Ask The Slut: Are Exposed Breasts Less Exciting?
Filed under: Ask The Slut - May 29, 2007 @ 8:17 am
Dear Slut,
I am aware that people from other countries ridicule us Americans for being too prudish and making, for instance, the Super Bowl nipple incident into big news. Doesn’t the taboo that we associate with titillation increase the excitement that we experience with all things sexual (and especially kinky sex)?
I know that I am sincerely excited when my lady friend wears a low-cut blouse and bends over to climb into our tent–wouldn’t that excitement be diminished if women were topless all the time? I am thinking of the European concept of the exposed breast as being less taboo than it is in America–doesn’t that mean that their excitement at a downblouse moment is lessened?
I’m also curious to know how aware women are of exposing their breasts while wearing low-cut blouses. Are they TRYING to drive us crazy, or are they simply dressing for the warm weather and giving us a show by happy coincidence?

Dear man with good taste,
First of all, you might want to take a look at the website where I scored the pic above - The Cleavage Blog. Hot.
I don’t think seeing breasts more often decreases the thrill one gets when seeing a woman in a low-cut blouse. If anything, it makes the moment a happier, healthier experience. But you might want to test this out yourself.
Since I happen to know that you’re a footloose and fancy professor off for the summer, I suggest you spend a week at a European beach surrounded by well-oiled topless people of all genders, shapes, and sizes.
Then, hang out at an outdoor cafe where beautiful women in tank tops sip wine and laugh and let their straps slip off their golden shoulders and see if your erotic senses have been dulled.
Or alternatively, I can come stay at your house for a week topless and see if you get bored with boobs (I’ll need internet access.)
OR we can go to Europe together and combine the options. I doubt you’ll be yawning, especially as we check out the hot chicks together.
(Oh, and yes women know they’re driving you crazy when they show off flesh or go braless, but chances are, they care more about their comfort than your sanity.)

Bravo, TBK!!! Excellent answer.
I agree that Europe offers a much more erotic and less prudish environment. Erotic billboards, mini skirts, gorgeous women showing lots of skin … it seems to work. My ex-husband, who visited twice, improved his sexual performance quite significantly while we were there. Unfortunately, that didn’t last after our return to the U.S.
And there is an undercurrent of shame to all this. The first time I visited an American gynecologist and had to don a hospital gown, I thought, “These people are ridiculous. They’re going to see my vagina anyway; what’s this coverup for?” It only made the whole examination feel more unnatural and uncomfortable.
Ugh, over the years I’ve embraced some more prudish norms, but I still change in my car and avoid bras.

Wow lolita…is it true that anyone can improve their sexual performance quite significantly just by walking the earth of Europe? Magnifique!!!

Try it yourself, rtist. Doesn’t take any walking (you probably prefer to drive, right?). All it takes is watching the women, listening to sex talk, smelling the perfume in the air… Unless you think you’re already bed-talented beyond belief.

I prefer to have someone do the driving for me lolita.

Well, that would be a good argument for using the European public transportation system — if you go visit. Save the Earth while sharing your personal space with scantily dressed foreign women.

I’m afraid rtists933 might be way too intimidated by the uncut and superiourly sexually satisfying men to visit Europe.
p.s. I can vouch for lolita’s car changing abilities- she and I went jogging last summer and planned to eat dinner afterwards. She said, “why bother with the inconvenience of stopping at home or changing at the restaurant?” so i dutifully changed in my car at the trail parking lot. needless to say it took me a whole 5 minutes longer because i was nowhere near as skilled.

Moonbeam, you’re so sweet:)
European men might be sexually superior on average, but it doesn’t apply across the board. I just found an exception!!! May be it’s the Cherokee blood that makes a difference. You have to meet him. I haven’t called you (sorry!) since I got back because I’ve been so busy.

didn’t I show you the cleavage blog? I take full credit, no matter what you say!
Sadly, I only found the I Hate Crocs blog the other day, through other sources. You beat me to that one.
