Sex is as natural as breastfeeding. Some people have an issue with that even when in the privacy of your own home, let alone in public.

If you read the thread you'll find a few reasons why you might have an issue, though you personally may not.

My wife nursed in public situations and never once exposed herself to anyone besides the baby.Most women just whip out the old feedbag and plop it into juniors mouth,without using a blanket to screen the gawkers.Is anything wrong with modesty in nursing??
No nothing at all. But some mums will obviously care less about modesty than others.

Neither should be a problem in this day and age.

Some people have issues with everything.Doesn't mean I have to understand it though.
I find there's nothing sexual or offensive about it.No idea how other people do it but the few times I witnessed public breastfeeding there wasn't even a breast in sight.Unless you made an effort and maybe pushed the baby out of the way or something LOL

You'd struggle to offend me actually but I do have a slight problem with breast feeding in public. However, it's not the breast itself I have a problem with, as I really have no problem with anybody who wants to strip off in public. It's quite commonplace in Scandinavia you know. My problem is something deeper than that, more connected with the whole birth thing. I don't pretend it's anybody elses problem than my own and I wouldn't condemn anybody just because I have a problem. What I have objected to in this thread is that several people think it's fine to completely ignore the fact that some people might be offended as if it their right to offend.

I accept that sometimes people just have to put up with being offended but they should at least be treated sensitively and not dismissed out of hand.

Yes, let's offend people in a sensitive way, shall we? Too MUCH sensitivity in the world - that's how you get offended by breastfeeding, being sensitive, in the first place.
Will you stop it now!!

If something is plainly sensible in the modern age such as having sex with your girlfriend before you are married and yet a large body of people find this immoral e.g your parents. When the both of you stay at your parents do you

a) Have an adult discussion with your parents about it and come to a cordial agreement one way or the other

b) Sneak into the bedroom your girlfriend is staying in for a quickie and hope you'll both be quiet enough

c) Accept the situation and not have sex or stay away from your parents

d) Say "Stuff you, it's perfectly natural" and proceed to have sex in front of the TV

One of these answers is wrong and you know it.

Point being women shouldn't have to worry about it. Are Americans really so nuts that the site of a nipple in public is going to drive them batshit crazy?

Wait. Yes. Am ...[text shortened]... lashes for half a second before junior gets down to business. Yep. Makes perfect sense now.
Hey man,some womens boobs were not meant to be seen. 😛
Maybe they need to license them for public display.

HAHAHA!! That was an excellent display of exasperation! You're superb. I was not talking about teen sex, that's another thread, but you're very cute when you go on tilt.
hehehehehe 🙂

However, we WERE discussing how to behave towards offended people. At least I was.
