Helsinki Women Go Topless: No Announcement Needed
EuroWeekly News ^ | Anna Ellis

Posted on 08/29/2024 11:51:12 PM PDT by nickcarraway

As of last summer, women in Helsinki can now enjoy the beach without wearing bikini tops if they choose.

Remarkably, the city implemented this change without making an official announcement, allowing residents to discover the update on their own.

City officials explained that this approach was chosen because there had been no significant complaints regarding toplessness on the beach.

Nevertheless, there appears to be an unspoken aspect to this policy change, as the authorities have remained notably silent about their progressive move.

In Finland, public acts that cause distress to others may be considered ‘sexual immorality,’ though what precisely qualifies as such is not always straightforward.

While topless sunbathing is accepted at nudist beaches, it might still be seen as inappropriate in other public settings.

This issue reflects a somewhat ambiguous area in an otherwise progressive society, known for its sauna culture.

Broader Concerns

The change is linked to broader concerns of equality. Kerttu Hynni, head of the City of Helsinki’s recreation team, acknowledged that there had been previous inquiries about this matter.

In an interview with Helsingin Sanomat, Hynni referenced the period between 2019 and 2021 when feminist activists held topless flash mob events to push for the ban’s removal.

Helsinki has responded to these demands, aligning with the city’s commitment to equality for all residents, according to Hynni.

While this development is a positive step, the situation in other Finnish cities remains less clear.

How relevant is this? How many days per year is it even warm enough to do this? How many days does it even get to 70 degrees in Helsinki?

I would think the Muslims in their midst would interpret this as freebies.

Indeed! Helsinki's beaches are notoriously nippy!

I'm sure that looking at their exposed mammaries for more than 0.2 seconds constitutes a Class-One offense against public morals and decency.

Men sitting on the beach will hence be subject to constant video surveillance in order to monitor their compliance.

Let’s please be clear here. Bare breasts are NOT offensive. But the resulting spontaneous erections are offensive (and uncomfortable for me). It’s not the Womens fault and the problem is out of their control. Just sayin. Let’s play a game called “Who’s The Fairest Of Them All”!

“No Announcement Needed”. It announces itself just fine.

German office girls take sunny day lunch breaks topless on sidewalk benches

Women like to use “equality” only when it suits them.

Nudity is the norm in Finland.

It is a daily family ritual for everyone to be totally nude in the sauna, and then all jump into the cold water of the lake.

Everyone participates, from grandma and grandpa down to the young children.

And when I looked around the lake, everyone from all the other homes was totally nude, doing the same thing.

The same is true in most of Europe, especially the French Riviera. I’ll never forget my first time there when three beautiful young women, totally nude, approached me and asked me to take their picture. They were students at the University of Maryland, visiting Nice France for holiday. There was nothing left to the imagination.

These are not private or special beaches. It is the norm on all public beaches. Not just the beaches, but on the public transportation too.

In Monaco an old woman who sagged below her navel sat across from me on the bus. It’s easy to identify American men as they have squint lines in their suntan!

Maybe you should try wearing looser underwear. Something nice and baggy, so as to allow more "play."

A few years ago, wife and I were on a cruise ship in the Carribean. We took and excursion and had to ride a big pontoon boat with about 70 people. Right across from us, a family (presumalbly Danish) and Mom took off the daughter’s (probably 15 year old)’s bikini top. It was quite a spectacle as all of the men were trying to look away. It was cool but stressful!
