Yesterday I said how strange it was that there are often half-naked men in temples whereas women are not allowed to enter at all, if they do not cover their head and other body parts properly. In general, you can usually see men walking around topless but you never see women like that. How come a woman’s breast has become that much sexy whereas the male equivalent is not?
Once in a chakra dance party the room got very hot, several men took off their shirts and I just wrapped my dhoti around myself in another way so that I was practically topless. When I did that, a woman said ‘Swami Ji, men can do that, we would also love to this! It is so hot! But we are a bit different, aren’t we?’
Well, actually not so much. This belief is basically created by society. Look at some African tribes where everybody is walking around naked, or only with a loincloth around the waste. There female breasts are not that much of an attraction for men because they are not hidden. Whatever you hide becomes more interesting and more sexy. And as they were hidden for so long, they are very sexy. Otherwise they are just like every other part of the body and not much different than a man’s upper body.
Okay, I admit, they are bigger than a man has but that has simply natural practical reasons. They have to produce milk so that women can feed their babies. However men also have nipples and man will feel the same sensation if you touch them.
Additionally there are also other parts of the body which can be very sexy and where a woman likes to be touched, be it behind the ears, on the thighs, the neck or many other places of the body. Also for men there are many other parts of a woman that can look sexy. Breasts may look beautiful, but an arm can, too. I hope women with beautiful breasts won’t get angry with me, I do not want to be disrespectful, god beware, but don’t you think so?
Mmh, am I writing today’s diary about women’s breasts? Actually it is not about that. It is about respect for others and equality of us all. Of course, society has developed like this, however we respect and follow it. I see all this, that it is actually just natural to be naked and I remember my time in the cave and how it was to be naked 24 hours a day but I would still not walk around naked in the Ashram garden. I just sometimes ask myself why not? What keeps me from doing it is the respect for others.
Today we celebrated India’s Independence Day, some girls performed a dance, all children got cookies and we hoisted the Indian flag.

Poor media tends to take respect and equality out of a lot of aspects in life it seems. So many ways to keep yourself perfect, clean, skinny, beautiful attractive and everything says that you should not be okay with who you are.

If women's breasts were always exposed they would not be such a big deal. it is because we hide them that they are so arousing.
