Ya know there is a lot to be said about the benefits of vitamin D. Just go however you are most comfortable. If some weirdo hasn't seen breasts before then he's the one with the problem. Not the woman that is showing them. It's perfectly legal in a lot of states too. It is in Texas I know within limits.

That has been changing in a lot of europe though in my experience. What once was a. purely american probem with nudity is spreading even to germany who many believe started the whole thing with public nudity. To me its just stupid. Its completely natural. If just being braless offends or excites or offends someone then they really do have sa problem. The only rule related to clothes that we have is sit on a towel ic you arent wearing anything and no sexual stuff in public. They are pretty universal rules.

Honi soit qui mal y pense

"Translation: It may be understood as 'A scoundrel, who thinks badly by it', or 'Shame on him, who suspects illicit motivation'.
Another alternative translation: "Spurned be the one who evil thinks".

This statement supposedly originated when King Edward III was dancing with his first cousin and daughter-in-law, Joan of Kent. Her garter slipped down to her ankle, causing those around her to snigger at her humiliation. In an act of chivalry Edward placed the garter around his own leg, saying "Honi soit qui mal y pense"

Honi soit qui mal y pense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm glad the police never went after us kids all bathing in the creek when I was young. Kids of all ages and sexes. Adults too most of the time. Noone in our area had running water so it was accepted. Now everyone does and it's illegal in that state to be naked anywhere. Even in your own house if other family members are present. It's a messed up world.

Pre-GPS, the charter boat companies in the Virgins had numerous anchorages they declared offlimits for the boats they rented, too hard for those without local knowledge to get into. We'd go to exactly those places and spend a week or two naked night and day - it's amazing how quickly skin dries in the sun, and how nice it is not to spend your time in a clammy wet bathing suit. We'd wear clothing if we were coming into a more populated anchorage, then anchor off toward the edge, and strip down again. Not flaunting it, but not cowering either. I don't understand the way that could be construed as offensive.

I wish I had one. Our new boat WAS my hot tub fund. Maybe next year. It kinda made me mad when the guy I bought it from went out and bought the exact same tub I was looking at with the cash I gave him too and I never said a word about it.
Thinking about hooking up our horse trough to a recirc line from the water heater now to hold us over.

I miss the late 70s when many young women went braless and there were very few "enhanced" boobs. Young women with cute little ones seem few and far between these days. My wife (GF then) rarely wore one back then. Whatever happened to all the slim small chested girls who looked so good in Danskins.
I went to a high school in early 70s that was total chaos and no dress code. Few of the girls wore bras and what the girls wore makes Hooters seem modest. Of course, nobody learned anything academic. Rainy days were something to look forward to. Today when my daughters high school rants about their dress code I just laugh because none of the
My first sailing experience was with a girl whose bikini kept coming untied, of course I am still sailing trying to recapture that moment.
