The sun has finally arrived!!!

Today it seems as though spring has finally sprung.....the sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was actully very warm, especially considering we're still in March.  We took the opportunity to make the most of the weather with a trip to our local naturist beach......St Osyth....okay it's not the best beach in the world but it's practically on our doorstep...lol.   The sun shone the whole time we were there, and the clouds didn't make an appearance at all, the only downside was the seabreeze which made it feel a little chilly at times and the usual naturist beach downsides, the meerkats and men sporting rather obvious signs of arousal.....but they kept away from us so all was good!!!!   I do wonder though, what some people go to naturist beaches for...not for the same reasons as most of us it seems!!

Tattoos and Piercings among naturists

Still a contentious issue among some naturists, especially those of a certain generation.  in some circles it's still seen as something to be frowned upon, especially the issue of piercings on the more intimate body parts.
It wasn't that long ago that you could have been drummed out of a naturist club for having a tattoo or a piercing, now it seems to be much more widely accepted. With almost every professional footballer, model or film star seeming to sport a tattoo, or multitude of tattoos, it is likely that tattooing among the public will be as common as it used to be among sailors in the past, and why not??
Tattoos, or piercings are purely a form of expressionism, the same as a 'textile'  choosing to wear a particular type of fashion.  People argue that if you're tattooed or pierced you're not truly naked...........My answer to this is 'Poppycock'.   Does that mean that someone with a birthmark (of which I have a large one), a form of skin pigmentation, which is all a tattoo is, isn't naked either....or someone wearing glasses or a wristwatch isn't truely a naturist because they have a foreign object adorning their body.  It's about time all clubs abandoned this stupid ruling that piercings below the neck or excessive tattoos mean you can't belong.  Times change, attitudes change and surely naturism is about accepting everyone, no matter what their age, colour, body size or indeed body adornments are.

On a personal level I have two tattoos, and would love to have more, and in my experience as a naturist so far I have received no negative comments at any club, event or campsite I've visited.  Indeed in some clubs/campsites we have seen people sporting not only a variety of tattoos but also piercings of in areas other than the ears or nose and no one seems to bat an eyelid.  Just a shame not all clubs have the same attitude.
