Is this woman a prude?

[anotheoldgit]

And now for something a little titillating (please excuse the pun)

Is this columnist a prude or do you agree with her?

She's a prude.

[Pippa68]

Yes she is a bit!

I don't agree with her at all. Maybe she should choose a holiday destination away from 'The Med' as attitudes towards topless bathers/tanners are much more relaxed over there.

As for her quote: ''I loathe the way women randomly expose themselves in front of children, without any thought for propriety and decorum.'' what a load of old tosh! my kids have seen my boobies and I certainly wouldn't mind them seeing other womens boobies either. It's about time attitudes changed towards bare breasts on the beach!

Kebab anyone ?... lol

I am an OAP and belong to a leisure club with communal changing rooms. Mothers bring their children in - boys and girls - and at least these kids are seeing real women and won't have hang ups about not looking like the page 3 models that many children only ever see. Hopefully.

There is nothing at all sexual about nudity in itself. Tihs woman has hangs up from her inhibited upbringing, and she shouldn't be foisting them on her family.

[Pippa68]

LOL In A Pickle!

I like the way she says ''I am not a prude but...''

It's like saying ''I'm not racist but..'' or ''I'm not homophobic but...''

You know what's coming next...

[weeal]

maybe she wishes she could do it but is too reserved to try it

[daffy654]

She's probably jealous of the women because she doesn't have the guts to get her norks out in public (norks is what my fianc� calls them)

I have no problem with seeing boobies on holiday, indeed, two years ago, I was treated to the sight of Miss Uma Thurman topless on a beach in St Barts in the West Indies (true...really).

However, I feel very uncomfortable when on holiday with female mates and seeing their 'bangers'.

I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to matter if it's a stranger, but when it's someone I know, my eyes suddenly fixate on something on the horizon, and I get all embarrassed.

Wow...another hang up...will wonders never cease.

[Whickerman]

Yes she's a prude, and an unfortunate product of a society that deems nipples (gasp - nipples!) to be so taboo that they must be hidden.

And we all have them!

[jno]

but that appears to be a photo of her, according to the caption. So I don't know what to make of this.

[tigerlily11]

Shes probably the same sort of oldtimer that complains when she sees a woman breast feeding a baby.

[Petal~flower]

Why is she a prude? So, she doesn't want to go on holiday with her 4 kids and be confronted by naked breasts all day.

[Pippa68]

Well they didn't seem to mind:

''Thankfully, my nine-year-old was preoccupied with test driving his inflatable dolphin in the pool.


My 12-year-old, at the confused crossroads of adolescence, simply dived in and began swimming with unseemly haste.

It was left to my 14-year-old to reassure me - albeit with an embarrassed look - that he had a really good book to read''

The kids obviously had something better to do than 'ogle' topless women.

[Petal~flower]

I still don't think she is a prude. She is entitled to her own opinion. Not everyone feels comfortable surrounded by bare breasted women.

[weeal]

yeah she's gonna give her kids a complex about it

[Petal~flower]

Why would her kids get a complex?

Like I said, not everyone likes seeing women showing their boobs off. Still doesn't make her a prude in my opinion.

[flip_flop]

My only gripe is seeing the saggy old stretchmarked spanieled eared tits that middle aged and above women seem to fling about with gay abandon when on the beach.

If we are going to be subjected to it, can I suggest a maximum age of 40?

Some of us have our lunch on the beach and it it horrible seeing some of these women wobbling about when I'm trying to tuck into my ham and cheese.

And if they must insist on going topless, please, for the love of god, strap the damn things up when you decide to wander waist deep in to the Med for a **** (everybody knows that's what you are doing).

[Reverandfunk]

Im a bloke and I much prefer a woman in a nice bikini as oppossed to seeing them topless

[LoftyLottie]

And can I suggest then flip flop that all blokes with revolting beer bellies hanging over their shorts are all banned from beaches, whatever their age.
