I happen to like mine thank you very much… [hijack] I have always been rather small up top (34B) but since joining the gym in February and trying to work out more I have found that I am now wearing a 34C and I am amazed. If I had known working out would have made my boobs grow I would have done that a LONG time ago! 😉 [end of hijack] ---

Ya know **Aries28** , if I wasn’t taken and AFAIK you weren’t married… **Aries28** , how _you_ doin’? (with feeling!) Breasts are fun and lovely to play with. I can’t exactly articulate why I love them so. Regardless if you’re gay or not, you’re going to be attracted to certain features of that sex. For women, it’s boobies, for men (according to my GF) it’s the male ass, general build and (probably for many people) general dress and attitude. ---

Breasts are also a symbol of feminine nurturing: they feed babies, they satisfy babies’ (and others) oral fixation, and they make nice pillows. ---

I don’t get the fascination either, I must admit. Just this morning I saw a young lady with breasts so boring I think I almost fell asleep. I must have, because I was drooling. (seriously, I do have to agree with matt about flat chests. Rrrrr!) ---

Yeah, right. When I see my girlfriend’s breasts, I’m thinking about how they may someday feed they babies we will never have. Because I couldn’t possibly be thinking “Mmm, boobeez. Boobeez good. Me want.” ---

For women, it’s boobies, for men (according to my GF) it’s the male ass, general build and (probably for many people) general dress and attitude. \*\* Mmmm… shoulders too… What? :o To chime in, I’d say its all at least partially hard-wired into folks. Society may change what is considered specifically attractive for each gender (skinny/fat, small/big breasts, hairy/hairless, slim/heavy build, etc…), but you’re going to be fairly hard-pressed to find a straight/bisexual male who doesn’t like breasts _at all_. He may find big or tiny ones unappealing, or may rank another feature above them, but he will find them somewhat interesting. If its not hard-wired, then its very deep programming indeed. ---

You’ve tightened up and toned the muscle layer underneath and that makes your girls stand out better. I like breasts. I’m not a lesbian but I’d like to be able to touch another woman’s breasts. They’re all soft and smooth and round and are more asthetically pleasing than a man’s chest. And recently, I’ve become fascinated with certain women’s hips too. Again, it’s an asthetic thing; I like the curves. Regarding the original post, in the 1800’s men liked women with big behinds. It was considered very femine. That’s why bustles were so fashionable back then. ---

Really, you shouldn’t think you have to share anymore. You’re gay, so you’re not interested in breasts. Big Fuckin’ Deal. What’s the point of this thread? With your latest post you’re guilty of stereotyping women, again. You seem to have some serious issues with women. Are you trying to antagonize someone? Rant if you have something to rant about otherwise shut your pie hole you annoying little immature git. \*\* Hahahaha! I will not shut the fuck up and you can’t make me! 😛 I bet you’re incredibly ugly but think yourself to be “all right” and well-dressed. I bet you’re balding, too. Anyway, if this is all so mundane and pointless, why do you feel the need to contribute? The OP and followup was supposed to be humorous. Everyone seems to have understood that but you. Ah well. ---

Yer in good company, **Homebrew** , if **Qazzz** is correct re: not finding it humorous. I found it about as meaningful as “Off to take another dump” by Major Kong. ---

Breasts are fun because they bounce and you can imagine sound effects to go with it. Boingy, boingy, boingy! ---
