Culmination of discussion but a lot of this is subjective, if you agree or disagree or want to add more, please comment below.

Do I Have To Go Nude?

Short of it, no... but "Textiles" are increasingly unwelcomed since last year's invasion. There are many facets to this answer but one of the most compelling is: There are hundreds of beaches throughout Oregon and SW Washington that require clothes, why go to one of the two clothing optional beaches if you're just going to wear clothes? Another sound argument is the simple fact that you wearing clothes makes those who are not feel uncomfortable. With that, is it worth you going to a nude beach, to wear clothes and make others feel uncomfortable? Do you really want to be that person who does this?

"But my partner is going to go nude but I'm not, will I still get dirty looks?"

I don't believe so. I think a lot of people here understand that and are actually happy that you are supporting them.

"I'm a woman, is topless enough".

General consensus (here, CB, and other discussions online) is that this is fine.

"Can I, a man, just wear a thong?"

We all get the allure of going to a nude beach, we all understand the nervousness of taking off our clothes for the first time in public, however, there are simply too many "textiles" right now for people to go and just watch. Either take the plunge or wait until next year, maybe. Or find some nudists to go with and help you feel more comfortable.

How Not To Be A Creep and "Can I pick up women here?"

• First, let's call this guy, "Jim". Jim walks between us and the river: no biggie, 0 of 5 in the creep factor.

• "Jim" then proceeds to pace and stare at us for the next 10-15 mins until we turn towards each other and my wife covers up a bit: 3 out of 5 in the creep dept.

• First smile at us by "Jim" is okay, subsequent others every 20-30 seconds, while pacing and staring earns a solid, 4 out of 5 in the creep dept.

  ---

• Next, we have "Rian". "Rian" goes out of his way to walk by us and then stare as he passes. Hard to blame him but since his boundaries are clearly in question: 2 out of 5 creepy.

• Rian on his next pass goes out of his way to walk up to us and start talking. Usually depends but averages 2 out of 5. Admittedly, this is deeply subjective but rarely does our body posture, location, or anything about us in these particular scenarios say, please approach us. Rian is just being no boundaries creepy Rian. There is a difference here between just being friendly and approaching hoping to score better seats.

• Rian not leaving when we politely keep the conversation short or flat out tell him, "we're here just to enjoy the beach with each other" or even the rarely used, but used nonetheless, "time to go Rian": 4 out of 5 creepy

• Next up is Todd, I loathe Todd's. Todd, likes to go straight to 5 out of 5 creepy. First we have the 'wait in the bushes or nearby for male partner to leave woman alone'. Todd usually waits until I'm 20 yards away before beginning his almost sprint to my wife who is now all by herself. He then proceeds to "annoy the shit out of her"; 5 out of 5 creepy.

• Todd also likes to circle around us a few times, staring, grinning, and stroking and touching himself: 5 out of 5 creepy.

• Todd is also the same one that often times, after the aforementioned 'circle and jerk', go into the bushes and itch himself violently. 5 out of 5 creepy.

Then we have a bunch of others that are more general:

• Fauxtographer Carl: the closer he gets and more obvious it is that he's taking pictures of others without permission and he goes from 3-5 out of 5 on the creeper scale.

• The duo of Flirty Stacy and Filthy Frank who like to work as a team. Stacy is led off to approach us, get to know us, and gets comfy under the guise of avoiding creeps and is looking for safety of couple. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, "OH, Hey! It's my husband/boyfriend/partner Frank!"... And suddenly the friendly chat is now them turning the conversation over to couple swap. 4 out of 5 creep. Note: it's not the swinger angle or any of that, it's the approach of putting the woman forward then sending in the tank all while lying about it all.

• In-Your-Bubble Barney Rubble: Barney sees a wide open beach with few people around and decides to set up 15 feet from you.... Doesn't stare, smiles occasionally, but makes you think why the 100 yards to the east and west that are open weren't good enough for him: 2 out of 5 creepy. 3 out of 5** annoying/weird.

• Pistol Petey: You know him, the "Salesman" with the towel over at Collins but apparently RR has one now... Harmless but what the fuck is up with them? 3 out of 5 creepy.

• Honorable mention: Cock Ring dude... Wearing Cock Rings near families, maybe I'm wrong here but that is definitely a 5 out of 5 creepy for at least a few of us here - not to mention illegal.

• The-one-that-some-say-is-creepy-but-I-disagree, known as "The Greeter". There are a few guys at that hang out on the main trail as you walk to the beach that set up facing everyone who enters, they just lays there wearing a smile and are usually the first bit of nudity you run across as you walk down. Harmless: 0 out of 5 creepy.

• "The bros" These are the frat boys wearing board shorts that "accidentally" toss their footballs and frizbees into my area then try to play cool and chat it up when they come to get it. I'd give them a low creepy rating, maybe a one or two, but an annoying rating of five out of five. 5 out of 5 creepy. (from u/3IDontKnow)

Is It Okay To Have Sex at Rooster Rock State Park?

Copy/Paste from u/3IDontKnow's post here

• If we want Rooster Rock to remain a nudist area, we must all adhere to the rules. If we want them changed, let's change them. But for now, it's illegal.

• It's distasteful. There are families here. Watching the three people having sex next to the trail as families walked by was beyond trashy.

• If you don't want to be on a sex offended list, it's strongly advised that you refrain from putting on a show.

• Join a swingers group, sex club, or get some friends if you really want to put on a show for others. Rooster Rock is NOT the place for this.

That said, the gay area hasn't been known to shut this down. There are secluded spots you could escape to. I think for most, it goes without saying that there are place you can get away with it and there are areas that are more/less appropriate. Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk of getting caught and having to register as a sex offender (especially if you do this in areas that could be seen by families), but that's on you. Though, why not head to Privata, The Velvet Rope, Hawks, or Sanctuary to get your public displays on?

Cockrings, Buttplugs, and more!

Discussion here

Short of it, Oregon law deems these illegal to show in public places. However, what goes on in the gay area and away from the family areas, you'll probably would be fine. Like most things, it's all about getting caught. That said, if you are wearing a cock ring or butt plug that is visible to families, you're a creep and will likely been seen by everyone around as a pedo.

Piercings? Who cares.

How Not To Be An Asshole (dogs, Radios, etc)

1) Dogs: Keep them away from others. How? Following the leash laws would be a great start. No one likes your wet dog running up on them and shaking onto them. No one likes your dog running across their towels. No one likes dogs running up on them, slobbering over their food. (from u/warr-en-peace)

2) Radios: Imagine the most obnoxious, shittiest music you can think of. Now imagine you're stuck in a broken elevator for an hour or two with someone blasting this Hell-on-earth, stab-my-eardrums-now music the entire time. This is what you and your Bluetooth radio are to everyone around you. Don't be this douche, 'bruh'.

3) Binoculars: Don't bring them. No one is going to believe that you're bird watching. (from u/warr-en-peace)

4) Cameras: Keep them pointed away from others. Also, wannabe influencers are just as hated here as anywhere else, and likely more so considering where you're at.
