Doper females, did you ever flash "the girls"

In My Humble Opinion
21

At Mardi Gras one year I did. Kind of a “When In Rome” thing. The guys I was with, all just friends of mine, were all for it; it got us all better beads (Which they could then use to bribe girls with racks they really wanted to see). But later that same year I was at the Indy 500 and although some women were doing it to cheers and acclaim, it was just felt like different thing. That was a big “No thanks.”

I have no idea what my husband would think now if I were so inclined. I suspect he’d find it funny.

I am not from a broken home. Aberrant, maybe.

22

Nah, I never felt I had anything of interest under there. That would be the main reason, but then again, I’ve never felt the urge, either.

I was pulled up on stage for some bit or another. I don’t even remember what it was. But for about 10 minutes I was part of the show. At the end of the bit (which got the appropriate number of laughs), someone, I think it was an actor in the wings, yelled, “take off your shirt!” So I shrugged, and I took off my shirt. Brought the house down.

Now that is just the coolest thing ever. applause

No. But I’m shy and prudish and modest and don’t see the point.

I’m all this, plus unattractive. They’re big, and not actually scarred or deformed, but that’s about the only good thing about them- they’re also very pale, tend to sag, and have other issues that I won’t even mention here. And the rest of my body looks worse. I know that nobody wants to see that, so, as a favor to everybody, I keep myself covered.

I don’t like changing in communal dressing rooms, either. I change as quickly as possible, facing toward a wall (or a corner if I can get one), hunched over. I don’t look at or talk to anyone else while I’m changing, and make an effort not to look at others while they change. I’ll find a bathroom or shower stall instead if at all possible.

If I were somewhere where other women were flashing theirs, I would feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable, and would want to leave ASAP.

I have standing plans, if mine ever fell out of a dress or swimsuit in public, to find a Buddhist convent in Siberia where they don’t speak English or have internet access, and live there for the rest of my life. Then I’d never have to hear about it or see anyone who had seen it again.

I’m willing to accept that my thoughts about these things are probably less normal than those of women who would flash others. I’m quite sure my self-esteem, at least as it relates to body issues, is lower than theirs. Fortunately, I have other attributes to feel good about.

A dung beetle, not being a mammal, presumably wouldn’t have breasts…

Aren’t topless and flashing two different things though?

I’ve gone topless, in appropriate situations, no big deal. Flashing? Once by accident (startled roomie and his girlfriend at an ungodly hour when I took off my top after coming in the door and walked past the living room to my bedroom..) and once or twice on purpose (which was more of letting a guy get a good look down my shirt).
[/QUOTE]

Same here. I’ve gone topless at nude swimming holes and drunken boat parties but I’ve never intentionally flashed anyone in public. I don’t hold it against anyone but it seems sorta silly to me.

Actually, one time it was a tit for tat (I flashed the girls, he flashed a very impressive six-pack and pecs)

What was his tattoo?

26

I’ve done it a few times, once in response to a “show us your tits!” kinda thing, and then twice to friends for giggles. In high school, me and a carload of friends were behind a school bus with three of our classmates sitting in back making faces and flipping us off etc. So we all flashed them. The look on their faces was priceless. Oddly, one by one, those three guys have died in the ten years since that happened. So I will never flash again; I might kill somebody.

Exactly! bursts into tears

Actually, I’m not nearly as down on myself as I used to be about that, but I still have no plans to wave them about. :smiley:

28

I have! Once when I was about 16, proud and perky they were! I was walking down the beach, and a big group of guys had a sign “Show us your tits!” - and I just did it! I laughed my ass off.

Another time was at a drunken biker party, and my boyfriend/husband (I can’t remember if we were married yet) came up behind me and flashed them for me. I laughingly slapped his hands away from me. I was in my early 20’s. Good times!

It’s no big deal in the right setting. I’ve actually flashed my (current) husband a few times in the front yard (when it was safe! ;))

29

nope. I’m a shy girl as well. It’s just not something I would do. I’m very relaxed about my body with my husband but I keep everything under wraps in public.

30

Yes, back when they were much rounder and firmer. Now that they look like wrinkled tube socks with sand in the bottom, flashing them would be akin to cruel and inhumane punishment. If/when I get them fixed, my husband is well aware of the fact that I will be showing them off to anyone and everyone. I don’t see anything wrong with it, although I am kind of a freak that way.

Har. I guess it should’ve said it was actually a case of all tit and no tat.

(much to my disappointment)

32

This is a friend of a friend story, but I think it’s funny so bear with me…

A friend of mine has another circle of friends that were at somebody’s house playing music and getting tipsy. The group was mostly female. As the booze kicked in, one of the guys was trying to convince the girls to flash for him. They said no. A few hours (and drinks) later, he asked again. They said no. Later still, he asked again, and they relented and gave him an eyeful.

The funny part?

He was drunk by then, and doesn’t remember it. :smiley:

33

Guy providing an opinion of SO flashing. Seems obvious that it all depends on the circumstances.

Flashing me? Go baby!
Out with a group of people we know. I’d probably object.
Mardi Gra? I’m the guy handing out the good beads.
Mardi Gra with a group we know? Probably okay.

34

Sure I have, but I’ve gone topless more often, if there’s a distinction.

My friends and I used to let it all hang out at the lake or in the hot tub fairly frequently. It’s not something I would do much now, but I’m ten years older, gravity has had its way with me, and my now-SO would be made uncomfortable by it.

It never happens in the Netherlands, that I’m aware of. Women are publicly naked or they are clothed, as the situation demands (nude beaches, nursing) but no flashing. It wouldn’t even be understood.

Bolding Mine

I have a hard time believing that.

However, next time some aberrant, self-loathing trollop flashes me her endowment I’ll say, “Ik ben droevig, begrijp ik niet. Kon u alstublieft opnieuw proberen?”

Anecdotally, I remember when a girlfriend of mine flashed a group of bikers while we were on a road trip. She was definitely not the type to flash in general, but I didn’t have a problem with it. (Once I got over the visions of Road Warrior coursing through my head.)

I also remember when Drew Barrymore flashed David Letterman on TV. There were some comments regarding her trampsihness, but I thought it was very sexy.

36

I’m with tremorviolet. Never flashed, never will, but I’ve gone topless on a topless beach.
Seriously, what’s in it for the woman?

37

Never in a million years would I flash someone. I don’t even like to wear low cut or tight shirts. On the other hand, I’ve breastfed in public many times, although I’ve never been very comfortable doing it.

38

Meg did it on Family Guy.

And, as we all know, anything done on Family Guy is Sick and Wrong.

Giggles, mostly. Sometimes shiny plastic beads.

Girl, you’re gettin’ me all hot talking like that :stuck_out_tongue:

The key to that whole scene, though, was the priceless look on Dave’s face!
