Outrage as naked bike ride is uploaded to porn site

[presta]

People out naked in public object to public seeing them naked?

No they object to being photographed and those photos being shared on porn sites

I find it strange that this 'newspaper' is so incensed and outraged about it being on a porn site

They should have put the article on page 3

What do you mean, you were checking out the bikes, of course. I surprised you noticed the lack of clothes.

I for one am not going near a bike without said body parts tucked nicely out of the way of a saddle. One miss, oof !

Quite ! Catching my dick in the chain doesn't bare thinking about

You were told not to use the mickle method naked !

Not something I would do myself but somewhere, deep down, all of us are naked: so I cannot get particularly worked up about it. As with Lady Godiva, most people are probably indifferent, ladies and gentlemen will avert their gaze; and the newspapers will find a way to make money out of Peeping Tom.

Peeping Tom phrase coming from the story of Lady Godiva

I was once on a london lead ride - out west we were cycling near the Thames when folk mentioned that we had just gone past a couple involved in some sort of naked sexual activity with photography. I later discovered that this was some sort of dogging spot, but this was broad daylight on a sunday afternoon. Have no idea if this was some sort of amateur DIY project or professional. I must have been pretty much the only person in the largish group who had seen nothing - must have been enjoying the general scenery and nature. We were a mixed group - everyone seemed to find it interesting/bit of a ride highlight.

No outrage at all.

It all happens in Lancashire you know!!!!

There's a lane over Belmont way that we ride on a regular basis. Off this lane is a track, with woods on either side and a small flooded quarry. This track is well known locally for unusual sexual practices.

There's a Strava segment that's called "the Dogging Run" or similar. I'll find it for you later.

I would say this falls into the same bracket as taking photos of woman breast feeding in public. This has just been made illegal. Just because private parts of a persons body are exposed in public, doesn’t mean you have a right to photograph or film them.

bit different I think.
anyone on the world naked bike ride is making a decision to publicly display their body.
Maybe to make a point.
one could say that many are "flaunting" their body.
Though there's definitely a fair old few I would rather weren't flaunted in front of me.
If I'm easy with them doing this/don't push for them to be prosecuted, I don't think participants can complain about folk taking pics.
Otherwise we are into the old look/don't look game. Which is a pretty transparent power-play.

edit - I see alex has made the same point.

thanks Paul - I can add it to my OSMand points of interest log.
I also remember one of the departed cchatters telling us on a long ago Friday Night Ride to the coast that we were - in the middle of nowhere - approaching a mega dogging spot. I have no idea how they knew.

Where did you say this was again?

Such thirst for knowledge is to be commended.

Barnes.

Just looked up google maps - the bit of the north bank riverside between Barnes and Chiswick Bridges.
Seems to be called Dan Mason drive.
have no idea who he is/was.

What is it people do not get here?

These people are not objecting to them being seen. They appear on YouTube for example. They are objecting to the footage being used on a pornography site without their consent.

There is a difference in the view of many between the two sites and the content thereon.

maybe at the risk of covering their nakedness somewhat as they ride down park lane/whitehall etc in front of anyone passing they could get some kind soul to write usage rights and limitations across their flesh.

Slightly off topic - but near where I grew up is a car park down a long track
just by the beach

I sometimes took my dog down there for a walk

I half noticed that there were often cars parked in the car park - but few people out walking dog etc

having moved well away I sometimes look at the local paper for that area and that car park has been mentioned a few time

$deity I can be naive at time

Always makes me laugh ... Fake sign promotes Cotswold viewpoint as 'dogging' area
