Same beach/pool and same resort. Nobody would make a fuss over a topless woman but nobody joined in either. My wife has been the first to take her’s off but she’d much rather be three or four. She noted how nobody followed her lead, and felt more comfortable on our rooms pool patio than on the beach. We have a trip planned for this spring in part to enjoy the benefits of toplessness before it does become a thing that is frowned upon. The last trip we took was mostly Americans due to COVID and no Europeans or Canadians, so that might be part of it, but only explain part. Also, the age of the average topless woman has gone steadily up. Bare asses in a thong is everywhere on everyone, but a bare boob is rare below the age of 40. Still, I think the trend is clear. Even Las Vegas has cut back on its topless pool access, so much for sin city.
I suspect the pendulum will swing the other way someday in ten or fifteen years, but not anytime soon. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

I'm afraid you are right, but if it takes 15 years it might be too late for me to care, ha. The trend of women showing their butts is interesting. It's everywhere now. We were on a boat tour in South America a while back and one young woman was wearing her thong bikini. Her butt was so curvy that the thong was hidden and she looked bare ass naked from behind (I did not complain). And of course there is the yoga pants craze. One lovely woman in the airport looked like her pants (and top) had been spray painted on. You can't not look at that. Its seems that 90% of young women (and some older ones) are showing their butts this way. It's a good trend, but I do miss the toplessness on beaches. We were at a nude beach in FL recently and some women only go topless there; other keep their entire bikini on, but showing the ass cheeks of course. That's trends for ya.
