Topless on the Beach — The Ladies Room on True Nudists

Tom DOriginal Poster

Nov 21, 2024

It seems like there are many women who are comfortable wearing very minimal tops on the beach.
However, while being topless is legal for women at New York state parks and beaches and on the beach in Miami, very few are.
Can someone explain why women are reluctant to remove just a few square inches of cloth covering part of their breasts?

Yes it does, its a bug, did we need to clarify which state Miami is in ?
Back on point, in Europe toplessness is widely practiced, as is nudity, but I guess some women simply feel uncomfortable being sexualised ?

Despite thongs becoming so common where I am now, the only publicly-exposed breast I've been aware of is a Mother feeding her infant at the beach this morning.

The only one I saw on a man was when I looked down. 98% boardshorts or wetsuits, an occasional brief.

They give weight to certain ideas. And they give practice to such ideas in their life. When people get an idea in their head, they keep it, and even though it is not grounded in truth at all, they still keep such ideas in their mind. Everyone disagrees in current times about the truth. My view is that there are possibilities that happen, and some that are less likely to happen. My guess as to why many do not practice naturism or topfreedom in Miami when it is legal on South Beach just would be that nobody currently knows about naturism because it's being censored and forgotten in the USA even by "mainstream Americans." So, naturism is not known for a good reputation because nobody knows what it is at all in many parts of America. If it was known and was made available to many many people across much of society without the natural course of the division of society caused by the truth tellers telling off the people who tell lies against naturism, then naturism would grow positively. But because liars promote misconceptions about naturism at large in mainstream media and other alternative media sources that are predominant in America, they tell us all sorts of misconceptions and give naturism a bad reputation. I want people doing the wrong thing, either from inside naturism in America that give it a bad reputation, or haters of naturism who spread misconceptions and lies to be disproven by the behavior of the American naturism practitioners. And Naturism in America is confused whenever situations in which some people behave poorly and the communities double down on denials of behaviors of the bad apples. It rarely happens, but some leaders do not always do the right thing in groups. Everyone who is in the public eye should own up to the poor behaviors they give as leaders, but not everyone is perfect, so many people end up making bad mistakes on purpose and never own up to it. Naturism is not about exploitation. It is not about forcing people into situations they do not want to enter. Naturism is only about personal responsibility, respect for self, respect for others, and respect for the environment. If you contradict that in your naturism or naked-ness, that is the contradiction. and everyone that breaks those three principles is not following naturism if they really do not care about any of those. Many American naturists or "nudists" do not care about this, and many people that have naked-ness honestly sometimes do not really care about this. People that are nudists are not always naturists, and I think that, honestly, nudity should be a part of naturism, but never is the end goal of naturism, just the means to accomplish the objectives of "Personal Responsibility, Respect for self, Respect for others, Respect for the Environment, and Harmony with Nature." That is my two cents. None of that was directed immediately at anyone. Have a good day.

Anyway, it seems odd to me that woman dont go topless in the US when they do so freely in Europe. I wonder why this is ?

There was a proposal a few years ago to permit topless sunbathing on a lightly used portion of the beach in Asbury Park, NJ. A group of residents came to a council meeting to protest against the proposal and it was dropped.

Seems amazing that there would be objections to boobs being seen on the beach, especially given they are on TV, in movies and the availability online. Maybe the locals are concerned about the unsavoury types who may hang around to perv.
Topless women seen on the beaches here in Oz seems to ebb and flow. Saw lots again a few years ago but not so much last year, maybe it is where I go. Young women were coming in groups to Pt Addis where I sometimes go and once away from the family area, they would be topless in a group, I guess safety in numbers is the reasoning. A few would venture further along to the older CO section and be topless, some would get nude. I was hoping this was a sign that nudity was getting popular again, but it tapered off. We will see this summer.

This question was posed in the ladies room by a man.
As usual, its all us men who are sharing opinions, In the ladies forum.
As we will never get a womans opinion on the question, I suggest we ask the original poster to answer the question as he probably knows better than most.
So why wont your wife go topless on the beach?
Whatever her answer is, just generalise it to all women everywhere.

I was hoping to get some of these women to post, but none have.

Where else should one pose a question about topless sunbathing?
Yes its unfortunate women wont answer what seems reasonable question, maybe for the same reasons they wont topless sunbathe?
There arent many women on TN because of over zealous sexualisation?
I can only speak for my partner who, does sunbathe topless with her gfs and me but feels less comfortable on her own. She very rarely goes out braless even though she has small breasts because of the unwanted attention her nipples attract. So why dont women sunbathe topless? Seems an obvious answer to me..?
Anyway, appears wrong by some that we men are discussing this
