The notion that what is happening with clothing optional beach closures is unrelated to what is happening in the broader US society is a rather narrow worldview. Here is a simple metaphor to understand why simply blaming others doesnt hold water for me. I know that someone is intent on harming me with a gun the last thing I would think of doing is to give them bullets.
It seems to me that calling another person's opinion and perspective ridiculous while pushing your own is partly why we cant get anything done everyone is focus only on what matters to them. The other part is few people want to focus on the actual issue, instead there a continuous deflection and projection of side and sometimes irrelevant issues. In the end we will all know what is real and what is not 5 years from now if this pattern continues.

I do admit that in most cases, a man wearing a simple cock ring is calling attention to his penis. In my previous remarks, I said that I would try to persuade that person that his cock ring is out of place on a normal nude beach or resort.
I also pointed out that a simple cock-and-ball ring can also be worn as not a sexual signaling device but a means of comfort. And I have gone so far as to test that theory and have found it valid. So I'm going to make allowances for that.

I call you out on BS! What does a cock ring, pierced nipple or clit have to do with a beach closing? NOTHING!
Its pure ignorance...and religion loves to be ignorant to anything other to what they believe!
If someone is having sex in public, thats different! Jewelry is now being perverted by ignorant people!
Guess what, you just fit the mold...........and if you think people will close beaches for jewelry, you cant wrap your head around other things they will shut down! JFC!
The BS response is exactly what I mean. There is no attempt to engage the issue at hand to examine any facts. Just shoot and call BS to try to silence the majority who are being impacted. The list clothing optional places for swimming lost over the last 5-10 is not exhaustive but long enough. They are all across the US and even Australia. They have been closed due to the "authorities" as one commenter calls it using the premise of sexual activity brought about by the presence of the "poor c ring wearing victims". I wont take time to list them because with any minimum effort they, can be found and I I wont support the pejorative approach you have taken.

Woodsman, thats an admiral opinion that I might admire if you can explained to me how you can tell the difference please.
Ill let the rest of the world know. Problem solved.
To the guy calling BS, Ill stop calling it a sexual device and start calling it jewellery when I see cock rings for sale in Tiffanys.
This thread has become 27 pages of nudist culture wars on the weaponization of the cock ring. Call it Exhibit B on the death of a healthy nudist/naturist community. Exhibit A is the decline of this website.
I have a clear silicone cock ring myself and like how it makes my penis protude a bit, following the tradition those who know how to make a picture of white briefs less mundane. It's a reminder to improve my posture, strengthen my core, and watch my diet as I like most Western men have some pelvice anterior tilt (tucking in my groin from too much sitting) and excess belly fat (hanging over my groin). It is not a statement that I am against the concept that all nudity must be nonsexual and family oriented.
If I were to wear a cock ring to a nudist beach, I wouldn't be ashamed of it, but likely take it off because I don't want tan lines and it feels restrictive. If I kept it on, I doubt anyone would notice or care because my cock isn't particularly noteworthy with or without it. If it were more noticeable, like red or something, I personally would consider it like nail polish on women: noticable and not appealing to me. But why get worked up over others' choices? Or ask questions like "What would Jesus or Tiffany's do?"
Breathe. Relax. If you like to take your clothes off around other people, let your attitudes follow. The world won't end because people have different outlooks. And if you really think it will, stay safe in a straight jacket of your body and mind.

Absolutely, as Ive said on this thread many times I could care less what a few old men stick to their groin
My outlook is that is a sexual device sold as sex aid,. Tell me its for some other reason my outlook is not to believe you.
This is rich coming from a person who comments and posts usually include world ending diatribes about victimization from the nudist community. I dont remember any one of us who have concerns about this issue being hyperbolic and saying the world is ending. However, it is factual reality that public spaces for social nudism and nude recreation could indeed come to an end if this way of thinking and behavior is not curbed. Doesnt seem to me that the c ring victims have any interest in that. The only interest is in I. I this I that. And forget families, forget women, forget the people who want to enjoy a non sexual day at a clothing optional beach. Forget the majority we are all just prudes and religious fanatics because we think somethings are not appropriate in public nudist settings.
It has been said before but what you do in private is what you do in private and I dont give a rip if you want to hang a boulder around your balls. But what we do in public impacts others. Putting the onus on everyone else to tolerate your actions that impact us is a type of toxic individuality that seems to be driving many of the mind boggling responses.The world won't end because people have different outlooks. And if you really think it will, stay safe in a straight jacket of your body and mind.

I posted something about that experiment about a month ago, and will repeat it here: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.
BTW, I'm wearing the ring right now. And I'm home, and not in a position to send sexual signals to anybody right now. But it does make sitting more comfortable. But there's so much variation in the size and hang of the scrotum that I would never claim that it's for everybody. When you tell the world, be sure to include that remark.

Woodsman, all I want to know is how you tell the difference?
Answer that honestly and you might just change my mind. Dont say ask them because as we know people lie about their motives.
