I am trying to understand the culture and how women react to being topless at the beach

going topless on most European beaches is totally acceptable. If there is any staring done, it usually done by immature, puritanically regressive American men, who usually just need to be ignored. I had never been topless until i spent a summer in Europe. It is normal, acceptable and feels ooo soo great!!!

They're probably used to seeing women topless at the beach. I doubt they stare. In some countries women don't always show their legs but in the United States it's so common that no one stares when shorts are worn. We're used to it.

I'm not sure about reactions in Europe, however I do know that in tribal Africa topless women aren't considered a disruptive sight. I think that if the culture accepts toplessness for women as well as men then it doesn't matter.

No, only the Americans stare. Women go topless and play with their kids like that. It is no big deal and no ones reacts differently.

At first while i was on a beach in spain I'd have a sneaky look, but after a while you just get use to it.

No-one really cares, because it's only a pair of flippin' breasts and considering every women has them, it really shouldn't be that much of a big deal. If Americans have made breats into something purely sexual, that is their own igorance.
HTH : )

It's just part of the culture. There is staring, but it's handled with panache

In Miami, most of the people went about their business. There was this one group of black guys that were saying nasty things but no one cared

no, it's so common over there. people are more open and accepting of the body. such as arm pit hair on a woman it's perfectly acceptable, they see it as beauty!

It's fun to look, but then you want to touch, and that's not allowed, so BFD.
