Men want girlfriends to cover up: Poll

Men frown on their partners sunbathing topless, but are quite willing to see other women baring all on a beach, a poll has revealed.

As many as 56% of men would not allow their partner to go topless while on holiday, the survey found.

But 89% of men said they had no problem with other women stripping off, The Sun reported Sunday.

Of the 2,392 women surveyed, 68% said they were prepared to go topless on the beach.

The survey was carried out by travel agent sunshine.co.uk. "I think sunbathing topless is a taboo subject for many people, but a high number of women are evidently happy to do it." co-founder Chris Brown said.
