| Abstract: | This research studied the practice of exposing the female breasts in exchange for “throws” from Mardi Gras parade floats in the New Orleans area. Data were obtained from men who rode parade floats and from women who exposed themselves. Interviews were done with 51 women parade strippers and 54 male float riders. This phenomenon is compared to nudism, mooning, nude sunbathing, and streaking. |
