TittiesOutPutThemBack · 30/07/2024 12:34

Just that really!

on holiday at the mo and I cant even count the number of times I have seen topless women sunbathing at the beach… next to kids!…on non-nudist beach!

I really don’t want to see titties out in the middle of the day

on top of that I don’t fancy my teenage boys or even my DH having a look at them either

its obvious they’re coming from certain European countries ! Do they have no sense of what’s right or wrong ?

AIBU?

@erikbloodaxe

Actually there's lots of British beaches where clothing is optional, not uncommon to see topless sunbathing elsewhere too but our weather is simply not often conducive to such things, fleeces and thermal trousers are more climate appropriate Grin

I guess its a good education for young impressionable teens that bodies are not all the same and picture perfect like on social media. Theyre just boobs get over it 🙃

labamba007 · 30/07/2024 13:29

Breasts aren't genitals. There's nothing offensive about them. If you're sexualising breasts that's on you.

Wordsmithery · 30/07/2024 13:29

Loving this thread. The ridiculous post has inspired some very funny answers. Thank you OP.

"If you go to Denmark and complain about the naked people you will be laughed at or ignored."

Many years ago when I was working in the west of Denmark, a British holidaymaker actually did complain to the local Tourist Office about the topless women. (I think he was so focussed on them that he missed the naked Germans further down the beach playing volleyball).

Anyhoo - his complaint made the front page of the local paper, to much hilarity.

OP - whatever you do next .... stay ... away... from ... the ... sauna...!

They can take them out all they want

my Issue is where they are doing it
i am sure there are nudists areas where I am, there are definitely some more isolated areas

wtf does this happen in a very public and full of families area

they don’t need to do this to prove a point, and I don’t need to accept it. Breasts are private otherwise we d all take them out in the office too!

I don’t want to see someone else private bits !

Proving a point?!

Um I'm British and I sunbathe topless to get my tits brown. I'm not proving any point 😂

Also, you seem to think that sunbathing topless is only allowed on nudist beaches. You can sunbathe topless anywhere you want. Nudist beaches are for those wanting to sunbathe completely naked. And I would suggest giving them a wide berth if you're this offended by boobs.

I don’t think anyone should be going into a supermarket topless

It’s a health hazard. Imagine leaning into a freezer for more than a few seconds whilst you try to reach something at the back and finding your nipple skimming and then frozen to a carton of Ben and Jerry’s

We're in Spain, have to walk past the nudist beach to get to the family beach. Half mast todgers have led
To some interesting discussions with the kids...

Where is this beach? Asking for a friend 🤣

Come on, spill the beans, what country are you posting from?

RisingSunn · 30/07/2024 13:30

AllThePotatoesAreSinging · 30/07/2024 13:27

Why wouldn’t you be comfortable with them being topless in front of their male relatives? That probably says more about the men…

Edited

Because in my earlier post (to me) breast are a private area of a woman’s body.

So you think that’s fine for a teenage daughter to be having a conversation with her uncle for (for example) topless?

BigBoysDontCry · 30/07/2024 13:30

Well they might be on a family beach as, shock horror, they might be with their families?

If I've been on holiday in Mediterranean countries where it's common, i have also gone topless on occasion. I wouldn't do it in the office as it's not acceptable in the UK to do on a beach and I also don't wear a bikini to the office. I'm actually quite reserved so personally wouldn't stand up and walk about topless but I have every respect for those who can and do.

I have DSs (and an exH), they've never batted an eyelid. I'm not saying they might never have looked but they have managed not to stare/ask questions/be offended/objectify women.

I wouldn't go to a nudist beach as that's not my thing but if I did go, i certainly wouldn't complain that people were naked. Equally I wouldn't go to a country where it isn't accepted and go topless.

I get the different culture mentality but I dont have to accept it, for now they’re forcing their “culture” on me and other ethnicities that do not have to go through this

funny how I should accept this crap but they don’t realise there are diverse families around (from non European countries where this is pretty offensive) and there is absolute disrespect for any of this

as I said they can do whatever they want but in a separate area!

😂God forbid you go to another country and they "force" their "culture" on you.

FGS go to Benidorm next time...

They're not being disrespectful to you... get over yourself.

And why should they go to a "separate area" just to avoid offending some woman who has a stick up her back. You are so entitled.

I am British and I am not offended by Boobs in the slightest. Might be a teaching moment for your Son and DH too....

It's people like you that make me SO ashamed to be British when I am abroad!

How can I not look? They are not far from me!

there are not many t**s on the streets , why are they right there on the beach?

it’s not a nudist beach there are tens of families around how is that normal?

The reason that you can’t not look is the same reason that men look, tits
attract attention, it’s an involuntary reaction.
Ask any man. It’s beyond their control.

Yalta · 30/07/2024 13:31

I don’t see anything wrong. Used to go to Nice regularly and not having to wear a bikini top was so freeing

No, they are not forcing anything on you. You chose to go to a country where this is legal and acceptable. Perhaps, you should go to a separate area yourself.
If other ethnicities/cultures find things offensive it doesn't mean that we all should suddenly wear burkinis at the beach or cover our heads with hijab when popping to the shops in the UK, for instance.
I am still waiting to hear if your sons and husband are currently wearing t-shirts on the beach.

Mouldiwarp1 · 30/07/2024 13:31

I’m a bit bewildered by this and obviously very behind the times, having not been on a beach holiday in 20+ years. But in the 80s and 90s, I remember being embarrassed because I was the only one on the beach who WASN’T topless. I also went topless on the beach as a child …

The highlight of the OP though is how @TittiesOutPutThemBack says she doesn't want her DH and teenage boys looking at women's tits on the beach 😂

As if all of them aren't watching porn with far more explicit visuals than some naked breasts 😂

bonzaitree · 30/07/2024 13:32

They’re just tits OP. No biggie really.

😂 Nothing like going to a foreign country and demanding the locals (or anyone actually) adjust to accommodate your prudishness 😂😂

Just tell them to cover up. That should do it 😂

Maybe not Benidorm - unless this is the OP?
