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?

you have an issue with Brits doing as the locals do when on holiday? You not heard of “when in Rome?”

Some posters on this thread are absolutely crackers. Judgmental, prude, xenophobic nonsense. 100 years ago they’d have been writing snidely AIBU letters because they saw Agnes’ ankles poking out from beneath her underskirts at church and good heavens, what if the young vicar had seen!

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

Go to Skegness or better still Clacton with your xenophobic views, OP. it will be much more to your taste.

There’s no need though it tacky as anything.

Litter lout! I think they look much better when attached to a body

It's called freedom of choice.
Are you bringing your son's up not to objectify them?

I'm not being sarcastic at all. The thread is full of batshittery, from people claiming topless sunbathing on a European beach is equivalent to men shaking erect penises at people, wanking on the bus or sending nudes to married men. You getting into a lather because you're annoyed that you forgot about sunscreen, and subsequently trying to imply that your nipples are the only part of you that could burn, honestly barely registers against all that.

By this point, I'm just here for the saggy boob jokes.

Massive difference between page 3 and topless sunbathing. Page 3 was a posed model often in sexy lingerie and only served the guys as something to giggle over in the staff canteen.

A pair of tits on a beach among a veritable sea of tits is only sexual if somebody makes it that way in their own mind.

I remember a holiday in Ibiza as a child (late 80s or early 90s) and a very attractive lady from the entertainment team led the water polo wearing only bikini bottoms. You have never seen a water polo game so popular with the dads!

Women have the right to normalise breasts as another body part - so what if it’s on show?

However, men have other thoughts/ideas about breasts.

If you think it’s another body part, push up bras, tops with cleavage, corset tops etc boob enhancing items would seize to exist. We all know boobs attract the opposite sex. Denying that is denying that instinct exists..

Funnily enough they teach children to keep themselves private and boys go in a separate changing room to the girls. This is another reason why it’s problematic- on the one hand they’re being told our bodies are our own and we keep things private (to keep them protected) and I don’t walk about topless so it’s a contradiction to kids when they see women with their boobs out for vanity reasons.

I breastfed both my kids too and done it here there and everywhere as my baby wanted feeding….

it’s a contradiction to kids when they see women with their boobs out for vanity reasons.

Women aren't sunbathing topless for vanity reasons...that's just your fiction to justify your offence. And even if they were, so what? Kids have to learn that people sometimes do things for vanity and we still don't respond inappropriately.

Well if tits are seen and on show…. Tits are seen and on show…. Makes no odds in what situation, so you can’t say it’s not the same.

Public announcement. I am in my 40s, ‘day off tomorrow and going to the beach in the UK with friends. I will be topless. Should it cause damage to anyone’s eyes, l apologise. 😀.

For the record l was born naked. Many people have seen my breasts on a warm summer’s day and no ambulances were required.

Helpful tip: The sunblock sticks sold for lips are also good for nipples.

Because my nipples are on 2 mounds, why does that make them so difference to a topless man? Surely the OP should be more concerned about some male beer bellies. Now that is a heath issue!

Might want to rewrite that into something resembling a coherent sentence.

Never go to France's Aquitaine beaches, OP, they're not always designated nudist but are so vast that folk just strip off anyway

I went there with a young friend and her family, and while unpacking my bag looked up to see her dad about 2ft away sporting the last turkey in the shop

FWIW I've no objection to nudity and appreciate the French view it rather differently, but I freely admit that was a bit of a surprise

It’s freedom of choice but it’s infringement of others choice to do it in a family friendly beach. If someone is desperate to get them out then fine, but again, there is a time and a place.

Of course you can, but if you don't understand context, and why glamour modelling in a men's publication with "News in Briefs" next to it isn't the same as a woman enjoying some sun on a beach...what's the point of trying to explain?

Yah I’m sure they’re not doing it to get them tanned….

What is it about British tits that is particularly offensive? And how are you able to identify said tits as British anyway?

I think it is very tacky to go abroad and assume your prude minority beliefs are morally superior and expect everyone around you to change their behaviour for your delicate sensibilities.

It isn’t a contradiction to kids, European kids can manage to be around breasts without getting confused.

page 3 (existing for men’s gratification) is very different from a woman choosing to sunbathe topless. Have you been to the continent? The majority of topless sunbathers on Med beaches are over 50. Teenagers are much more into the string bikini bottoms trend. I don’t think 87 year old MariCarmen is trying to corrupt your teen sons…

@ClickClack300 so what's the difference between you getting your tits out in public to feed your babies and a woman getting her tits out on a beach?
They're both on public display, regardless of the reason.

So what if they are?

Seriously...so what? What difference does that make?

nipples are in the shape of the union jack i believe.

Yes I would be ok with that actually. And yes I have parented two teenage girls.
So ‘ absolute bullocks’ (sic) to you as well. 😀

Just because you don’t agree with it
