Reading this thread leaves me with a feeling of sadness. Maybe Im nave but Ive felt nudists are above the judging, name calling and bullheadedness evident here. Maybe Im foolish to think Id enjoy going to a nudist resort for an extended stay where people can be authentic and have nothing to hide behind. Perhaps Im overly idealistic to think that the vulnerability our own nakedness creates gives a deeper, more profound respect for ourselves and others who present themselves naked among strangers.
Do I have my own opinions about jewelry and tattoos, including on genitals? Sure. Do they matter much? Not really. If the adornments are a way of calling attention to someone, I can see it as evidence of issues or an invitation to chat. I recall one conversation with a young man half my age about his tatts where my first thought was Youre gonna regret those when youre my age. Instead I was open and inquisitive and had a wonderful dialogue with an intelligent, articulate young man who focused on living a life of integrity and values which were all reflected in his body art. Regardless of my impressions, the tattoos were all beautiful in reflecting his inner courage and beauty.
Please strip off your judging with your clothes and let others be naked and proud. You will find angels among us in scary off-putting guises and incredibly beautiful people who may lack an ounce of empathy. Rise to the occasion and judge people for their actions without getting hung up on how someone reminds you of somebody in fourth grade. You can do better than that! Celebrate humanity and diversity in nudism, and you will celebrate yourself not despite your anxieties and flaws, but because of them. We are all already whole and beautiful just as we are.
What happened to live and let live each to their own.if everybody toed the line we would all be dressed quit trying to make everyone fit your mold if you have a problem with jewelry it's you who has the problem. Obviously they don't.
Wore it many a time in gay nude beaches, gay nude friendly resorts, in bars/clubs whilst sitting down I pull it out via leg of shorts and display, Spain , in Canary Islands , aldo in Madrid, I find wearing them in pulic, my balls swinging and rubbing makes me hard and short shorts can only hide so much in public
We need thumbs up and down on the forums so people can see how others feel about their comments. Maybe there is one and I just don't see it.
Thumbs Up on your comment. I joined to be with nudists. I'm finding it difficult to find them. I was chatting with a guy in pm. Just discussing everyday stuff. Somehow the chat got to be about our wives. He asks if my wife and I are "f***ing" a lot. I told him I was surprised by his comment and that my sex life was not the target of our conversation. He replied "I'm sorry, I just get so horny on this site". I was tempted to just block him right then and there. Is it just me, I don't get horny looking at other nudists. And its not like my libido is dead or anything. It just takes way more than a naked body to do it for me.
Anyway, co-rant over.
Commercial pools can kill all the commonly transmittable STI's instantly except Hep C. Urine isn't a health risk, but the added fluids to make for unpleasant potential.
I'm not particularly worried about an ounce or two of body fluids diluted in 30,000 gallons (or more) of chlorinated water. And what most people don't even realize, is that healthy urine is sterile.
Someone had sex in the pool? So what?
Im curios as to why its ok to shave ones genitals to draw attention to them but if you add jewelry you get labeled as a pervert. I cant for work have jewelry seen other then a wedding ring so I have a couple and like it and so does the wife. I do not keep them in for sex most the time.
Shaving, at least for most of us, is a personal preference comfort issue. Some say shaving is wrong. Jewelry is a personal preference of a different type but still a personal preference. I know my wife some friends and I all think jewelry looks ridiculous so we wouldnt have it. But we all say if thats what you like then go for it. We may think it looks ridiculous but otherwise it has no impact or bearing to us. Some say shaving looks ridiculous as well. Id say neither qualifies one as a pervert, its just personal preference.
