Naked in public

12/8/2013

12 Comments

 
There’s never a dull, or even modest, moment in the easternmost part of the nation. Take last week, when nude beach-goers were under Council’s watchful eye in the ordinary meeting. 

Despite a staff recommendation to revoke the clothing-optional status of Tyagarah Nature Reserve, councillors deferred it to a stakeholder consultation.

While bathing nude is generally not a threat to the public, there is no doubt that Tyagarah’s Grays Lane, specifically the tea-tree lakes and Tyagarah beach’s sand dunes, is a place where public sex acts are, well umm, performed. And that has unsurprisingly shocked and offended those who were not aware of the activities that exist there. 

Nothing like walking little Timmy past a grunting, hairy, fat, masturbating old weirdo to get some beach time.

If a film crew visited daily to collect footage, would the incidents decrease? Maybe the typical pervert would instead revel in a new found celebrity status and become even more of an exhibitionist. Is that even possible? One imagines you’ve reached a plateau of no return with that behaviour.   

Interestingly, the same issue was tackled at the Boatharbour Nature Reserve near Lismore years ago, where National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) locked the gate to what had become a seedy pick-up joint. The problem with the tea-tree lakes and beach is that locking up such a large area would be well, impossible, and unfortunately signs alerting the public are regularly stolen or taken down.

Hopefully a solution can be brokered where baring your bum on the Tyagarah beach is allowed and the creeps that frequent a traditional Aboriginal birthing ground are expelled.

You may not have noticed but I have, the creeps are migrating down the beach from Tyagarah to Sunrise & Belongil estuary. As has already occurred at Kings Beach & Tyagarah, it is a great shame that a small minority has already ruined it for the majority. It is not acceptable that unhindered lewd behaviour is escalating at Sunrise & Belongil estuary, they are becoming no-go zones for women on their own, and not a place to take your children to play and explore on the beach. Is it not my right to walk the beaches of the region alone, without encountering or being approached by men with sleazy sexual agendas? I am so over it, I want them to go away!

The women need to just stop having sex with their hubby's there. I'm sick and tired of these stupid women getting off surrounded by 10 hungry sad aick heterosexual perverts

I don't hang around the lake because I'm afraid the tyaharah gun slingers will mistake me for a heterosexual.

Being gay I have no need to flash myself like the heterosexuals do.

I'm actually far away from you all because I have to protect myself and I've got some respect for others.

Those heterosexuals will always take their kids to places just to have a winge

Is the Tyagarah beach a safe place for my wife and I to go naked sun baking and swimming, I am getting a little concerned of the remarks that have been made by others from the area, my wife and I enjoy getting our clothese off without having sex or doing weird things in front of others, however, we are not concerned with getting our clothes off in front of others either

Yes, very safe. My wife and I go there ofter. Never any problem.. We have seen couples having sex but it has not bothered us. Just don't look. Have a good day. It really is not an issue. Ii is also safe for a woman to go alone. Of course, if on the off chance you fell vulnerable move to where couples may be.

I have been a regular at both the beach and the lake at Tyagarah for well over twenty years. The problems that are being mentioned here are driven by two sources. Firstly it is the heterosexual couple who use both place to have sex in public for a cheap thrill and secondly these places have been advertised online and in adult publications as places to go to have and watch outdoor public sex. Of course as not everyone is there for sexual reasons situations can be misread and so people feel offended. You see women or couples nude and then guys appear to watch them. The guys having heard that the women and couples who go to these places are there to be watched. What it seems to me is that everyone is a victim to some extent. Let's face it folks people like to have sex outdoors and on the fringes of any populated area people there is always a place where they will go whether it be a beach or a forest or a mountain or park.
Maybe it's time for society to accept this fact and start creating adult areas for those who want to be a little freer. Even dogs get beaches allocated to the so how about adult only areas?
Me, I'm not offended by any of it as I've seen so many couples and singles doing their thing over the years while I read my book under my sun shade. Everyone needs to stop placing their moral and ethical standards and judgement on others.

I have seen so many people stop at the lake, however, I have never been there myself, is it easy to find, do you just follow the tracks in opposite the fence and how far in do you have to go to get to the lake

I regularly meet guys for casual sex at Tyagarah. So far I've had no kibitzers waving morality banners at me. If we offend anyone, why not just avert your gaze instead of demonstrating how virtuous and moral you are?

I have read a bit about this beach and if people don't like it don't visit.
My question is can we masturbate on the beach and/or fondle other consenting adults?

I have been going to the nude beach on and off for 20 years and always enjoy watching people have sex while I masturbate ..Sometimes I have been invited to join them which is very nice.

Masturbation,cock sucking and sex is not frowned upon at Kings beach..The majority of people go there because they enjoy nudity and enjoy looking out or joining in on sexual activities

Which side of tyagrah is more suited to couples or straight guys who just enjoy to get nude and have a dip and sunbathe? I have been to Tyaharah in the morning on the weekend around 10am , not many there just a few old men who looked a bit pervy. Does it get busier as the day goes on?
