Well, first of all let me explain you one thing: This is not going to be neither a scientific treatise about the female breasts nor at the first place does it have something to do with sexuality…
It’s just a few thoughts of mine as regular readers of my Blog might know them in the meantime…
All right: let’s see first what in all the world made me blog about the female chest, generally known as “boobs”, a short, well known but a little bit rude word as I find for “breasts”.
It is very simple: I’ve been discussing lately with some men about this… the main question was: what do they prefer: natural or plastic surgery? There were 7 Guys and surprisingly five of them voted for “natural”. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but since I personally find implants attractive as long as they’re not overdone, this answer still surprised me.
I asked them, what exactly attracts them about the nature state – but fact is, they couldn’t really answer this question… finally they said, it might be the “feeling”… which made me grin and shake my head. What is it that men love to touch boobs so much?
Possible answers:
1. Boobs are made to be a real sexual turn-on! (An answer which is strongly denied by certain radical representatives of the feminist movement)
2. Boobs are there to feed the babies. True but boring… and that men love to touch them because in their restricted sub-consciousness they’ve never made the step from the toddler to the adult… Never denied but never proven as well…
Finally I asked them if they would still be as attracted by natural boobs if they were hanging down the girls’ knees and look like old socks filled with two batteries… This made them laugh and they hurried to ensure me that they prefer the “good looking” well proportioned “form” of the natural boobs…
Easier said than done… the older a woman gets the more the gravity wins and that’s not only a fact implying for her face… sad but true…
This is not only depressing for the Guy but more for the girl too!!
My question now:
Let’s say, a woman is unhappy with her breasts, not feeling womanly anymore, sad when she looks in the mirror – why not going for some slight implants? The chance is given and it raises her self-confidence and happiness… and even though I’m mocking about “Boob-Jobs” sometimes, I do not deny that once in a while it’s just extremely helpful!
As long as: and this is the first and only condition: the surgery is done well and it looks well proportioned and fits the woman’s entire figure!
I wonder how you’d call this?
Yes, I know, some men like them HUGE and triple-huge, but hey… if the woman looks like the personified commercial for a record-year of pumpkin crop I doubt they’ll like it this much… but however… and whatever it is… maybe they just close their eyes and go on… with… whatever they do… *chuckle* (Let’s say at this place: you will find similar action watching kittens and puppies when they’re suckling… but let’s not deepen this here…)
And the third and last point of discussion was: yes, there’s no doubt that nipples on female breasts are erogenous zones, medically expressed… but: how is it with male nipples?
All of a sudden the question came up: why do men have nipples? It would be easiest to answer that they would look just ridiculous without them, but I’m afraid that’s not really the point.
I’m not going that deep into it – but scientifically expressed the answer sounds like: the embryo, developed in a woman’s belly only turns into either boy or girl from the 10th week on – before that boys and girls-bodies develop exactly the same way – and that’s why nature gave them both nipples…
Didn’t I forget anything? Oh… yes… but whether or not how male nipples react on certain actions… I’m not sure… From what I was told that varies from man to man.
Yes, I know… you’re telling me now: how come you have all those strange discussions about all those very personal things? – Very simple… we were sitting around, waiting for something and were bored to death… at least we had something to think and talk.
Besides: These discussions teach me a lot about male thinking, male nature, male tastes and for example this particular discussion didn’t have a sexual undertone but was more “clinical” and therefore the Guys were really interested in thinking about their feelings and emotions and therefore (at least that’s what I hope) answering me as honest as possible.
This doesn’t mean we weren’t laughing at all during the conversation. But you know me: That’s part of it! *chuckle*

I definately could have done without that picture! hahaha!
Yes, me too. Isn’t this sexy “girl” going to be “burnt” into your brain for at least the next 3 years? ROFL
I love your observation about guys being interested in discussing their thoughts and feelings. The notion that they don’t, along with other gender stereotypes, drive me bonkers. As for breasts, I think confidence and prowess make all the difference—regardless of where thy came from.
Thanks for letting us in on the chatter!
I found out, as long as I start one of those conversations with: “Listen, can I ask you Guys something, and please don’t take it “the wrong” way, because I’m seriously interested in what you think about…. / or what you feel when…..”
As long as the Guys I sit with are at least average or abobe intelligent they had regularly joined the conversation with answers I could accept and that were teaching me about how their emotions and feelings work.
Oh well, of course there were exceptions, but finding that out I just quit and leave…
Thanks for commenting August! I really appreciate your comments and opinions, you know that!
As for breasts, my body might have its flaws, no denial there, but I’ve got the most wonderful partner helping me with my confidence. That helps. (at least it helps me.)
ha ha , what a clinincal discussion! I have passed over to the sock crew, not full of batteries yet, but…. I would not subject myself to a boob job, but this is my preference. So now you will be able to start collecting more data for your research. As for the male nip, it does depend on the man, doesn’t it?
Dearest Liz, I KNEW you would read that “clinical discussion” announcement with the correct guess. LOL
You know, I haven’t thought about implants, since my breats are “full” enough (and not of batteries yet) – But some uplift would have been nice. *grin*
I was told that male nip thing is the same as with us women: It depends on the man, right. From what I hear not all girls readt the same either.
Great post Raani. I can just picture you sitting around a family room with the guys, having this ‘clinical discussion’ – each with a beer in hand of course. Whoever said that brainstorming is a business occupation, hasn’t run into you yet. Loved your post and keep them coming.
Thank you very much for stepping by and commenting. I really appreciate your efforts. I was chuckling when reading where you think that discussion had taken place. Because actually it was before a meeting and we had to wait for the boss to arrive since he had a delay. *grin*
That might as well have been a reason why the discussion was more or less “non-sexual”, we did drink water and soda and the tone was left more “scientific” than in a too familiar atmosphere…
Egads that poor woman in the picture!!! This was an interesting topic. We are told to be self-conscious about our bodies.
I wonder, if it’s my lack of self-confidence that provokes such kind of topics all over again. LOL
Thanks for commenting!!
Hi,
I just love this article and had a good laugh. It is amazing how many men like those natural boobs. Maybe because they have a mother complex that hasn’t been resolved yet. But, I don’t want to get to clinical while writing this. (I am laughing, in fact I am laughing with tears in my eyes). Okay, so all of the surgeons who are out there, busy implanting, STOP! We ladies are going on strike. Our men like them natural!!!!
Older woman with nice “boobs” are the hits these days, and especially when the boobs are natural!
Great article, Raani. I really enjoyed it.
Ciao,
Patricia
Hi Patricia,
Thanks for stepping by and liking and commenting. And I’m really happy you had a great laugh since that was a main part of the post. *chuckle*
You are too funny, Raani! I wonder if men just give the answer they think a woman wants instead of the truth. They say natural but why do they look at the fake ones? LOL!
I’m glad you had fun Linneann. Thanks for commenting. You know, I’m not sure about whether or not they told me what they really thought. But I think it was a fun discussion anyway. LOL
Sure sounds like it was! Guys are fun to talk to.
Sometimes they are – when they’re intelligent – and sober. LOL
Ugh. That bikini men’s bathing thing I remember too well from the 70s. or was it the 80s?
I think it was the 80s since I remember it too. ROFL
Definitely natural.
The woman in the picture looks nasty.
Amusing ramblings.
Hi,
I know the pic is nasty… which only proves: nobody is useless, one can still serve as a bad example. LOOOOL
Thanks for stepping by, reading and leaving a comment!
Something to strive for.
Definitely. LOL
This is classic, Raani! You crack me up. Where else could I find a (semi-) serious discussion on boobs?
One of my best friends was a member of the “itty bitty titty” club. She had a boob job. The slight improvement did wonders for her self-confidence. I say, “Go, friend!” It wasn’t about attracting men (she was married at the time). We need to be comfortable in our own skin.
I’m glad you enjoyed the post Peggi. Thanks for commenting.
I do agree with you: If a woman does that for herself, then she should go for it!
My sister always says, “When the house needs repair, we do it without question. Why not do the same for our bodies?” My personal feeling is I would do just about anything to avoid knives and anesthesia….so bring on the wrinkles and sag.
*grin* Your sister is quite right, I would say.
I just have to admit: I personally think at one point even a woman has to see that no surgeon in the world will be able to keep youth forever. I would say: If your boobs grow out just underneath your throat and you don’t have any more skin on your feet after the last lifiting, it’s time to stop. LOL
Thanks for commenting!!
Raani, Raani, Raani, when I saw the title of your post I did not know what to expect. Many different thoughts actually entered my mind but mainly, what on earth is she up to now? No way I could pass on this one. LOL:>) I think it is great you had such a casual, non-restrictive discussion. Too many times such discussions are important but who is brave enough to begin? Would you like to come over to my next bridge party? You can leave the pictures at home! Just kidding, I don’t even play bridge!
BTW Most apropo time for reading your post. I just got home from the ‘vice-gripper’!
LOL Too bad… I learnt how to play bridge. *grin*
I’m glad you had fun! It was an amusing but still informative discussion. And there was of course no way I could pass this one either without sharing. *chuckle*
Thanks a lot for your comment!
But I did play pinochle:>)
Oh well, since the game will only be an excuse for “weird discussions” it doesn’t matter anyway, does it? LOL
You had me snickering in parts.
Your conversation reminds me of one I had with a couple of guy friends about bras. They were curious about how they fit and all that, but since we were in a car and someone was getting uncomfortable, we got cut off.
As for male nipple – being the nerd without a clue that I am, I’d decided to research it one day. Male breasts are just a case of vestigial structures. All men also have breast tissue and could conceivably lactate/get breast cancer. There just isn’t as much of it and doesn’t develop during puberty as much as women under normal circumstances.
Thank you very much for commenting! I really appreciate that! I’m happy you had fun and I could make you laugh.
I know about the discomfort some people are getting into when having some conversations. If I had felt something like this we would have changed the subject as well.
Thanks for the information about the male chest which seems to be quite interesting. (I have to admit I keep seeing some men with “kind of breats” but I guess, that’s another story LOL)
OK. Why do we men have nipples, and why are they ENORMOUS erogenous zones (you heard it here first!) Why ask why? Try Bud Dry! Remember that one? I can only speculate that men need SOMEPLACE other than their erectile members for foreplay!
*chuckle* I will try to remember this. *grin*
Thanks for stepping by and commenting!
Raani, Ahem–just what other topics do you discuss with the guys? lol. I think putting yourself under the knife which can always go bad is a dangerous thing to do for beauty. I’ve had enough surgery for a lifetime–but when they get safe ways to remove wrinkles I’m first in line. I did have a lot of paim from the rug burns I got from my boobs dragging the floor but after losing a little weight they seemed to jump back up where they belong. That and a good lift up bra can do miracles!! I can’t wait for your next discussion with the guys–I have a few questions I’d like to ask them lol.
Micki
LOOOL. Micki, THIS comment was hilarous. I’m still giggling. Thanks so much for replying!! You’re great!!
Okay now: Let me hear the questions you’d like to ask the Guys so I can “work” on getting “appropriate” replies for you. *grin*
Actually, it’s the guy who’s going to be “burnt” into my memory bank for quite a while! And, Micki, you’ve really got to write an Erma Bombeck type book–your humor is wonderful!
The Guy??? I wonder why! Okay, I admit: The bathing panties aren’t really in fashion (anymore – for about 25 years) – and I’m not exactly sure when he learnt to walk on two legs, but all together he is kind of sexy, isn’t he? ROFL
A great subject for a breast fed boy to answer, natural, to me is best. No matter what the blue nose brigade say men usually look at a woman’s breasts first, and god bless the women who try a little harder to display what nature endowed them with. For the gals who feel they want to improve on their assests, go ahead but some of those silicon jobs are pretty bad, besides being unhealthy in the long run. I’m quite sure that if men had access to silicon implants to enhance their penises then there would be a huge increase in silicon stocks.
Male nipples can be just as sensitive, I believe a lot of men don’t explore the option for one reason or another. The wirings the same guys but the plumbing’s different. When you are game enough to do a ‘scientific’ study of penises Raani, I wouldn’t use the term ‘hanging out at your place.’
Laurie.
Laurie, you crack me up!!
Thanks for not only making me laugh! But for answering this kind of male/female discussion with such serious replies to sensitive subjects and informing us of the male point of view.
Knwoing that men would use the chance of silicon implants if they had it is excellent – and knowing now that the wiring and the plumbing on male nipples is different helps me to sleep better at night. *grin*
As for the next sensitive scientific blog… I haven’t yet had the chance to venture to the penises… But should I even get to that “place”, I will make sure to avoid that particular term. LOOOOOL
Dear friends, readers and commenters. I did get another comment privately and got permission to publish it here.
I appreciate it VERY MUCH and I think it’s extraordinary. – And It’s a man’s comment. Have fun!

Raani,
This is the first time I’ve responded to this kind of topic. But, since I’ve met you on another thread and like your down-to-earth humor, I’ll respond.
This isn’t physics (except maybe for the “gravity”) but it’s really simple. Men and women’s bodies are created to attract each other. And for men, women’s breasts are part of what I call the “bodyscape”. And as part of the whole, breasts, along with the rest of her body, create both the physical identity of a woman and her sensual allure.
So, why is men’s preference for “natural” breasts surprising? We also like women’s “natural” faces, legs, buttocks, figures, and so on. And we like their natural movements, which “accentuate their “body parts”. Ladies, would you prefer Disneyland’s “Matterhorn” to the real one in the Pennine Alps?
Or closer to home: would women prefer a man’s real hair to a hairpiece?
For me, as a man, a woman is the greatest form of poetry on earth.
J. Federico Martin
Raani, you never fail to give me a good chuckle!! I LOVE your imagination and humour. I have to admit that I chat in my spare time, and I’ve actually had similar discussions. I was also surprised to find out that men do prefer “au naturel” overall. I’m a member of the IBTC (itty bitty…), so I don’t fear too much sagging, gosh… maybe lifting them up with a good push-up bra if they do start a big sag would fill a bigger cup size!! lmao
As for the male counterparts, it does seem to depend on the individual. I imagine much like females… some women don’t get a lot out of stimulation of the nipples, whereas some get intense stimulation… I’ve found men seem to run along the same lines.
HAHA… I’m trying to write a serious comment, and I keep chuckling… great work yet again Raani! xo
Tami
*giggle* – You know Tami, I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one having “weird” discussions with Guys. LOL
As for the push up bras – I think we need to discuss this once only between us – this is too private for my taste. ROFL
Thanks so much for your greatly appreciated comment! I’m happy I could make you laugh!!!
Good to see a discussion about boobs is universally such an emotive topic! Thx for following my blog Raani : ) I,too, wrote about chest friends on mine under the title of ‘Breasts, Breasts, Breasts!’ It amuses me, to this day, that it got the most hits of my posts in ANY one day! I shall now continue exploring yours. Your site I mean lol. Wishing you a wonderful day. And for the record, I prefer natural. I think tits of all shapes and sizes are beautiful, but totally agree, gravity is a bitch!! x x
*chuckle* – I think your reply just extended the blog record. ROFL
Isn’t it the title that makes it? *grin*
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one having “weird” discussions. I hope you’ll have fun exploring my blog.
Thanks for commenting!!
I always love reading your pages they are very inspiring. Thank you for reading Brutus the Local, I have put a new blog on and it is part of my life story, the really bad part, but I am a survivor so please read and give me some feedback good or bad. Alexandrasmithwriter wordpress.com
Thank you for commenting and liking my blog post!! – I did read that one blog post and commented.
I find that guys will talk about anything if they want to talk to you. Or maybe it’s that they’ll talk if you have a topic that’s close to their heart… Oh, BTW–Next time you’re bored/waiting have a chat about breast reductions! You might be surprised what that kicks up.
LOOOOL – Thank you for the hint. I think I don’t need that conversation – I watched “Two and a half men” – and I’m afraid I remember “Charlie Harper’s” reaction on his girlfriends breast reduction by far too well. *grin*
What an introduction to your blog that I received. No, I was not googling “boobs” although wouldn’t be a bad tag to attach to every post. I am sure your traffic would radically increase. I was actually directed here by WordPress.
I prefer natural. I think every boy who was breast-fed retains some innate pleasure at viewing a beautiful pair of well-proportioned natural breasts.
Surgery is dangerous. However, my eyes may linger a bit longer at an enhanced pair than at a pair that might be tripped on. That is dangerous as well.
Thanks for presenting this engaging topic and I do have to admit WordPress gave me three post entries titles and as always “boobs” drew my eyes first.
I apologize for my inclination to know more about your “boobs”. I promise I came to read the other posts. The “boobs” just drew me this way.
Sean, by reading your comment I was sitting here in my chair and laughed my “boobs” off. ROFL
This was hilarious!!
Oh well… if you search my blog any further – you might eventually prepared on what to expect from me from time to time.
Thanks for stepping by, stopping and commenting. – And of course: thanks for making me laugh!
As you might see: laughing during reading these blog posts here is more than permitted – it’s demanded.
Have fun in exploring!!
And welcome as my new follower!
Cool Post Raani
I have to go with Rodney Carrington he sums up the subject when he sings ‘Show Them To Me’
Hello,
Thanks for stepping by and posting this absolutely hilarious song here. I was laughing my butt off! And of course I do thank you for taking the time to read my post and leave a comment!!
