I agree with #3. I think a more European outlook on the whole nudity thing would do a lot of Americans good. It wont happen, but I don't care... I'll just move to France.

Americans are prudes - purge your dogmatic minds of all that 'nudity' shame' crap, and join the new world.

Falwell is finally dead, so nothing left to worry about! See him waving at you from hell?

Well that's just nuts...literally.

Fashion-wise, I'd call this minimalist approach very alluring. From the straight male perspective I'd say this is one of the hottest things I've ever seen. I'm totally buying one for my girlfriend.

Uh, comment 11... You sound like you need a workout. Stop ripping on how people like to dress and stare in the mirror for a while.

The wearers do seem to be looking for attention, which is understandable. But IMHO, regular bikinis are much more tantalizing. If you want to show off your vagina, go for it!

I was actually surprised at the degree to which women are accepting these very tiny (and often very transparent) styles. The most extreme ones are so small that the tops do not cover all of the areoli, and the bottoms fail to cover the labia.

I expected a subsegment of the population to wear them, and a larger group of women to look enviously at those wearing them, wishing they had the guts to do it (while of course saying nasty things about the women who had the guts to do what they honestly want to).

I think a part of the reason for the rapidly increasing popularity of extremely revealing swimwear is a desire to break away from the amazing amounts of societal conservative extremism, which so many western countries (most expecialy the US) have embraced lately...ideas that are totally at odds with the majority of their populations. With all this nonsense being pushed down peoples throats (with accompanying bible thumping) something was bound to give as a stress reliever, and a way for the majority to distance themselves from a minority that they do not like (and didn't like the last time that they took over the country).

People are, quite simply, tired of being told which things it is acceptable to do, most especially with their own bodies. I have never understood why people feel it is necessary to have laws against nudity. GO back 1000 years, and the very Christian Holy Roman Empire was full of social nudity. Even the fashions of the 1800s were extreme by our standards (over 300 years of exposed aeroli as the norm in fashion for adult women past courting age).

In most of the world (including where I live) going topless at a public beach means nothing (and I do not mean a nude beach). These new itly bity suits give people a reason to bother to be in good physical shape. Skeletons don't look good in a bikini and neither do the morbidly obese. We need something to get people to eat real food instead of junk, and treat it as fuel for heir bodies instead of as "comfort".

I thin these tiny suits are a cute way to get around the laws against nudity, while at the same time adding a bit of extra decoration to the body. If your natural body shape looks at all nice in one (and that does not require anorexia...curves are very nice)...go for it. Remember, clothes were invented for protection from the elements (I like wearing shoes to protect my feet), and also for decorating the body...to enhance its beauty, not to cover it all up from neck to toes, and not as a way of forcing people into conformity.

Frankly I think another reason for these ultra low and narrow (and see through) designs, is that women are

1) finally strong in western society enough to be willing to take a chance; celebrating the fact they their bodies are beautiful and that skin is normal (not evil)

2) I think that women don't want to do through all that waxng without a chance to show it off, and I don't blme them one bit. It hurts like hell to get waxed, so wy not show off as much silk skin as you can?

A huge percentage of women ih the west now get regular bikini waxes (or have had permanent removal) - more and more going for total pubic, leg and underarm hair removal. Frankly, once a woman has had their period while totally bare they don't want to go back. It is far cleaner, way more sanitary in general...and yes, sex tends to feel a great deal better.

These days the cost of permanent SIPL hair removal, costs far less than a years worth of equivalent wax jobs (even home wax jobs unless you make your own sugaring candy from scratch). AND - that means no more rapid leg shaving before work (with nasty ingrown hairs), no last minute trimming of stray "bush" hairs so that you can wear that new bikini or that cute low riding micro-mini skirt, and no more funny "fluff pad" bump pushing up the crotch on your tights, leotards, etc.

Oh yes...and SIPL doesn't make people scream.

SIPL is available in the nearest city to me for $99 for a xxx. That is the cost of 3 xxx wax jobs without the nasty pain. Two visits for cheep touch ups and you are hair free for up to 10 years.

Some men (who have no desire to EVER have a beard) are getting it done to their faces, so that they can stop spending so much time shaving.

a thing normal for mellenia outwide of t(or have permentent hair reduction)...more and more all the time, and a growing number
