dispelling the stupid western propaganda about bikinis being banned in the USSR.

    Posting pictures of Soviet women in bikinis to r/oldschoolcool and turning the whole subreddit Marxist-Leninist because they’re all super horned up for some reason.

    JK they’d actually probably call the pictures fake.

      I count at least five topless women in the background?

      TBH, it could be due to social conventions about acceptable clothing. Like if you go to the beach in bikini, it is absolutely normal, but if you go in stockings, garter belt and corset, you’ll be seen as weirdo, even if you are de-facto more dressed.

    I don’t know why but i’ve never really liked bikinis. I’ve always preferred a little more covered up, more imagination? Not sure really but I just like it more.

      The string bikini that was popular in the 80s through the 00s usually isn’t flattering on most body types or on a body in motion. Even when I had a BMI of like 18 those things would flatten my breasts downward, give me back rolls from the tiny straps that need to be pulled tight to keep the thing on, and for whatever reason never covered my actual vulva, looking like I had two sets of labia majora. Even a standard “bikini” depilation routine isn’t sufficient… You would need to remove basically all the hair for none of it to be visible.

      Since I had a kid I wear one pieces with trunks and I don’t even have stretch marks or ab separation. I can’t even imagine herding a toddler in what I wore 10 years ago. I’m grateful to qualifyfor the “mom” uniform.

        Especially with how grabby they get agony-mescaline

        I’m grateful to qualifyfor the “mom” uniform.

        It looks better anyway.

    “Gradual transition?” Did the Soviet Union collapse because everyone became trans due to lack of semen retention?

    I learned in a thread yesterday that semen retention makes men attractive to women. Bikinis cause fapping, which makes men unattractive to women, which makes men go trans and it also makes women go trans because it’s all held together by semen.

      it’s all held together by semen.

      Has anyone tested whether it can improve the strength of concrete?
