Great thread, enjoy reading the various comments and perspectives. I have always wondered about this too, so I find this great conversation. As for my wife, we have had this very discussion a few times. Let me say that early on after we were first married, my wife was somewhat prudish. At first she was hesitant to remove her top in public, but once I convinced her to give it a try she now is very comfortable doing so. Since we have frequented many topless and/ or nude resorts. Her opinion was (is) that it is a comfort thing for her. She does not like being the only female on the beach or at the pool that is topless. Guess it is a "center of attention" thing for her. If other women are topless, she is perfectly comfortable with it. But to confuse me, she also says that sometimes she loves to show her body off, and enjoys the stares and attention that she gets. So go figure???? I would think being the only one would satisfy this urge in her nicely. And by the way, she is still firm and well built, so it is not an embarrassment thing about her body. All I know is that I always love it when she removes her top in front of others!
