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?

Clearly you're the slightly pervy one if you can't stop staring at other women's bodies!

Shock horror, kids might see a breast (that most likely fed them and kept them alive for several years)

You need a holiday / to have a drink / maybe get a hobby

I’d really be in my element eating cinnamon buns with my tits out. Especially on the beach.

My idea of heaven!!!

Topseyt123 · 30/07/2024 14:24

Toplessness on beaches is perfectly acceptable in many Mediterranean countries, including Cyprus. I'm sure your teenage sons will survive the shock of this! In fact, they are probably just as amused by your shock horror reaction anyway.

You're a prude. You've gone to another country and complained about being presented with part of its culture.

Or are you a bored teenage schoolboy on holiday just setting out to shit stir a bit?

I never said they are only for sex. I said, as you will sees above, that human males are attracted to signs of sexual maturity in females. Such as breasts.

If you are acknowledging that breasts are sexual signifiers and are for feeding then we are on the same page.

Human males are attracted to lots of things. Many are attracted to children, so that ruins your argument, however they are attracted to women, biologically, for reproductive purposes. Sex is for reproduction on a very basic level.

Yea we enjoy it, yea we now have ways of stopping pregnancy, but sex, puberty and everything else involved is for having babies, not to find each other sexy. You find someone sexy for reproductive purposes.

It’s the absolute basic of life.

Your argument is empty and weird.

Cuppateatea · 30/07/2024 14:24

Where can I get these cinnamon buns from that you’re all talking about? Any recommendations?
I thought the thread about OPs DH using the oven and heating up the house was a good one, but this?
Another level. My day has been made 😂

M340 · 30/07/2024 14:25

OP just admit you don't want your DH looking at another pair of tits making you jealous.

Your teenage sons are probably searching online tits and fannies.

Work on your self esteem.

BorisJohnsonsWigGlue · 30/07/2024 14:25

You're allowed to say TITS op.

Grow up!!

Verv · 30/07/2024 14:25

It’s a beach.
If you want to control how women appear in order to be considered ‘decent’ then you’re no better than those who insist on the burka, or a ban on breastfeeding in public, or any other method of controlling women’s bodies.

If you don’t want your children to be shocked and horrified, teach them that female bodies are normal and not solely there for male consumption/tittilation.

And control your husband if he’s gawping.

Why do you think humans have evolved to have breasts like that then?

Only humans and dolphins have sex for pleasure. Maybe every other species should just stop doing it at all.

Come on, move your body away from my sensitive eyes

Go to Saudi Arabia for holiday, plenty of Sun, sand and definitel no t*ts on show.

Zebedee999 · 30/07/2024 14:26

Plenty of men around here (sadly) showing their hairy chests and muscles off. Its ok for men but not women it seems.

I eat cinnamon buns with everything out when I go to the nudist swim session 😁

GoldenLegend · 30/07/2024 14:28

I'd really rather not see the words 'tits' or 'titties', but you can't have everything.

Breasts form during puberty, for the woman to have a baby. Hips widen, for the women to have a baby. It’s about prepping the body for reproduction, not so men fancy her! How ignorant can you be?!

Come on then, link your scientific paper that backs up what you’re saying. It’s common knowledge that body changes are for reproductive purposes, not so then men want to have sex with a woman.

Jesus Dear God!

Right, so what is it that stops (nearly all) men from being sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children?

Men have evolved to be attracted to the changes in female bodies that mean they mean women can reproduce and have children. They are attracted to this so that they have sex with women who can bear them children. There is no evolutionary gain in having sex with pre-pubescent children, in fact you may actually kill or internally damage the girl if you do. So that is why men are evolved to be attracted to sexually mature females of child bearing age.

Do you think its just a coincidence that men are attracted to sexually mature women, rather than little girls? What is it that you think makes males physically attracted to these sexually mature females then? If not the changes in their bodies that signify they are sexually mature and able to reproduce?

sprigatito · 30/07/2024 14:28

I don't think feminists are denying that men are attracted to female sexual characteristics. I think they are denying that this is a reason to curtail women's freedoms. If men can't be around women's bodies without losing control of their urges, that's men's problem to deal with, not women's, and the answer is for said men to fuck off out of it, not for women to cover themselves up.

TittiesOutPutThemBack · 30/07/2024 12:38

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?

I have lived and worked all over Europe.

It's perfectly normal.

Men and woman have breasts. They like to wear no top on the beach.

It's very rare a native would walk around town topless - male or female. That tends to be the Brits and a few others.

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 30/07/2024 14:08

And I’m attracted to males and the male upper body. Not all men (obviously) but definitely some of them… nice chest? A broad back? Yes, please!!

Should I therefore force men cover up with swim shirts? Or bikini tops? Or is it simply a fact of life that I acknowledge and move on from? Without imposing my sexuality on others?

It's not just about the attraction that goes on in one's head, but the next step. You could be attracted to a man, and even surreptitiously check him out, and no one would be the wiser. But would you also be okay with a man checking you out while sporting an obvious erection?

In fact, taking the 'it's only a body part' argument even further, why should anyone be bothered by the sight of a man wanking on public transport? It's only a body part and a natural bodily function.

Fact of the matter is as a society we find sexual activity to be private and personal. Not shameful, just private. Whether that's innate or due to millenia of religion is neither here nor there. Fact is that's how we are as a society.

mylittleitalianhome · 30/07/2024 14:30

Umm im guessing you never frequented a beach in the 80s/90s? You couldn’t move for boobs!

DurhamDurham · 30/07/2024 14:31

Breasts are private otherwise we d all take them out in the office too

Well that's rubbish argument, it's not acceptable for anyone to be topless in an office, male or female.

I honestly cannot understand why you seem to be so angry about it? What difference does it make to you and what are you so offended?

It's not something I could get worked up about. And if you're worried about your husband and son having a good look, well frankly they shouldn't.

How can you tell someone's nationality from their tits??

On the part of the boob usually covertly hidden by a bikini or bra, there's a flag tattooed on.
Passport number is usually on the arse crack

Why don't you want your DH to look at them, are they nicer than yours? 🤣

I think she's concerned it might have got his blood up and he's going to ask to do 'it' this evening and with the lights on. I mean really, they've already done it once this year, the man's obsessed!!

I’m going to say what I’ve said ten times and ignore the fact that you have now changed your argument to fit in with it - your argument is that breasts have evolved because men find that sexy - no. Breasts look like they do for babies. Men have evolved to find that sexy. Breasts aren’t made for men, men are made for breasts. You’re now agreeing with this despite the fact that wasn’t your original argument.

A lot of men are attracted to those bodies and have been throughout history.

Our breasts haven’t developed in the way they have to be sexy. Our hips don’t widen to be sexy.

They change like that to prepare the body for a baby.

Men are typically attracted to those body types BECAUSE they are women coming into puberty and getting ready for a baby. Therefore, they’re more attractive because they can now carry your child.

So just a recap - men are attracted to bodies that have changed to be ready for a baby, biology decides this for them. Those bodies have changed to be ready for a baby and then men go ‘Ooh, she’s ready for a baby, I could mate with her!’ The body doesn’t go, well men like big hips and fleshy boobs so let’s get some of them. You have it warped in your head.

This really is entry level stuff, school biology.

Now, if you want to provide a scientific paper that says human breasts and hips are for men to find sexy and not for reproductive purposes which men find sexy because reproduction is attractive, please feel free. If not, take your incorrect ideas and go and do some reach - because you’re wrong. Bodies change for reproduction. Men are attracted to reproductive ready bodies, not the other way around 🙄

Yes love those comments! And I bet you’d all be ok with your 17yo taking boobs out in front of family or friends in a holiday

if you say yes then absolute bullocks! I don’t believe any of you who parent teenage girls !

I lived abroad. I had mine out as a teenager.

Then I had them out again in my 20's as I BF ds.

That's because they are a food sauce - not private parts to be sexualised.

You are the nuts one!

Starlight1979 · 30/07/2024 14:33

Thanks to the PP who said they couldn't stop singing "I wanna see tits on the beach" to the sound of "I wanna have sex on the beach".

Now I can't get it out of my head either 😂
