(40,352 posts)Or 95 year old Aunty is simply overheated.
Possibly Aunty really was flashing the young men when she unbuttoned her blouse but at that age she gets a pass.
Breastfeeding in church or the Olive Garden is perfectly acceptable.
Nobody brought swimsuits? Um, what's the problem?
I think it's some sort of Scandinavians transplanted to the Wild West thing.
Maybe it's because my mom's babysitters during WWII were prostitutes with lots of sailor friends while her parents were working as welders in the shipyards. Her dad once took her backstage to meet Sally Rand. They were acquaintances somehow.
Whatever the reason, I think I missed out on the opportunity to fetishize breasts.
Yes, I like to look at people. Naked people are especially nice. But I remember as a kid bringing friends home from school and making a lot of noise in the hope that everybody would cover up. A few neighborhood kids were banned from our house. My mom would nurse babies anywhere at anytime without much covering up. My dad is an artist who draws naked people. So is one of my brothers. They often posted their work on the cork board wall of the kitchen for everyone to see.
I like being a mammal. Casual nudity doesn't shock me.
Sometimes nudity is simply funny. When I was a kid we were visiting my great grandma and my grandpa had gone skinny dipping in the canal. When he got out my great grandma's mean old rooster decided to chase him. My great grandma looked at him running down the path to the house, looked at her great grandchildren, wasn't sure if she should burst out laughing in front of us, and tried to hold it in... but it really was funny.
I'm glad I don't live in a place where naked pictures on the internet could get me killed because there are naked pictures of me on the internet. I screwed up any potential career in USA politics a long time ago with my radical Environmentalist Luddite Socialist opinions. A few naked pics in the old FBI dossier can't make anything worse.
I'm just glad MineralMan didn't interview me when I was a naked Diablo Canyon protester. Way back then I could run faster than the cops.
