Topless Kilting

[Rex_Tremende]

So, to Ron's question, shirtlessness is entirely situational with me. I really can't think of any place, where I've ever been or would go in public where being in a kilt AND it's appropriate to go without a shirt is appropriate. Well, maybe the shore for a morning or late evening stroll.

Generally speaking, though, I tend to think that jiggly parts need to be concealed from view in polite company. If it moves after I stop, it's a safe bet that there are few who want to see it.

I think I straddle the fence between shame and shamelessness, though. When I was a kid, I was ridiculed mercilessly for my weight and body shape. When I lost weight and came of age, and began to explore the idea of being comfortable with my body, like going shirtless in my own home, my parents put an immediate stop to that. (To their credit, though, they attempted to find alternatives, like cropped and mesh shirts and such.)

As an adult, free to make my own choices, I am probably more sensitive to those around me than my own particular needs or hedonism. Working in my yard, I might bare more to my neighbors than I would if, say, I was at a street festival.

Though it would entirely depend on the street festival, you know.

Regards,
Rex.
