On the freeing of the nipple.

Occasionally one will see the old debate pop up online on women and the right to be topless in public.
But I feel like a lot of the people who support the idea have this vision of boobs visible from every window every day.
If I were presented with the option to be able to let the girls free on a hot day, I still probably would not. I feel like I’m leered at enough when I’m fully dressed.
Ladies, would you go topless outside if it were allowed?

I don't know.

I kinda think I look good in hat.

@GuiltyBiStander I agree. 😬

If it were on the ballot, I would vote to free the nip. But I, myself, am most comfortable in my clothes. In the summer that's a light cami and a loose top. In the winter, something heavier. But I have little interest in walking around topless.

And don't get me wrong... This has nothing to do with people seeing me. It's just how I'm most comfortable.

A lot could be said on this topic. Did you know men where not allowed to show their nipples back in the 1930's?

[quote]At the turn of the 20th century, all bared nipples—including males'—were a violation of public nudity laws in the US. In fact, the human areola was viewed as being extraordinarily crude ("immoral and evil") for both men and women throughout this time.[1] In the early 1930s, however, a group of four men began initial protests for their right to wear shirtless swim trunks. The men, who wandered about the hot beaches of Coney Island completely topless, were subsequently arrested. This motion gave rise to later events in 1935 in which 42 men flaunted their bare chests on an Atlantic City beach and were consequently apprehended en masse. Come 1936, the state of New York lifted the ban on male toplessness, deeming men's nipples "commonplace and natural."[2] This development paved the way for a 1986 boycott by seven topless women in Rochester, NY, whose case was taken to the New York Supreme Court and resulted in the 1992 ruling that all people, male or female, have the right to go topless in New York.[3]

Despite changes in statutes and regulations legalizing toplessness for women in a number of states, women are still at risk for being charged with public indecency, disturbing the peace, or lewd behavior.[4] As a case in point, a Ms. Phoenix Feeley was arrested and incarcerated for being topless in the state of New York in the year 2005. Because these charges were proven erroneous—considering female toplessness had been legal for nearly 15 years in the state of New York—Feeley was released and later received $29,000 in damages.[5]

no. makes me very uncomfortable.
If I were hot enough, then, yes... if I'm hot enough, I will wear a bikini top in public, too. I figure that my bare chest and me not fainting is better than me staying modest and fainting.

I have managed to change my beliefs on being leered at enough to be able to see it as a compliment to my man and his taste in women, though - and that helps me a bit... because it doesn't always work.

Don`t mind me, just taking notes.

You can't ask these kinds of questions on SW.

It is legal in my state but almost never done. I see it mostly in Pride parades, or once in a long while on the beach.
@Harmonium1923 I might in a Pride parade. There’s a feeling of unity and safety.

In the early part of the w0th century, it wasn't legal for men to be shirtless in public.
They have now been allowed to be shirtless for many years, but still most men would wear a shirt even in hot weather, other than at the beach.
In New York, it's legal for women to be topless anywhere men can be....but it's very rare to see a topless woman anywhere except at the beach (and it's not even all that common att the beaches).
I think that it's a good idea to allow men and women to be topless in public, but I don't expect that it will actually occur that often.
@DragonFruit
Exactly.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
You're never going to stop the leering. It's simply not going to happen more than it already is. The majority are just rude.

Clothing simply doesn't matter.
Go to a nudist beach sometime. You actually will be leered at less! Because it's old hat. Everyone is nude.

Yet if you hide it, you leave it up to the imagination. AKA leering!

It's not even easy to imagine anything different, when you are confronted with the reality.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
As far as men are concerned, I believe they will tire of leering, sooner or later.
In burka countries, men get aroused by seeing a woman’s face. In my country, some cities at least, a ladies legs are distracting for the common man.
But in nudist beaches I have seen pics of, men roam unaroused!!

Point being, satiation creeps in after starvation.

It's a done deal, isn't it? If you look at media coverage of social events, women are wearing transparent clothes, with completely visible nipples, and barely there panties.

Pretty much everywhere you go, beachwear consists of thong/string bikini and reversible top (if that), that barely cover the nipple.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
Nudists have the worst bodies…no way.
Magenta · F
That's a definite no from me.
Nope .

As much as i hate wearing a bra, i refuse to end up tucking my nip nops into my undies when im 80.

I like my bewbs exactly where they are 😌

I personally believe that men only gaze at boobs because they're so taboo and sexualized. If seeing boobs in public became the norm, men would eventually become desensitized.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@eventtemple123 I'm fully convinced you're right.
So my daughter thinks, any time a man can go topless a female should be able to do the same, my wife says only if its warm enough
Degbeme · 70-79, M
It`s legal for women to go topless in my province, I have yet to see it happen.
blackarcher256 · 61-69, M
Shrug….I wouldn’t have a problem with it. But I’ll admit, every time I make love to a woman I love the moment of discovery…..the unwrapping of something so beautiful….and intimacy of the moment. If it was commonplace all of that would be lost.
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
I'd feel sorry for the poor girl who; wanting to fit in, would go topless, but in reality needs to wear a sports bra so things don't bounce out of control.
No straight man gunna object
exexec · 61-69, C
My wife says "Never!"

As man, I can confirm. I would indeed be leering at those puppies.
