I like clavicles, shoulders, and the whole neck/throat area. I’m not sure why the neck/throat area in particular, but when a woman tilts her head back and away and exposes her neck like that, it sorta prods me on a primal level. One of my friends said that I might be a closeted vampire. :eek: ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > Me too. I hate that there are so many tank tops and exposed clavicles on tv all the time. I want those women to cover up before someone karate-chops them to the shoulder area!! Hmm…now that I think about it, I wear tank tops a lot. And I’m thin so maybe my clavicles are creepy. To be honest, I don’t notice them often. I think it’s more when someone points them out. Also, I’ve read a lot of books about anorexia and I’ve heard people describe really bony clavicles so maybe it has a bad association for me? ---

My wife is sometimes envious of other women’s clavicles. They do nothing for me, though. I’ll take the “Playboy” look over the “Vogue” look any day. ---

I’m thin but I wouldn’t mind being karate chopped by Miss Piggy. Or someone who makes Piggy noises when they do the karate chop. Miss Piggy rules! I might even pay for the experience. ---

I never thought I (or anyone else) would say this, but Skald, you are completely normal. In at least this one area. There are many interesting and aesthetically pleasing parts of a woman’s body besides the three or four bits that get the advertising budget. Most, in fact. Pretty close to all, now that I think of it. Anyway, I don’t know that I’d place the clavicle over the little indentation below the deltoid or an athletic woman’s back on pure visual appeal. It is, however, in a very nuzzle-friendly area and draws attention to both the neck and the shoulder. Can’t really compete with all the interesting interplays of an athlete’s upper arms or thighs, but they’re much easier to maintain. And really, what can? – > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I’m thin but I wouldn’t mind being karate chopped by Miss Piggy. Or someone who makes Piggy noises when they do the karate chop. Miss Piggy rules!

I’m with you, Skald, and it’s awesome that people like clavicles, because mine are fucking FABULOUS. The only problem I have with this is that I wear a radio at work, and the clip for my earpiece sits right on top of my right clavicle. Whenever I move around, the clip will smack it–not hard, but just enough to hurt. I’ve never had bruising or anything, but it can get a little red around there sometimes. ---

For mine: hie thee to the [SDMB photo gallery](http://www.nouilles.info/sdpix/85610a.html). That last one (the one where I’m dressed up all purdy with my boyfriend) shows some clavicle cleavage. Clavige? Cleavicle? ---
