I have finally decided to stop taking mine out. I too have a PA and my wife has clit piercings. Then again we do not think we all have to act like nuns and monks to be nudists. We enjoy being free to be how ever we feel appropriate at the time. If that excludes us from being a true nudist, then so be it. What I am is a human that enjoys being naked whenever possible, and it is even more enjoyable when around other like minded people. Sometimes that might be in a more sexually liberated environment. It is interesting how people that live a life that is in a significant minority to the rest of society still feel the need to criticize anyone that strays even just a little from how they think nudism should be. I think most nudists are much more open minded yet afraid for others to know, or they just follow the leader when others speak out critically to ones that dont toe the line. I say, loosen up, and live a little.
Being naked does not make one a nudist.Showing off jewelry aound your genitalia is not nudist for most genuine nudists. The current issue of "N" does have an entire article on tatoos and piercings. Some I agree with, some I don't.To reply to the individual who asked me about a penis bracelet - the only description I can think of - is NOT nudist.I have spoken with state legislators once too often to keep what we have as far as nudist venues. I will continue to promote vanilla nudism. Travelites has gone through 25 years and is still growing strong with over 100 members who support my stand.
And I guess you are the expert, judge/jury for all other genuine nudists. Just because you feel the need to promote vanilla nudism because that is the most effective way to get the rest of society to allow you to maintain the nudist venues that you have fought for, does not mean that you have the right to judge others. Even though you are successful in your efforts, does not justify you belittling and marginalizing others because they do not agree with your vanilla definition of nudism.

Vanilla nudism is not nudism, it is a part of nudism and one that restricts nudists in many ways. Travelites has done much for supprting nudism, but it certainly is not the only club to uphold the nudist profile. Let's take White Tail resort. It used to restrict piercings to t he point my wife and I couldn't attend. She has a nipple ring. Today, however, WTR is open to most piercings and actively promotes a Tattoo and Piercing Weedend at the park, a weekend that helps support the park by bringing in new revenue and new people each year. Learning to grow with the community is the best way to support and promote nudism.I recognize your commitment to educating lesgislators, but I have talked with my share of state, local and federal law makers, been involved in several law suits and also been arrested for the cause. I have appeared on Tabboo, news articles, and even been mentioned on The tonight Show and David Letterman. I think that my wife and I can claim the nudist title.Divisiveness is more damaging to the nudist world than any of the other petty arguments we have. Piercings, tattoos, smoking and other incidental issues shold take a back seat to what is really important, the fact that as a person, we should have the right to wear what we want, being respectful of others' rights to do the same. "Clothed when appropriate, naked when we can."This is not meant as an attack, I fully believe that you are a positve force in our community and hope this will be taken in the spirit of discussion as it is intended.
Your comments are so refreshing to see. Finally someone with some sense.
