Oh Lisa! But why?!

This is some kind of learnt behaviour to be ashamed of our bodies, which is ridiculous, we are all the same, we are all human and have our flaws. #Hjordis

Its not about seeing your friends naked, its about not being ashamed to be undressed in front of them. And why should be we!

People across Europe seem to feel no shame, and rightly so! We in the UK and in the USA even more so, seem to have this shame on our bodies brought upon us and we are taught to hide ourselves away, but why?!

Why are we so ashamed of our bodies, when others aren't?

If anyone hasn't watched that Channel 4 Docu Sex in Class, it is a really great docu. I grew up in the town with the highest teen pregnancy rate in western europe, and it still is - the countries with the lowest rates are Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland. Also matching in STD rates. There has to be a correlation given the statistics surely. I would like to believe that in the future we can educate our children that a) sex is nothing like the porn you might have seen b) about safe sex and contraception and c) (growing up in a Section 28 time) that being attracted to the same sex does not make you abnormal, and you have the same rights as everyone else does. It is as normal as a male/female realtionship.

Well that was a big rant!!!! I didnt mean to go on so much!

But all I meant to say was that- we are all human, we are all different, people are always going to have their ideals in their opinions, but who cares! We are all human, we are all unique people with different minds, experiences and bodies, but who cares!

Live life for who you are, not for something you might think someone wants you to be!
Don't know what any of that has to do with sleeping naked with friends Surely the point is don't do anything to make other people uncomfortable, I didn't watch it but it sounds like that's what was going on here. And unless I've been majorly lied to, even in Scandinavia platonic friends don't sleep naked together

I loved the banner of the WTA Reactions account that was Maria doing the shocked face emoji, but they've changed it now.

GOAT and omg I LOVE THE WTA REACTIONS ACCOUNT. Quite friendly with one of the co-creators! Best Twitter account by far and love how the players like it as well.

edit: Actually was thinking of changing my pictures. Before it was serena pulling a face post point and Caroline with her racket stuck in her hair.

Belinda Bencic is obsessed with it, particularly when they make vines of her.

Oh god the racquet in her hair, I'd forgotten that palaver!

Ignore my ramblings!




Back to tennis chat, good good. Good win for Andy last night too.

I never sleep naked even alone, so I definitely wouldn't share a bed with a friend or someone of minimal acquaintance who would choose to. I never want to see my friends naked, it'd be like seeing family naked, just wrong! I'm quite prudish, in that 'public changing room' scenario kind of way. I'd be skulking away into a private cubical and public showers would be a definite no no! Like at school, nobody ever used the showers!
I don't know why I'm the way I am, I'm not one for PDAs either and I must be the only person that locks the bathroom door even when I'm home alone! It's learned behaviour from somewhere, I guess the way I see it, there are things only your doctor or significant other should know/see, if it would shock your granny then don't do it!
I am exactly the same, Lisa. Even when alone I take my clothes into the bathroom and stay in there to dry and dress myself.

I actually had this disagreement a couple of weeks ago with someone I'm dating, he once went skinny dipping in Denmark and doesn't understand why I wouldn't do that.

I suppose it is a learnt shame but it doesn't affect my life much so I don't see it as a problem.

What a rollercoaster Belinda's match was! That meltdown at 5-3 in the second set, throwing away 8 set points and then the tantrums, racquet throwing and tears that ensued! She must've got it out her system, because somehow she got it together to cruise the tiebreak and the 3rd set. Just knew Doi would collapse after chucking away 3 match points. Hingis is going to be like WTF happened to you, when she watches the tape back. She couldn't watch her protégé as she was busy winning her mixed doubles match.

It's so good to know that when JJ and Cornet eventually tire of continually being snubbed by the Oscars that there are understudies ready to take over in Gavrilova and Bencic.

I watched bit of it but from what Twitter was saying it was an epic match. Also I will sob the day JJ retires.

Yeah people talk about Sabine just being a ballbasher, but she's nothing compared to the mess that Giorgi is! Didn't take Sabine long to figure out that if she just kept the ball in then Giorgi would do the work for her.

Good luck trying to slice Serena or Venus to death, Vinci! Shame Kiki's body let her down, clearly the tennis gods are sadists.

Despite the minor blips at crucial moments, I continue to be impressed with Konta. It was actually pretty unfortunate that with Petra serving first, she was effectively chasing the scoreboard from thereon in, which adds extra pressure. No reason why Jo can't become top 20 or higher. I mean if the likes of Pliskova can vulture their way into the top 10...

Not too disappointed by Andy, he's played a ton of tennis this year and it'd only been Fed or Novak stopping him this year before that match. Big Kev deserves a lot of credit for the work he's done to try and break out of that 'servebot' group.
