I live near Munich. Yes, Germans are pretty relaxed about nudity. Even I thought I was relaxed about it, often sunning topless (female, soon 30). But recently a law was passed stating that you only need to cover your primary sex organs, eg. in public places like streets, lakes, public pools, forests and so on. In other words, even females of ALL ages can walk around topless. Which I don’t mind for adults.

But.

Today I had the rather confusing experience of having four girls next to me at the lake, obviously minors but still pretty well endowed, and besides swimming and sitting in the sun they rode their bikes, played ball, hugged and kissed their boy friends and most people starred at them. Because they were topless.

Is it just me who has a problem to watch minors tits bouncing all around her in broad public?

Is that morally rotten or just very open?

Is that even a legal interpretation of the law?

PS, this topic got deleted on EVERY Reddit channel I asked for opinions.

    I dunno, I’m not of the mind that it matters.

    Breasts are sexualized partly because they’re hidden. You don’t run into as much obsession around them from nudists, and nudist dedicated spaces don’t have any more issues than anywhere else with harassment of minors that are present.

    Even genitals cease to be automatically sexualized with enough exposure (play on words intended). I started work as a nurse’s assistant during high school. A few weeks in, and the shock value of seeing people naked was gone. The shock value of stuffing boobs into a bra, or pulling back the foreskin to clean up a patient didn’t take much longer. And, it is very difficult to stuff boobs into bras with gloves on for the patient, so most of them would get pissy about them.

    By the time I could vote, nudity had ceased to be sexual by default for me. To the point that a graduation party featuring skinny dipping left me without an erection until someone approached me in a sexual manner.

    And, it isn’t like all my patients were elderly, or unattractive. And there were boobs galore at that pool party. Dozens of pairs of 16-18 year old boobs.

    If enough young ladies take part in toplessness, more and more people will treat it the same as they do young gentlemen.

    In other words, you gotta let go of the idea of boobs being sexual by default.
