Why is underwear considered lewd while bikinis are a-ok?
| Because sexism
| Same reason why it's ok to show male nipples but not female nipples.

I always thought it had something to do with men (usually) not having boobs. But no, anyways the reason can't be same.

Literally how
| Swimsuits are intended to be seen by the general public. Undies are private.
| >>389308
This even though the logic is nowhere near making sense or taking into account they're practically the same thing
| Bikini's are lewd too its only women who feel ok wearing them while feeling lewd while wearing underwear
| because people want to go out in bikinis, usually they don't want to have their undies showing
| >>389308
Well, the reason for that is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. As >>1e7c39 has noted, those things are pretty much the same, but for some reason one is meant for public and one is private.
| i once went to the beach in my undies. people were staring with a bad aura. it really doesn't make sense
| i was young so i didn't know any better. i thought it was okay since it really just looks the same and serves the same purpose
| The reason male nipples are not censored while female nipples are is because breasts are so fetishised in Western culture. Is this a bad thing? Maybe, but the reason they are so fetishised is because they're an erogenous zone; when stimulated they produce a sexual response. Although the same response is found in many men, it's fairly taboo and not fetishised in the small way.
| Just some bullshit, add it to the pile.
| While bikinis aren't considered as lewd as underwear, if you wore bikinis anywhere other than a pool or the beach then I would imagine that's just as indecent as wearing underwear in the public. As others have said, it's a matter of what they're made for and also the setting and scenerio
| Because a bikini is expected to get soaked
| >>389308 This
This.
It's all about the context.
Bikinis are to be seen in public, but undies are only to be covered by more clothing.
