Okay, that bodyperks site was ridiculous! Fake nipples?! Even dumber were those “testimonials” from satisfied users. Quote: “Everytime I wear them I have an adventure.” Gak! If I saw a woman with those on, the first thing I would think would be “Why the hell does that woman have such abnormally large nipples?” ---

I was hoping to follow **ssskuggiii** s post, but this will do. I LOVE NIPPLES 🙂 Peace! Don’t know why I’m turned on by erect nipples, just am, not particular about size of breasts mind you, size isn’t important IMO, but erect nipples, yummy. ---

I have one thing to say: Nipples (and the entire breast in general) rule. End of discussion. Well, it’s not the end. It all stems from the fact that people (especially men) want what they cannot (or do not) have. So therefore, men want and like breasts. ---

Really? So do African native men walk around with perpetual hard-ons brought on by looking at the perrenially unclothed breast of their women? I submit the American man’s obsessions with breasts is cultural, nothing more. ---

PurePhreak, if you look on your keyboard, you should see a key between “,” and “/”. This is called the period. Use it wisely to avoid Faulkneresque sentences. I find it aids dramatically in the ability of others to understand what I’m saying.🙂 ---

Well, this thread has gotten a tit-- Uh, a BIT of response, hasn’t it? I got the title from an episode of _Seinfeld_ wherein Elaine accidentally exposed one nipple in a Christmas photo. She was very embarrassed and Jerry and Kramer raised their shirts to show that all God’s chillun gots nipples, trying to get her to believe it was no big deal (hoping, of course, they could thus see 'em more often!) I think it is cultural. It’s the remnants of the Puritan influence. Fortunately, we’re beginning to shake it off. Nudist resorts and beaches are getting more popular over here, though we have a long way to go to reach Europe’s level of popularity. On the one hand, I see nothing wrong in letting women go topless on the beach or in the swimming pool or even the street. It’s nothing more than sexism that allows men to go without a shirt and not women. OTOH, **sailor** , why in the world would I want to get accustomed to seeing nipples? I happen to LIKE that thrill I get when I see something I didn’t expect, especially when it’s a pair o’ nips. Bodyperks. NOW I’ve seen everything. What next, a fake dick for the guys with three-inch wee-wees? “Still relying on a rolled-up sock to impress the ladies? (Or the men?) Try ‘Big-Un’ and never be embarrassed to wear tight pants again!” _Your choice of circumcised or natural._ ---

Guys’ nipples are very compelling, too, not to mention highly pleasurable. _tweaks own pair_ ---

either self confidence boost (ppl might stare… yeah! yeah! yeah! 😉 ) or she lives alone and was too lazy to wash her bras in the last weeks… By the way: Do you guys actually notice when a bra shows? Some female friends of mine constantly whisper into my ear “sheesh… your bra shows” with a haunted look in their eye that should make me think the world would go down if anybody sees my bra. Now - does the world go down? Not that it matters… I am too lazy to change anything about it… ---

What? Someone calling me? Female nipples are dandy. I too, think that it’s a cultural thing over here. A friend of mine is as flat as a board. She used to waitress at a pub. She would wear a tube top, and then put on a huge baggy shirt with big arm holes. You could clearly see the tube top if you peered up the arm hole. She got more tips dressed that way, than if she wore a tight sweater. Boobs are okay…but give me a nice neck to chomp on, and I’m set. The female neck is very erotic to me. If you can see the underlying structure, (clavicle and so on) that is a wonderful sight to behold. Nipplely yours… Graeme the impaler. Happy Halloween. ---
