Is this creepy or is it me? Elizabeth Hurley

Americans are extremely bizarre when it comes to nudity vs violence. As to the latter, we barely bat an eye about graphic violence on TV, but go apeshit if there’s visible side boob.
I’ve been to a bunch of all kinds of beaches in Europe. Germans in particular doff their clothes wherever/whenever. Generally, it’s just like you’d think - most people should keep their clothes on.

true- we love our violence, and love to deny that we love it

I am sure the book found a purpose. 😉. Good to use as a “tent”.

The whole thing was surreal coming from the US. Keep in mind this was 20 years ago. Things have changed since then and topless beaches are more taboo everywhere these days.

European culture is just so different. I traveled to Tahiti and French Polynesia when I graduated from Penn State. My father and I were at the resort beach and a South American family sat near us.

It was a dad, a mom and two teenage daughters. Well it took all of 30 seconds for the mom and girls to remove their tops and start oiling up. The dad didn't even bat an eyebrow during all of this. He was totally cool with is teenage daughters baring all for the resort to see.

I didn't get as much of my book read as planned that day. The trip was memorable.

Did you get the nickname "Sundial"?

Thankfully it wasn't a fully nude beach!

Same thing happened to me on a beach near Venice. Our family was set up, and an Austrian family set up next to us. Young Austrian milf popped her top and started making overtures that our kids should play. I don't want to get too graphic, but her nipples were . . . quite pointy. We still joke about Fraulein Nipples.
