Well, there are threads in both MPSIMS and IMHO about afke boobs–why not GQ?
I’ll just skip right to the point:
What doctors do those obscenely huge breast implant surgeries in (typically) porn stars?? I cannot imagine that kind of surgical deformity–voluntary or not–being licensed by the AMA.
I’m not speaking of big boobs, I’m speaking of the OH MY GOD WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT TO THEMSELVES? boobs. You see them in porn video stores; the hubby and I rented one starring “Wendy Whoppers” who looks like she has two overinflated balloons growing out of her chest (large watermelon size). Seriously, I’d be afraid they’d pop. They weren’t the least bit pliable–the areolas stretched super tight–and my hubby summarized our repulsion by commenting, “I couldn’t be any less aroused right now.”
Various television documentaries (and even TV talk shows) have shown women going to a plastic surgeon for breast implants. 90%, if not 100%, of the times I’ve observed, the doctors have always commented on giving the girl breasts that are large and full but appropriate for their body size.
Who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about “appropriate?”
(And is there any increase in cost? And what about their insurance…wouldn’t that increase their medical risk? I don’t know how they walk–their backs must be crippled.)
Also, there is a new implant called a ‘string implant’ which, besides being huge in the first place, actually does something to increase breast tissue. In other words, it’s an enourmous implant that gets freakishly bigger.
You want your mind blown?
Trust me: do a google search on “chelsea charms”, because she makes LoLo Ferrarri look like a prepubescent school girl. She is one of a few models that have 'string implants".
She is beyond description. Will e-mail pics upon request!
Hrmm, just had an interesting little run through google doing a search on this stuff.
Basically, the string implants (often called silly string) aren’t being done anymore. The idea is to take a tightly wound ball of polypropaline string and insert them in the breasts. As the ball unwinds body fluid takes up the space and the breasts continue to grow.
The surgeries were done only by Dr. Gerald Johnson of Houston TX, the inventor. Now the FDA has made him stop, and only about a dozen women have them.
Here is about the only links I feel safe putting up on the SDMB.
I wondered exactly the same thing a year or two ago and posted a question here but apparently it doesn’t exist anymore. (Search turned up nothing.)
But at that time, some folks provided links to an article somewhere about a guy in Mexico who did most of the really obscenely huge implants. He was a really shady character and apparently he was skirting the edges of the law/ethics in Mexico. Sorry I can’t remember more details.
It’s obvious from this thread that you don’t like such breasts. It’s obvious from this comment that neither does your husband. So someone’s just got to ask, why did you rent the video?
The same reason I’ll watch TV documentaries about serial killers and bizarre body disfigurements: the freak-show curiosity factor. I see things of this nature and have to wonder–what does it look like? Why would someone do this? How do they move? …etc. My husband similarly calls this the “train wreck” phenomenon: just…can’t…look…away…
Sexual arousal was not at all a part of our decision to rent this thing. That’s why we rented two porn movies that night.
Telemark, I have deleted your links. If you’re going to link to pictures that contain nudity, you need to give a clear and explicit warning of such. The pictures in the linked pages were clinical in nature and not at all pornographic, so they’re not forbidden in the proper context. But you still need to give the warning, since people who surf from work or school might be compromised by clicking on such a link without knowing where it leads.
