Sexual objectification of breasts

I love boobs!

I've gotten mine reduced twice and I still am rather busty.

But I think that it's a personal decision, and we should all just butt the hell out.

was thing of getting a reduction...
do you have scars?

Sorry. Just saw this.

Yeah, I have scars. They're not scary or anything, and they've definitely faded.

The scars are way better than the sagfest that was going on.

"Sexual objectification of breasts" I hope so!:glasses:

My peer believes that breast implants ruin a females figure and gives a false sense that she's actually better.

This mindset is kind of weird... So, she's not really better, she's actually inferior to anyone who has natural breasts larger than her natural size..? If I interpreted that correctly, it sounds kind of the like the person that said that has a bit of a complex. And that said person does determine worth through breast size.

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.




the rest of us QB for the Packers!

Low blow! I feel soo bad for the guy, because if he is gay or not, people are getting all up in his business.

I'm so confused. What is going on here?

Google the Packers' QB.

Oh, so internet rumors.... :yawn:

When it comes down to it... Who cares if boobs are fake or real? Big or small? Floppy or perky?
To each their own.
The people who ALLOW society to dictate their worth, are going to do anything and everything possible to "fit in" and become yet another "sheeple".

I have mine done. But I did it for me. No one else.
Hell, most people have no idea mine are fake.
Some people like the fake look. Some like the natural look.
Some like them huge. Some like them average.

I went from a AA to a DD. you'd think that would make mine look really fake. But they don't. You'd think they were too big for my body. But they aren't.

Personally, if people are staring at that lady in the gym, it's either because she was obviously TRYING to get the attention of others, or they are jealous. But at the end of the day... Does it matter?

Comparison is the thief of joy.

As a woman who had a breast REDUCTION surgery as a teenager, only to have them come back, only to lose them again somewhat after weight loss ... I can say with great certainty that I prefer my smaller breasts ... but my smaller breasts are still larger than "average" small breasts.

It's all relative and preferential.

I feel most "womanly" and sexy when I am proportionate.

But don't compare. You'll only hurt yourself.

I have considered implants. I have a small chest but not that unhappy with them.

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?

It seems like with any other physical attribute, you will find everyone has different tastes. I know a lot of small-breasted women who have no problem attracting men and I have never had trouble attracting men, though I have larger breasts.

I really just don't think about it, though I wish women didn't feel the need to get cut open and have something fake inserted into their bodies (that requires muktiple upkeep surgeries over a lifetime and can cause major health issues) just to feel attractive. Work with what you have!

Not every woman who has implants has them "just to feel attractive" and unfortuantely some women don't have anything to "work with"...you shouldn't judge....your words come off pretty harsh...

Personally, If I was having my breasts modified I would be getting it done so that I could shoot lasers from them or something, but if other people just want to make them bigger and not include that option that's totally up to them

Where did I judge?

I realize there are circumstances that require them (mastectomy, for example), but a lot of women get them because they don't feel adequate. I find that a sad thing because there is nothing inherently unattractive about small breasts. Implants cause health problems. They are expensive to keep up (they HAVE TO BE REPLACED every so often).

But, yeah. telling women they're beautiful without having to have surgery is judgmental. OK then.

ETA: Never mind. I just realized who I was talking to.

That being said, as a bona fide member of the itty bitty titty committee I can assure you I'm still swimming in the D. Guys don't really care about boobs as much as people seem to think.

Implants cause health problems. They are expensive to keep up (they HAVE TO BE REPLACED every so often).

That is a very controversial subject.
I haven't had ANY problems with mine (with the exception of having saline first, and one springing a leak).
So I had them replaced. With memory gel.
And guess what, that didn't cost me a dime.
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

Implants come with a manufacturers warranty against certain things, just like many other "expensive purchases" we make as humans.
Mine happened to have a 10 year warranty.
The doc allowed me to switch to memory gel and didn't charge for it. I even went bigger (from a D to a DD).

So 10 years later, and 2 sets later, I haven't had any issues "health wise" and couldn't be happier.
And it didn't get them because I felt inadequate in any way.
I always liked bigger boobs on women. A matter of personal preference.
Just saying.

Also, they don't HAVE TO BE REPLACED every so often.
Some people have to have them replaced due to malfunction, like I did. But I know a lady that's had the same set for over 30 years.
Lots of things determine whether they need to be replaced. But such a blanket statement that you made, is inaccurate.

*rant over*

I like boobs. Big. Medium. Small.

Doesn't matter. I'm a heterosexual male and I will not appologize for my natural inclinations.


If it makes a woman feel better about herself, who are we to judge?

Well said. DD??? Way to go! :flowerforyou:

I just like boobs.

:drinker:

As a guy who was involved with someone who had it done, I can tell you that it's really hard to watch....not that I was there when she had the procedure, and not that I was the one who wanted her to do it, but I was there immediately afterward....when she came home. It's painful....all around....for her the inability to use any arm muscles, basically stuck surrounded by pillows to prop her up because she not only can't get up, but can't raise much of anything. The bruising alone is a real eye opener. It looked like she was butchered....voluntarily. Most people don't realize how much the muscles in that area are used. Anyway, it took her nearly 2 months to recover before being able to go back to work (people heal differently I guess), but even afterward knowing they weren't real became a mental block in itself. Sure they look nice, but is it really worth the torture?? I'm not saying our relationship fell apart because of her bewbs....that's definitely not the case....but it is something I wouldn't readily encourage anyone to do. \m/

When you stated:

"I really just don't think about it, though I wish women didn't feel the need to get cut open and have something fake inserted into their bodies (that requires muktiple upkeep surgeries over a lifetime and can cause major health issues) just to feel attractive. Work with what you have! "

I'm not trying to argue or be rude, I was just stating that you sounded judgemental and your words came off as harsh. Saying that women feel the need to get "cut open and have something fake inserted into their bodies just to feel attractive" can be viewed as judging. We don't know why people do what they do and frankly it's not really our business as to why people do what they do but to say that someone does something "just to feel attractive" may not necessarily be true.

Also, it's not necessarily true that you need "multiple upkeep surgeries over a lifetime". I'm aware of several women who have had one set of implants well over 25 years. However, there are occassions where implants do need to be replaced but I don't think it happens as often as you may think (although I'm no researcher or doctor, but that's just based on what my doctors have told me).

If you read my comment as being rude, I apologize, it wasn't meant to be...it's all good

too lazy to read the thread...how long did it take for the first guy to say something to the effect of "I like 'em small, I like 'em large, I like 'em all!"?

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

Totally not where I thought you were going with this at all. I get really up in arms about the sexualization of breasts especially with regard to women being able to go topless, and breastfeeding, but I guess that's not what you were talking about. Um, I wouldn't get implants myself because I'm strictly a function over form kinda girl, and I really wish women didn't feel pressured to do it, but if someone wants to, it's no skin off my nose.

I like breasts.

Some small, natural breasts are very sexy. Some large breasts are sexy.
