I adored your story, and sex on a beach must be tried by everybody, preferably in the mist with roaring white waves

"A concentration camp is a world in which people are crammed together, night and day. Brutality and violence are merely secondary characteristics. A concentration camp is the complete obliteration of privacy." Milan Kundera, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"

Perhaps the desire to give up one's own privacy is looked on as a thrill in a privileged, democratic society.

Nothing so adventurous as the beach but a friend and I were on a swing though the north country and she said she’d never done it in a car. Luckily I spied a over grown lane into a corn field and we solved that dilemma. No camera then to worry about. Now that I mention it she had an English background and had a rather reserve manner.

Interesting.

I know of someone who was caught in the act of "shagging" in public here in the US. Charged with a public sex crime...guess what?...they are now (both of them) on the Sex Offender list. This was a consensual act between adults by the way. I must mention that it was on a playground at a elementary school...but at 2am in the morning (so much for "swinging" eh?).

Of course it's safe on our property..but we avoid for above reason any frisky behavior in public save those between our property lines, including nude in the public photos (just cant risk it here...yep..no balls and way too much to loose).

Off to Mexico to a 5 star nude resort in Dec...we may break our rule a few times...;-).

unless someone else complains there is no crime.

Yes, that's right. I forsee a lot of complaints though. That sort of thing is unacceptable nowadays.
As for the bleakness of those photos, they're British north-east coast beaches. You'd have to be nuts to have sex on those. You'd freeze to death and get stones up you...er...um...yes, well I'm sure you can use your imagination :-)

Nice post Lin, amusing yet with more than a hint of truth. The photos more suggest 1948 than 1984 although the bleakness evident especially in the second photo could also be evocative of "1984". Glad they are going to ignore "crimes" which pretty much require observation to be a crime at all.

There was a similar issue with swing clubs in the county south of us several years ago. The sheriff sent in undercover "couples" to observe the "activities", they went in, uncovered, and "observed". Their friends then raided the place and arrested based on the officers observations alone. The ones that fought (including a police dispatcher) in court, instead of pleading, won. Of course most had their careers and a bunch of personal relationships ruined but the courts said that, since the club was operating within it's licensing provisions, it required a complainant citizen, not a government official on duty, to initiate an enforcement action. Looks like somewhat the same principle here, unless someone else complains there is no crime.
