I do agree that the problem with breast exposure is the sexualizing of the breast. As I understand, women used to breastfeed in public in Jesse James' time, and people didn't bat an eye. But now, they lose their minds!

I disagree that the number of past partners is anybody else's business. Whether you've had one or a hundred, you may have an STI. Yes, your risks are higher if you've had many partners, but regardless, any partner in the future ought to have enough sense to protect him/herself. Plus, people still judge others for having many partners, and it can lead to stigma if word is spread about a person who's had, or believed to have had, any partners. You may think I'm a "sorry excuse for an adult," but I don't. I protect myself, and I would expect my partners to protect themselves (the condom protects both of us, of course).

I believe in being tested regularly when you're sexually active, and telling your partners if you've had an STD.
