As many of you already know, I grew up in a place where women being topless on a beach was no big deal. Almost everywhere I've been outside the US, it's that way too. Personally, except when I was in the US for school and such, I've never worn a top on any beach. Here on the isalnd where I live women walk up and down the beaches topless all the time. Nobody except maybe overly religious types seem to mind.
I could never understand why Americans seem to think boobs are such a bad thing when the rest of the world seems to be open to admiring them even in public. In the states, if a guy walks up to you on the beach and says "nice breasts" (even with a top on) most women will act genuinely pissed or embarrassed. Here, women just say thank you, take it as a compliment, and go on their way.
So, is being topless on public beaches a good thing? Bad thing? Or, what?And.why does American society seem to think it's so bad? Is it because when the English people(religious based puritans) who left England and settled in America brought all those old religious based principles with them? And to this day they've stuck? If so, it seems a shame that after two hundred years, American society hasn't been able to shed something like the sight of some bare breasts on a beach is a bad thing.

I don't know why people have to wear bottoms either. Quite frankly, if it's a hot day on the beach, what's the point of a swimsuit at all? :flashboobs:

:flashboobs:

America has a problem with nudity because this is the country all the prudes fled to when their countries of origin weren't uptight enough for them - never mind religious persecution. Examples were the Puritans (anyone remember the "Scarlet Letter"?) and Calvinists (an offshoot of whom now protests military funerals because America is too "gay friendly"). :puke:

:puke:

And remember the classic definition of a "Prude" - Someone who has trouble sleeping at night because he JUST KNOWS that someone somewhere at there is having fun. :bang:

This is an excellent topic, but I think you two have pretty much covered it. The only thing I would add is that tits are tits whether they're on the beach or in the office or where ever. Even though a woman laying out topless isn't thinking about sex or turning-on bystanders, if she's got a nice rack that's exactly what a guy is thinking about. A guy could be at a strip club, five or six topless girls on stage, and when the non-topless waitress bends over to serve your beer, we're gonna be checking out her cleavage. It's the main reason for this whole website. You won't see a site called RateMyElbow.

Oh, I'm quite sure that guys are thinking it when I'm on the beach (I notice through my sunglasses when they're staring at me. Why else would my nipples get hard in 90 degree weather?). It doesn't bother me at all. I figure if it weren't good to look at... I'd have to worry. If they stop staring I'll be concerned about mysekf or them. But, what's wrong with that. Is American society so anal that they're concerned with what a man might think? What's next? Thought police? Since when is a man's lustful thoughts something to be discouraged? If that were so, every guy in the country would be arrested. LOL!

Could you just stand there on the beach causally talking to some guy if he developed a big boner while you were there. Without it being a distraction? What if the guy wasn't attractive or completly not your type? As much as nude bodies aren't nessasarily always sexual, a hard-on is. So aren't stiff nipples. Not that I think there's anything wrong with it but I imagine most woman wouldn't stick around talking to some strange guy on a topless beach if he walked up with a boner and a smile.

Well, I'm guessing that you've never been on a topless beach from the sound of your comments. Oh, I'm sure guys look at me with a lustful little voice in their heads when I'm on the beach. But, I meet men on the beach all the time and I've never had that kind of a problem wwhile standing around carrying on a conversation with them. I've never seen a guy on the beach with a boner protruding in his shorts (at least not an obvious one).There's an etequette that both men and women tend to follow when on a topless beach. Women don't shake their tits in another woman's man's face, and men don't overtly oggle or make lewd comments. That's just the way it is. Most all women would automatically brand a guy with an obvious boner on the beach as a creep.
As for hard nipples... I don't consider them to be the same as a hard dick in public. We girls can always claim hard nips are the result of the cool, ocean breeze or something. Believe it or not, erect nipples aren't always the result of being sexually aroused.

That is a super hot pic. My god!!! If I was at the same beach you were at I would be one of the guys branded as a creep for sure!!

You're right, I have never been to a topless beach. I guess like most situations there's a right way and a wrong way to act. That being said, getting hard isn't much of a voluntary act, I can imagine a lot of guys end up embarassed.
The picture above is Exhibit A, seeing you spilling out of the top of your bikini is really hot and hard to look away from. You've really got the goods and know how to show them off.

I still have never heard an acceptable explaination for America's childish view of bare breasts on public beaches. I'm sorry, but it sure seems that American society is lightyears behind te rest of the civilized world when it comes to this subject. It's a shame too. Iheard from one guy that it would hurt th strip club industry. I don't think that's a rational reason. Do you???

Because everyone is about themselves in America. It's not, wow, that girl has a nice body and she's trying to avoid tan lines. Here people say, I don't believe she's just flaunting herself around.. I'm so offended. Poor me, poor me. We have a way of being ridiculously conservative. One has to bo so super aware and considerate of every single other person or you risk offending someone or some group and then you make headlines and then you're a public enemy. American society thrives in scandal, which is probably perpetuated by news media and our fascination with gossip. Behavior out of the norm = scandal for some people. for others it's not a big deal. But it's not a good story to talk about the people who are not complaining.

That's my take on it. This post is more like a run-on thought than anything coherent. I hope it makes some sense to you.

Somehow, I get the feeling that there's are super powerful, religious, conservative groups in the US that either have the ear of politicians, or actually have the ability to pull strings in the government in the name of "God". These groups have their own moral standards and actually believe they have the right (and moral obligation) to control and manipulate everyone into their way of thinking. The so-called separation between church and state in America has become a joke to the rest of the world. Like most religiously based organizations they feel they can do whatever they wish and justify it with the bible. They are the biggest hypocrites the world has ever produced. Right or wrong, anything can be justified by biblical interpretation. The truly sad thing is that they make life so miserable for the vast majority by supposing they know what's best for everyone, then putting plans into action to attempt to create a society that is more to "their" liking. Majority rule in the states is completely at risk now, and there dosn't seem to be anyone stepping up to combat this ultra-conservative movement. The fact that the American president is a self-proclaimed "born again" chritian sure doesn't help either. How in the world can anyone believe that this man is able to make important decisions without his ultra-religious convictions getting in the way? There IS something wrong here. These are the types of people who think that women who want to just sunbath topless are doing something wrong. You can't believe some of the things I've heard coming out of the mouths of typical republican women on this subject, "they don't have any respect for themselevs, they are all sluts and whores, they should be arrested, they ought to be tattooed to show everyone how immoral they are". Try bsome of those comments on for size, but cosider that most of them are coming from church ladies who are either old or just not very pleasent looking.
It's all just a shame.

Reading the first few lines of this post, Look at the election it aint hard to put two and two together.

Bush was told by many Christians he was the closest thing to God we could have as a leader.

As far as my thoughts I don't care either way,

BUt I dont think all beaches should be nude so that parents have a choice as to which one they want to take there kids to, we shouldnt have to be forced to take a pre teens to a nude beach. There should be a choice.

On another not as well I just thought about I surely dont think underage girls should be running around topless or naked either human curioisty especially when it is not the norm like here in the states people are gonna look, how many of us don't look ??

With that I think having nude beaches where teen and preteen girls are running around naked is setting up a breeding ground for pedophiles. No grow person regardless should be looking at underage children naked so I surely dont think that should be allowed.

Maybe all topless beaches should just be 18+ for age limits to give adults some freedom but protect kids?

I don't mind topless beaches at all, but like everyone else said- I wouldn't take my young kids to them. But I would definatley go myself.
