Speedos at a nude beach

[Torchwatch]

In the 1980's there used to many families on British naturist beaches, as boys reached puberty they would begin to wear speedos or shorts on the beach not only out of embarrassment at being naked in front of their parents but also as other boys would notice their full body tans in the showers at school and start taunting them about visiting nude beaches.
When boys reached manhood they would begin to loose their inhibitions and again go naked especially with friends of their own age.
When the great paedo hunt of the 1990's began families began to disappear from British naturist beaches, mothers stayed with the children and the fathers moved to textile beaches with their families, all wearing increasingly long shorts. The naturist beaches were left to older childless couples and single men. Many of the single men were gay or became gay, sunning themselves discretely in dunes or among cliff alcoves. word spread that the former family naturist beaches were now gay attracted non naturist gay men some of whom wore speedos.

I am concerned about the story of the initiation ceremony at a health club above. It reminds me of the scene in Tom Brown's School Days where Tom Brown on his first day at school is forced to stand on a table and sing a song by the school bully Flashman. I have no problems with a health club having a naked swimming pool and sauna suite, either all the time or for special sessions, but blindfolds and being publicly stripped in front of a cheering crowd could be damaging to those men who were not willing or aware of what would happen.
