Double trouble

I remember distinctly the first time I saw a pair of surgically enhanced breasts with my own eyes. It was around eight or nine years ago, in the changing rooms of the gym at a private members’ club where a friend had taken me for a workout. […] My first reaction was shock. Two very weird, alien, unnatural body parts, brazenly displayed, right in front of me. They didn’t look real or natural in the slightest. They looked like what they were – breasts that had been bought and paid for. Not soft and slightly saggy, like a thirtysomething embonpoint should be, but plastic, hard-looking and aggressively perfect. I felt like I’d been slapped in the face. They said robotic.
[…]
So it was with great relief that this month I read in GQ magazine an impassioned polemic, “Fear of fake breasts”, by the novelist Tony Parsons. His argument runs as follows: fake breasts are “like plastic fruit” – good to look at, but not to touch. “They are not there to be fondled, kissed or felt, they are there to be admired, discussed, lusted after and photographed. The moment they are touched – and I mean in the heat of passion, rather than out of curiosity or in the interests of scientific research – then the spell is broken. And this is true of all fake breasts, no matter how much money has been spent on this act of female self-mutilation.”

    I prefer natural even if they are small. I think women get these big fake breasts to intimidate other women not please men. Seriously, anything more than a handful is too much.

    How could there ever be “one rule” for so many different combinations?

    Sad… all I want is something to hang my hat on!

    #2…I have big hands.

    Chicks with A’s who try to go to C (or even D) look stupid. I agree with you guys.

    Never went out with s/o who had implants, never would.

  6. SN says:

    I’ve said this many times in this forum, it doesn’t matter if they’re real or fake. The one true rule about breasts is that they should only be as large as gravity can support. In other words, if without a bra they sag, they’re too big.

    I will add this, I’m lawyer and was peripherally involved in a medical malpractice lawsuit involving a botched boob-job. Knowing what I know now, I’d never let anyone go through with the procedure. Even when they’re performed correctly the underlying procedure is asinine.

  7. chris says:

    Everyone is so quick to give an opinion. I think that more research is needed. A truly exhaustive sample would be needed before I’d restrict my access to any boobs.

  8. Gary, the dangerous infidel says:

    I think breast implants should be filled with helium to completely eliminate the issue of sagging.

    Never seen a fake pair i liked

  10. Axure says:

    People forget why men pay attention to breast size. We like bigger breast because a) babies get better fed, b) there’s a bigger chance that our daughter will have a bigger breast.

    So taking a woman with artificial breast you’re really cheating yourself. Your offspring won’t get better fed with silicon. Also, your daughter won’t inherit mommy’s implants.

    I would personally throw breast surgery into the same category as penis enlargement. Spam-worthy.

  11. Michael says:

    Fake boobs are always terrible. Even if you can’t tell from looking, you can always tell from touching. Nothing worse than feeling either a solid mass or a water filled baggie. Nasty.

  12. OvenMaster says:

    #9: I assume you mean “hands-on” research? I’ll volunteer.

  13. Esteban says:

    It depends on whether you’re looking or touching. I don’t mind ’em on the pin-ups on DU, but I don’t think I’d want them on my girlfriend.

  14. GregAllen says:

    I like all women so the premise of this blog post strikes me as a little creepy.

  15. QB says:

    Real of course. I also prefer a sense of humor and lots of imagination.

  16. chuck says:

    Fake or real doesn’t matter to me. But anything larger than your fist is a choking hazard.

  17. Balbas says:

    I’ll take ’em fake, provided there’s a female hardbody (bodybuilder) underneath.

  18. Micromike says:

    Titties I can play with are real!

  19. hhopper says:

    I hate giant boobs.

  20. natefrog says:

    #17, QB;

    I also prefer a sense of humor and lots of imagination.

    Is that a polite way of saying, “It’s not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean?”

  21. Whatever they are, they’re disgusting.

  22. AC_in_mich says:

    #12, WHY would you want your daughter to have big breasts? Hmmm, not sure if I want to know the answer

  23. Beonarri says:

    I quite enjoy big breasts…I’m not ashamed to say it. Fake vs. real, real is preferred, of course, but I wouldn’t turn someone away because they’re fake.

    My wife had “petite” size, but the minute she got pregnant they’ve grown to “regular”. And as for milking purposes, she gave more milk and longer than a friend (that was pregnant at the same time) sporting a D size.
    She would like to have a small implant though to return (or slightly surpass) the size she had before milking. And I totally support her. She feels diminished now and a little boost would do wonders to her self confidence.

    All boobs today are hidden behind those absurd Wonder Woman Breast Plates ready for battle. Bring back the 60’s when they might have been smaller, they might have been saggy, they might have been odd shaped, but they were real and you could enjoy them for what they were because you could see them. You could see them in the supermarket, on the street. In the neighbors yard. Real women with real boobs.

    But then I guess I don’t count because at heart I’m a real butt head. Nothing is nicer than a well formed rear end on a woman who knows how to walk. I’ll leave the titties to the babies and put my interest where everyman wants to go. That being further down.

  27. GRtak says:

    The only acceptable reason for getting implants IMHO is because of breast cancer.

    We watch way to much TV where the advertisers use self loathing to sell many products. If there were as many limp dicks out there as there are magical pills, then humanity would not exsist much longer.

  28. thecommodore says:

    It’s the nips – the watchfobs – the tit. The balloons they’re attached to are of secondary importance, but generally if they get too big they’ll hide the important part.

    #22: Please leave the political discussions for another thread ;p

    Put me down for loving real. I’ve experienced a fair share of fakes (from huge to minor enhancements) and all were “abnormal” to the touch.

    Maybe the new injectable implants will feel more normal but I understand they have a lot of trouble getting the form to look right and they need to be redone in just a few months.

    Speaking of injected augmentation: Is anybody else getting tired of women with overinflated banana lips?
