts of their bodies that they want attention drawn to. Clearly they're not doing it to achieve some nudist ideal.
Some spend hours in the gym to achieve what they consider good definition and muscular form. Others don't, except to spend time doing sports that they enjoy. (Interestingly, the nudism movement in Europe was propelled mainly by this goal of achieving the ideal body through sporting events and calesthenics, a notion that many nudists today would repudiate.)
Some people go for tattoos, ranging from a simple butterfly or Chinese character to elaborate designs covering their whole bodies. Some of these designs can be interpreted to be suggestive, while others cannot.
Some people have ear studs. Others have nose studs or tongue studs, or other piercings. None of these serve any practical purpose, except possiby for erotic stimulation, but they're not usually the kind of things you can easily take off when you visit a nudist resort. The fact that they're there doesn't indicate that you're into erotic stimulation at that particular time.
Some have jewelry that serves no purpose other than to adorn. Others wear rings to indicate that they're engaged or married. That's clearly a communication about their availability for certain types of social interaction.
So what exactly are all these variations to your standard human form intended to communicate? To what extent do they complement a person's goal of presenting a certain image to the world? To what extent do they hamper that goal? These are things that we are always asking when we define ourselves as nudists. I don't think there's ever going to be an answer that suits everybody. All I can add is Kurt Vonnegut's famous dictum: "We are who we pretend to be, so we must be very careful about who we pretend to be."
I'll see you all at the beach, whatever you look like.

On the beach with your cock ring, be honest, I wear this because Im old but I still want people to notice I have a penis. Look, look how pretty Ive made it. Anyone up for fun?ReactReply - EA

JohnJun 30, 2024[quote]So much obfuscation why? [/quote] Because clarity doesn't get us anywhere, unless you're looking for simple responses like "I just like it" or "I just don't like it" or "whatever floats your boat." I was interested in the whole topic of what's considered proper in the way of body adornment. And I didn't even get started on hair... what some people shave or trim or color, and other people don't, and why they choose to do so. Do we regard a woman who's shaved her pubes into a landing strip the same way as we'd regard a man with a cock ring? Would we be hypocrites if we did? As I said earlier, there's so much of a range of possibilities on the subject of body adornment that a consensus will never be achieved. But we should respect other people's decisions, even if we don't agree with them.ReactReply - EA
EarlDJun 30, 2024Respect isnt a one way street and you seem to always default to the side o those who see respect for their feelings as paramount without consideration of the impact of their behavior on the lives of others. Hike you are bending over backwards to accommodate the stuff you aim to respect is causing nude spaces to be lost all over. Byron Bay in Australia is only the latest example.
I cant help but wonder if you have more skin in the game that is being expressed. Pun intended.
As to clarity I guess I believe if you dont stand for anything you will fall for everything.ReactReply
