Just after everyone's opinions. I'm on an all inclusive holiday . Nothing flash . European destination. Hot sunny . 3*. Would you feel offended if a female sunbathes topless at the pool? Just for context I have done , but put bikini top on to go in pool and her drinks . It's literally just going topless when laying on sunbed . More context age range is babies up to 70+ . Lots of different shapes and weights of people . Lots of bellies make and female and lots of big boobs on men. Like I say this is just for context . Just interested in people's opinions. I'm with my husband on holiday .

Would not be offended

ToBeOrNotToBee · 03/08/2023 16:05

Perfectly fine by me

Posted too soon, but I wouldn't object to other women doing it

EhrlicheFrau · 03/08/2023 16:08

It's up to you what you do with your body, as long as you are not breaking any local rules/customs. Are other females going topless around you too? In some ways I feel like it's more common to do this at an actual beach than by the pool, but I that might just be my imagination. I think the only downside is that some people idiots do use it as a chance to leer, sadly.

determinedtomakethiswork · 03/08/2023 16:08

What are the other women doing?

Dotjones · 03/08/2023 16:08

Yes it's perfectly acceptable. Countries like the UK and the US are the odd ones out in not allowing women to go topless. (Well in England you can go topless perfectly legally but hardly anyone does because they think they're not allowed to.)

JMSA · 03/08/2023 16:09

I wouldn't approve, but it's fine lying on your front!
Those who want to do it should go to a designated beach or hire your own villa.

Clarich007 · 03/08/2023 16:09

No definately not, I woukdn't think bad of anybody doing it 😻

Why do you think that? Should the men do the same then????

Chanhedforthis · 03/08/2023 16:10

I would if i had the figure for it!

DappledThings · 03/08/2023 16:10

I don't get why anyone wants to but I wouldn't judge you for it.

Or those who are offended by the human body could go to a designated beach or hire their own? 😬

FourTeaFallOut · 03/08/2023 16:11

Yeah, no problem. Although I'm not sure of the relevance of the star rating. Which way does that work...do you think it is more or less acceptable in a one star resort?

Minikievs · 03/08/2023 16:11

I used to go topless a lot and agree with a pp that it's more common at the beach than by the pool.
The only place I've had an issue is in Mexico where the American guests were HORRIFIED that the Europeans had their boobs out.
I don't do it as much any more as my teenage son would die of embarrassment.
Alone on holiday with my partner, at the beach, in a European destination, then I would

UncertainSmiler · 03/08/2023 16:11

FFS. It’s only a pair of tits.

UncertainSmiler · 03/08/2023 16:12

Quite fail 🙄

Cheesusisgrate · 03/08/2023 16:12
