Tan lines and ladies

After the first two-week part of my holidays, spent mostly in nudist locations, I happen to have a nice overall tan. I'm likely more tanned than ever, which is probably not a good thing actually, but to me it looks nice. My face is a little bit whiter as I protected it better but in general I like what I see in the full-size mirror in my entrance hall.

Last Sunday in Sinsheim I only saw one lady who was tanner than me, probably the same age but with a lot of body improvements so not sure whether her tan came from the sun or a cabin. Which is of course beyond the point.

Now, I had the impression that my body attracted a lot of attention. This may of course be only in my mind but I know that I have the tendency to look longer at fully tanned young ladies. Well I do have the tendency to look longer at attractive young ladies than at unattractive older ones in general, but this too could be the subject of another topic. And this is of course not a sexual thing, I believe that I am mostly (say 75%) hetero. I just think that a fully tanned body looks nicer than the same body with strong tan marks. More natural, more fluid, more athletic.

That, without even mentioning the difficulty to hide tan lines in nice evening dresses. Which is why I normally try to not have them, at least on the upper body - going topless whenever possible or at least wearing a tiny top and unstrap it when turning face down.

So all over tan is natural and pleasing to the eye. What about tan lines? Now you, as good nudists, will jump to say that tan lines suck big time. Now do they really? Aren't those small triangles of white skin sexy on a woman? Scarcity creates value so when you see those lovely lady bits which most guys on the beach were not lucky enough to see? Don't they attract your attention like a magnet? Logic says they should. And tan lines may signal a newbie and aren't you all interested when a shy newbie accepts for the first time to reveal her hidden charms? We even had a joke that in chicken and women the best bits are the white ones (in French, chicken breast is referred to as "chicken white").

Last but one winter we spent two weeks in Dubai so I came back with very marked tan lines on both my top and my bottom and I had the impression that in Sinsheim I attracted a lot of attention too. I mention Sinsheim because it's a young crowd there, there is alcohol, partying (a bit of a pick up place too) so people are more likely to look longer and bolder at each other.

And generally, we alternate in choosing holiday places. D mostly chooses nudist ones, I mostly choose textiles ones - not because I have something against social nudity, on the contrary, but let's be fair, most nice places in this world are textiles. And when I'm back and I take it all off to reveal those which patches people seem to be quite interested.

I know several non nudists who say tan lines are sexy. And I think on girls they are. I prefer the overall tan both for me and for other ladies but what about sexy? I'm also a bit more reluctant to take it all off when I am wearing them, so I probably act more like a shy newbie, which most guys find irrestible. Come on guys, you do. See that sexy girl who comes on the clothing optional beach you are on, clearly shy, reluctant, hesitant, and then takes her courage in both hands, breathes in deeply and reveals to the world those white treasures which few men have seen before? Yes, you will be mezmerised.

But enough about me. What about you? How do you find white tan marks on a nice woman's body? Sorry, not interested in talking tan lines on men her eOn a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is disgusting and 10 is "very sexy", where are you?

I'm struggling to answer coherently as I think I genuinely enjoy both. 100% is always a statement of confidence of being nude consistently, but tan lines that reveal less-frequently exposed skin arr also nice. Perhaps it is the artful side where strong definition of lines, a good contrast between tanned an not, and a line that is obviously from a skimpy suit are the aspects that contribute to a great set of lines - they are unlikely to be an accident unless they come from the one long session in the sun.

As for age, I think that while a youthful body has a natural aesthetic advantage, a well-maintained body of any age draws admiration from me, up to and including well-advanced years.

So which is more sexy? Hard to decide - a good example of either is a delightful sight.

And, despite your qualifier, I don't see any difference from men to women. Obviously a boardshort tanline wins no aesthetic points, but a nice masculine Brazilian tankine can certainly catch my attention, and when I've had my own lines in my textile past I've striven to keep the pale bits daringly small!
