Well, since I'm pretty sure it's illegal on, like, 99% of beaches, yes, it is unusual.
Have you ever gone skinny dipping?

Illegal as in "You'll get arrested"????
Oh my. Are American tourists shocked when they visit Mediterranean beaches?
It's just breasts, omg!
Probably. It would be considered public nudity. Having never once seen a topless woman on a beach, I'm not really sure what the results would be.
Good ole' America...still stuck in our Puritanical ways.
Hell, we barely tolerate breast-feeding in public.
I'm going to make a trip to the US next year. Remind me to remove any see-through tops from my bags. Who would wanna get arrested when going out?!
But carrying a gun is okay...
Only in my own pool so I guess that doesn't really count. I'm not a beach person so I can't see myself doing it in the future.
See-through is okay as long as your nipples aren't showing. It's really not boobs that are bad...but the nipples are instruments of the devil!
Uh, but then it's not really see-through.
It really depends on the style you're going for but a nice stylish top with see-through parts generally looks better without a bra. Bars and Clubs are usually pretty dark so it's not THAT noticeable.
Oh, yeah. I hear they do nasty things to babies.
Uh, but then it's not really see-through.

I don't know what to tell ya. America is scared of girl nipples.
Bra is more comfortable than no bra?
What's sad is most cultural or socio anthropologists will tell you that Western Europeans' and (especially) Americans' "fear" of breasts is a learned behavior that is propagated by this need to cover them up. Any sexual properties attributed by them are derivative of that fear. Breasts are, in fact, sexually neutral.
In a sense, we've become obsessed with them because we've forced women to cover them up. The irony here is that any pleasure a woman gets from them is gain from a psychological response to the obsession.
In societies--especially older, less developed cultures--where breasts aren't worshiped nearly as much, women receive little or no sexual pleasure form fondling (for lack of a better term).
What gets me is there is a significant portion of men (and women), such as myself, who are much more attracted to legs. Likewise, there are many women who become much more aroused when their partners message/caress their feet and legs than they do from breast fondling. Yet, for whatever reason, it's not illegal to run around in skirts, shorts, and sandals.

Could it be fear that they shoot laser-beams?

And you can thank conservative religious conditioning from childhood for the people in this country who are so paranoid about the female breast. I could go into a long, excruciatingly boring lecture on how culturally conservative Christians and other faiths have taught people to be ashamed of their bodies and associate almost everything between the neck and the kneecaps with the dirty, dirty, unholy act of sex and thus hang an emotional albatross around the necks of countless millions that will taint and damage the way they see their own bodies as well as those around them until they day they die...but I think that's painfully obvious after all these generations.
Breasts are only as sexual as other people decide to make them...no more and no less. The cultural mystique(as well as psychosexual baggage) surrounding them is an artificial construct.
Heheh, terrific! The guy he's leering at looks a little like Dick Cheney.
Anyway, I'm in the "Yes" category. A long time ago at a sleep away camp far, far away, on "night out" a bunch of us counselors went down to the lake and went skinny dipping. Co-ed. It was fun, for a while... until a buddy of mine was suddenly startled and swam like mad for the shore. "Something bit me, something bit me!!" He swore that a fish nibbled at his... "business." After that, the fun kinda fizzled out and we donned our suits. Yeah, it feels weird, kind of good, but I prefer a little "security". Kind of like wearing a seat belt when I drive.
Girls with frickin' LASER BEAMS on their boobs!
Not according to Desmond Morris.
It was considered indecent for women to bare their legs in public scarcely 100 years ago. Who knows what social mores will permit 100 years in the future? Maybe there'll be bare boobs everywhere!
Never heard the expression "skinny dipping"? I assume you're not American, then?I just had to look it up on google to see if it's some very weird thing that nobody ever does because it's weird and you have to be totally brave to do it. And I'm reading what it is and I'm like: what?
Anyway, as far as women are concerned, considering that some of today's bikinis consist of little more than eight square inches of fabric and a couple of feet of string, I figure you might as well be naked.

What SciFi-story is it, where the female face is the taboo?

Hadda go look in my physical RL archive, this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_Attraction
Boobs are good.
Anyway, have I been skinny dipping? Probably.
I lived in a fraternity house in college. I've done a lot of things I don't remember clearly....
Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off. But I mean that word does not belong on the list.
