The authorities of Dominican Republic decided to ban wearing of too skimpy bikinis. It is suggested to impose a penalty at amount about some thousand dollars. First of all, the penalty is applied to foreign tourists, in quantity coming to have a vacation at the luxurious beaches of this country each year. However, it is supposed that local inhabitants dress properly enough, though it runs counter to common idea of languishing babes and passionate machos from Latin America. It must be considered that they have their own idea of propriety. It is considered normal when a woman, puts on slinky clothes, though it doesn’t matter whether a small girl or an aged fatty.
Also it’s perfectly natural to uncover belly as this part of body is considered the principal attribute of women’s charm. But the cases of too deep decolletes or absence of the underwear are just excluded.Almost all the countries of Latin America are very Catholic. Abortion is banned in many of them; girls are being brought up as strictly as possible. For example, a Latin American woman will never sit spreading her legs, even if she is wearing trousers. It is considered as indecent.That’s why it’s not surprising that sunbathing topless is considered not just uncustomary but even dangerous. This may provoke a scandal or even an assault. Perhaps only private beaches owned by big hotels represent the exclusion. With a condition that only Europeans and Americans have a vacation there and security is present.It needs to be considered that Latin American society is patriarchal as well. It’s not usual when a woman visits bars or restaurants all alone. It is especially concerned to foreign women; it may capture attention of really non proper behavior. So it’s better to be on holiday with friends. Men are slightly easier to be. The only things they have to keep off while going to public places are expensive watch, golden chains and other valuable things.
