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

A tremor in the boobies. The last time I felt it was in the presence of nipples.

Why are nipples/breasts so taboo? (I'm assuming we are speaking of the USA)
- Because our culture/ideas of modesty says that they are taboo. This is partially due to the influence of the christian religion and it's ideas of modesty (where they got their ideas of modesty who knows?). It is clear however that all human cultures have their own idea of modesty for both men and women. I also feel like in this country it has something to do with the fact that there was a rather large period of time where formula was actively promoted over breastfeeding.
Why can we have nipples of african tribes on public TV but not other races? Why the divide?
- This divide exists for the reason I stated above. Some African tribes have different views of modesty and the particular channels (National Geographic, PBS for example) that show these particular tribal women are trying to accurately portray their way of life this includes their views on modesty.
As for the picture and if I think it's not as taboo because the nipple are erased.... frankly I find that picture disturbing. Boobs have nipples (baring some crazy accident or genetic abnormality) just show the whole damn thing.
