Nipples/breasts? Why so Taboo?
This is not me.
It is a simple question. Why are nipples/breasts so taboo? I want your opinion. Guys with their shirt off it is okay, but a girl, "OMG DON'T LOOK KIDS! NIPPLES!!! YOU SHOULD BE ashamed OF YOURSELF!" Keep in mind a lot of men have bigger breasts than most women!
Also, is this picture not as taboo in your mind because the nipples have been erased? Finally, while we are on it. Why can we have nipples of african tribes on public TV but not other races? Why the divide?
I know these sounds like silly questions, but I want some rational discussion over this topic.
Peace and love <3

The amount of body you cover is obviously a cultural norm that varies. But I think that we cover ourselves because when we moved into cities we started to live longer. Sure that rack in the photo is cute now. Forty years from now? Not so much.
I don't know which US beaches y'all go to but there is more skin on our beaches than on the sidewalks of Paris. But again, the fat German businessmen in Speedo's would drive me away from the Riviera as much as the topples grandmothers would lure me in.

Seriously, women's nipples here are Muslim women's bodies in the middle east. If women were suddenly allowed to go topless here, sure, I might stare for a few days, but anyone who's spent 6 hours straight at a topless bar (please don't tell me I'm the only one...) knows that you get accustomed to it. I bet they have 'facey' clubs over in some middle eastern caves somewhere... ;)
And, more to the point, since no one else has asked... Are those your chesticles in the picture there, Sophie? If they are, congratulations on your well-endowed mammaries.
BTW, nothing I've said here is original:

Doug Stanhope really gets into the 'tits in America' debate, and puts some pretty good points out there.

I wanted to ask too, but couldn't figure out how to go about it. Kudos to Chris.

I was wondering when someone would ask. But no that is not me. I should have made that clear in the original post.
Sorry to disappoint.

Well, since we all agree that it is no big deal, maybe you should....
...just kidding! ;-)
Although, I'd bet a million dollars that was the next thought for many of the men following this thread. See? You can't take us guys anywhere civilized.

I did laugh a little with that video.
Thanks again for everyone staying civil on this. Seriously, it is hard to find in the nets.

See he hits right on my point. You would stair for about a day and then you would get over it. But that is likely day dreaming on my part.

Well despite the fact their owner is anonymous, those knockers are knockin.
And walkin around topless would be amazing for the first coupla days until we males got used to it. Then it would just be moderately awesome for the rest of shirtless eternity.
This dude totally nailed it... that was hilarious, thanks for sharing. ;D
