Covering Up

by Larry John

 

I have never been to a nudist colony. I have never been to a nude beach. But a few years ago when I was in Greece my wife and I went to a topless beach. Now let me say right now, I was the only one topless. My wife kept her top on. But lots of the women on the beach were topless. It wasn’t a totally nude beach, but tops were optional. And I noticed a funny thing. At first I was incredibly curious as I looked at each and every woman I could get my eyes on… without my wife seeing me look, of course.  Being a man… seeing a woman’s bare breasts was extremely fascinating. But after a few minutes I noticed a change. I was no longer fixated by the . . . bare facts. These women were just people again, just women basking in the sun. The fascination and my curiosity were gone. It seemed so incredibly normal. What is it about covering up our bodies with clothes that makes our curiosity increase? It is said that, “clothes make the man”…but when it comes to Men…clothes keep the curiosity factor alive. Think about it.
