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.0 -
There once was a lady that
Had triplets named Matt, Pat, and Tat
She had fun in the breeding
But in the feeding
There was no tit for Tat.0 -
I think that as a society we have put a lot of pressure into making women think they need an hour glass figure, this in turn means you need boobs and butt!. Boobs are the most visible so that tends to be the primary focus in this concept. I personally do not have implants but I would never look down at someone who did. If a woman feels the need to get implants due to not being naturally blessed in the boob department I say why not?! If I was born with small breasts and felt I had to live up to society's view of what a woman should look like, I probably would get them too.0

I spend about 90 percent of my day trying to figure out how to sexually objectify pretty much everything.
I'd say I represent the majority of people.
I say we get together for Milf and cookies and talk about it.0 -
I thought about it when I lost weight last time. My boobs disappear when I lose weight and I have a rather large bundunka dunk no matter how small I get. So boobs help balance out the equation.
I think women are objectified as a rule, and if a woman wants to get surgery in any way people shouldn't judge her. We're a lookist society and sadly ageist (especially to women) as well. A lot of women have to get lifted in order to keep working. And that's not just the entertainment business, but also business fields as well, sadly.
As Tina Fey said, The definition of 'crazy' in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one want to f*** her anymore.0 -

was thing of getting a reduction...
do you have scars?0 -
I want bigger boobs so my shirts fit better. LOL!
no seriously, I LOVE boobs. (no homo) Therefore I must get me some big, perky boobies.
I would just like to be more proportionate. If it makes you feel good about yourself, then do it. Botox, boobs, spending $300 on a haircut that you can get for $60. All things in moderation, obviously.0 -
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?
Obvious breast implants will get stares because they are obvious!
I don't know about implants giving a person a false sense of security or making them think they are better. In my experience, being busty has made me feel incredibly self conscious in many situations.
Starting from when I was teenager through to just last weekend when a (naturally small chested) friend turned up to a dress up party with a ridiculously large pair of fake boobs (costume - not implants) and everyone was commenting that I ALWAYS look like that. :grumble:
I can't agree that they ruin the female figure though. They do not always enhance it (especially when they are too large for a person's natural frame), but in the case of reconstructive surgery (say, after breast cancer), I would imagine they help a person feel normal.
As for what 'society' deems attractive - the fashion world would consider smaller chests better because clothes are easier to fit/hang better.0 -
I don't care about this topic...*flounce* *jiggle jiggle* *flounce*
*exits topic*0 -
I wouldn't get them myself, but I don't think any less of a woman who does. Personally, I find smaller chested women more attractive (then again, I'm a straight woman..) but I know that lots of people find women with bigger chests more attractive. It's personal preference. -I'm- more comfortable with a smaller cup size. I suppose it's probably because when I was a bigger girl, I had a large cup size and being busty made me feel really insecure.
If a woman is talking down about another woman who had implants put in is -probably- just insecure about her own body, and this is her way of making herself feel better about it.0 -
I think too many people are too worried about what other people look like and what other people are doing.0
-
I would love to get fake boobies, but not for the size, just the perkiness! But not obviously fake - I would want them to look like the best real boobs you could imagine, still bouncy. Maybe just a breast lift actually. Once I'm done with having kids. LOL. I agree that society likes bigger perkier breasts, but I also think a woman is judged poorly once she has them - like she is ditzy, slutty, or dumb.0

Breast implants are obviously done for a myriad of different reasons (e.g., self-esteem, vanity, reconstruction, etc.) and the choice of course is owned solely by the woman getting the procedure performed; therefore, I'm not even going to touch that part of the discussion. My own personal opinion though concerning what *I* think is attractive or sexy? Small breasts will get me fired up every time. Someone said that "small and perky > big and floppy" ... I couldn't agree more.0

Haha, I have never had this issue of wanting fake ones. However, big boobs don't automatically make a woman attractive, in my opinion.0

Breast of any size (Fake or Not) can be sexy; it all depends on the owner’s confidence level and sexual maturity.0

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.
I've never, ever had another male comment on my penis size.
... because it's difficult for them to talk about things so large it's beyond their comprehension.0 -

I've had different opinions at different times in my life. When I was fat, I had huge boobs, and I didn't understand the notion of a woman wanting implants for self-esteem issues. Now my boobs are much smaller, and the only real problem I have with it is that off-the-rack tops and dresses don't fit me properly in that region. I don't feel like less of a woman at all. But I do have a better understanding of why other women might feel that way.
On a related note, I am really, really turned off by guys who talk about boobs and look at boobs like they've never seen any before. It reminds me of when I was in junior high, and boys would ask girls if their bras fastened in the front or the back so they knew whether to sit in front of or behind you in class. Be cool, guys. We all have them.0 -

O.M.G. Men like bewbs? Men like looking at bewbs? Those awful, awful creatures! The human body isn't to be viewed and admired!!
Oh. And. Boobs.

I think it's natural for people to be sexually attracted to breasts, just in the same way as some people aren't so much (more of a butt man etc)
Preferences vary according to the person in question and I don't think they're bad, as long as the person with the breasts is made to feel uncomfortable about the way they are, from others.
I don't think they ruin the female figure, and I certainly don't agree they they give a false sense of better. I know men that hate implants even if it's usually what they'd see as an ideal pair, purely because they're fake. I also know men who don't care either way, they just think the bigger the better.
I'm not going to be getting any implants, but hey, if that's what makes you feel good, go for it!0 -
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.
I a hundred percent agree with it, I mean her.
Unfortunately due to their size mine have never been perky. Sadly this kind of thing always used to take a toll on my confidence.0 -

There is a difference between "viewing and admiring" the female body and the pubescent reaction to breasts that one normally associates with mouth-breathers and others who spend way too much time with their hand down their pants. I promise if you tell an attractive woman she's beautiful, it will last a lot longer in her memory than you staring at her chest.
I know men tend to think they'd love being objectified the way women are (I still recall a thread from a few months back, wherein the OP said women should thank men for staring at their breasts), but a day or two of having your crotch stared at would probably cure you of such notions.0 -
fake boobs don't impress me. self bought fakies-0

I don't think I care. I just think ill of your friend and anyone else who thinks like this... It's dumb.0 -
I would get breast implants just to bring my own confidence up and because in reality, I don't have much to begin with. Frankly, I do not see what the big deal with. I have two dental implants so what's the big deal if I want slightly larger breasts? All I want is a good A size breast.
However, given the fact I have no money to put to this I won't be getting them any time soon.
I don't know I don't feel...like I should right now. I can't get anyone interested me to begin with. Then again I am told that I show no interest in anyone.
Frankly, to me if someone wants to do something to make themselves feel better why not? I felt my smile wasn't attractive to anyone because I had two teeth missing.0 -

I've been married for more years of my life than I've been single...(and that includes the years before I learned how to make peepees in the big potty). I promise you that if I tell attractive women they're beautiful, I will be making regular monthly payments and lose half of my assets.
And you have no idea to what extent I've been objectified in my life...
...and how I felt about it.
