But breasts will always be sexualised... I don't understand your point.

Breasts are part of a woman's body (obvs) which is what us (straight) men are attracted to? To what extent do you wish them to be desexualised?


200 years ago, ankles were sexualised. 100 years ago, stomachs were sexualised. In some cultures, even today, the hair on a woman's head is sexualised. It's more the fact that we don't see breasts and are expected to find them sexual, rather than there being anything that's hardwired in a straight male's brain that makes them sexually attractive. Also, there was a time before people had clothes, and evolutionarily and biologically, we have changed very little since then. Pressumably, breasts weren't sexualised then, people would have seen them practically non stop since birth. I think there is further evidence of this from relatively undisturbed tribes, who are genetically the same as us, but women don't wear anything over their chests and breats aren't sexualised there

Or, perhaps - the only times you ever see breasts is immediately before sex or masturbating, so you're accustomed to seeing them sexually. If I see a pec however, is more likely to be a chav drinking Carling on a hot day wearing adidas joggers.

Next, you absolute misogynistic flower, women also have sexual reactions to things - but we don't feel the need to "ACT" on it. You wait until you are in a private place and take care of that urge if you need to. You don't think we get all hot and bothered when we see a nice pec or some abs? Sure we do. We're just taught that it's not socially acceptable to slobber after other people. Perhaps if you men were taught the same you'd find it easier to control yourself.

If you are really so incapable of controlling yourself when you see a breast - because not every single one you see in your life will not be on a woman that consents to sex with you - then you need professional help. And teaching that if you see a woman's body (or any body), your reaction isn't too pop a boner or "act" on your urges - you need to remind yourself that that wet hole you fancy diving into is, in fact, a body part of another sentient human being. You have no claim to it. If you pop a boner you don't have right to stick your penis into whatever you fancy. You're not an animal, you're perfectly capable of controlling yourself. So don't blame another person's body for your own, disgusting, lack of self control.

Tl;dr
Yes, we should be able to topless if men do ^^ free ALL the nipples, or keep all the nipples locked away. The thought that women's bodies are more sexual than men's is ridiculous. No, we are taught from a young age that men are allowed to be overtly sexual and women aren't. Change the teaching - change the thought.


Slayyyyy



With your misogynistic views I'm surprised you even have the capacity to read in the first place.
They already are.
Why has my post vanished? I don't even have a TSR notification?

Anyway, I will repeat what I said.

Women should be forced to cover up, legally hopefully, more so that I am not tempted to do anything.

Maybe she didn't fit your sexual preference? I don't get a raging boner from every single woman...


If you look at the posts near mine you'd see that some people were saying men cannot control themselves around boobs - all boobs. I was just highlighting that it's possible to see a pair and not have the world end.
Well these days most men have a larger chest than me, I've hardly got a chest so I do feel it's u fair, though I wouldn't want to show my breasts anyway, I rarely even show my legs, full arms or shoulders.
Your attitude is shameful. Im definitely no feminist but it is extremely clear you value yourself higher than women, in the year 2016...

I could break down your post and explain to you why everything you've just said is ridiculous, but I'm not going to waste my time.
Yeah, I dont put sticky gems on them just for myself to see do I

I'm yet to hear an argument as to why breasts aren't sexual (insofar as they're secondary sexual characteristics). You say it yourself that your presume there was a time that breasts weren't considered sexual, but do you have evidence to support this claim?

I remember watching a documentary a while ago where the evolution of breasts was explained in that they were made to mimic buttocks. Implying that they do serve a sexual function.

Perhaps some men liked to see ankles 200 years ago, but that doesn't mean that they didn't like breasts more. You still have foot fetishists today whilst everybody can see feet... And judging by the amount of porn produced in this category, it mustn't be just a small group.

Man is the only mammal species for which females retain large breasts outside their lactation periods. Their purpose is specifically to attract males. The fact that hair on a woman's head is no longer hidden in our cultures doesn't mean that men do not consider hair during the selection process; I am not attracted to a woman with short hair, regardless of her other "attributes" - and I think most men will be repulsed by a bald woman. I presume that it is the same for the primitive cultures that are mentioned in this thread; their men can see bare breasts everyday, but that doesn't mean that they are not attracted to them.

PS: Men have sexualised breasts for quite a long time; only feminists think that they will stop doing so if they can show their breasts.

Birkha advocate over here!
tbh I'd feel intimidated by big breasts flying everywhere and I think there would be an increase in boob jobs and possibly a psychological impact like low self-esteem especially for young women in society. you got to think of the bigger picture, although there's nothing wrong with being topless but I just think most women would prefer covering up instead of being semi-nude due to countless reasons which I'm sure we can automatically think of e.g sexual harassment cat calling etc etc. personally I don't mind but I wouldn't want my 7 year old brother being fascinated by boobs

Spanish women don't walk topless in the streets. A few go topless at the beach. :rolleyes:


Every time I go to Torrevieja, seems like no one above the age of 40 wears a shirt. Male or female. Yeap, streets included (have to put on a shirt to enter supermarkets, shops or buses)

And I don't think the person you were quoting was referring to people walking topless through capital cities. No one, anywhere, does that afaik

Yes, women should be forced to wear such clothing.

Anybody who does not support this is a racist Nazi Islamophobic bigot.

Most men wear some kind of top most of the time. Women can choose.

Your 7 yr old brother is already or is going to be fascinated by boobs.
If is acceptable for a man to bare his chest in certain situations it should be the same for a woman. I wouldn't personally bc women's nipples are much more sensitive than a males also they would be jiggling around and tbh it's just too uncomfortable :biggrin:
However although the purpose of breasts are not to be sexual there's no escaping the fact that this is how they're thought of in our society.

Breasts are sexual things. They will always be 'sexualised'

Personally I think women should be allowed to bear their wanton titties in public. If a lady wants to display her milk jugs to all and plenty, what sort of misogynyistic pig would I be to oppose them?

My reasons are wholesome and innocent 🙇
