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?

It's not something I would do as I'm quite conservative and body-shy personally, but I couldn't give a fuck what other people do.I'm there to enjoy a day at the beach,not police other women's outfits.

I live in a very hot country where this is quite common depending on the beach, my two sons do giggle a bit which I am trying to stamp out as I don't want to hurt or embarrass anyone having a nice relaxing day.

Wouldn't want to see a hairy ballsack though,so praps you could say that's double standards..

A hairy ball sack is genitals, breasts aren't

Oh interesting

so you’d like a 50yo male getting his bits out near a 5yo?
Would you be educating the toddler ?

If you think this is a comparison that can fairly or rationally be made then may i suggest you seek professional help swiftly.

Which country is this OP?

Free the nipple!

Not read all the comments but this is my favourite one so far...saw a quote a while back during COVID:

"Wear masks, not bras. Free the titty, protect the city!"

I stand by this!

Maybe best to stick to Great Yarmouth for your next holiday
OP.

I definitely saw women with their boobs out when I was there a few years ago.

Perhaps Antarctica? In winter?

TittiesOutPutThemBack · 30/07/2024 12:48

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 !

They're not doing it to prove a point. What point would that be?

If you don't like it, go home.

So you’d expect men to be walking around in a T-shirt or bikini top the whole time? Topless women aren’t showing any more than a man typically would.

I am of the view breasts are part of what I call “private” parts.

So if someone purposely touched my elbow without consent. No crime. But if someone touched my breast. Crime.

So no, I don’t really want to see other people’s private parts on holiday.

And I wouldn’t be comfortable if my girls were walking topless in front of their dad or uncles on holiday.

Let’s be real.

oldmanandtheangel · 30/07/2024 12:35

I'm sure the men in your family are finding other ways to view tits ;)

ahaha 😂

Caterguin · 30/07/2024 13:13

I've just come back from a Spanish holiday resort and saw lots of boobs. We usually go to Greece or Turkey, where it seems to be less usual.

Boobs by the pool, boobs on the beach. The dc didn't comment, although teen ds may well have noticed.

It just made me envious of how many women appear to keep their fullness and often pertness, even after children and age. I could probably tie a bow with mine. I don't think we see enough real boobs in real life. But mine won't be unfettered.

Wigtopia · 30/07/2024 13:13

longdistanceclaraclara · 30/07/2024 12:39

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...

Half mast todgers 🤣🤣

earlymorningcurlewcall · 30/07/2024 13:13

I don't like the "if you don't like it then don't look" mentality. However, nudity on a beach is natural, and is far better than people wearing over-sexualised clothing. That's more inappropriate imo.

mitogoshi · 30/07/2024 13:13

In many Spanish resorts there's clothing optional beaches, it will blow your mind! Honestly, the only person looking is you. I quite like a naked swim myself.

I'd avoid the Canaries if I were you, might upset you!

Lifeomars · 30/07/2024 13:13

Are you distressed by public breast feeding too? I really thought we had progressed beyond this level of prudishness

So you would expect men to cover their breasts as well?

TittiesOutPutThemBack · 30/07/2024 13:07

sure
the ones I am referring to here are not British , all Northern Europe

How do you know that, have you marched around the whole beach asking each of them for their identity?🤔

If breasts were part of a male’s private parts then yes.

Usercyzabc · 30/07/2024 13:14

You sound uptight and unhinged OP, or have body issues, in any case what a bizarre post. Take it you’ve never been to mainland Europe.

Also what are you teaching your son about the female body.

Such drama over nothing.

showersandflowers · 30/07/2024 13:14

I think it sounds like a good learning opportunity for the boys on how to respect women in public doing about their business as they are entitled to. Maybe a good place to start would be to make sure they don't use the word "titties" when talking about someone they don't know on a personal level.

Breasts exist and they're beautiful, lucky you, I say to be around people who aren't as repressed as we are in the UK (I've seen about 4 bare men's chests today and zero women's)

I'm gobsmacked that this rather glaring difference even needs pointing out!

This thread is a case study in false equivalence.

Are you all sat on the beach in office attire? Full suit and tie or more Friday casual chinos and an ironed polo shirt?

No teenaged girls here, but back when I was one I sunbathed topless on family holidays if location appropriate (eg yes in Spain, no in Egypt). Why wouldn’t I?

TheSpoonyNavyReader · 30/07/2024 13:14

TittiesOutPutThemBack · 30/07/2024 13:05

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 !

Parent of 2 teenage girls, if they want to get their breasts out in front of family and friends then they can.......

If it makes males uncomfortable then the males have the right to move away and not look.

Why is it ok for a man to be topless and not a woman if that is what they want to do.

Idrinklotsofcoffee · 30/07/2024 13:14

A woman goes abroad and embraces a new culture...

ByKindOpalPoet · 30/07/2024 13:15

RisingSunn · 30/07/2024 13:04

Im with you OP. I wouldn’t want a man walking with his private parts in full view either.

can you show me where the OP states that the women had no bottoms on and therefore their vulva’s out? After all that’s the equivalent to a man having his penis out.
