Wisconsin authorities thought they could curb libidos at the stateÂ’s nude beach by closing it on weekdays, but citation data shows the move just shifted the hanky-panky to the weekends.
The Department of Natural Resources issued 13 citations at the beach between June and early October this year. All were for sex, and 11 were issued on weekends. Those numbers are down from 2012′s totals, but wardens said the problem is far more prevalent than the numbers suggest. All the citations were issued during just seven days of surveillance and some people seen having sex ran off before wardens could cite them.
“There’s no doubt there’s more stuff going on,” said Nathan Kroeplin, who supervises DNR law enforcement in Dane County. “There’s definitely frustration. (The weekday closures) didn’t really seem like it made that much of a dent.” I have nothing against people running around naked in each other's company, but I think copulation in public would be really bad manners. From what I know about naturism, it's considered so. (I don't indulge, myself. Me getting naked in front of other people would be really bad manners.)
Perhaps the solution would be to turn the place over to the local nudist club and let them administer it. I believe drug usage is also considered bad manners, though I don't know for sure. |
