Maybe they can just go topless indoors. Or use lots of high SPF sunblock.

I think you bring up a good point about WHY people are nude or a woman is topless.

Its one thing if say you just enjoy an all over tan or dont like swimsuits. Its another if you just want to be an exhibitionist.

So a topless woman on a quiet beach getting a no-tanline tan - no problem. Heck most people woudn’t even notice. Ripping her top off and flashing everyone to get a reaction or maybe beads thrown at her - not so good.

Finally I’d like to add this is an issue when we’ve tried to take youth groups down to go canoeing and certain people act like its spring break and theirs all kinds of flashing and bad behavior.

What problem does this cause that a dude doing the same thing doesn’t? We’ve had legal upper body male nudity in the US for decades and it hasn’t seemed to cause any societal collapse, and isn’t all that frequent. There were arrests topless men in NY as recently as 1936, so it certainly hasn’t been forever.

64

And having been to nude events, I can say that, after about 10 minutes, you get used to it! It ceases to be shocking. People you find attractive continue to be attractive. Other people, not so much. Nothing changes except the probability of sunstroke and/or frostbite, and, for males, the occasional embarrassment upon displaying one’s interest.

65

Hmm. That suggests a reason for the hatred of nudity…

66

…well, now that you’ve pointed it out, yeah…

67

During the whole “women going topless” brouhaha, I remember someone remarking “Next thing you know, they’ll want to have sex in public.” When same sex marriage was approved, a protestor told me “Now they’ll be having sex in public.”

What do breastfeeding and getting legally married have to do with having sex in public?

68

“People who want to do things that I think are wrong probably want to do ALL of the things that I think are wrong.”

69

Besides, it may lead to dancing.

70

How big a problem could bare boobs at the beach be in New Hampshire? The state doesn’t have all that much coast line.

71

Married women will get pregnant while having sex with their husbands in public and then have to breastfeed.

72

yeah - Dirty Dancing with loose feet!

73

Bare-breasted women dancing sounds … I guess it depends on how kinetic the dancing is.

Lakes. They have some rather large lakes. And while the distance from Maine to Massachusetts is short, the shoreline of the Bay is quite a bit more.

:smack:

I finally understand why the society I live in has almost collapsed.

My home is in ruins as we speak.

From It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World:

Terry Thomas: And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this wretched, godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all is this preposterous preoccupation with bosoms. Don’t you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I’ll wager you anything you like: if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight.

76

ummm yeah. Can you see all the traffic accidents while men do their rubbernecking at top speed?

As noted, there’s plenty of lakefront beach on NH (such as Weir’s Beach on Winnipesaukee

There’s also more coastline than you’d think, including Hampton Beach:

However, I speak from experience that the water there is kinda cold (and I’m from New Jersey, where the water isn’t exactly balmy). Cape Cod deflects the Gulf Stream away from the shores of New Hampshire and Maine.

But plenty of people still go in. And those who don’t often sunbathe.
