Breastsss

Often, while surfing for porn, one will run across ads that say stuff like "Tired of Silicone Stuffed Titties..." and things of that nature. Once they've "sucked" you in with their brilliant marketing ploy, you're usually whisked away to some site full of chubby, unattractive women. Of course, I'm only telling you what I've heard.

You see, I have this friend who was surfing for porn the other day, and he told me about the "Tired of Silicone stuffed...blah, blah, blah" ad and it got me thinking. After several nanoseconds of deep thought, I realized that my answer was...no, not at all. Why should I be tired of enhanced breasts. I like breasts. They're fun. Why should I be upset if they are a little larger and perkier than other pairs of boobies?

However in all seriousness, this is actually something that I've given thought to because two women who are very close to me have had breast enhancement operations. For the sake of anonymity we will refer to them as woman1 and woman2. One day woman1 decided that she was going to get a boob job. I could not understand this. "Why would you want to change what you have?" I asked. "Because I think it will make me feel more confident," she replied. "Whatever," I said to myself. It's not that I wanted to prevent woman1 from having the operation, I just didn't understand why she wanted to do it in the first place. In spite of my questions, woman1 had her enhancement and was happy (which made me happy).

Spurred on by woman1's successful operation, woman2 decided that she might like to try it. As I was in a slightly better position to talk to woman2 about the operation than I was with woman1, I asked woman2 similar questions. "Why would you want to do that?" "Because it will make me feel better about myself. All my life I've always been 'one of the guys.' I don't want to be one of the guys. I want to stand out and feel like a woman," was her response. This got me thinking again.

Sexual dimorphism among Homo sapiens is not very pronounced. Much of our gender recognition is based on social aspects. A man can look like a woman (and vice versa) by following the formula for "woman in particular society" (long hair, make-up, dress/skirt, etc.). One of the very few noticeable physical characteristics that makes a female a female in human society is breast size. Women generally have larger, more pronounced breasts than men. With that in mind I began to think about the breast enhancement operations, and it began to make a little more sense. For a woman who feels that she may be lacking in bust size, it could be a very large (no pun intended) boost in confidence if she could increase her breast size. Perhaps she might feel more sexually attractive, or even longed after. Why wouldn't a woman want to feel that way? Don't we all want to feel that way?

So, after all of that bullshit, I say to the porno ad people, "Fuck you! Let women be beautiful their own way. If it makes them happier and more confident, then maybe I'll actually have a chance to get laid..."
