Guess what? Men don't mind seeing naked women...

ROME (Reuters) - Most Italians think nude sunbathing is perfectly natural and don't mind crossing paths with bottomless beach-goers -- even when those bottoms are unsightly, survey results released Sunday said.

While topless sunbathing is widely practiced in Italy, bottoms are usually required and nudists can face fines of more than 500 euros ($595) on some beaches, the Italian Naturalist Federation said.

But the federation said a poll it commissioned from a mainstream media outlet found nearly 70 percent of those surveyed said they would sunbath nude if everyone else did it. More than 80 percent said nudism was not erotic, but natural.

Women were more frequently bothered by nude sunbathing than men. Just over 40 percent of women said they did not like seeing other naked females on the beach, while just 5 percent of men shared their opinion about nude women.

The survey found nearly two-thirds of men said they weren't bothered by nude male sunbathers.

When it came to unattractive or "brutto" sunbathers, most of those surveyed in the country that champions physical beauty said they didn't object to seeing them naked either.

Only about 16 percent said they were vexed by unattractive women nudists and 9.7 percent objected to unsightly men.

The Federation said the survey would bolster their hopes of getting more beaches set aside for nude sunbathing.

That's an ironic tagline, I feel compelled to tell you, because surely you mean the Altar of Speed™.

I actually wrote that in a post once, and it was too deliciously ironic. So now, it is with my full intent, but it makes the point even better!

Maybe he should team up w/OJ!

Most mean look best with at least shorts on....

Usually.

OK,
Most of the time.

And many need shirts too.

LOL


I believe it. :OD

No, thanks. I really don't want to have to put my eyes out.

"And many need shirts too."

Yep, just like the guy (Uncle Teddy) in post # 55! UGH!

[HEY4QDEMS]

Putting your eyes out will not un-see the horror.

see he does need a seat belt extender for his shorts!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The sad thing is it's straight guys that usually complain. Gay guys either don't care or really like it usually. The even sadder thing is that my opposition is based not on morality but aesthetics. It's never good looking women who seem to have the urge to be naked.

That depends 100%, entirely, completely, totally, and without a shadow of a doubt on what the woman looks like "not naked".

I'd guess it's pretty much the same with gals, yes?

I would hate to see Hillary! The effect would likely be similar to viewing the Medusa...i.e. being changed to stone.

More likely jello, in this case! ;-P

Indeed...

How very French of "Breast Not Bombs" lady. I wonder if that was the same moonbat Medved was interviewing last week. Melissa Glazer or something like that

Why is it ugly chicks are the ones that want to be naked?

LOLOLOL! In the Caribbean, my husband was pretty excited about the idea of going to a topless beach. His excitement was pretty short-lived after he looked around at the women who'd gone au naturel. Finally, he asked in disgust "How come the only ones who take their tops off are the ones you'd PAY to have them keep their tops on?" My observation was that some people NEED those swimming suits, tops or bottoms, to hold stuff in the general vicinity of where it was supposed to be, LOL!
