I think you do.

Well, I suppose that they can be technically called sexual organs if you grope them during sex.

adjective
1. of, relating to, or for sex :
sexual matters; sexual aids.
2. occurring between or involving the sexes :
sexual relations.

1. Breasts are used in sex.
2. Breasts involve the sexes... in women, they lactate and are usually larger.

So yes, Breasts are sexual organs. Admit it.

Is Skin a sexual organ?

[Confederate Ramenia]

Can you give any reason why your personal desires should infringe on other people who don't feel the same?

Can you give any reason why a bill shouldn't be voted on by the public?

Let the majority decide if it should be legal or not.

This. It's too harmless to be a straight ban, and too opposed/immoral to be straight legal. It needs to be left to individual communities to decide.

[Lancaster of Wessex]

No worries.

And to the poster who said 20% of the female population would go topless if they could, I call BS. It's legal here in Canada, and I've never seen it. Ever.

That's because most of the year, you'd get frostbitten nipples.

*applaud* Still never seen it, even in 40C heat. Yes. It can get that hot here.

Breasts aren't naturally involved in sex.

They've become a sexual organ.

I already did say they are technically a sexual organ.

[Excidium Planetis]

No, we ban guns because some people are killers. Flawed logic on your part.

How the fuck did you turn a debate on whether or not women should be able to show their tits in public into a gun control argument?

Ask the person who compared banning breasts to banning knives:

Some people suffer from sex addiction.

Doesn't matter. Do we ban knives because some people are sadists?

[The Alexanderians]

The poll is a loaded question

[Harelia]

No. Anyone who even proclaims any sense of logic should say no. Men and women are different not just physically, but mentally. The male's brain reacts to the sight of plump breasts, curves, and large bottoms by releasing testosterone, adrenaline, and an erection. Why? Because these things indicate a healthy female, therefor, healthy offspring, therefor, breed baby breed. Women do the same thing, only replace testosterone with estrogen and plump breasts, etc., with a strong male, strong face, body hair, etc. The main difference should've already been spotted here, men release testosterone, adrenaline, and an erection.

Men are simply more... aggressive and prominent in their desire to breed. So what do you end up with? Well you end up with every men going googly eyed with an erection and excited. A confused child with weird feelings that his father now has to give "the talk". And seniors losing more hope for the future generations.

So really, it's not just "your" body. People have a right to not have to be bombarded with indecent exposure when they want to go play with their kid in the park or take a jog. Your actions have consequences that affect both you and the people around you. Men apply as well. You don't generally see many men walking around exposing their bush or walking around with an erection because: indecent exposure laws.

If you want to go topless, go to a nudist beach. If you want to do soft drugs, do it in the privacy of your own home. Etc., Etc., Etc.

You sir, I applaud. May I kiss you?

Hands are also used in sex. Oh, and so is your mouth. And a lot of things. Lets force people to cover those too.

[Spoder]

1. Breasts are used in sex.
2. Breasts involve the sexes... in women, they lactate and are usually larger.

So yes, Breasts are sexual organs. Admit it.

Is Skin a sexual organ?

Yes, technically. At least per that definition.

I'd go on Wikipedia for a more lengthy definition, but I'm a little bit scared as I'm on a school computer >_>

[Ostroeuropa]

The poll is a loaded question

How so?

[Excidium Planetis]

1. Breasts are used in sex.
2. Breasts involve the sexes... in women, they lactate and are usually larger.

So yes, Breasts are sexual organs. Admit it.

Breasts aren't naturally involved in sex.

They've become a sexual organ.

I already did say they are technically a sexual organ.

They are considered a secondary sexual characteristic.

And if you agree, you need to find a reason to justify publicly displaying a sex organ.

This matter is hotly debated. Please consult your local physician for further advances in the argument.

Lay it off, guys, scientists have been debating this for ages. A bunch of NS posters could hardly know better.

[Spoder]

*applaud* Still never seen it, even in 40C heat. Yes. It can get that hot here.

Well it's still nice to have the option I guess.

I know if it was that hot, I'd let them hang.

1. Only because they're always covered, if they weren't, they lose their sexualization.
2. Yes, for babies to obtain food from their mothers. But I'm guessing by your logic that that's sexual abuse?

No, they're not, their mammary glands used to feed children. Sexual organs are things like the penis and vagina, which are used in sexual activity and reproduction.

Male breasts are just the same.

Believe me, some people grope male breasts.

[Excidium Planetis]

The poll is a loaded question

How so?

It doesn't allow you to specify what areas, or to vote that no one, regardless of gender, should be topless.

[Greater Soviet Ukraine]

The poll is a loaded question

How so?

It specifically mentions that men are allowed to go sans shirt. It shows the pollster's personal belief, and thus biases the answerer to choose yes. A correct way to ask it would be: Do you think women should be allowed to go topless in public?

Exactly. You'll find that I've argued all along in this thread that being topless should be illegal for everyone, regardless of gender.

No, they haven't been debating this for ages, scientists are smart enough to know the difference between sexual organs and a gland used to feed children.

[Spoder]

Secondary sex characteristics are not called sex organs.

[Greater Soviet Ukraine]

Equality through force, eh?

[Arbolvine]

So few people go topless where it's legalized as I've said, so what does it even matter? A few people may do it, a few prudes may be upset, this affects probably 1% (or some very small percentage) of the population or less. I don't see the debate, honestly.

Because fuck peoples rights if they're a small enough minority, right?

Wow. You do realize your so-called "rights" are to violate the rights of a much larger group? So...fuck people's rights if their rights are already fucked with, I guess.

[Ostroeuropa]

How so?

It doesn't allow you to specify what areas, or to vote that no one, regardless of gender, should be topless.

What areas isn't relevant to the question.
You have a point on the second bit, there should be an option to ban it for both.

No, they're not, their mammary glands used to feed children. Sexual organs are things like the penis and vagina, which are used in sexual activity and reproduction.

How can you prove they'd lose their sexualization. Over time, and I mean decades upon decades where it is extremely common place, then perhaps. But as I've said above, even where it's legalized, so few people participate. You'd have to have waves of women who suddenly felt like going about their business topless all day long. That will never happen, and they will never lose their sexualization.

Breasts were glorified as being part of fertility (obviously) even millennia ago, and thus were overtly part of sex. To deny breasts' inherent connection to sexuality is absurd.

[Herrebrugh]

How so?

It specifically mentions that men are allowed to go sans shirt. It shows the pollster's personal belief, and thus biases the answerer to choose yes. A correct way to ask it would be: Do you think women should be allowed to go topless in public?

Except it doesn't. It asks whether women should be allowed to go topless in places where men are already granted the same privilege.

There's no claim there.
