Currently in Mallorca and hardly any topless women.
I expected a small percentage
(Maybe 10%) but it's far less.

Beachs in Torrevieja
 

Recently on holiday in Torrevieja I’d say 10% or less topless on the beach. Shame.

Didn’t bother my wife she was topless everyday and even at the pool where no one else was, she even swam and walked around without her top. No one was bothered by it.

I do think if people see others doing it they’re likely to follow suit- a few other women at the beach near us decided to take their tops off after we sat near them.

Mallorca
 

One thing I noticed, we were on the island during the storm of this week.
After the storm, much more women went topless. As if they realized they best "make the best" out of the sunny days of their holiday.

Never thought about it, but it really was a big difference. Still only maybe 10% though.

When I was in Spain last year I'd estimate that 1 in 10 sunbathed topless. I didnt look around much to make a proper scientific analysis because angry girlfriend.

Yes, I think it's a subtle set of factors in play. The same location can have a great run of spots one day, then nothing on another day. Weather is definitely a key factor: you want it sunny and still, but not so hot that people are covering up and flaking out. But there clearly are times when the right kind of people are on the beach and feel comfortable enough to push the boat out, and times when they aren't and don't.

I am right now at a beach about one hour from Barcelona. Don't know the percentage but there are a lot women topless. It's the most normal thing in the world there. Been to France before and there were much less women topless.
Advantage at cote de azur is that you get to see more fake tits, which I am absolutely into.
Yesterday at the beach.... Sitting on my towel... Looking to the right: six young women in their twenties, three of them topless.
Looking to the right, two women topless.
Lots of them go topless into the water, topless beach walk etc.
Love it.

In France , espcially at the Lavandou, there are many in July and less in August.

Has someone been in Maspalomas ? What's going on there ?

Asses
 

Women are now too busy showing off their asses in thong bikinis. It's all good.

Costa Brava from two hours ago.
Beach is full of topless women...

We need more pics as evidence.

amazing

Reasons for lack of female nudity
 

1) Camera phones, yes.
2) Naked wannabe Lotharios. They hit on every woman on the beach. Leave your woman for 10 minutes and they'll pounce. Worse, they don't seem to have a job or go to school so they hang around the beach every day..

Demographics
 

The lack of toplessness could also be due to the changing demographics in western societies.

I think I've pretty much given up on seeing many norks at the beach these days. My main driving fantasy is to see a female friends tits and for their husband to see my wife's tits at the same time. For maybe 20 years I used to think the easiest way would be to get them all on holiday together and down the beach - the missus has shown off her tits to our male friends this way before we met. Sadly I think the best way now would be to get them all drunk and somehow get them to flash us, or maybe share photos with husbands... it's sad that topless, tits out, sunbathing just is not anything other than niche these days.

How did you go about that? I mean the other bloke missing it, but you showing him pictures anyway to even it up? Did he ask? Did you volunteer? Does your wife and his wife know? I'm desperate now for this with a couple of friends and don't know how to start.

We live near Barcelona and my girlfriend still goes topless most times. We are aged 29. She does it when lots of others around are doing it. We try to go to the beach once a week in summer.

If anyone has any good beach recommendations anywhere in Spain let us know. We love a beach day.

Whrn i read this thread i also always think about barcelona where topless is kind of normal. Go to Cala senor ramon in costa brava, it's also where many of the best beachsomedotcom videos are shot

My gf agrees with this, how ladies "show off" at the beach is also strongly connected to generational fashion. For her friends going topless is something their mothers did and it was seen as a bit old fashioned but they still wanted to show off at the beach. We did notice more tops off this summer so maybe the pendulum is moving back again ;).

Maybe at the beaches..
 

... but my favorite public pool has at least one topless girl each time I go there. Last sunday I saw two 20-25 year olds, topless, sting bottoms, enjoying themselves jumping into the pool from the springboard, hanging with their hands from the 1m springboard while keeping their breast above the water. Later they just hung out and played cards.
One of them had aweseom breast, nice form, good size, the other more real "beaver tails". The third girl kept her bikini top on.

I think there is a definite fashion element to it. Clearly we are in a golden age or bare or near bare butts. Topless was never accepted in te U.S. and even less so in the past few years. (A lot of Las Vegas adult only pools that used to permit and even encourage topless are closed or are no longer topless.). Yet, bare butts are very common from younger ages to middle aged women today. 10 or 15 years ago I’d say most places would have asked these women to cover up, and today it’s fine. There are a lot of swim suits that are generally pretty modest two and one piece but the butt is out and proud for all to see. I am sure it won’t last, but it is nice now.

I think topless will probably become more common in a few years as the fashions change and the shock of cameras everywhere with the internet sharing everything wears off on younger women and they just don’t care. I doubt bare boobs will be a common as bare butts are in the U.S. today. I could see more adult only pools allowing topless making a comeback though. It would be nice to see topless return in the Dominican Republic and Caribbean. Ten years ago there were always a few ladies with their boobs out. It was not like it was in 2000, but still there. Last few years it is very rare. On the other hand, crop tops, tops with under-boob, and deeps V cuts especially in swim suits sure are flirting a lot more with ladies breasts on teasing display. I think to an extent it is a matter of time before the nipple making an appears starts to return.

If you are an ass man there is no finer time to live.

That's true. I was in Spain this summer. The Spanish ladies have the most wonderful asses, and many are topless too, the only paradise :D

I am 100% a boob man. So the current state of affairs is very upsetting to me. I went abroad twice this summer and I've seen more tits out in my neighbours garden (she has a habit of walking round with them on show) than I did on a med beach this year. I really hope you are right about the novelty of posting photos on line wears off and women start to whip their baps out on hols in the near future

Very nice photo!! Real women showing their beautiful tits.

Alright, maybe the trend is not terrible everywhere, and one only has to know where to look.

I became acquainted with a Spanish woman, maybe early 40s, who works in a biotech company in the area. As we were talking about Mediterranean beaches some days ago, she told me that a few years back she went to a week-long event that was organized in the late summer on the Greek island of Spetses. I've never been there, so I asked her how it was. She said it was a long trip to reach it, and it was crowded and expensive, though the beaches were very nice, so she found every moment to skip the boring stuff and go to the beach. Apparently, she was there with a (woman) colleague of hers, with whom they are friends, and they were together most of the time. I told her it must have been nice, but I don't like crowded beaches, and she said that the main ones were all full of people, but the two of them took a long walk and discovered a beautiful secluded cove a few kilometres from the main town of the island, which she liked because she could be topless without random guys ogling her. Our conversation wasn't at all sexual, so I just commented something general along the lines of "oh, nice", and she said yes it was, and she was all the more surprised as her friend even stripped completely and was totally nude when they were there, which shocked her because her friend is normally incredibly shy.

I have no idea about her friend, but she is kinda cute and her tits look quite big, and I would have loved to see them without any clothes on. Of course I didn't say anything of the sort, nor made any jokes or innuendos. Anyway, I have to check out this Greek island. Or maybe, toplessness (and nudity) are now simply on beaches that are more out of the way and not in the middle of crowded touristic areas.

Unlikely we'll get to a European beach this year.

Can anyone help me out by sharing some updates on the scene?

% topless, % and type of thong, any high cut or revealing at the front, % shaved if nude beach, any interesting behaviours, any slips, stuff like that!

Much appreciated.

I've just come back from Crete (early season so mostly older folks 40+) absolutely no toplessness at all. very strange

Yeah. The Dominican Republic was nearly the same. Less toplessness today than fiv or six years ago, and significantly less than a decade ago. Bare or near bare asses were really common almost the rule. Bare titties not so much.

I’m hoping to get to Crete in the near future. Any recommendations for beaches that you have would be appreciated

Been there a long time ago.

I remember a nice beach called Vai, at the easternmost end of the island. Very crowded, no full nudity, but almost every single woman was topless. Those who weren't were the rare exception.

At the time, I rented a car and just wandered around looking for nice spots. Some were crowded; the more secluded ones had just a few people at any given time. Same rule of thumb: practically every single woman was topless.

The only full nudity I remember was from a young German girl on one of these secluded beaches. I was already there, she arrived with two friends, a man and a woman. They immediately removed their clothes. The guy was in swimming trunks, the other girl was topless and the one I mentioned stripped completely. I know they were German because they were speaking German.

We were on the island of Mallorca this summer and visited a good number of beaches.
I would say that there were more topless women than I expected.
You could find a topless female on virtually every beach, but on more popular beaches the crowd would skew much younger and much fewer topless (maybe 1% or less). But the younger the crowd, the more thongs (maybe 30-40%).

With less populated/more rural beaches, the topless percentage was higher (maybe 5%), but also skewed a bit older and fewer children and fewer thongs.

On five or six beaches, we saw some nude folks. These beaches had even more topless (40-50% but kinda depends on what "area" of the beach you're at. And probably over 90% of the women were shaved.

Always hard to tell what's typical as I'm sure it depends of the time of year, temperature, day of the week and just who shows up that day. Definitely seemed like some topless women would encourage more topless women to join in.

I remember going to the Greek islands, not create, with my now wife back in 2005. Like you say the women with their tops on looked awkward and out of place. I really love to think how many of those young women in their 20s on that beach almost felt they had to get their tits out, maybe in front of male friends they'd gone on holiday with, and hadn't really thought about that before they booked the holiday. I really regret I was too dumb to book a mates holiday the next year, I would defiantly have seen some of our female friends' tits when they realised keeping their tops on was more awkward that let us see them.
I regret that fact, and the fact I never took any photos of my now wife topless with all the other tits in the background from then - I was such a dump 24 year old.

Back from Ibiza
 

Dear all,

We're just back from Ibiza where we spent 10 days. There were topless women everywhere, on every beach and in some cases full nudes too.
As far you are from city centers (Sant Antoni, Eivissa,..) you may have more topless. Even, at some beaches there where more topless women as entire swimsuits or bikinis.
Also on private beaches and hotel pools.

The only place where it was not allowed was at the O Beach pool party. My wife asked if it was possible to remove her top and the answer was no.

Also, evey age was notices, younger, elder, middle aged... and mostly they were direclty topless , wearing no bra at all. For the few wearing a top, once it was removed they don't put it on again and stayed topless all the time.

So this is a good news, but we where at early summer so things might be different in July and August

That's great news. Can I ask a few questions?

Which beaches were best for toplessness?

Was it more than 50% of women topless?

Were there any mixed groups of friends there where all the women wee topless, or was it just couples and groups of women?

We are back in Aug .
Nude is allowed but anyone will be called out unless on official beaches .
Ive seen a girl undo her string to expose the arse but within 10 minutes someone came up and said no ..... which was a shame ( pictures if interested ) . Topless no issue but further on most beaches is a nono .

Has anyone been to Hawaii recently? Is this trend true there as well?

Just back from Sunny Beach in Bulgaria yesterday. Not a single topless female did i see. Not one. Went a wander down to the small nude beach and seen a few though

That’s a sad story…, gotta say it!

Which beaches were best for toplessness? every beaches ! Cala Salada / Saladeta, Cala Bassa, Cala Comte, Es Pouet, Cala Tarida, Em Bossa, Talamanca, Cala Olivera, Cala Llonga, Cala Llenya, Cala Xarraca, Ses Salines, Es Cavallet, Fomrmentera everywhere (Ses Illetes, Pujols, Calo des Mort, Els Arenals)...

These are all the beaches we went in 10 days there...
And depedening the day, the hours, the place where you go, it's everywhere between 30 and 60 %
The most nude was Cala Escondida close to the Cala Comte, with full nudes and topless, about 80% were or nude or at least topless.

Were there any mixed groups of friends there where all the women wee topless, or was it just couples and groups of women? Yes, there were a lot of mixed groups !

Situation in the south of Fuerteventura was really bad. I can count on one hands the women I have seem topless this entire vacation of 1 week. Usually used to be a good 50% of women of all ages including 18yo. Now its a couple of old sags and thats it.
