To not want to see t*ts on the beach??!

[TittiesOutPutThemBack]

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?

@TittiesOutPutThemBack they aren't on a nudist beach because they aren't nude. Maybe if you could avert your eyes off their boobs for 5 seconds you would see they are wearing bottoms covering their genitals, the same as the vast majority of men on the beach, therefore they are not nude! Maybe you should try a winter holiday next year, everyone will be nicely covered up!

lol I can just see the OP walking up and down the beach in a floaty dress ( arms covered and ankles/ feet because we know some people are turned on by legs, bums, backs etc) with a clipboard ‘ excuse me I see your titties are out - are you local? Can’t I have your address to confirm’?!

Thank you for giving me a good laugh. I love your post. So many Nordic tits around!

@ElleintheWoods

Single sex schools aren't by any means mainstream in the UK. Only 12% of government funded schools are single sex.

Yes, girls and boys have a tendency to play separately but not always. And it's certainly common for women to have female friends but many women also have male friends.

MN isn't indicative of all British people and plenty of married women have male friends and vice versa. You also have to remember that women may have male colleagues as well that they'll socialise with.

Definitely re the date attitude unless you're already friends. It's very unusual to invite a strange man to your house to do DIY and I can imagine he thought it was a ruse

You can't compare the UK to the US we have a very different culture. If you read the thread you'll see that the absolute majority think the OP is nuts. Although I'd say we're more upright about nudity than Scandinavia.

Sensible

Set out a load of stuff marking out boundaries around your chosen area on the beach. Put up large placards saying "TIT FREE ZONE, DO NOT ENTER!"

Tell me you're a frumpy prude, without telling me.

HRTWT. We usually holiday in Spain and my children grew up seeing women of all ages and sizes without their tops on and I used to sunbathe topless once I realised how relaxing it was. I carried on until I was 70 (along with the Spanish grannies) but then I stopped....I stopped because I had breast cancer and after a mastectomy I no longer feel comfortable doing it. I was ok showing my breasts on the beach but don't want my scarred chest to be stared at, silly isn't it! ....one day, maybe....

That must be one seriously hardy woman!

Oh, interesting, was just trying to work out what shape mine are, just to make sure they're suitable for public viewing, 😂

Breasts are for feeding babies
Penises are not

HTH

YABU

Wtf, breasts are literally part of the female sexual anatomy.
You may argue they're fine to be seen, but cants deny that they're also sexual.
Geez, 'teach teenage boys they're not for sexual ...'
Are you okay?
It's like saying teach someone food is not for eating.
Uhmm it is

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, @ClickClack300 - but you are not entitled to go to a beach where toplessness is a normal part of the culture and then complain about seeing breasts.

You cannot go to somewhere that has a different culture to yours and expect them to adopt your cultural preferences. Would you wear a burka on the beach in Blackpool to make a Syrian tourist who prefers the burka comfortable?

I go topless wherever I can, I always have and I'll continue to do so, even though I'm 60+ and my tits are fighting with my arse in the race to get to the south first.
Do you get offended over seeing mum's breastfeed their babies in public too?

If it was customary in that country I'd get used to it pretty quickly. It must be quite nice to get your boobs some sun, without judgement. Though I'd imagine you'd still get some people staring.
Men with paunches and ample breasts are constantly on show on the beach. A woman's breasts aren't worse to look at. If anything they're often a lot better.
In the UK it would be frowned upon. But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it.
I don't want to see arses in tiny thongs, or literal genitals obviously.

Criminy yes, I know exactly what you mean. Last summer we went to the Bordeaux region in France.

When we spent time on a beautiful Atlantic beach my husband had a Semillon.

But sex isn’t their primary function.

Ao first we need to teach men and boys that breasts are for feeding and when they are feeding they are not sexual objects. That it’s fine to feed in public and that it’s fine to feed children over the age of one and that this has zero relation to sex whatsoever.

Then we can teach them how to cope with breasts on a beach where being topless is okay and women are more than welcome to enjoy their own breasts in this manner.

Yes they are for sex too, but they have other functions.

This works fine in other countries. Yet it doesn’t here - so maybe we need to adjust our thinking as a nation so that we can function comfortably with a breast here and there.

Whyever would anyone not be ok with their 17 year old daughter being topless? I remember my daughter and I both being topless on holiday when she would have been 18. We went to many countries while she was growing up where probably the majority of women on the beach were topless - it's perfectly normal and acceptable In much of Europe. I don't understand why anyone would object but it only ever seems to be British women who get so uptight about something like this.

Jesus. Why? Its good for your children to see "normal" bodies

Tits are tits. Who cares? I mean, aside from you? Perhaps you're self-conscious or something, IDK but there is nothing wrong with tits on display in a non-sexually provocative way.

It’s just a body part. A 5 yrs old would know what a man’s body part is by that age surely even if they are not a boy.

Boobs are just a body part. If you are easily offended don’t go to the beach.

I’m offended by people with great bodies as I’m in my 50s and no longer have a great body. Should I complain too? 😂

😂

I would cover up appropriately in a county where modesty is considered the norm.

It’s the Brits that do it abroad I have more of an issue with as it’s not the cultural norm here.

@TittiesOutPutThemBack yes, my daughter's now in their thirties not only went topless on the beach in front of their dad when they were 17, but also breastfed their babies in his presence.
They're just tits.
