Nipple Piercings at Naturist Resorts - What is the trouble?
Nipple Piercings - http://x-nudism.com/community/nudism/family-nudists.php said about some controversy that happened at Rock Lodge this past summer which I believed was worth discussing. It all began several years ago when the adolescent daughter of a couple visited Rock Lodge, and to several members' dismay, she had nipple jewelry. Rock Lodge then determined to apply a rule to prohibit this. At the moment the rule states, as quoted in the web site:
At present, genital and nipple jewelry aren't permitted. Prior to arrival at Rock Lodge, please ensure that any genital jewelry is removed and that any nipple jewelry is either removed or covered.
They enable other jewelry as long as it is tasteful.
And this past summer, over 10 individuals with nipple jewelry visited Rock Lodge, bringing the rule to many members' attention. Many of them fought to have the rule changed, while others were entirely for keeping it. Those who supported the rule contended that nipple piercings do not fit in a family-oriented naturist club; that it brings attention to regions nudists are not trying to draw attention to, i.e. the breasts; that nipple piercings are sexual and associated with the swinger atmosphere (foolish).

On the other hand, proponents of change contended that naturism is about open approval of individuals as they are and enabling them to express themselves. As far as it attracting unwanted attention as well http://x-nudism.com/community/nudist/russian-family-nude.php , well,
Breasts are not sexual organs.
In the setting of Rock Lodge one is already NOT looking at another in a sexual way, consequently nipple piercings do not change anything. The issue lies with the ogler.

Tattoos (tattooed breasts are accepted) and also pasties used to cover them up also arguably draw attention, perhaps more focus, into a female's breasts. Anything can bring this attention, but this goes back to #2 of not looking at someone inappropriately to begin with.
Nipple Piercings
Personally I don't believe the rule makes any sense and should be changed. Because of this group we have started of Young Naturists & Nudists America, we welcome everyone regardless of race, color, sexual orientation, tattoos, piercings and so on. What's more, Rock Lodge has mainly an older crowd - maybe some conservative people that resent what the crazy rebellious youngsters are doing these days, with their body jewelry and loud wild parties.
Yet nipple piercings have become a lot more common nowadays among young folks, and I have a couple buddies who've them who might say, "Rock Lodge is fine, BUT what's with this stupid rule?" I think the club would do better to cut out a rule that would exclude or discourage younger people from joining, those who had keep the place alive. What does one think, readers? Would such piercings bother you as a naturist? Or would you be turned off by a club that forbid them?
P.S. Susan Weaver, the president of AANR, has her nipples pierced. If she seen Rock Lodge would they dare ask her to take them out/cover them?

UPDATE: After some discourse, Rock Lodge shifted their policy (in 2011 or 2012) and nipple piercings are now permitted only at that club. (Genital piercings, nonetheless, are still prohibited. That is a common policy among nudist clubs and also should be changed!)
(*BUT- in spite of my semi-severe view on this problem here, Rock Lodge is however a very lovely spot in the northern woods of NJ, and if you have never been you should go! The individuals are also rather pleasant and friendly- what you'd expect in a relaxing, family-oriented area. www.rocklodge.com)
