Topless in Brazil

Why topless is allowed on certain occasions and forbidden in others? What happens there in Brazil?

The topless is allowed and accepted throughout the world, but in Brazil, for the sadness of Brazilian women and tourists, the controversy surprises. It depends the place, you can go even to the jail.

Believe me, there is some logic here?

Show breasts in the carnival: allowed
Show breasts to breastfeed: allowed
Show breasts in the doctor: allowed
Show breasts in the magazine cover: allowed
Show breasts in novels and movies without restriction of age allowed
Show breasts in advertising: allowed
Show breasts in the native documentaries: allowed
Show breasts in campaigns against breast cancer: allowed
Show breasts on the beaches: banned!

They say: What is that little shame? What indecency! Call the police! We have children here!

It is common to hear that the topless hits a familiar environment. But wait, children, in fact, are more used to the sight of a breast since their main food in early life comes from there.

So, girls think twice to make topless when you visit Brazil. It´s a nice country, nice weather and people, culture, nature, BUT, Brazilians got the hypocrisy from the catholicism when the topic is morals.
