Poll: Semi-nudity and different genders

[SteewpidZombie]

Either both should be allowed to go unclothed or both should be clothed...unless people enjoy seeing more of this:

Spoiler

Jokes aside though, it is more or less gender biased. Since the start of wearing clothing in the 'civilized' world all those hundreds of years ago, Men always dictated how things should be done and what rules should be in place. It could be assumed that it was Men who decided that they didn't want other guys looking at their wives or daughters, or Women who decided that they didn't like men staring at their chest the entire time they tried to have a conversation. I DUNNO!, It's just a couple theories.

Though because I am a guy myself and I can't resist the temptation...*ahem*...YAY FOR BOOBIES!

How many women want to "motorboat" men's chest? A man's bare chest can be nice, but its a different level with women than men. Personally, Id rather everyone wear shirts.

You don't like a good pec bouncing session? I had a camp counselor who could do that.

I prefer skinny nerdy guys that dont creep me out with their shirt off.

Well, one reason might be that men made the law and decided that in order to appear sexually appealing men should be allowed to show their abs and chest region, while women who got boobs appear sexually appealing even with their clothes on since their boobs are quite visible even under clothes.
Yeah, bad guess, I know. I don't actually know when it comes down to it.

Well first off male breasts aren't seen as being sexual, so men going topless isn't that "bad" of a thing.

Really? I've sucked on guys' nipples before during sex. Seems to be quite pleasant for them.

I suppose it depends on the guy. Personally it does nothing for me, but I don't have the heart to tell them that at the time given they were really into doing it to me.

In regard to the OP, if you really want to see sexual double standards in action just look at the way gay males are portrayed in the media as opposed to lesbians. I'm a hetro male and even I notice it!

Look if women walked around topless then; A. I wouldn't get anything done, and B. By the time they were in their 20's their boobs would have the age of a 60 year old. I think ya know what I mean.

"Will bras keep the breasts from sagging?

Bras will keep your breasts from sagging while you're wearing them - but not for the remainder of time. There is no published medical literature showing that bras prevent sagging. Even the bra industry seems to know this."

as you can see they dont do a thing

and

"However, there is some support for the idea that breasts in bras actually sag more (when bra is taken off). How could that be since the main idea of bras is to lift the breasts upward? The main idea is that the ligaments which support breasts in normal circumstances, would atrophy (get thinner and weaker) when breasts are immobilized within bras and don't have to bear their own weight."

This sums up my thoughts. The first bit is about cursing and language, but there is a small bit about nudity. Start it up at 1:35 to hear that bit.

"Why are we protecting our children form boobs? What, are they gonna pop off and mug them for their lunch money?"

 

[Saulkar]

if a woman did the same, parents would be averting their children's eyes, media companies would be barraged with complaints and she'd be made to put clothes on or, laws permitting, even arrested (Can the police do that? It sounds plausible).

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but I live in an area where women are legally allowed to go top-"free" should they choose to. It's actually a pretty sexist notion to allow men to go without tops but not allow women to do so, so the laws were changed. Funnily enough, when I see a women going topless, I notice it's only other women who get annoyed or angry with her. Doesn't happen too often though, other than March Break.

Wait! Where do you live that this is legal? As far as I know just about all North American and European countries do not permit it.

 

[TheEldestScroll]

Its a problem.

Its not an "in the interest of fairness men should cover their chests too" problem though. Its a "society needs to stop being such whiny bitches" problem. I'm no nudist, but whats wrong boobies? Last I checked they were for nursing. mainly.

Plus I have an extremely lazy nature, so if society WOULD stop being such "whiny bitches", it would save me the trouble of having to get dressed in the morning. Thats just an extra plus though.

 

[Saulkar]

Men don't have boobs. I thought that would be pretty obvious...

dont make me post a picture of a fat man, Ill do it, Im crazy

Post it! I dare you! Lets see how crazy you really are Fother Mucker!

 

[Nieroshai]

Well, male breast area isn't considered sexual. I don't understand some censoring choices like only blocking nipples, but it is the female breast.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

What?!

... but, if you didn't have the heart to tell the women you've slept with, then what about the men I've slept with? Were they faking it?

What's real? Am I real?

**cue existential crisis**

 

[JustCallMeAlex]

In Toronto women are allowed to go topless.
Never quite seen anyone actually take me up on that one.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

It makes it less 'special' when a woman trust you enough to get close enough to you that she is willing to expose herself for you, if you see tits everywhere

 

[Dags90]

Wait! Where do you live that this is legal? As far as I know just about all North American and European countries do not permit it.

Pretty sure it's legal in parts of Canada and know it's legal in parts of the U.S. (NY, OH, HW, MA, etc). I doubt it's changed the people who live there's lives much, but it's legal.

 

[Yokai]

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Especially the fact that women can be jailed for it. If other people want to complain about it, fine, whatever, but actually imprisoning someone because they're walking around with their tits out strikes me as petty, hugely misogynistic, and a waste of taxpayer money.

Portland has virtually no public nudity laws, though, so that's cool.

We do have breasts. They're just not as developed as that of a woman's. Yes, that does also mean we have mammary glands, IIRC.

 

[ninetails593]

I'll bet most of you chose the first option because you want to see topless women -.-

It's like that in my town as well.
