I would think it would just be an issue if someone was wearing too tight of a bra or something not just wearing one in general. I go without one if I am not doing anything or going anywhere but if I am walking around and crap its nice to have a little support so they don't bounce around.

I can't stand any with wires or other weird things like that I just like regular cloth ones.

I'm wondering what about that post lead you to suspect that she might have been a guy.

By the way, what’s wrong with “a guy who likes to talk about boobs”? I’ve read the threads about this forum’s rules and they don’t seem to forbid such kind of talk, as long as it’s respectful and on topic.

Nothing is really "wrong" with it, but this is a women only forum.

Nothing is wrong with it, provided they respect the posters and the topic in the way that has been set out in Spongy's Sticky about it.

That was why I found the comment questioning whether the OP was a woman or not completely unnecessary.

Not true actually. The topics have a female focus, but everyone may have something to add. :)

This seems to be a common perception, so to clarify..

1. I am female.

2. I occasionally like to talk about boobs.

3. This thread was born out of genuine curiosity of the study results, not for any sexual thrills.

End of discussion. :wink:

Ever notice that both men and women talk about boobs more than both genders talk about penises combined?

Boobs are closer to eye level, so it's easier to draw attention to them.

But people talk a lot about butts too, and they are at the same level as penises.

If you feel there is a need for in depth penis discussion, then by all means start one. :P

Nope. Just an observation. I don't have much to say, since I do not have a penis.

The difference isn’t really surprising. If humans weren’t so inquisitive and hadn’t developed the ability of language, a penis would hardly receive visual attention at all. Breasts, on the other hand, have long been a very strong cue for males, in addition to their primary use for lactating. Unless there’s any exception I’m not aware of, women are the only female mammals with permanently bulging mammary glands. It’s been hypothesized they evolved this way because they mimic the shape of the buttocks, which males already found attractive before our ancestors became bipedal, as it was what they saw when approaching a potential mate from behind.

There’s no doubt breasts have undergone a lot of sexual selection, and, in turn, males who tended to find them relatively dull have been outbred by those addicted to them. In other words, evolution has designed them to be beautiful, and us to find them so; the latter probably includes women themselves to some extent, as a side effect.

I think it actually goes beyond mere sexual stimulation. As a little boy, there was a time when I thought the only body parts which always had to be covered in public were those involved in excretion. When my mother told me adult women had to cover their breasts, too, I was quite surprised, because there didn’t seem to be anything “dirty” about them. It became even more puzzling the day I found, in my grandparents’ house, a perfume vial with a mermaid figurine as a cap. The mermaid was fully naked and I spent a few minutes in awe, thinking just how beautiful her breasts were and how strange it was that they had to be hidden. Needless to say, I had no concept of sex yet, nor would I have it for a good handful of years.
