Breast implants. Why?
This is the first topic I have ever presented here. It is not an assault. Nor is it in judgment. But rather a sincere desire to understand something that puzzles me: Having a Y chromosome, I am fairly convinced it is impossible for me to understand the thoughts and emotions of those with two Xs. But it seems to me breast implants are becoming nearly endemic in our society. From what I gather, this is because they make the recipient feel better about themselves. Feeling good about oneself is clearly a good thing. And I can understand how accomplishing something can bring this about. Want to feel better? Learn a language-- or a craft. Train to run a marathon-- or climb a mountain. Work towards a goal. Accomplish it. Feel better. :-)) What I don't understand is how buying something might bring about this result? Can anyone help enlighten me here? Thanks! Ira Mar 13 06 05:09 pm Link When I was a kid I had kind of screwed up teeth. In middle school I got braces and oral surgeries to fix them. This made me look better. That made me feel better about myself. Mar 13 06 05:11 pm Link To make yer tits bigger. Mar 13 06 05:12 pm Link Its not the matter of buying something.. for if that was the case I would just go on an $8000 shoping spree instead. I myself have considered breast implants. Its not because I think I NEED them to be good in life, or even for the fact that I have 'abnormal' breast. I have very nice, small breast. But even though I've learned to live and even like this fact, I would be more comfortable with my own body if they were different. Its just the same as coloring your hair.. you don't like something about yourself, you fix it.. you feel better Mar 13 06 05:13 pm Link Peacocks with the bigger, brighter feathers get the best mate.

Mar 13 06 05:33 pm Link Breast Implants just seems like a bad excuse to hide your insecurites about yourself...and someone constantly has to keep doing more and more surgery until they look like janice dickinson.... i have thought about breast implants billions of times...just thought bigger boobs would get me more attention and make me feel good about myself....but i just said what about in the long run when i am getting older and my boobs cant catch up with my age... Just thinking that those same people who take thousands of dollars to get breast implants to "make themselves feel better"...should take that moeny to talk to someone professionally about ther self esteem issues....cause you mental issues could last as long as those boobies....::::?????

I have several friends that are 'strippers' (*) and I have asked them directly why they get them (I prefer natural) and they all tell me it gets them more tips. It gets them noticed before the other girls. Mar 13 06 05:56 pm Link The queastion should be, Why do women with beautiful exquisite breasts get implants? That sounds like a personal problem. Besides they feel yucky and they buckle in wierd places Yuck! They also have to get attention from a surgeon periodically. You know that the body encases foreign objects with fibrous tissue. No exceptions. You have to get them scraped and then replaced every few years and you steadily loose sensation.

Mar 13 06 06:07 pm Link I think the media, and society have dictated the way we view ourselves now. From breast implants, to tummy tucks, butt lifts.... and the list goes on. We are no longer "ok" with the body we were born with. It's not just implants, or any type of plastic surgery for that matter. It's really sad to think that self concept has to come from your reflection, and self worth is measured by some in cup sizes. Mar 13 06 06:50 pm Link As I have always said " anything bigger than a handful or a mouthful is a wasteful!" Mar 13 06 06:56 pm Link Not again... Ira, this is not a slight against you but having seen this topic come up before... well, let's just say the responses get predictable. Why do women get implants? Perhaps a better question would be: why do people get tattoos? Or piercings? Or lazer hair removal? Or hair transplants? Or wigs? Or bad combovers? Or braces? Or dentures? Or acrylic nails? Or colored contacts? Or liposuction? Or nosejobs? Or facelifts? Or go to the tanning bed? Or dye their hair? Or cut it? Because before we fix our mouthes to question why a woman gets implants (or accuse her of having "fake tits") we should first ask ourselves why we do the hundreds of other things we do to adjust our appearances. And when we have that answer, perhaps we won't have to ask why women get implants anymore. While I'm all about indulging one's curiousity, ultimately people are allowed to do what they want to do and unless it affects us directly it's none of our fucking business. That's why they pay the money for implants...

Mar 13 06 07:31 pm Link CristinaLex wrote: Just because someone wants breast implants to feel better about themselve does not mean they need psychological help and that they are insecure automatically. Granted there are alot of people that fit this description.. but there are alot of people who do not. I am considering breast implants because I think I will feel better about how I look... but I feel great about how I look now. Just because someone says "better" doesn't automatically mean they feel horrible about themselves and that they have mental issues!

Mar 13 06 07:39 pm Link i agree... futile argument. girls are either going to get them, or not photogs are either going to shoot them, or not guys are going to like them, or not what's the point in discussing it? i think implants look awful - but girls will still get them, photogs will still shoot them, and (other) guys will still like them. Mar 13 06 07:43 pm Link I'm kind of intrigued by how many guys have expressed their two cents worth here... For how can we possibly know? It becomes fairly clear to me that this is a slightly sensitive issue for some people. And I'm sure there are as half as many answers to my question as there are fake breasts in the world. Again, I've not addressed this to pass judgment on anyone. Simply in hopes of gaining a bit of insight into something I face here and in life with increasing frequency, which though I have some notions as to why, I do not wholly understand. I guess my biggest concern is a society that seems to becoming overly oriented to what the package looks like-- and less about what it contains. For I strongly believe that feeling good and happiness (which is the essence of this question and thread) is not something which can be bought. For if this was true all the people in afluent areas would always be happy (and they are not)-- and all those in Third World poverty wouldn't be (and many are). This is as clear as the nose on my face (which is substantial). [And no, I have never thought of having a nose job.] Ira Mar 13 06 08:13 pm Link theda wrote: LOL---I would have expected that from a male Mar 13 06 08:18 pm Link I like both. If a girl has natural breasts with great shape and perkiness- keep em. If they are too big, too small, dont have a great shape, uneven- and you want to- upgrade em!

Mar 13 06 09:10 pm Link for me..its all about proportion!! then again im a "whole package" kinda girl. But you know, each to their own... Some people like them, some people dont. Its all a matter of choice. I personally would not get breast implants...But that is because i am completely happy with my chest size (and that fact that their size fits with the rest of my body as well.. if they were bigger on me i would look deformed)! But i completely understand (and would do it too!) if one "needs" them... Like a mastectomy (however you spell it) patient/breast cancer survivors.. Abnormalities, etc. And i just respect your right to do with your body what you want ^_^ PS- Tattoo has two "t"s i see that misspelling all the time and it is irksome Mar 13 06 09:28 pm Link Celestial Sinn wrote: Now I didn't give you a hard time when you said "to each their" instead of "to each his/her" now did I?!

I like you, am perfectly happy to work with any cup size. I put much more emphasis on personality.
