Miley Cyrus

Reminds me of Dorothy Parker's classic remark, "If all the girls at Bryn Mawr were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised."

My opinion, Miley and other female celebrities who have been caught sans underwear knew perfectly well that they could be caught out showing more than a well-mannered young lady should! Certainly Paris Hilton for example knew exactly what she was doing.

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but I would not like my gf or any female relation showing off like that.

I used to work with a girl who regularly went 'commando' in the office. She always wore low riding jeans which when sitting or bending over a desk for example would leave the top of her bumcrack on display and visibly no thong or anything else nestled in there. She was quite attractive and I certainly wasn't complaining at the sight but it only reaffirmed my opinion of her loose morals

Well, I suppose that depends on what else a person is wearing ('outerware,' so to speak), where he/she is going to be and what sort of movements and positions he/she will be making and taking.

I believe that Americans tend to be somewhat more 'uptight' RE public nudity, especially genital exposure, than western Europeans are in general... --C.K.

I don't think it is necessarily correct or fair to assume a woman has "loose morals"(whatever that may mean) merely on the basis of how she dresses.
Knew someone once who had a neighbor lady who was very disapproving of how her teenage daughter dressed, in particular the bathing suits she'd wear to sunbathe in her own yard. This young lady graduated college, got an MBA, went on to a fine professional career and a nice marriage and family.
The neighbor's daughters got pregmant at 14 and 17, dropped out of high school and are probably living in poverty today. So much for their modest clothing requirement. As my friend said, at some point they must have been wearing less than a bikini!
As for the young lady who went commando at work, it would have seemed that her supervisor would have called her in and had a discussion about proper work attire.Must have been a very casual workplace.
I agree with Crimson Kid about the contrasting attitudes of Americans and Europeans about the human body. Western Europeans seemmuch more accepting of nude beaches amd revealing swimwear, and sex in general.
Granted this is a generalization. Sure there are some small or isolated communities in Europe that are conservative in such matters. Just as in America, a thong bikini might cause outrage in say small town Tennessee, but be no big deal in Malibu.
Admittedly too there is a difference between revealing fashions like thong bikinis and short shorts, and flashing genitals by not wearing underwear with a short skirt. The latter is seen as stepping over the line, whether dfone deliberately or unintentionally.

Maybe that is the reason why Americans have such an odd fantasie about it. As a woman and mother of teenie girls my first thought on seeing a young girl without panties would be: "Oh, poor girl. Maybe she had an accident or miscalculated the beginning of her period and therefore preferred to remove her panties". I mean, things like this happens so often, especially to young girls. I don't know why people have to document and discuss things like this in detail. They could just avert their eyes and keep their mouth shut instead of making wild speculations about moral aspects of missing underware. It's not their business anyway. Except - of course - if this discussion is taking place on a spanking site, where everybody is desperately looking for any reason to spank somebody.

Mati, I agree. Of course in the case of celebrities like Miley or Paris, anything they say or do is something the tabloid media and the paparazzi are going to pick up on. And to be honest, the celebs should be aware of this and live with the consequences.
Yes, it is unfair that there are those who go around taking pictures like that, instead of averting their eyes like you say. However, there are tons of upskirt pictures on the web,even Yahoo groups devoted to it.
On the other hand, have never seen a story or picture where some male celeb forgot to pull his zipper, so there is a sexual double standard here too.
The times I have seen girls without panties on, like I mentioned, I would never have ever let on that I knew to them, or called attention to it in any way, much less take a picture. Its like when you see a woman with a cute butt and have thoughts about what it would be like to spank it, or see it get spanked. But it never goes beyond the thought level. No one, except a total creep and loser, would walk up to a strange woman and smack her on the butt. Off to jail he'd go, and deservedly so!

Oh, it seems that Germany then still has a high share on creeps and losers

Re: my post above, I wasn't assuming this based on her solely not wearing underwear it's a personal choice after all. However she obv knew what she was showing off with the way she dressed and yes it was an office with a very informal dress code.

Not sure why I felt the need to defend myself but heh

I think Redskinluver was questioning your assertion that public nudity is a moral issue at all.

I made no such assertion, you seem to have misinterpreted what was a lighthearted post.
