The No Bra Phenomenon: Why We Love Going Topless! #FreeTheNipple

Last updated by Katie M.

While the one-piece jersey is coming back in force, we see the no bra trend is definitely also on the rise, and we’ve got coronavirus lockdowns to thank for that. Our boobs have never felt freer and are living their best lives under our t-shirts and layers of loungewear, but does that mean we should expose them on the beach too? In any case, long live this wind of freedom that blows gently on our boobs.

The No Bra Phenomenon: Why We Love Going Topless! #FreeTheNipple

Why I like to go topless

Going topless is becoming less and less popular and there are many good reasons for that, but let’s face it, there’s nothing better than tanning topless.

For or against toplessness?

In the 60s, being topless on the beaches of Saint-Tropez was trendy, so much so that topless tanning was almost the norm in the 80s and 90s. Now the era has changed, and we see less and less women daring to whip off their tops. From fear of being harassed or fears for one's health, we all have our reasons for keeping our breasts away from the glaring sun rays.

On the other hand, if you sunbathe on the beach, there is as much risk in exposing your breasts as there is in exposing your stomach. A good sunscreen will always do the trick. And then, we are not going to hide it, the tan marks left by swimsuits don’t exactly make for the cutest look.

Wave goodbye to your complexes!

I must have been about 20 years old the first time I went topless. In fact, I was just really fed up with seeing those two white breasts in the shower. I had always had a problem with my, mini boobs, but it was at this point that I realized that if I could share my naked body with someone, then I shouldn’t be ashamed of my anatomy. I finally stopped worrying about what other people thought of my and decided instead to give them an eye full.

Today, if I tan topless, it's not to turn on the man reading under the umbrella next to me or to avoid people ending up with unsightly white patches on my chest, no it’s because I like it. I like the feeling of freedom.

I hate wearing a bra and always have. So much so that one day at work, I had to go to the bathroom to take it off because it was making me so uncomfortable. It was so sore, and yet it fit me well. So, when I top it off, I felt good and free and on the beach it's the same. I like the feeling of not being hindered. Not having a knot putting pressure on my neck, a strap that goes into my shoulder or a wire in the ribs. And above all, I’ve learned to love my breasts, just as they are.

>>>> How can I learn to accept my body and love myself?

In toplessness, I believe and adhere

Yes, when I'm topless on the beach, I feel very womanly. A mini Femen, but still! No one seems to be offended by the fact that men put their entire torso on show, nipples included, whether they are hairy, fat, skeletal or very muscular. So, I, as a topless woman, want to say no to the patriarchy and its demands. I now decide to refuse to hide my body and my supposed sexuality.

Of course, my idealistic thoughts are often shattered when I’m confronted by unwanted stares, but after all, whether we are on the beach, in the subway or in the street, the glances are always there, the thoughts and insults too. Street harassment exists no matter how we dress.

Boobs just aren’t (that) erotic...

If I like being naked so much, then why aren’t I a nudist? Quite simply because I distinguish boobs and genitals. I have absolutely nothing against nudists, but I could never tan naked because I place my vagina is an intimate realm, and my breasts aren’t.

Anyway, the problem is not really our boobs. They are exposed everywhere, all the time, on social media, in magazines... no, the issue is the nipple and more particularly the female nipple, which is unfair and sexist! Why does a woman’s nipple have to be portrayed as a sexual object?

Topless

This summer again, I will go topless on the beach, it will be my little revolutionary act and my way to re-appropriate my body. After all, no one is better placed than me to tell me where my complexes and modesty should lie.

Why are Gen Z not wearing bras?

In recent years, there has been a trend among some young people, or Gen Z as they’re known, to stop wearing bras on a regular basis. This trend may be influenced by several factors:

  • Comfort: Some people, particularly young women, find that not wearing a bra is more comfortable. Bras can sometimes be perceived as constricting, restrictive or uncomfortable, so some people prefer to do without this accessory for a sense of freedom and well-being.

  • Autonomy and empowerment: For some young women, not wearing a bra can be a way of asserting themselves, reclaiming their autonomy, and challenging societal expectations of appearance and conformity. It can be seen as an act of empowerment and personal choice.

  • Evolving beauty standards: Beauty standards evolve over time and can influence young people's behavior. In recent years, there has been greater acceptance of body diversity and a questioning of traditional beauty standards. Not wearing a bra can be seen as a way of celebrating the naturalness of the body and feeling good about oneself.

  • Influence of social movements: Feminist and body liberation movements have played an important role in challenging the expectations imposed on women in terms of appearance and clothing. Some movements have encouraged the rejection of oppressive norms and clothing deemed uncomfortable or restrictive, including bras.

Editor's note – Shirtless everywhere!

Like the Femen, a woman with her breasts exposed in public can be condemned. However, at the beach, being topless is still tolerated yet at the same time, many seaside towns also prohibit men from walking shirtless, away from the beach.

🤗 Understand yourself, accept yourself, and be happy... Let’s do it here and now

We hear so much about these emotional abusers in every walk of life that we are sometimes so overloaded with information regarding them, meaning we often miss the red flags that, in hindsight, seem blatantly obvious. These vindictive manipulators often use smear campaigns as a way of getting back at their victims and villainizing them publicly.

Narcissistic abuse is one of the most horrific challenges anyone can ever go through in life, but that’s not to say that their reign of terror will last forever.

What Happens When A Narcissists Loses Control? These 10 Things...

Female Covert Narcissists

It’s time to set the record straight, although male narcissists typically get a lot of flack, yet, female covert narcissists are just, if not even more dangerous than the guys.

The 10 Weak Points Of A Narcissist Revealed

Each one of us has our own weaknesses that hold us back in life; be it at work or in relationships. However, on a more positive note, most of us have the will to work on them and transform them.

10 Weird Things Narcissists Do Sexually - Romance Is Dead

As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. 🙈 Discover the weird things narcissists do in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.

What Is Candaulism?

Now, many of you are no doubt scratching your head wondering what candaulism means, but some of you must already know by now, and that would explain the recent spike in Google searches for the term. Candaulism is in fact a sexual practice in which a man exposes his female partner or photos of her, to other consenting people. This particular fantasy is therefore associated with exhibitionism.
