Thanks Anonjon for posting this.
Yes, everybody is aware of the National Trusts rules, they are displayed on the signs as you walk on to the beach. On Sunday we saw the security warden who was walking along in the dunes. She is a very pleasant, slightly stern lady in a high-vis vest and carries a radio. Everybody gives her a cheery hello.
When she spotted a guy playing with himself she warned him that his behaviour was inappropriate and threatened to report him if he did not desist.
The behaviour I describe in my site visits takes place exclusively in the dunes between consenting adults, away from the sight of the general public, both nudist and textile who use the main beach. People indulging in the sexual behaviour and those watching are very vigilant to ensure nothing is seen by anyone who would be corrupted or would cause trouble.
When families stray into the dunes all activity stops. I have witnessed people being called out for playing too near the front of the dunes or publicly displaying erections with the intent to shock.
Everybody knows the letter of the rules and while they are prepared to bend them they generally do not overstep the mark.
