I guess this is one of the questions one only can discuss in the USA.
My vieuw is that anyone is free to do as he likes. Is that not the basic rule of freedom?
Body decorations are of all times and will live on forever as long as there are humans on earth.
I myself am more chocked seeing a burka in the street than a naked person... but that is my point of vieuw and not all do agree!
I try not to be too philosophical with nudity.
Im nude any opportunity that I have.
I work from home nude, garden nude, drive nude, pretty much anything nude I can do without overtly offending others or getting arrested.
The basic reason I wish/need to be nude is because its comfortable, its relaxing, and its easy.
It just comes naturally.
I dont like the confining feeling of clothing. Bunching of sock material in shoes, tags in shirts, restrictive pants waists- Ugh! A day at the office is torture.
If Im going to a nude beach because I find a cotton T-shirt or nylon bathing suit to be uncomfortable, I cant imagine why I would want to squeeze my penis or scrotum through some metal ring or bind my genitals with wires or leather straps.
Now THAT sounds uncomfortable.
I cant imagine why anyone would want to do that unless they want to be noticed.

You have seen the elephant in the room and confirmed it is an elephant:
"I cant imagine why anyone would want to do that unless they want to be noticed."
Some folks just want to ignore the elephant, pretend it is just a small, un-noticed accessory and wonder about all the fuss. It truly does not make sense to me but it's not my deal. The rest of us just get to 'cover' for it by our own actions. We'll all press on and hope for the best.

You have to wonder... does the guy wear any cock rings when he's alone? Does he just like the feel of the weight on his cock? Or does he wear one for comfort (and I knew a man who did just that... it pushed his balls forward so that they didn't interfere with his sitting down).
If he's wearing diamond-studded cock rings, though, it's definitely for show. It calls attention to his vanity far more than his love for being nude.
You make an interesting point about the elephant in the room and attempts to ignore or trivialize the impact. There seems to be a tendency to take outlier type experiences a guy with oversized testicles" and position them as normal for nudists and rationalize them for the general public. It seems like an effort to justify certain behavior. I just keep asking myself why? Why try to take behavior that is clearly limited to a small group of people and try to make it the norm?Some folks just want to ignore the elephant, pretend it is just a small, un-noticed accessory and wonder about all the fuss.

He didn't seem to be. He just felt that it was more comfortable for him.
I kind of agree with the argument that outlier's behavior shouldn't be construed as the norm. All the same, I'm willing to cut that guy some slack, since I knew he wasn't bullshitting me. He's one of the most honest and unassuming people I've ever met.
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.
I wear a cock ring at home naked as well as clothed. It is clear and does not draw attention to itself, though it positions my penis and testicles to be more prominent. I haven't worn it at a nude beach because there are none around. I consider my cock ring a good tool - combined with a lot of focused exercise - for improving my anterior pelvic tilt. This is a condition where my genitals are positioned under my stomach and my butt sticks out due to weak core muscles caused by too much sitting. Now my legs, stomach and chest are more aligned and as a result my penis is more proudly in front. I still have a long way to go (ncluding losing an inch of belly fat) and consider my cock ring positive reinforcement. Perhaps we should consider women's brassiers an elephant in the room because they call attention to their breasts and unnaturally defy gravity.
