Until then, I will privately celebrate my nipples for all they will (hopefully) be able to do for my impending addition and graciously forgive them for causing me pain every time I move or put clothes on.No matter your kink or your sexuality, surfing will surely grant you a wonderful time. With things rapidly evolving when it comes to equality and sexuality, there is a chance that we could see some positive change where this frustrating double standard is concerned. Funny, isn’t it, how the platform just can’t seem to block all of the accounts spreading misinformation, but they can whip down a nip in record time. I’d argue that the anti-vaxx sentiments and COVID conspiracy theories that run rampant on Instagram are far more dangerous to everyone than the sight of any woman owning her sexuality, breastfeeding her child or going topless because she wants to. Why is the insinuation of graphic sex okay but the visibility of just one small part of a woman’s body, shown in a totally non-sexual way, the end of the world? Maybe some young men never outgrow those early memories of desire when the sight of what’s underneath a bra was seen as X-rated.īut why are we at the point where showing a nipple or two is categorised as the height of scandal? Especially when it comes to social media where far more sexually suggestive content is freely shared. It’s dipping your toe into adulthood while keeping one foot firmly planted in innocence.įor young boys, the knowledge that they are likely to see some breasts long before they are ever permitted to engage in intercourse or other genital stimulation probably makes boobs a hotter commodity because they are more within reach. What comes to mind is that, for many young women who are starting to develop more intimate relationships with the opposite sex, our breasts can be the first thing we feel comfortable showing or having touched as we start to find ourselves sexually. How does the nipple go from being something that is used (for those who can and who want to go that route) for merely sustaining them to being the thing they would sell their right arm to see? Some of the ideas around nipples surely get planted in boys at a young age and I’m so curious to know how and why.
If she then had breast enhancement surgery and showed her nipples, people would likely object, because those nipples would now be attached to breasts, therefore vilifying the same action when carried out by one person at different stages of their journey. If a trans woman were to show her top half on social media, prior to having any kind of surgery (if that was the path she was choosing and able to take) would it be a problem? Likely not, which would then lead one to believe that it was because her nipples were still seen as “male” therefore invalidating her gender identity. The ideals around nipples and their taboo factor also alienate members of the transgender community. The #FreeTheNipple campaign, started by Hebron and run across social media a few years ago, further exposed the hypocrisy of the situation, with the artist encouraging women to pose topless and then photoshop male nipples onto their photos in order to make their “provocative” posts more Insta-friendly.

Men can let their nips flap free in the wind though, presumably because no one finds them arousing and even if women did, they typically can keep their s**t together about it. Chances are, there were people who had opinions about that and made them known.īecause a woman’s nipple is seen as being something that arouses men and because, apparently, it is women’s fault that some men can’t control their sexual desires, women are forced to tuck their nipples away in public, lest they attract unwanted attention and spark moral outrage. If people don’t like to see the “sexual” side of nipples, they sure as hell don’t like seeing the functional side of them either - ask any mother who has posted a pic of her breastfeeding her child. I’m not entirely sure why they are sexualised when they are such utilitarian additions to the bodies of those who choose to become parents and who choose and are able to breastfeed. Now, I am in possession of two of the scandalous body parts myself and, until falling pregnant and them starting to hurt all the damn time, I have never really paid them much attention. I just wonder why it is considered such a lewd act for women to do the same thing.

Since then, men have happily showed off their abs, dad bods, beer bellies, six-packs, jungles of hair or baby smooth skin with abandon and, hey, I am not exactly complaining about that.
Until the 1930s, both men and women were banned from taking their tops off in public, but then men campaigned for and won, the right to sunbathe naked from the waist up.
