> [@](#): > > Is high spirited breast flashing becoming a socially acceptable form of expression? I wish! I went canoeing this weekend on a river known for its party atmosphere, and deep down inside (deep, DEEP down, where my wife couldn’t see it) I secretly hoped to see a little HSBF. No such luck. You know what I got instead? Some dude receiving the “bidet treatment” – which consisted of him pulling down his pants and another guy using a water gun to cleanse his cheeks of sticky turd remnants that were left behind because he had crapped on the shore but he didn’t have any toilet paper. All the pert and pertty boobies remained covered. Dammit. ---

The next time you go bring a camera along and take pictures. It does not matter if you have film. Unless, of course you have a need to share proof with anyone. It is a bit like trying to photoraph lightning, though. 😉 \ ---

I guess high spirited breast flashing is the norm. You hardly ever see \*mopey \* breast flashing. “Oh all right…_here_…(.)(.)…now can we just go _home_?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-high-spirited-breast-flashing-becoming-a-socially-acceptable-form-of-expression/258044.md?page=2)
