I like big aerolae. It’s not a turnoff if they’re small, but it is a turnon if they’re big, for me anyway. ---

Good grief. What will be the next topic? Never mind, I’m not sure I want to know. 😛 To answer the OP, yes. Especially when you would have no way of knowing what size a woman’s were until you became intimate unless you were on a nude beach. What does it matter what her areolae look like if she’s got the personality of a Venus Flytrap? 😕 I can understand everyone having their own preferences as to body types, breast size, penis size, shoulder width, overall tush appearance, whatever. But for something so hard to know until you get intimate with someone? What are you going to do, what **astro** said? :eek: As for myself, well, I’ll only say that mine are proportional to my breast size, work very well thank you, and **Mr Bear** has yet to complain or make any unkind remarks about them. Actual size, color, shape, etc is just plain nunya. You may now return to your regularly scheduled silliness. Thank you very much. ---

I like small nipples/areola no matter what the size of the breast. The really big ones, while they wouldn’t “make or break” a woman’s attractiveness, do look strange to me and detract from the overall look. ---

Given a choice, I like them to be proportional to the breast in hand 😃 If it all looks good together, then perfect! Of course, I’ve never met a nipple that I didn’t like 🙂 ---

Now for a completely fatuous aside. In the writings of George MacDonald Fraser, his protagonist Flashman develops a system to judge the sexual prowess of a woman by the size of her areolae: the bigger, the better. Thoughts? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by katiekilldare \* > \*\*I thought boys just like boobs. Period. \*\* . . . and in general you are correct. I love boobs ! Hell, I even like the word “boobs”. Saying that magical word brightens my day. You know what the world needs ? A happy song about the virtues of boobs and boobocity ! Yes ! Boobs are my friends. _Why do I suddenly feel as if I am back in third grade ?_ As to the OP, the “nipple garden” be it large or small is connected to the breast, and damn it that is good enough for me. Yes, I am a simple simple man. Did I mention boobs ? ---

Mine are big. And while I’ve never had any complaints on my boobs, I’ve always thought they look funny, and consider them to be unflattering. Oy…being self conscious sucks… ---

There are no bad breasts. However, I like 'em small. Bottoms ditto. And of course on Asian girls, you get the nice contrast of fair skin and dark areolae. mmmmm … ---

Now where is **Jimmy Nipples** when you need him? Hey, _here’s_ some advice: Ya like big nipples? Get yer girl **pregnant**. They transform, practically before your very eyes! :eek: They get bigger and darker. But be careful! They also get _much more sensitive_. ---

I too love the big areole. My wife’s are big on a big healthy set of breasts too. She hates them, and wishes they were small (the areola only… she wouldn’t trade her big breasts for anything). I tease her and say that if her breasts were smaller, her nipples would overlap! She doesn’t think I’m too funny. Enright3 ---

Of course, I’ve never met a nipple that I didn’t like 🙂 \*\* Amen, sister! 😃 I’m generously endowed in the boob department, but I can’t say there’s really such a thing as a bad boobie - as long as they’re natural. I don’t like the feel or look of surgicially enhanced ones and I have found that women who’ve had boob jobs lose lots of sensitivity in the nipple/areole region. I think that’s tragic, since I could happily play there and be played with there all night. ---

**Enright3,** , that was great! But I’m a guy. **Arden** , two things: 1. My latest ex (oh, gosh has it been that long since I had a steady?) had enhanced boobage, but the baggies were put in well below the muscle tissue. Longer heal time, but GREAT sensitivity, and the ability to make 'em jump about in a REALLY nice way. (Did I mention I really miss her boo- I mean how much I miss her?) 2. Your last sentence may keep me from sleeping tonight. Thanks. 3. Hi Opal! How are your areolae?
