A MOTHER who went on holiday with her teenage sons and husband has expressed her anger at women sunbathing topless on the family beach.
Mom is furious after beachgoers “with no sense of right or wrong ruined” her family trip to a non-nudist beach.
She took it to online forum Mumsnet to ask if she was being irrational about her thoughts about other women sunbathing topless.
The mother, who is anonymous, revealed to other users that she really didn’t “want to see tits on the beach.”
She went on to to write: “I’m on vacation this month and I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen topless women sunbathing on the beach… next for children!…on non-nudist beaches!
“I really don’t want to see tits in the middle of the day.”
She then explained what made it even worse for her.
The mom said, “Plus, I don’t like my teenage kids or even my DH (dear husband) checking them out.
“It’s obvious that they come from certain European countries! Do they have no idea what is right or wrong?”
The post attracted a lot of attention, with many disagreeing with the mother.
One commented: “Are there any topless men on this beach? Or is it just women you oppose?
Another added: “They’re just boobs. I bet there are men on the beach with bigger breasts than some women.”
A third gave a detailed answer about how the mother can handle this situation, writing: “It’s literally just breasts, no need for drama. You can choose not to look if they bother you.
“You can also use this as an opportunity to teach your children 1) not to lust after women and 2) that different parts of the world have different customs and attitudes toward nudity.

“If this offends you, it is your responsibility to travel only to places where the prevailing attitude is in line with yours, rather than making sweeping and critical statements about people who behave in accordance with the customs of the country in which they find themselves. ”
While someone else said: “You don’t need to look. After all, it’s just another part of the body.
“I don’t sunbathe topless and I think it’s polite to wear a bikini or a t-shirt when I walk around, but lying down minding my own business… it’s not a problem at all.
“I don’t think it’s a question of what’s right or wrong!”
What are the laws on topless sunbathing?
The Crown Prosecution Service states: “In the case of naturism, a balance needs to be struck between the naturist’s right to freedom of expression and the right of the general public to be protected from harassment, alarm and distress.”
British Naturism said: “There is no law against being naked in public, so stripping off and enjoying the sun on your skin in your own garden cannot get you arrested nor can your neighbors force you to cover up. .
“Being friendly might mean you tell your neighbors you plan to sunbathe naked, but there’s no obligation to do so, so don’t hesitate.
“Studies show that spending time naked is good for you, so we encourage everyone to enjoy the wonderful weather and celebrate your uniqueness.”
Surrey Police have previously suggested sunbathing in a part of the garden that cannot be seen.
The law is clear that a crime is only possible if the naked person intends to cause alarm or distress.
And another wrote: “It might be good for your teens to understand that breasts are just another part of the body and are not there for sexual arousal.”
The mom continued to defend herself in the comments section, writing, “How can I not look? They are not far from me! There aren’t many idiots on the streets, why are they there on the beach?
“It’s not a nudist beach. There are dozens of families around. How is this normal?
