Sexual objectification of breasts

A good discussion I was having with a peer at work (female). She brought it up after a member with obvious breast implants got several stares from males and females in the gym while she jogged on the treadmill.
My peer believes that breast implants ruin a females figure and gives a false sense that she's actually better. And that small breasted women are considered by society as not as sexually attractive as by society's standard on beauty. I somewhat disagreed, but I'm really accepting of any type of breast size.

So how do others (especially other females) feel about this?

    I personally wouldn't get implants, but don't think any less or any more of a woman who chooses to do so. A former co-worker got implants, all us girls had fun feeling her up.

    I try not to care what someone else does with their body in order to feel comfortable with themselves. If someone wants to get implants to feel more confident or even if they think it will help them attract more people, more power to em! I don't think any less of them the same way I don't think any less of someone who dyes their hair to change their appearance.

    As for society not viewing them as sexually attractive, I'd have to disagree. As someone who s rather naturally big, I have learned that what others find attractive is completely personal preference. In fact, in my experience, many guys actually find smaller breasts more attractive.

    the only people who objectify breasts are the bores who cant get a conversation going and who get divorced after 8 years of marriage and 2 kids and a hefty child support penalty.

    As far as breasts, what I see as attractive is their perkiness not their size.

    Large or small and perky> large or small and floppy IMO.

    You obviously don't need any improvement in that department, judging by your pic! :blushing:

    Wish I had been there for the other part!! Heh heh

    I prefer natural myself...even if there is a little...sag from the effects of time.

    I couldn't care less if someone gets implants. Am I going to stare? Heck yeah! :laugh: As for women with small breasts not being "sexually attractive" IMO it's all in the eye of the beholder. For someone who likes a big breasted woman then yes, someone with small breasts wouldn't be attractive to them. I've got small boobs and I have yet to come across someone who tells me that they're inadequate and gross.

    I personally wouldn't get them because they would ridiculous on someone my size and I don't have a lot of fat in the chest area so it'd end up looking like I have a boob on a boob.


    The only time I think implants ruins a female is when they are bad implants; the kind that stand up when they're laying down, the kind that are pushed way up into their face causing them to have permanent cleavage and when the boob is completely butchered by the "doctor" who did the surgery. I have seen plenty of those and it makes me shudder.

    Was she jogging in something skin tight and so low cut people were waiting for a wardrobe malfunction? That would probably get her stares.

    Society does consider bigger breasts to be more beautiful, generally speaking. Go look in lingerie catalogues and tell me how many small breasted women are in there versus big boobed women. Go look in the movies and clothes adverts.

    That being said, I think people at the gym who gawk at women are ill-mannered and really should learn how to act before going outside.

    If someone wants implants and can afford it then go for it!

    breasts are very personal issue with most women in our society and for most their opinions about their own attractiveness are tied around their boobs. so with that, i really have nothing to say about what another decides to do to feel better about herself or more comfortable in her skin.

    for the most part, no matter where you are on the spectrum (unless it's the perfect size C), at some point in time during your life they won't be good enough and you'll hear about from other people (friends/family/strangers/peers) with opinions about your breasts. if their too small then you'll hear about how unfeminine you are, if you're too large then you'll hear about how slutty you are. i think this is one of the things about the female experience that guys just will never understand because even though they have to deal with other guys in locker rooms commenting on their penis size, that's just there. boobs are more visible 24/7 and if you veer off that perfect size c, you'll hear about it.

    as for the attractiveness of smaller breasts i really can't speak on that because i just dont know. because of my size, i tend to only meet guys who are into big breasts, but i see tons of women with A & B cups in LTRs same as bigger women, so I guess people appreciate it. OP, is it possible that your friend was projecting her own issues into that "less sexually attractive" comment?
