I prefer real. In most cases looking real is all that would matter to me, but if I get to do more than look I’d prefer real also. According to some doctors women who go for enhancement tend to want them bigger than would look natural on them, not really different than body builders who use drugs to bloat their muscles to unnatural proportions. I’m not critical of anyone who wants to artificially enhance their looks, people ought to be able to do what they want with their bodies, but I have my own preferences for myself and what I want to see, and feel in the case of boobs. ---

The term Ta-ta’s supposedly originated from a movie in 1982, An Officer and a Gentleman. Quite appropriate if you remember Debra Winger’s performance. [http://www.dictionary.com/browse/bodacious-ta-tas](http://www.dictionary.com/browse/bodacious-ta-tas) Since the thread is about breast implants. Do they feel fake or like rubber? My wife is natural. I don’t recall ever dating a lady in college with fake boobs. ---

I don’t have any philosophical objection to them: After all, absolutely everything about Hollywood is fake on some level or another. My objection to surgically-enhanced breasts is simply that they don’t look like breasts. Size also doesn’t matter much to me. What’s more important is the shape. Now, a larger breast can make the shape clearer, but that’s only a benefit if the shape is good to begin with. ---

The problem with fake ones is they don’t start flopping when the fun starts. They just kind of…sit there. But, hey, whatever floats one’s boat, whichever side of the nipple you’re on. ---

Now, a larger breast can make the shape clearer, but that’s only a benefit if the shape is good to begin with. Flat-chested breasts [are part of an enormous breast you can only see a tiny part of](http://imgur.com/ZC9iOVT). Meanwhile, I can’t see the thread title without fitting it into the tune of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” It’s beginning to look a lot like fake boobs everywhere you go. Take a look at those double-Ds, and those are bouncing on her knees she must have got them much too long ago… ---

> [@CairoCarol](#): > > But if some men prefer giant boobs even if they are artificially achieved, that’s fine. Whatever floats your boat, or your boobs. It’s all good. Saline and silicone are as dense or denser than water so they do not float. Natural breasts are made of fat and tissues that are less dense than water so they do float. ---

No, OP you’re not off your rocker, sometimes one can get overwhelmed. Especially with the all-too-frequent badly executed enhancement jobs. But really it’s the ladies’ call in choosing how they present to the world. If the owner/operator of the boobage is satisfied, more power to her. If she chose that there will be more of her to share with us I’ll thank her proportionately when I come up for air. > [@Go\_Arachnid\_Laser](#): > > It gets worse. have you seen a fake ASS?
