Does your community pool have a dress code?

People don't choose to make things sexual, it just is.

Adults can choose not to do anything about it.

Exactly.

A man can look at a fully developed 16 yo who is clearly putting herself on display, and he can think in his head “man, that’s hot.” Then he can go about his day.

This is probably exactly what’s happening now. I don’t see the big deal.

Check this persons hard drive. yikes.

If you think that 99% of men aren’t doing this, then I have a bridge to sell you.

What about when a 22 year old woman aggressively twerks on the ladder railings in front of children, displaying her genitals and a-hole at a children's pool because she wants to be Instagram famous? Or men waving their erections at, well, everyone? Can we agree that's inappropriate?

I'll take "this never happened" for $200 alex

Seems like it does https://wgme.com/news/local/community-complains-after-sex-offender-uses-public-pool-in-portsmouth

Yup https://wgntv.com/news/man-charged-accused-of-exposing-himself-at-suburban-pool/

So 2017 and 2018? Apparently this hasnt been an issue for 7 years?

I recently saw on twitter that there is a reddit forum about dads who are attracted to their daughters, and wish to see them naked. So yes, it happens. And yes, it's sick. These are children, be a f***ing adult and stop sexualizing minors.

Do you honestly think it’s NOT a reflexive thought when they see almost completely exposed 16-17-18 yo girls in skimpy bathing suits? You think they actually control this thought process?

And I’m not talking about dads and daughters, that’s an entirely different story.

Yes, I think - and expect - men to control themselves around children. Stop being disgusting.

I try to remind myself it’s so great these kids have such body confidence - but I also find the suits distracting. And I’m not sexualizing anybody - just noticing the girls are nearly naked.

Funny how the men aren’t wearing banana hammocks with their checks hanging out.

Something that struck me as—well I was going to write odd but really it’s just different culture— is that in a lot of European countries “swimming briefs” (like speedos and jammers) are way more common in casual settings. Common amongst all ages.

Like, here in the U.S. it’s a bit odd to see guys wearing those in a situation other than competitive swimming. Not so in Europe.

In fact, in France public pools are required by law to enforce a “swimming briefs only” dress code. No trunks, board shorts, etc. Just swimming briefs allowed. You will get called out on it and forced to purchase a swim briefs on location if you want to continue to swim.

Why? Why do they care if we wear trunks?

Yeah, that's a weird rule.

Rules banning non-swimming clothes make sense, because those fibers can clog pool filters. I can't think of any rationale for banning larger swimsuits, though.

Also, to be clear, people are citing Europeans as an example of how we shouldn't make rules policing swimsuits, but the French will actually FORCE you to BUY another swimsuit if they don't like the one you have on?

I'm skeptical about this. This sounds like something that was lost in translation.

No one here is saying that people who wear thongs or display their erections should be forced to purchase different bathing suits.

Those two things aren't really the same, you know.

Can't say I've ever seen the latter at our pool.

But, you'd be okay with it?

It's true. It's because it's hard to tell the difference between swim trunks and street shorts, but with briefs there's no question you're not wearing street clothes.

The latter? No. But that's probably a vanishingly rare occurrence at the average pool. I mean, I grew up in Florida, which is much more of a beach and pool party culture. I never saw someone doing that.

Thongs? They don't bother me.

Finally, we have someone willing to condemn men displaying their erections. So, one more vote for dress code!

Why do the vaunted french care? If they can have dress codes, why can't we?

It makes the French seem kind of dumb if they can't tell the difference between longer swim trunks and street shorts. But, whatever, the French are different.

But they’re not doing anything at all except looking. The rest is observation in their heads. Are you honestly saying men need to immediately avert their eyes when a bathing suit may possibly reveal too much? Is that the “control” you are talking about?

So, it's the moms that are the problem?

When you say "displaying their erections" do you mean the guy actively whipped it out at the pool? Because you don't need a dress code for that- that's already illegal.

Or, do you mean you could kind of see an outline of it through his shorts? If so, that doesn't seem like a big deal.

It sounds like it's a rule that's meant to prevent cotton fibers from getting into pool filters. It's not anything to do with sartorial choices.

You’re the one who keeps bringing erections into the conversation. No one has said they’re okay with kids seeing them; everyone has asked you what that has to do with dress code. Are you saying men who might get an erection at the swimming pool should dress in a way that it wouldn’t be visible to other people? I will agree with that but honestly I’ve never seen someone dealing with that issue at my public pool so explicitly writing it into the dress code seems like overkill to me.
