Husband requested this....

Hey all,

Just wanted a bit of advice.

Weird one this, which has made me post on here for advice. In a nutshell, hubby and I are going on holiday to Tenerife next month. Situation is that we are going with another couple. Now then, other couple are my best friend. She is bit of an exhibitionist and struts about the beach in next to nothing.

The thing that's on my mind is that, I mentioned my friends relaxed behaviour towards beachwear to hubby...to be blunt she has massive boobs and isn't shy about showing them. Soooooo this is the crux of the matter, hubby wants me to do the same. And go topless as well, which means in front of my friends fella. I'm feeling quite nervous about it, I usually do sunbathe topless but never have in front of male friends before.

Is it normal for a guy to want his wife to be like it in front of male friends? And more importantly what shall I do?

Help!!!!!

Ottilia. Is your husband a librarian? Wink

OttiliaVonBCup · 21/06/2015 21:27

No.
My Auto Correct is a prude.

Look at my name.
We're not talking Oxford dictionaries here....

DustBunnyFarmer · 21/06/2015 22:37

Oxford Concise, Ottilia?

OttiliaVonBCup · 21/06/2015 22:43

Quite.
That would be my arse though.

sophieriley My husband would love me to walk around naked.. in the privacy of our own home, never ever ever in public. He also wouldn't be comfortable with the OP's friend doing so and I would end up having to mention it or we'd avoid them in situation where that was a possibility.

You shouldn't do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

If you feel you are being pressurised to do this then you need to sort this out before you go on holiday.
Has he ever pressurised you into anything before this?

op not been back ?*

Off course not. Were we expecting him to come back? Wink

Don't listen to all the silly posts knocking your husband. He has either chosen a poor choice of words or you haven't translated accurately...whatever!

The answer to your first question is;
Yes...it is VERY normal for a husband to be proud of his wife.
The answer to your second question is;
Only you can decide.

I'm happy for my DW to go topless but we have only been on holiday with family recently. My Dad would have a heart attack (poor old fella) and she feels self conscious in front of our DC's (15 & 12 yrs old)
I am however sure that if friends were present and they were topless she would be happy to do the same.
When she has been topless before she has always been discrete in only being topless when sunbathing and does not wander around the beach 'waving them around'

Vivacia · 22/06/2015 14:28

How is any of that relevant to the OP's pretend situation?

And proud of someone's body parts? I'm not proud of my DP's biceps Confused I guess I admire his dedication at the gym but "proud"? No.

AnyFucker · 22/06/2015 15:36

it was a rhetorical question, BB Grin

AnyFucker · 22/06/2015 15:37

a male work colleague once told me he was "proud" of his wife's enlarging breasts during pregnancy

he got the Biscuit with his coffee

BaronessBomburst · 22/06/2015 15:46

I know AF. I just wanted to highlight the point for any readers who may still have missed it.

AnyFucker · 22/06/2015 16:01

gotcha Wink

holeinmyheart · 22/06/2015 22:49

I am on holiday now and no one is going topless on our complex. Strutting about topless exposing sensitive skin is definitely passé.
You shouldn't be forced into doing something you don't feel comfortable with anyway.
I thought the best suggestion is to tell your Dh if he gets his bits out you will as well. That should shut him up.

Would he like his Penis compared with your friends husbands Penis?
