I personally like piercings on some people.
Especially the belly button pins and rings and the nipple rings.
Of course clubs and resorts have and should have rules to keep order.If they don't allow piercings then you just have to take them out or stay home.

And yet, for years, the American Sunbathing Association (now AANR) and its public relations arm has been telling the general public that nudists believe the whole body is not shameful. In their words, "A penis or a breast is no different than an elbow". Apparently that is not true in reality at nudist clubs or within the movement itself.
I remember the shocked attitudes of nudists years ago who objected to other nudists who tattoed themselves, Then came the shock of those who shaved "down there" although apparently those who shave off their beards are perfectly acceptable. Now it's those who wear rings "down there" although those who wear rings in their earlobes are also apparently ok.
I guess we aren't the tolerant, open minded and free individuals we present to the general public after all. We are just as hung up and uptight as the rest of the world.

Well, Vealj, maybe not quite as hung up and uptight; just almost so. But it does appear to touch close to a nerve, does it not, when someone pushes the limits of the status quo?
A few decades ago, smoking was accepted almost everywhere and abortion was so taboo it could hardly be mentioned in public. Now, a cigarette is a sign of depravity and it is dangerous to suggest that abortions should be restricted.
In my grandmother's time public nudity was not at all acceptable in open society in this continent; in recent years that level of acceptance has grown greatly. Back then, only pirates and outlaws had tatoos; now my suburban wife wants one. Today, nipple rings and Prince Alberts are uncommon enough to cause a national outcry if one is seen in public; 20 years from now, who knows?
Things change. This too shall pass. Question everything.

Who knows? Next they'll start wanting purple and green hair and ... ooops that's already been done.
You're right, fads and fashions and culture come and go over hundreds of years. I don't think we've gained all that much in public acceptance of nudity, however.

Might it be suggested that a penis or a breast WOULD be no different than an elbow if people did not feel compelled to differentiate those body parts from their elbows by encircling them with flashing neon lights or penetrating same with spinning, reflective metallic items. (Emphasis mine.)
Vealj, you refer to the "general public", at the very least, as a group worthy of our respect. Given that, I believe Cheri adds "family-oriented and non-sexual" to the "tolerant, open-minded and free" adjectives you append to nudists in their presentation to that "general public".
Cheri's point is simple: When one attaches a shiny, flashing, attention-getting device to their genitalia (and she stated that breasts are not genitalia), they cannot claim to be non-sexual. i.e., Such folks have their own agenda to feed.
Enough said.

vealj, I think you said it best, thank you.
"A penis or a breast is no different than an elbow."
So what about piercing them? Does a piercing differ when it's on a penis or a breast than an ear or an eyebrow? It certainly doesn't! Sure, it may occasionally be a more functional piercing. However, it can also be just for decoration and personal aesthetic value -- just like the ears, nose, etc. It can also have a personal meaning or mark a time in one's life (i.e. my nipple piercings mark the moment I realized I was comfortable in my own skin).
Where can you draw the line between function and aesthetic? Perhaps in the context, perhaps in the physical state of the penis (erect vs. flaccid), perhaps in the demeanor of the person.
If a place has a dress code, I will respect it. I may not agree with it and may even attempt to communicate peacefully and respectfully with the person who implimented said code. However, I won't be so brazen as to violate that. I'm not a complete jerk.
I have no doubt that I could get along with mostly anyone on this forum. What's to say that having some steel in my bits should change that?

For me I sure don't like body piercing. Well ear rings are OK. I do like some tattoos if there are done right but just a few. But I do think it is up to each person what they want to wear. I don't have to wear it an I don't have to look at it.

Personnally I like certain piercings. I have had my nipples done for almost 10 years now. My daughters all have body piercings of some sort. Its just a way to decorate your body,no big deal.

Isn't it funny that at the bottom of the home page for this site, there is an ad for belly button rings.
I know I have responded somewhere else on this site about piercings, but I belive it is up to the individual.
Mrs. Cookie basically dared me to get my belly button pierced, and I did! Shortly thereafter she had hers pierced.
Then it was the nipples, and again I was the first one, and then she was able to get up the courage to have hers done.
Also, she has had her clitoris pierced - ouch!
Many of our friends male and female in our group have had piercings and they all love them.
I know Mrs. Cookie enjoys being able to purchase some nice 14 KT jewelry for her body!
We are not here for a long time, so let's have a good time.

I know I've said this before it's up to the individule. I don'[t have any and I most likely won't ever get one I may get a tattoo though more my style. I think everyone has a right to be different and that includes piercings.

Question bout piercing don't they hurt??? Well know they must hurt when get them. But when wearing them don't they get caught on things??? I had a ear ring when was young an had it pull out couple that sure didn't feel to good. I have seen few web site that sale body jewelry an piercing. Like I said I just don't care for the piercings but I do like some of the body jewlery. Don't know why maybe it my age.

I never had any problems with my piercings. And age is only in the mind I am 55. It all depends on how closed minded you are.

Please be mindful and considerate of others. They are not imposing their agenda upon you; so doesn't basic respect for your fellow man require that you not impose yours on them?
Just seems that at some point we might as well be wearing clothes instead of all the "stuff" we have on? Isn't the purpose of nudity to be natural?
