Is it legal to sunbathe topless in Florida?

Post by Sixshot »

Just checking if I will be arrested or not. I can't find anything about it on Google and know there are a couple of people here who live in Florida. Do boobies come out on the beach?

It's a really common thing in Europe and I don't think anyone thinks twice about it, but I've been to Clearwater and Miami beach and I don't recall seeing topless girls. What about by the pool of your hotel/motel? Again, it's fine in Europe, but what do Americans think about it? Is some jumped-up father going to call the police because his kids are victims of my indecent exposure?

I know this might sound a pointless question to some, but minimal tan lines are very important to me. :(

No, unfortunatly on most beaches in America, topless sunbathing is illegal and considered Indecent Exposure. We are such prudes.:(

It's illegal/looked down upon most everywhere unless you're at a primarily college age town/spring break situation, in which case nudity is rampant.

However, since spring break was 3-4 weeks ago you're out of luck.

This topic is gonna get so many views...

In Australia you have beaches that are 'set zones' were people can go nude. Male and Female. They're usually in areas that are sucluded and not easy to get to. For reasons, sometimes the area has barbwire around it as well, with only one entry in and out.

I believe Playalinda Beach was the only topless beach in Florida, but it may be off-limits even there now. It was a nude beach anyway, so you probably didn't want to go there, considering you'd likely see fat naked retirees. Ugh.

Otherwise, you're out of luck on the topless thing. Guess you'll have to go to a tanning booth to lose the lines, but that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Why are we so anti boobie in America? Boobies are the greatest invention ever, they both serve a purpose and are pleasing. I want a refund on my life for all the free boobies that Europeans get!:mad:

Sixy, not only is it not illegal to be topless on the beach, but you infact, can be topless where ever and whenever you want. So, what you're going to do is, while you're sunbathing in flordia, takes lots and lots of pictures, then e-mail me them

I would like profile shots as well as close-ups. Also pants/underware are optional.

Remember the US is a nation which went into uproar over a nipple on TV (apparently, the lyrics were far more offensive than the cleavage)... John Lydon calls the cast of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here a bunch of "f*cking c*nts" and viewer complaints in the UK are in double-digits...

Prudes will, of course, merely suggest that the UK is in moral decline.

Jen ,I'm sure in florida there are a number of nudist places where you can take your top off. Though they appear cultish in the US.

Meanwhile when are you gonna return to London. I barely caught up with many people the last few meet up's and feel like an asshole now I'm not studying and have the time.


P.S: I'm in Southamption on the weekend of the 22nd may, visiting a mate doing a PhD in 'fruit trees' (I'm not kidding, It's not the actural title but thats what it is) . Could meet up if your out down there then to celebrate Porthsmouth staying up and Arsenal winning the league :) :afro: :cool:

Brits > Americans. ;) (with individual exceptions, of course)


On a side note, in Germany, there was an uproar because goldfish died during the production of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. (You won't see an uproar about "OMG, a nipple!" in Germany - we have mags with naked tits on the cover openly on display at the newsstands.)

Anyway, the most interesting (in the sense of "different") comment I've seen on the Jackson-nipple issue was from someone who said that Janet's nipple as such didn't offend her, but Justin Timberlake ripping her top off did. Because (paraphrasing from memory) it could be seen as a symbolic glorification of rape (well, glorification of ripping clothes off, but the symbolic connection is there).

(Not saying that ripping clothes off can't be consensual and fun (if it's consensual and the clothes weren't expensive). But that's another subject.)

She was wearing a bondage top with very convenient nipple jewellery... I assume this person didn't stop to think for a second about the stunt being pre-planned...

People were bothered about the fish here, too.

Yeah, the Jackson stunt was obviously pre-planned and (therefore) consensual.
