There is an problem in the naturist world that has long been worrying us as an organization that bases our values on recognition. It's the dilemma of nudist clubs and naturist resorts that bar entry to people with body and genital jewelry.
FKK Addresses Body Jewelry & Piercings at Naturist Clubs
A few years ago, we discussed the problem of nipple piercings. My home club, Rock Lodge, had a rule against them, but they changed this policy not too long after we printed this article. Now nipple piercings are enabled.
As we pointed out in discussing nipple piercings, even Susan Weaver, who was then president of AANR, had her nipples pierced. Regardless of this, AANR has not taken a position against clubs that would bar entry based on nipple or body jewelry.
I'ven't come across any club or resort that still has a policy prohibiting nipple jewelry. ( in case you know of one please share in the comments.) But the issue of body jewelry policies does not quit at nipples. Rock Lodge, along with numerous other nudist clubs, still has a rule against genital jewelry. This troubles us, for the exact same reasons as the nipple piercings.
Those who are against genital ornamentation claim that individuals are making nudism sexual by having their genitalia pierced, and that they are doing something wrong by attracting attention to that body part.
Let us explain why this makes no sense. The primary tenet of naturism is the body can be sexual or not, depending on the context. When people are nude jointly in a naturist setting, the genitals are no more sexual, "dirty" or shameful than the tummy or elbow.

Click to view Humans are sexual beings, not to mention, being naked does not prevent anyone from thinking sexual thoughts about others. As a result, it becomes fairly obvious that your biggest sex organ is really one which you can not see your BRAIN.
As it pertains to the body and sexuality, it is all about context. There is a time and place for everything.
So it'd go that genital jewelry can only be just as innocent as pierced ears or a pierced belly button. Or on the flip side, earrings are just as sexual as genital jewelry. Unless one is treating their jewelry like a sex toy in public, there's really no reason why they should not be allowed to join a naturist setting.
As for how it draws focus to the incorrect place, nicely 1. By saying that, aren't we treating the genitals like some taboo body part in the same way that society at large does? 2. You look or you peek at it, just like you'd at a necklace, then you go back to looking at the person's face.
The primary function of female breasts / nipples will be to feed babies. Some people, of all sexes, do get sexual pleasure from their nipples in a sexual context. Identical to some folks get sexual pleasure from their ears, but we don't prohibit piercings on them.
The other argument against piercings has to do with the notion that they're inappropriate in family settings where children can be found. But the issue here consistently falls on the shoulders of those parents who are often fearful to deal with their kids' innocent questions. (As a side rant to parents, please don't lie to your kids or refuse them advice about their bodies. There's such a thing as age-appropriate responses. We now have the Internet now. If you are not sure the way to answer a question, Google it or e-mail someone who might have the info you seek.)
If a kid points at a penis ring and says, What's that? The reply is straightforward: It's a piercing." If the follow up question is, "Why does he have it?" then the response should be something like, "because he believes it's pretty.
The dilemma of genital jewelry also came up in the context of San Francisco's nudity ban. Some of the male naturists were wearing cock rings in public. As we noted in this post, a cock ring is generally worn on the base of the penis and can be used for maintaining erections, but can also just be worn for decoration.
Some 300 people took the poll, and these were the results under. Almost 70% said cock rings should be satisfactory in public if they're just worn as a piece of ornamental jewelry. A small percent said they thought it should not be worn around kids.

In the naturist world, views on body jewelry have definitely shifted in recent years. Like it or not, increasingly more folks have nipple and / or genital jewelry, particularly young adults. Some clubs have shifted their policies from necessity, as more visitors or members have showed up with body jewelry. Others, however, are holding onto their policies that appear increasingly aged for 2015.
I wouldn't claim that a body piercing is critical to a man's identity or an aspect of themselves that they can't alter - like race or sexual orientation. Piercings are removable to some extent but they are a kind of self-expression. We see this problem as a dent in the naturist doctrine. At least as far as accepting an individual as they are, as well as understanding that nudity doesn't have to be sexual.
In the northeast, I Have located only 2* nudist clubs that still forbid genital jewelry: Berkshire Vista (MA) and Rock Lodge Club (NJ). (I've also found that many nudist clubs in the U.S. do not address piercings on their sites at all. I haven't inquired with every club, but the ones I did contact said they were permitted.)
For clubs that do allow jewelry, many establish that it must be distinct or inconspicuous. I believe this is acceptable. Nobody must walk around with big chains and bells on their genitalia.
Solair Nudist Resort in Connecticut is one co-operative club in the northeast that recently changed their rules to allow genital jewelry. We've been speaking to them about this policy for a few years, so that as a co op it took time to get enough votes to support it. It was altered this past June and we applaud Solair for becoming a more inclusive, accepting club!
On a recent trip to Solair, we met one member who said he thought it went against family values. Sadly he was not able to articulate how precisely.
In 2015, I think the naturist community is ready to be inclusive when it comes to body jewelry.
(*In fact there are 3 clubs that bar entry to individuals with genital jewelry if we count Cedar Waters Village in New Hampshire. Cedar Waters is a personal resort for heterosexual couples SIMPLY who don't need to hang out with gay people. They don't allow nipple or genital piercings or same-sex couples. You read that rightthey openly discriminate against gay people. In 2015.)
