It’s all about context. I don’t find topless women on a beach or at a poolside sunbathing really erotic. I’m mainly happy for them that they’re at ease enough with their surroundings and enjoy the same freedom men have.
A mother breastfeeding a child in public? Mainly sweet but not erotic.
My partner shoving her boobs in my face, definitely erotic !
It’s all about context and emotional maturity. You can do a lot of kinky stuff too with hands and mouth, there we all agreed that it’s fine to have them on display.
Yeah that all makes sense. But I also can know a boy and him share a shirtless pic and it look good and not get in trouble.. but If I did the same, there could be people or can't do it as public without shame It's just a crazy line to tiptoe on haha
@altgirl14 sending a shirtless pic to a boyfriend would rarely fit in the category ‘functional non-erotic nudity’. If you’re really 14 I would advise you _not_ to send such pictures. Depending on where you live you even might get in trouble with law enforcement as well as the person who receives the shirtless pic. And even when you’re of legal age such pictures might follow you around negatively for a long time.
Well I meant like instagram or SC or something.. but yeah that also applies to it also I understand but it's still kinda a silly setup we have going on around here haha
A lot depends on context, location.
A girl or guy topless on a beach or naked at a nudist beach is not sexual.
a girl or guy topless cutting the grass is only sexual if the person doing the looking sees it as sexual.
you could have 5 people looking and only 2 view it as sexual
obviously a guy topless is more common, although here a lot of places are introducing bylaws to stop it in towns.
Short version the person doing the looking invariably makes it sexual or non sexual.
Depends on how big the boobs or pecs are is what you mean right? jk lol I get what you mean Thanks for replying <3
Actually while you joke it does come in to it. A guy with man boobs or a girl with very large sagging ones, topless is likely far less sexual in more people’s eyes
Yeah true.. I worry about this sometimes. Just gotta figure it out in the world sometimes :)

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Every culture is different. In countries that are primarily christian, jewish, or muslim, it is bordering on ridiculous as what is called sexual or nudity. Here in Japan, even the commercials on tv can have topless women in them, and sexual themes are everywhere in tv and all other media.
Yeah I always find it funny when something is very sexual like that, but then when it's nudity its so much more outrageous of an issue lol
You live in the USA which has laws intended to give more protection to youth, and that includes laws on exposure of your body. If you were at a nude resort, it would not trigger any laws about body exposure, but you would have to be there with your parents. Other than that, there are laws that apply. The laws apply even if you are alone with your boyfriend, but if both of you are young, the laws are often ignored.
When you reach 18 you can expose your body in pictures to others who are at least 18 and are okay with you doing that. In many states, you can show your body to others in person (no pictures) younger than that.
Safest thing is to be at least the age your state allows it.
Even if you are wanting to be able to remove your top just to stay cooler, you need to be careful of the laws that are often overprotective.

It's tricky. For example I always wonder why a guy's bare ass isn't considered sexual (you see it even in movies for kids) but a woman's ass is.
A century ago, when women wore long dresses ankles were considered sexual. My grandma would tell me about guys waiting on corners to see girls lifting their dresses to jump over a puddle tp see their ankles.
Sometimes I wonder if we were to start wearing gloves all the time, if pur hands would become sexual.
Yeah this is more of what I was thinking about tbh Thanks for taking the time to reply not sure what the best answer is tbh lol
Np :)
Being topless shouldn't be sexualised but it is so we just have to conform to that for now.
Thanks for the reply!
Many years ago a girl near where I live stood up to the government protesting that if guys can go bare chested in the summer she should be able to as well, she said there shouln't be anything sexual about a woman going topless. She actually got them to make it legal on our Province for women to go topless when it's hot out.
but if the temperature drops its off to jail with ya! jk haha But yeah, kinda strange there are different rules.. I would get in trouble easily doing some of the things boys do lol
If it's cold out I doubt many women would go topless. I haven't seen many women take advantage of that law.
True If it was more normal on like tv and media maybe it would be more common I dunno lol
I agree growing up nudist the body is not sexual until you make it sexual.
Nudity in general isn’t sexual to me unless I make it sexual.
No, because people are (want to be) offended by everything
Yeah sometimes I wonder if that is just the thing or not :) Thanks for replying
There's nothing wrong with nudity. Women should be able to go topless if they want. It's not sexual.
Anything about the other gender can be sexual.
or non sexual.. but I mean it's just silly what is right or wrong usually
For example people usually see nudity as very sexual just because they aren't used to it, also because they try to hide that they have sexual desires for purely societal reasons. And that makes them the opposite of what they intend, they are too sexual all the time.
Yeah. World can be crazy it seems Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
@altgirl14 Well like you said there are things like nudists that are nude for their beliefs but it isn't necessarily sexual. It's all about your intentions and the context behind it all.
I think it just depends on the culture and where you are from like some places nudity is completely normal and in other places like islamic countries even a girl's hair is considered sexual so it depends...
In fact, when the opposite sex looks sexually, then the sexual impulses are active..
It's not exactly a matter of whether or not it "should" be considered sexual, it just is. Humans evolved like that and men like boobs on the deepest level.
The way clothing evolved is probably to protect vulnerable and sensitive parts of the body and then - to prevent unnecessary arousal when it's inconvenient.
You can say that we don't need that any more and everyone can just be nude all the time, but men would still be aroused by the sight of topless women.
I don't think we need it all the time, but I'm pretty comfortable with nudity in places like beaches and entertainment areas.
It depends on the context...
It is only sexual if taken that way. I know nudist that think nothing of seeing the opposite sex naked. They don't see nude bodies as sexual. So as you say you like to see a nice chest on a guy and I like seeing a girls bare chest as well. I mean like on a nude beach. It is not sexual in any way...
Well my daughter and I are nudists, so to me nothing is sexual unless you are having sex... Including penis, vagina, tits, etc.
Are you a nudist? DM me?
Thanks for the reply!
You’re welcome! I hope you are able to explore some nudity with your father! Hopefully you both really enjoy what you see!
Back in the 1900's they thought ankles were sexy because thats all you could see with those long dresses they wore
I think nudism should be for all. Its only the human body and we all share the same bits. Why be hung up on it
Yes!
