Freaks and clowns belong in the circus, not on a public beach.Judgemental much?
In case you have not noticed, nudists are as much if not more judgmental than the average group of people. They are less accepting not more accepting of peoples differences. Yes they want to say it is about body acceptance, but what about the acceptance of the mind as well. People do various things for many different reasons. As long as they are not hurting someone else, why does it matter what they choose to do or wear. I know for me, I have a prince albert piercing. I love the way the extra weight feels and makes the little guy move around a bit more while walking around. I am fairly average in size, but a grower not a shower. This helps my confidence a bit as it keeps me from retracting too much and, to me, that can be embarrassing. I know this happens to many guys when they are sitting a certain way, but I cannot help how it makes "me" feel. I know I should not feel this way, but I do. I do not wear the ring for sex as it is distracting to me, so I guess it is not really a sexual thing as well. I also have nipple piercings. I have them because I like the way they feel, and the way they make me feel. They are likely more sexual than my penis piercing I suppose. I take them all out generally more because of how others react than how I feel about it. Although sometimes, I leave them in if I am more adventurous or just do not care that day about how people react. I feel the same way about erections. I generally enjoy it when I get an erection just laying around alone or with my wife by my pool. It just feels good in the sun. One day when doing so with my wife, she even made a comment to which I replied that I am not getting any younger and I want to feel comfortable being however I want to be around her and especially when at home. So, I get an erection any time I feel like doing so. There is no reason to not when hanging out at the house by the pool, or just sitting around watching tv. I am obviously not doing so to attract attention as there is no one else around. While at a nude beach, and if I am not close to others, I sometimes will "allow" myself the freedom that way, and a simple caress that glances by my penis or simply touching my wife will get me going and just completes the laying in the sun experience. I am not just sitting there stroking myself either and I certainly do not go flaunting it around or go out of my way to make sure others see it. On the other hand I would not mind if others may notice my erection as long as they do not react adversely. My penis is just as much a part of me as any other part of my body. I am not interested in apologizing for it or hiding it either. I am not saying I would advocate for public sex or anything, but then again, I wouldn't be the one to complain if I saw someone fooling around off on their own and not bothering others. People and especially nudists need to just stop judging so much and focus on their own experience.
As for jewelry, I pretty much accept what people like to wear, just as I accept the way they cut their hair or shape their beards or shave their pubes. If they're way out of the norm for these things, I do give myself permission to speculate on why they've chosen that image. But I try to treat them all the same.
There needs to be more nudists that behave as you have described. I enjoy the diversity and embrace everyone's differences. That is what makes life so interesting. If everyone was the same people would be boring.
However, when there is a 3,700 year old requirement of a religion."And God created man in his own image" and then later said, "hang on, that bit of skin on the end of the penis is no good so anyone who follows me has to cut it off!"Let us not forget that religion was created by man, the Bible was written by man and translations were done by man; ergo, the greatest work of fiction of all time and it's not just Christianity either - ALL religions are about controlling people!But, as this post is about jewelry, there is a slight digression.Jewelry has always been about attracting a member of the opposite sex for mating; genital jewelry has always been about enhancing sexual arousal and pleasure which is why so many nudist resorts ban all forms of genital jewelry - and quite rightly so. Nudism (naturism) is about the enjoyment of a clothes free lifestyle in a non-sexual environment. Unfortunately, so many people believe otherwise.
You had me for the first half of this post and then lost me. You seem to directly counter your original sentiment seemingly despising religion for it being created to control people and then dive right in to your own controlling rhetoric. Very typical of humans. The are all about the rules as long as "they" are the ones that make the rules. Whether you call it being a "Nudist", "Naturist", and just people that like to naked in a social environment. It is all simply depicting one simple trait these people have in common. Lack of clothing....period. Stop trying to make it a religion or cult. We do not all live by the same rules. Even those that frequent clubs live outside the bounds of the rules even of that club. The rules are there to deal with certain individuals when they get out of line and are offending others.
I really want to get my nipples pierced. The eternal question (at least, to start) is: nipple RINGS or Barbells?I'm leaning rings...My tongue is already pierced!
Barbells will heal faster, then if you want rings you can always change them out.
Hi everyone.I had a conversation about this topic with one of my daughters the other day. She wants to put piercings into her nipples and the clit. I asked her why, and she answered that she wants to look cool at the nudist beach, or every time she is naked. I'm wondering if it's appropriate at her age (15) since I suppose her breasts are still growing. Yes, she already has nice ones, but I'm not sure how this will affect her nipples if they grow a little bit more. I'm also wondering how the piercing affects the clit while she is having sex. She admits she does not know, but her girlfriend already did it, and she says that it's ok. Namely, the other girl says that the sex is even better with the piercing on the clit. I don't have any piercings myself, but I have a friend who owns a tattoo and piercing studio, he also says that it's cool for girls and that he would do it if I agreed.
Seems bit young for me, but that is just me. If you are fine with it, and obviously she wants the piercings, then I say go for it. But I am much more liberal than some when it comes to such things and especially sex. Parents try too hard to shield their kids from sex and then they just go off and learn/do things with very little guidance. I say it is great that she is able to have this open conversation with her father. That is a great start.
All we can rely on when it comes to this world is our personal experience. The way opinion and facts are becoming so murky due to a lot of variables, like the news media being overrun by non-media persons with agendas to push, and these same people saying lies that are repeated enough times that some dullards begin to parrot the falsehoods, we can trust very little in the world of information now. So where does that leave us but to live life and learn the old fashioned way - by interacting with others wherever we choose as our place in the world. Experience is the best teacher.
The partial quote below seems to come from one person's interactions with a limited cross-section of the world of nudism. I cannot deny that there still exists inside the nudist community the very human (and unfortunate) desire to judge others. But to go the next step, to posit that there is a higher level of hypercritical types inside the culture of naturism, I cannot agree. Live and let live seems much more prevalent, though since this is just one full-time nudist's opinion, so it means little.
Strong feelings about specific aspects of living nude not found in the clothed world can become over-studied, especially in a forum such as True Nudists. You generally won't find people in the world of clothes openly conversing about what is an appropriate level of acceptable sexual activity on a public beach, much less a parent discussing their underage children's desire to get genital jewelry to enhance their sexual interaction or appeal. These are only two items in this forum that help to instill an underlying perverseness to nudism, and nothing that helps our larger cause of nudism's acceptance by the general population. The fact that this section is allowed to remain in True Nudists does show that this area of communicating ideas is more free to expand on the nuances of social nudism, even the dark underbelly, without regard to hurting each other's feelings or with little care about breaking any laws.
As nudists, if we are to thrive and prosper, we need to be ever diligent to accept other people's minds and bodies more than the people in the outside world do, a place that seems to rely on judgement to function. One nudist's view here -- I think we're doing a shitload better than the clothers. My relationship with the nudists I love and live around and socialize with and work with is vibrant and full, diverse and free. True Nudists is not a realistic microcosm of the world's bare population. Though hot tub rules do apply - no politics or religion, please.In case you have not noticed, nudists are as much if not more judgmental than the average group of people. They are less accepting not more accepting of peoples differences. Yes they want to say it is about body acceptance, but what about the acceptance of the mind as well.... People and especially nudists need to just stop judging so much and focus on their own experience.
Willy you make some very good points.
I can relate a personal experience to demonstrate some of the points you bring up.
A little over six months ago, on a naturist vacation, we were laying by the pool. A solo male in his late 60s took the lounger beside mine (there were many free). I had seen him around the last couple of days but this was the first we spoke.
We small talked for about ten minutes or so, but he said that this was the longest conversation hed had here as most people just avoid him and he didnt know why.
I asked him if he had this problem when introducing himself when he had clothes on.
He said no, I make friends quite easy in the textile world.
I asked, when dressed and meeting someone for the first time, do you introduce yourself by saying hello Im Brian, I have enough metal in my cock and balls to repair and re-float The Titanic?
Shocked, he replied of course not.
Why not?
He stumbled for a reply, and after a moment, thats not something Id tell people I meet for the first time.
Do you think they would get the wrong impression?
Yes, they probably would.
Well Brain, around here you might not be saying the words, but thats exactly how you are introducing yourself to the other nude people. And you wonder why they avoid you, perhaps the only people who might like that look are the other walking battleship repair kits.
I have absolutely no problem which what you decorate yourself with, but its never going to be a substitute for a personality.
We spoke briefly a few times in passing after that, but only small talk.

You have such a wonderful way with words and the example you share should be well taken by a discerning reader.
