The same court rulings that proved that the buttocks are not considered, "Private parts" as defined in Ohio's indecent exposure statute also prove that a woman's breasts do not meet the definition in the law either, so topless sunbathing is also legal (and equally rare). There are a couple lakes near Cleveland and Columbus where thongers and topless sunbathers have been known to go, though even there they are not a common sight.

SpeedoRob, THAT'S why the sleeker, much lower bikini swim trunks look better on me than official competition swim briefs! I am also quite long waisted. Never realized the why. Thanks for posting.

I am also long-waisted, and prefer flat-front suits that are as low and tight as possible. Mategear is my new favorite.

I wear string bikini
 

I wear Skinzwear men's string bikinis to the beach (west coast of Florida). Nobody else on the beach does (including girls/women). Very few men even wear speedos. I am the only person with very minimal clothing on and I don't give a !!!! what others think...

I wear very skimpy bikinis on public but sparsely populated beaches. Most of mine are from the TM Collection Japan. They are half backs, no more than 1/4" wide sides, wet look spandex, and and are very low cut front and rear. Shaving is a necessity. See ratemybody website. Profile: mrb1
