Last year, on a famously terrible first date, I had a man ask me if my breasts were real. He just...asked me. Straight up.
Are so many women's breasts fake now that if someone has,ahem, bigger than average breasts, as I happen to, then it's assumed they are fake?
Anyway, her's an interesting essay on "WHAT MEN REALLY THINK OF BREAST IMPLANTS"

I've never felt up anyone with the fake ones, but I'll admit it that I like ogling them. They look hot. I mean, let's face it, they are perfect and that's what all men want is perfect breasts.
When I went to my 10-year high school reunion, all the girls were talking about what work they'd had done (I'm from a small rural town, if you can believe it!) and I was just standing there when one asked, "When did you get those?". She was as sincere as possible. I guess it was a compliment, albeit a little left-handed. They are the BEST thing about being a little curvier. :)
Most women and men don't know that breast implants are meant to look like the engorged lactating breast. It's nice to know that the ideal plastic breasts are copied from lactating ones, what a crazy culture we have become! But don't show that breast in public if you happen to be nursing your child. Couples are always very pleasantly surprised at how voluptuous and sexy breasts looking when lactating.
I thought this was apropos to the topic...
There will be a Nurse In on Saturday July 1st at 1:00 in front of all Victoria Secret stores nation wide...

Victoria's Secret - You suck, so my baby is going to suck ;)
Alright, so MDC mamas out there, you know what I'm talking about, but I'm going to break it down like a fraction for the non-MDC mamas. On Wednesday, June 21, I asked to use a dressing room to nurse dd while my friend shopped in Victoria's Secret. I was harassed before and after getting a dressing room, calling the manager after we left was no help (she said that the employee was concerned someone would "be offended by the sight of my breasts") and corporate told me that they "don't allow women to try on clothes in the middle of the sales floor, therefore they don't allow women to breastfeed in the store." VS has been in the news in the past about their rude sales people and the company has come forth saying they are breastfeeding friendly. Someone didn't get the memo!! Office people know what happens to memos most of the time, delete! Anyway, another woman was harassed in Boston on June 22, and corporate told her (after she read my post on MDC) that what happened to her was an isolated incident!
So, we're organizing a nationwide nurse-in at Victoria's Secret for July 1st at 1 pm (your local time zone.) So, if you don't like boobies, don't go to VS next Saturday, because hopefully there will be a whole lot of nursing mamas there!
P.S. If anyone needs a copy of the press release, email

I am SO glad that I will be in the air to miss this. we are traveling to the east coast and I might just have to eat some beans and fart silently around all these ninnies if I happened to be out doing some serious shopping.
My chest is ample, but unclothed it would be obvious that I have not had any work done. Let's just say my postpartum headlights are out of alignment. ;)
One of the best things about undressing a woman for the first time is discovering her breasts. You might have a general idea of the size before she is unclothed, but the shape and specifics and feel are all a wonderful surprise. And all breasts are different.
Fake breasts are all basically the same. They feel the same (I've felt them) and the nipples rarely have any significant feeling in them. And am I the only man turned off by the surgical scar on the underside? No matter how well the surgery is done, that scar is still there.
The surgical scar does make them look like Frankenstein breasts. The nipple has almost no sensation. They also loose that womanly soft mushy quality that makes a women's breast so wonderful.
So has anyone read the essay to which I linked? What did you think?
Katie, you asked what I (we) think of the article?
The jist seems to be that big fakies are sexy because they imply a sort of "look-at-me" attitude that the fellows find provocative. Acording to the article, the "attitude" is the important thing.
I like my breasts fine,and I have no interest in criticizing or condoning women who opt for augmentation/enlargement.
But if this whole thing is about said attitude, I think it takes far more moxie (moxy?) to wear clown shoes or a pair of assless pants. Especially at the same time.
Attitude. Schmatitude.
The media makes women feel like there is something hateful about the bodies with which they are born.
Thus, media-programmed-body- hatred is to what many women are responding.
becky
and I truly believe women do it to each other rather than men. I dont hear too many men griping about womens bodies but man the catty comments I hear about perfectly normal sized women.
Well, the article is based on what ONE man and some of his friends think, not what every man thinks. And yes, an improved 'attitude' may what makes some women sexier with them, but how about all the women who get them because they don't and never will feel good about themselves?
I was interested in his comments about 'good' vs 'bad' augmentation jobs. Can you know in advance whether yours are going to look good or bad? Pick the right surgeon? don't try to go bigger than your skin can stand? This is the part I don't get, because I see pictures on the net of rich celebrities who have nasty looking implants. Not worth the risk in my view...
And also not worth the risk of less sensation when being intimate if that is indeed common as the author seems to believe. Crazy to think you want 'em to look good but not feel good.
I have to admit that I read it in O magazine when the issue arrived a few weeks ago. (shameless magazine whore here!)
Anyway I failed to see his larger point beyond he likes women with attitude. And he likes breasts, any kind of breast, which pretty much sums up the thoughts of every guy I know.
I don't know about that-I've heard male friends talk about women's bodies. I've heard them say they don't care how skinny she is so long as she's not fat. And lots of comments on women's breasts. Men judge women's bodies too.
