I've just done an interesting (to me anyway) little exercise. I've gone through my wife's old photo albums and photos I have and searched for just standard beach shots from Spain, mainly ibiza. The photos had to be of a busy beach in the middle of the day (there really are s lot of photos of sinsets!) That search wasn't that productive so I they trawled flikr for people's holiday snaps from ibiza and whatever busy mainland resorts I could think to search for. All the photos however had to be taken between 1998 and 2003.
I then counted up how many women in the background there were, and how many if them were topless. Then I added up the numbers.
I made sure I didn't include any obviously staged topless shots of people's girlfriends or wives, and i tried to not include any obvious voyeur shots. Just what looked like genuine holiday snaps with women accidentally being snapped topless in the background.
Across all the photos I found that 46% of the women across all the beaches were topless. And that just included the ones topless at the moment the photo was taken. I also included women up walking around, or perhaps just arriving or leaving, of which many more were covered up. How many of these got their norks out when they lay down?.
I need a time machine to go back then! Most women 20 years ago were happy it seems to show off their tits on a Spanish beach. I'm just glad some of these moments have be preserved for posterity.
