Go 'head

I'm trying to work up the courage to go around topless come warm weather, actually. I can't be arrested for it, I'm just not sure if I could handle the attention doing it out on the street.

I'll probably just end up going to the nude beach where everyone's in the altogether themselves so nobody stares at me.

Why do you feel this way?

I could not agree more! If the person removing their shirt is not uncomfortable then no one else should be. Don't like it? Don't look.
Hell, I think you should be able to be naked(as long as there is no lewd public behavior) if you're comfortable, regardless of what kind of shape you're in. It's your body, not mine.
I always hear about people being disappointed when they go to nude beaches and expect to find fitness models walking around.
Like mothers in their mid 40's and middle aged men are supposed to look like Greek statues.
Meanwhile, the people criticizing ... they don't look too hot either.

At least Ernest had the Cajones to post where y'all at...

Well, size and function... Unless mine are broken.

I feel that way because it's indecent (at least in industrialized countries), and I don't want to see all of that. Breasts to me are just like genitals: They are involved with reproduction, and therefore shouldn't be shown nude in public. Besides, I can't stand vulgar cleavage that some women show with their clothes, so I certainly wouldn't appreciate seeing bare breasts everywhere.

tinaz said:

Not here. It's legal for both men and women to go topless in this province.

It should be legal everywhere.

JustErin said:

Like, anywhere??

meow85 said:

haha well if I had one, you could.

JerseyKRS said:

Sure. If a business doesn't want shirtless people in it, they just put up one of those, "no shoes, no shirt, no business" type signs.

WaterInYourBath said:

maybe it's because i am gay, and just have no idea, but... how in the world are breasts involved in reproduction?

That's about as wrong as you can get. Since when does a titty fuck get a girl knocked up? Nipples on me and women are make of erectile tissue - the same tissue that the penis is formed with. So if women's ta ta's are sexual organs, then so are men's pectorals.

Your logic is flawed, and uneducated. If you view breasts the same as you do your own dick (or vag), then you still have a lot to learn about anatomy in general, not to mention sexuality.

Is your hair photoshoped?
There's repeating patterns of pixesl.

Not making fun or anything, but is it photoshoped?

TheVoid said:

Yeah, the guy who took the pictures did it for some reason. I never think about it when I post the picture.

Um...I've always thought it a double standard that men can be shirtless and not women. In my opinion, both should be legal. I don't see why the human body naked is such a big deal...if nudity bothers you so much, then cloister yourself.
=0P

They aren’t.

Our society has sexualized breasts though, like it or not, and that’s the reality. And I think there should be something mysterious and taboo about sex and such. We wrap presents for a reason. A strip tease is WAY sexier than a naked woman just sitting there hanging out.

I have no problem with mothers breast-feeding discreetly in public places (it’s natural) and I have no problem with topless beaches (time and place) but I don’t want to see boobs when I’m walkin’ down the street any more than I think a guy should walk into a store without a shirt on.

CarrieMpls said:

i mostly agree.

ernestsewell said:

OK.
Well, it's not that I was nit picking or anything. I actually have this mild but weird OCD thing where I notice patterns and grids and I sometime get fixated on them.

I can't walk a checkered floor or else I end up stepping only on one of the colors on the floor. Yes, I know...I ain't right.


Anyways, orgnoted you....

No one is talking about perverted crap like that. What are you talking about? So breasts are not involved with reproduction? They are not changed/used in any way during and after parturition? So that means they do not lactate and are never needed for feeding an infant, unlike a man's pectoral muscles?

Umm, no. You've got some nerve calling me uneducated. You have no idea....Your vulgarity is what is ignorant.

WaterInYourBath said:

You are being uneducated in your response. Let me clear that up for you. Open your mind. You have two ears, and one mouth for a reason.

1) Titty fucks aren't perverted. Perhaps a bit boring for women, but not perverted, regardless.

2) Breasts are not involved in the process of implanting sperm in a woman's egg (ie: Not sexual organs). Women get pregnant all the time with the blouses and bras ON. Hmmm, curious that.

3) They are not used or relevant when a woman is pushing out a newborn and bringing life into the world, no more than she's having an orgasm from her vagina being stretched out, or her clitoris possibly being rubbed during the process (ie: Not sexual organs)

4) Breasts lactating isn't a sexual activity. The mother isn't feeding the baby vaginal secretions. It's not like a penis creating precum or a vagina secreting during sexual arousal. If breasts are sexual organs, and babies are breast fed, isn't that a bit perverted thinking on your part? Is the mother abusing the child because she's sticking her breasts up to the baby's mouth? Of course not. I hope your see your flawed logic.

5) Lactation is a natural state of a woman after birth to feed her child. Way before we had formula, we had breast milk. Eve fed Cain and Able with breast milk. Wasn't anything sexual about that. None of that is sexual, nor is it a sexual act (breast feeding a child).

You are very confused about what is sexual and what is not. CarrieMPLS stated flat out that breasts are not sexual organs.

You know, my ears are hot spot erogenous zones. Someone chews or nibbles on my ears, and I get hard in a hot second. Does that make my ears a sexual organ, the same as a penis or a vagina? That's the same logic you put into saying breasts are sexual organs. You also said you "viewed them the same". Your view isn't correct, nor is it based in the facts of human anatomy. You can have your view, and you're entitled to be wrong. But when the facts are put to you, don't deny them just for the sake of being right. Learn from it.

ernestsewell said:

Did I say anything about breasts being "sexual?" Yes, they are certainly related to sexual imagery/activity, but did I mention that? Did I say anything about them being actual sex organs, required to conceive a child? No I did not. I'm so tired of debating with people who don't read and comprehend what I post on here. I said they are "like genitals," and are "involved" with reproductive processes because of their growth and required use after childbirth, which is the truth, regardless of whatever you think. Plus, breasts temporarily increase in size during pre-menstruation, and "like genitals," they swell when aroused. Stop trying to tell me about human physiology when I already know what I'm talking about.

And also, no one asked for information about your erogenous zones. That has nothing to do with anything in this thread.

Now I know what the Vulcan's felt like when they made first contact with humans.

How long can sig files be? Ernest, happy birthday, I love you.

I've not laughed so much at a post for years. Thank you

CarrieMpls said:

But do you want to legislate your taste, and make everyone else follow? To me pick up trucks are incredibly offensive to look at, but I wouldn't enforce my thinking on everyone else (well trucks maybe....especially when shirtless guys are driving them)

CarrieMpls said:

exactly, after spending some time with nudists I am so happy humans adopted clothing. Keeping a barrier between us makes life better IMO, not only for visual senses, but for our sense of smell too!!

Time and place, as you say. I don't want to be working with shirtless people, male or female, or in close proximity with some sweaty guy, but when they're on the beach then have at it.
