Why is it not legal everywhere that it is for men? This is ass backwards lol. I just always assumed it was more of a women saying “not gonna do that cause pervs” type thing and how overly sexualized boobs are

It’s a straw man / non issue.

In Germany are public places marked as FKK (Freikörper Kultur = Full Nudity in Public), which are literally normal areas without any special consideration in terms of visibility. Best case: There is a sign notifying the squeamish that there could be Nudity… normal Case: No one gives a fuck.

Heck, the best public baths are the sauna/thermal baths with are mandatory nude, age restriction 16+…

It has no sexual meaning … you go there, everyone is naked after 10 seconds of slight awkwardness, you forget about it and enjoy the freedom of “no cold and wet swimwear” on the body.

It’s great!

I doubt Americans are different in that perspective.

Edit: Perverts won’t have fun there. The people are average and mostly old and the behavior is casual. It’s like seeing your mom or dad naked. The few People who could get off on this have issues.

But I thought they love “freedom” over everything?

You didn’t experience freedom when you never took a thermal bath and grilled your balls in the sun… :)

exactly, we’re so regressive here that some parents just never even talk to their children about sex or their bodies because they are too ashamed to bring up the topic. nudity in public would not go over well

The Article made it sound like hyped up “look at this thing and how unbelievable it is” while it is completely normal.

But I think I am ignorant regarding the issue in the US an I think I became a sex offender at least twice while visiting the US. ._.

Well you’re kinda right. I’ve lived in BC and the Yukon where it’s fully legal for women to go topless and I know quite a few who have, for shorter events like naked bike ride etc. But most of them intelligently choose not to at public beaches and whatnot because of the ick factor.

I know one lady who did choose to go topless on a hot summer day in a fairly major downtown center and was accosted by cops whom she had to argue with (gladly, and loudly) for over an hour to explain to them that she was breaking no laws. They were trying to pressure her to re-robe because they were getting complaints, but again it’s true that she was breaking no laws at all. They couldn’t in the end do anything about it, and rightly so.

Honestly, boobs are not that exciting.

Have you ever been to a topless beach? The novelty wears out after about 10 seconds and then it becomes a boring norm.

I think boobs are super exciting. I love boobs.

If they’re connected to the body of the girl I’m being intimate with that is.

Walked into Starbucks today to grab a food order and saw an attractive woman breastfeeding her child today, though, and not one sexual thought entered my mind.

Thats the part most men struggle with.

And some women, too, though not for the same reasons. “Oh that’s not something thAt should be done in public!” Okay so I guess for the same reasons, just different thought processes to arrive there.
