Are bikinis bad?

Here's the point that everybody always misses:

Protect your skin from the tropical sunshine, rather than expose it.

Two words to contemplate: skin cancer.

in kerala boys were busy with binoculars at varkala beach drooling over the goris in bikinis.

No no. Bikinis are not bad. It is nice to watch girls wearing bikini on the beach. Topless is even better and I dont mind totally nude.

But seriously. In Goa and Varkala and I guess in Kovalam you can do it, if you can take some amount of guys who openly stare. (I dot it discreetly, if girl is worth looking.)

Are bikinis bad?

What kind of question is that?

In the Andamans, you get the full spectrum from fully clad ladies in saris giggling in the waves through swimsuits to bikinis to monokinis to nudists. Take your choice!

Bikinis aren't bad ... they're really sick!!!

Thanks guys....you summed that one up well for me. I definitely won't be swimming without a tshirt over my bikini. Maybe full Born-Again Christian baptism styles will be most appropriate.

Thanks

The Indian tourists here in Bondi swim in their saris or salwar kameez - must be an awful trip back to the hotel ringing wet! The husbands however strip off to their baggy saggy underpants for a dip - meanwhile the usual parade of Bondi continues around them - topless Brazilian & Australian beauties in tiny thongs, surfers in boardshorts, older topless women who should know better, pasty plump tourists turning scarlet in the sun & other tourists who just can't resist a dip in their bra and panties... Its funny to watch. I often wonder if they are completely disapproving of what's going on around them or if they just take it in their stride.

I've encountered a couple of American tourists who have bustled their children away exclaiming in horror at the topless sunbathers...apparently the lifeguards get a lot of Americans asking them to ask women to cover up in front of their children.. and up the kids end of the beach with the little pool many of the kids are naked too! But the Indians don't seem offended at all - they are quite happy to sit and watch people on the beach and go for a dip - they just keep themselves covered.

It's whatever makes you feel personally comfortable in the crowd.

{Mods, hope this is not off-topic}

Recently in Bangladesh, I spent some time in the Sunderbans. Towards the very tip of the mangroves, we happened on a small beach where some Westerners were frolicking around in the warm shallow water, wearing bikinis.

A few of the (local) women on the tour started calling out "Hai Allah" before making sure that their menfolk weren't stopping to look.

Bikinis there were not acceptable.
