There is not a snowballs chance in hell of me sunbathing at all, muchless topless. Skywards + sun = sunburn from hell

Never done it but wouldn't rule it out. I think it depends on where you are as well. I'd be more inclined to in the backgarden I suppose.
I'd be really worried my boobs would burn though, they're not used to the sun:)

In Europe I do, not in this side of the world though. When we go on girls holidays there's only one or two of us that don't sunbathe topless. I quite like the feel on the sun on them actually - its a bit free!

The sun in NZ is a killer, there's no ozone here so its very dangerous. I've got burned quite a few times. I went to Vanuatu (its a pacific island 3 hours flight north of NZ - go there!) on hols a few months ago and despite wearing factor 30 got fried alive. My skin is still suffering - it really brought my attention to how dangerous the sun is. I'll be a lot more careful in future, even in Europe where the sun is not as bad. If I go topless again it will be for a short period of time and with a high factor on. (actually that high factor applies to any sunbathing from now on)

I also agree with the swimming naked in the sea thing. I went topless on a hol in Greece and got in for a swim. Took my bottoms off in the water and it was fabulous.

I guess it depends how body conscious you are or how protective you are against the sun - each to their own!

Never understood it, myself.

New mother has a baby, who's a bit peckish, and most people don't bat an eyelid when mom whips out a breast and starts feeding the kid. But all of a sudden, without a kid attached, the nipples become an item of great embarassment to never see the light of day. It's not the breasts themselves, many women who would never go topless have little objections to bikinis or other such attire which emphasises/reveals the shapes. It's just the nipples, which get 'played with' on men a bit as well as on women.

How do you guys deal with co-ed showers, out of interest?

I did have my suspicions, you just can't voice them on the net without looking like a bitch =P

I do it occassionally, only in Spain though and thats cos I dont find it weird. I grew up with my mom sunbathing topless on the beach and all the Spanish women around me doing the same and going for walks along the shore with no tops on. I hate having the tan lines there

Spanish ,German some Brits and other women of various nationalites dont have a problem going topless on a beach and it's the norm for many .Even the older ones and grannys insist on getting them out .
