> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BornDodgy \* > **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.** If you mean the girl I saw, she was possibly wearing a strapless bra (her sleeveless white top had a kind of a loop that went around her neck; her shoulders were bare to the arms). She was young enough to be my daughter, so I just looked, as discreetly as possible. She was about 5’6" and 100 pounds, about a 35C, and flawless black skin. She could’ve passed as Naomi Campbell’s younger sister. I’m a dirty old man (age 43). ---

you can actually see nipples through a bra? I dont think so… would have to be a very thin bra then… silk or something… ---

My nipples are even visible through my thick, old nursing bra underneath a sweater. They have been visible protruding from my cotton bras as well as the ever so slightly padded bras (designed to minimize protruding nipples). ---

The truth about what type of breast men really like. It is not about size or shape. The a great breast is one that is uncovered. A perfect is one that is covered by some body part of mine. But I think we are missing the really important question here. What I really want to know is… \*\*Erika how did you find that site? ---

They have been visible protruding from my cotton bras as well as the ever so slightly padded bras (designed to minimize protruding nipples). \*\* THIS is what I meant in my posts. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I meant they were visible _as bumps,_ not unlike those silly Body Perks. I could not see the areolas, the circles around the nipples. BTW, science tries to explain everything, and the theory is that areolas evolved to help babies find the nipple. (They also use smell.) What about women who do not have areolas that contrast with the rest of the skin? Either you’re mutants or you’re the ones who haven’t evolved. 😉 ---

According to the men I know: Men can see erect nipples through a bra. Men can see erect nipples through **any** bra. Men can see erect nipples through loose, baggy sweatshirts. Men can see erect nipples around corners, through walls, or through a sheet of lead. They’ve got x-ray nipple vision. ---

Anybody else besides me remember buying bras back in the 1970s that had little bumps on the front of the cups to simulate erect nipples?? My mother HATED them!! I was a teen-ager and thought they were great! 😃 MomCat ---

Now the C cups and smaller that have 1-2" of padding are designed to make the breasts look larger. ---

A husband and wife are in a restaurant and a well-endowed woman walks by. The man stares at her. His wife slaps him on the arm and says, angrily, “Why did you stare at her like that? You’ve seen breasts before!” “Yes. But I had never seen _hers_ before.” ---

FYI, some women do have “nipple erectile dysfunction”. Some nipples are flat or inverted. You actually have to do some “work” to get mine up. Not that Mr. LunaSea minds… Sorry, is that TMI? ---

Dear Luna, are you kidding? There is NO SUCH THING AS TMI for men when the topic is nipples! 🙂 Scotti [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nipples-nipples-nipples/38966.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nipples-nipples-nipples/38966.md?page=4)
