It seems like there are many women who are comfortable wearing very minimal tops on the beach.
However, while being topless is legal for women at New York state parks and beaches and on the beach in Miami, very few are.
Can someone explain why women are reluctant to remove just a few square inches of cloth covering part of their breasts?

    Yes it does, its a bug, did we need to clarify which state Miami is in ?
    Back on point, in Europe toplessness is widely practiced, as is nudity, but I guess some women simply feel uncomfortable being sexualised ?

    Despite thongs becoming so common where I am now, the only publicly-exposed breast I've been aware of is a Mother feeding her infant at the beach this morning.

    The only one I saw on a man was when I looked down. 98% boardshorts or wetsuits, an occasional brief.

Anyway, it seems odd to me that woman dont go topless in the US when they do so freely in Europe. I wonder why this is ?

There was a proposal a few years ago to permit topless sunbathing on a lightly used portion of the beach in Asbury Park, NJ. A group of residents came to a council meeting to protest against the proposal and it was dropped.

    Seems amazing that there would be objections to boobs being seen on the beach, especially given they are on TV, in movies and the availability online. Maybe the locals are concerned about the unsavoury types who may hang around to perv.

    Topless women seen on the beaches here in Oz seems to ebb and flow. Saw lots again a few years ago but not so much last year, maybe it is where I go. Young women were coming in groups to Pt Addis where I sometimes go and once away from the family area, they would be topless in a group, I guess safety in numbers is the reasoning. A few would venture further along to the older CO section and be topless, some would get nude. I was hoping this was a sign that nudity was getting popular again, but it tapered off. We will see this summer.

    This question was posed in the ladies room by a man.

    As usual, its all us men who are sharing opinions, In the ladies forum.

    As we will never get a womans opinion on the question, I suggest we ask the original poster to answer the question as he probably knows better than most.

    So why wont your wife go topless on the beach?

    Whatever her answer is, just generalise it to all women everywhere.

I was hoping to get some of these women to post, but none have.

    Where else should one pose a question about topless sunbathing?
    Yes its unfortunate women wont answer what seems reasonable question, maybe for the same reasons they wont topless sunbathe?
    There arent many women on TN because of over zealous sexualisation?
    I can only speak for my partner who, does sunbathe topless with her gfs and me but feels less comfortable on her own. She very rarely goes out braless even though she has small breasts because of the unwanted attention her nipples attract. So why dont women sunbathe topless? Seems an obvious answer to me..?
    Anyway, appears wrong by some that we men are discussing this

Anywhere else. This is a woman's forum. If they don't want to entertain you, leave them alone. Maybe on a men's forum the question could be posed "How could we make this a more hospitable place for females?" We could start by leaving their forum alone.[/quote] I agree that in general men shouldn't start a thread in the Ladies Room. However since I was specifically looking for women's opinions I thought that this was the best place to ask.
