Children exposed to breasts

Look back at pictures pre punk and earing's were pretty rare. That's my point, you forget what you considered normal. With the exception of one or two musicians you find me a picture of a man wearing an earring in day to day life pre 1974.

When kids first started freezing their ears with ice and putting safety pins through their lobes the reaction all over the U.K. was shock. Do you honestly not remember that?

Edit: Perhaps you are younger, I am talking about 1976?

I agree.

Pre-punk you never saw a man with an ear-ring unless he was a gypsy.
Not even musicians/pop stars ... not even Bowie!

A discreet earring for men gradually crept in during 80s.

We are talking about pierced ears aren't we?
Bowie wore clip-ons as part of his glam-rock image.

He did eventually get his ears pierced in late 80s or early 90s.

Seems this conversation might be headed toward its natural destination: Nipple rings.

So your dad's mates had pierced ears in the early 70s and the people who served you in the village shop? You just can't back down. Pierced ears were not around in mainstream life for men like they are now. Get real, get honest.

I remember that I bothered to keep arguing with a brick wall and got caught up in what you like to do (and were doing long before I was here) where I should have just left it like I will do now. Re-Read my post 31.08.20 20.00. Have a nice day.

You'll find many more pics of 70s Bowie without an earring than with.
As I said he wore "clip-ons" and to my knowledge didn't wear earrings off-stage
because it was not the norm for men to wear earrings

You'll probably have fun proving me wrong but I cannot think of any Bowie
album cover with him wearing earrings - and he was on all the covers.

As for other glam-rock stars ... their hair was too long to show any earrings!

OK ... here we go.

People in the uk were “shocked” at seeing a single ear piercing in the mid 1970s.

How old were you in 75?
Not 10 years old I believe ...
