Sunbathing topless in your garden… would you?

Just wondering really?… Not in a pervy way!

We live in a detached bungalow, so although we have immediate neighbours, they don’t overlook us as the fence is too high. Unless one side stood on their top step and I was at the other end of the garden… Then they might see me! But I’m actually not bothered if they do. It’s my garden.

I do, we’re on the side of a hill with our only neighbour being underneath us so not overlooked in anyway.

Obviously only do it when the kids are out.

RafaistheKingofClay · 28/05/2023 21:26

Hell no. My neighbours have shared access to the pathway in the garden to get to theirs. I think it would be a bit of a surprise to both of us.

Did it today in my tiny garden. Neighbours could in theory see in if they looked right over the fence but they have never done that.

I love a danger sunbathe just for 15 mins 😁
Appreciate the warnings about skin cancer however.

Lying on my front with my bikini top off, yes.
But I wouldn't do it lying on my back just in case.

AlltheFs · 28/05/2023 21:47

Yes, I do all the time. At home, holiday. I’ve always been very comfortable with it though. Couldn’t care less who sees, they are just tits.

I wouldn't cause these days someone would film you & upload it to social media.

No what if the google maps plane is flying over your house, then your tits would be immortalised on satellite view 😳

🙈🤣

Oh my god! Never thought of this! I’m so naive when it comes to sm as I don’t really use it!

In theory I would. But in reality the purpose of doing so would be to get an even tan. By the time I flopped my boobs from side to side enough times to let the sun at all parts equally the summer would be over. Not worth it at my age.

It's drones that would bother me. I often see them flying about locally.

YoungWild · 28/05/2023 22:22

I always have and always will. My sister also does and we do whenever on holidays. My garden is very private and on a farm so not visible from the road.

willowstar · 28/05/2023 22:24

Yes absolutely. I go in the hot tub to get my vitamin d when I can and I am always naked. Not overlooked but once a delivery driver came round the back and had a conversation with me, which was a bit odd.

SwordToFlamethrower · 28/05/2023 22:45

I sunbathe naked in my garden

SheDragonheart · 28/05/2023 22:57

Drones, just no.

YoungWild · 28/05/2023 22:58

@willowstar there isn’t much better than the hot tub is there 🥰

ToeJammed · 29/05/2023 01:33

Like you op, I live in a detached bungalow with a very private sun trap garden. I often sunbathe topless.
I wouldn't care even if my neighbours could see me, they're just boobs.

I still cringe when I think of it! 😱🤣

coffeecupsandwaxmelts · 29/05/2023 10:13

No, our garden is way too overlooked.

Chellybelle · 29/05/2023 10:16

If I had full privacy, I might. But I don't and I don't fancy being done for indecent exposure to next door's kids and wouldn't be too impressed if my own kids saw naked or half naked people from their bedroom windows.

user1497207191 · 29/05/2023 10:18

No, I've never sunbathed topless anywhere, but if I did, I'd do it happily/freely in the garden. I see no difference than doing it by a pool or on a beach to in my garden, even if people can see from other properties - it's no different than people seeing on holiday! In actual fact, if anything, it's more appealing for me to do it in my own garden as I'd feel more "at home" and at ease with myself in my own surroundings. If I was to do it anywhere, it would be in my own back garden, I imagine it could be quite liberating. Even better if I had my own plot of land where I could live a naturist lifestyle without being in sight of anyone.

Littlethingsmeanalot · 29/05/2023 10:23

No, I be too worried a neighbour or delivery man wandered round.

I did have a naturist neighbour, everyone said he was, I never saw it, until one day I drove past and could see him strimming, of all things, in the buff 😂

TwigTheWonderKid · 29/05/2023 10:53

I'd sunbathe topless in my garden regardless of whether or not anyone could see. If I was not overlooked I'd probably consider naked sun bathing, if that was my thing. Is Brits are so repressed and we could really do with loosening up our attitudes a bit.

Hop27 · 29/05/2023 12:33

Yup, nothing better than a skinny dip in the pool in summer
