You 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.It never ceases to amaze the excuses and the whataboutery the older single man can devise to justify his choice.
Since 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.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.
An 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.
I 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!
Studland 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?
Sounds like just another excuse.

With respect, and depending on the style of ring involved, I cannot help but think this trading of jewelry between strangers is way too personal an exchange in a public forum. 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.
WW, 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.
The 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.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.

Nudists 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.Studland beach is Englands most well known naturist beach.
