The beach spots in Kerala/Orissa/Maharashtra/karnataka are much the same, this is in modern, morally dishevelled, eyes wide open India, not a coastal fishing village that sees no tourism, where the story is likely to be very different.

Which Beach spot in Orissa are you talking about?

Hiya all...myself a newbie here...but the subject is so tempting...ahem..ahem (sigh)

Bikinis are indeed tempting...perhaps more tempting than a woman in nude because a man has something to imagine about the 'inside' story! Let us accept this fact. I feel, it is true all over the world. Even in Melbourne beaches I saw men (white, black, brown or whatever color) ogling at women in bikinis. I seriously doubt that the only reason they wear sunglasses is not to get 'caught' by their own girlfriends sitting next to them, when they ogle other women !!!

I am not sure about how many women exist in this world who don't like a little 'attention' especially when they have spent a lot of time looking for bikinis at the store! Yeah..I know, too much of attention might piss one off, but a few appreciating glances won't hurt them either!

As an man who lives in Kerala let me tell you my experience. The first time I went to Kovalam beach (when I was a teen), my eyes almost popped out at the sight of these bikini clad girls sunbathing...like the way local fishermen dry their Sardines and Mackerals on the beach. They turned sides once in a while and applied creams every now and then (just like the fisherman turn the fish and apply salt ! But even then I could say that I didn't really ogle because I felt it was not 'right' but I would have loved to stay there and ogle forever

But later when I started travelling, especially to Bali and Australia, the same bikini clad women became such a usual sight that I hardly notice. I don't deny that a georgeous woman in bikinis still attract my attention, but that sight is not even 10% of intensity I experienced when I saw it for the first time.

Unusual stuff attracts attention in East or West. It is a universal law!

So girls, while in India wear your bikinis when you swim, but as soon as you are back to the sand, please wrap a sarong around. It is not really sensible to flaunt your body elsewhere if you really don't want attention. Good luck
