To think its totally fine to do this in your own garden?

[InTheLightOfTheMoon]

Would you have a problem with a neighbour sunbathing topless or in a thong bikini in their garden?

No its not me. After 4 kids and 2 csections I wouldnt be brave enough. Just asking for a friend as she wants to but isnt sure its acceptable. I think its fine and that you shouldnt be staring into other peoples gardens, I didnt think about the picture thing though so will mention it to her.

Deliberately looking out of windows . That's what windows are for? Looking out of?
Nobody looks out deliberately hoping to see next door with their tits out, unless next door has advertised the times viewing will be available.

If someone can see you in your front garden, your problem. If they can see you in your back garden, their problem.
It's summer, enjoy yourself

Inthelight it wouldn’t have occurred to me if not for the creepy men on holiday threads and I think a woman whose back garden was overlooked by an office and she heard a window open followed by the snap of a camera phone when hanging out her washing in knickers and a vest. And yes, there was the odd (in all senses of the word!) poster who berated her for being in her garden in her pants .

Yeah she could be filmed. Some get off on that. Its the sort of thing id imagine a young confident woman might do to seduce her neigjbour. I cant imagine a mother doing this. I mean bikini is pretty revealing as is for the nosey neighbours in my area....

Also if shes asking probably best not.

I wouldn't do it but if neighbours do it, I don't mind, especially as it's their own garden and there is a fence! How would you even know, unless you go out on your way to check their garden

I wouldn't in a terrace. Would be afraid of someone taking a photo out of the second floor window and er... Keeping it for later.

It depends on the fence. I can't see in my neighbours garden without going upstairs and deliberately looking across from my bedroom.

MyNewAlias well yeah in the sense its an unwanted view forced on me while im opening or closing the curtains for example. I know they can do it but yeah I'd feel ugh and icky. Its attention seeking and i hate all the nudity everywhere. There is too much skin everywhere as is. I do not want to know how my neighbours areolas look.

That's for topless not a bikini. Bikini is fine.

No I would not be fine with it, and is it even allowed?! Showing your tits off in public! (And it is 'in public' if people can see you!)

It's got fuck-all to do with being stuffy (or a prude,) I don't wanna see some random woman's baps. It's incredibly weird to want to pose topless in your garden if you know others can see. Smacks of severe attention-seeking.

Obviously if no-one can see, then that's different.

Regarding the posters saying 'everyone should be allowed to do it - there's nothing wrong with it blah blah,' I am willing to bet there is no way THEY would do it, and they would be stunned if they saw anyone else doing it. It's all bravado for this forum.

Yabu to sunbathe, skin cancer is no joke. Couldn't care less about the boobs on display.

My neighbour does it in similar circumstances. I honestly don't give a shit. If I happen to notice I go oh the neighbour is sunbathing then I carry on with my day.

If the garden was private and nobody could see in then fine. If it has low fences or is overlooked from upstairs windows then I'd fully expect police to come round investigating a report of public indecency (and if my DC could see the nudity I'd be the one who filed the complaint).

I would be worried about someone filming it and uploading to YouTube or the like.

I dont think its legally public nudity in your back garden!

Cana would you call the police on someone topless or in a thong bikini on the beach though? I don’t feel horrified by seeing that and I don’t care about my kids seeing it so I can’t see a difference in someone’s garden. But I wouldn’t do it myself on the beach or in the garden. I don’t think it’s repulsive or offensive though.

if anyone can see easily, maybe not the thing to do. If someone has to go to a velux window and stand on a box like my NDN did years ago it's fine. Nosy pillock.

No bravado from me. I lie on a lounger without a top on, don't think anyone can see me. If they can, they are making a tremendous effort to do so because my garden is 90% private

I've never got the hang up about private nudity

It's not PRIVATE if people can see you @rousette

As long as they don't mind me looking. To be clear - I certainly wouldn't stare, but I'm not going to avoid looking their way if what I'm doing needs it!

Nope. No issue here either. When I lived in spain I had the chebs out pretty much daily. I had a big bush (fnar fnar) so it was reasonably private but could be seen from the flats next to the house. They’re breasts, we all have them just in different shapes and sizes. Mine are like spaniel’s lugs but still happy to get them out.

Knowing firsthand the pain of sunburnt nipples, I wouldn't do it.... but it wouldn't bother me if my neighbour was topless. Definitely none of my business and i'm sure she has nothing we've not all seen before.

I don't wanna see some random woman's baps
Genuinely interested to know - what is it about this that would bother you?

@kitty - mine are like spaniel's lugs
That made me laugh out loud and wake snoozing DH. Thank you!

It wouldn't bother me at all.
