As long as I have access to a set I’m pretty content.

I guess that makes me a gourmand.

My girlfriend has beautiful, just-cuppable-with-the-hand-size breasts. They’re magnificent, they’re perfect. And I tell her this all the time, but she still doesn’t believe me.

Well, Sam Hell, I’m here to poke you–excuse me, your theory that is.

“large breasts are a) not as sensative (I’ve heard) and b) I’d think, be more difficult to, ah, work around (people stare, clothing should be selected more carefully, ect)”

Mine are incredibly sensitive (I’m an F cup) and I’ve been working around them fairly well for years now. I used to be a D, but seem to have had the opposite experience from Kiki–gained a cup size with each child. Guess it’s a good thing I didn’t have too many more than just the two!

Granted, they do get in the way and may be higher maintenance than small breasts: I’ve never seen the point to putting a napkin in my lap when my continental shelf catches anything I may drop. Bras are outrageously expensive–around $40.00 for a good one. Sports bras are even more expensive–$60.00 for my stop motion bra (I kid you not, that’s what it’s called in the catalog and it really works.) But I’m very pleased with what I’ve got, what they can do, and the pleasure they give me so I wouldn’t do anything to change them.

I generally only like the real kind, and prefer only two per user. Other than that it’s not a terribly important facet of my life.

It depends on the female. I like em all, as a general rule. But nothing below A or above D, as a standard.

Proportionate and well-shaped. Too big, too small, and saggy really turn me off.

Sorry, Charl–er, Sam. 😉 Mine are large and round and incredibly sensitive.

As for the bra problem, I gave up on the silly things years ago because 1) they’re uncomfortable and 2) the pretty ones are hard to find in larger sizes. So I let my puppies loose, which men seem to like, and when I want constraint/support, I wear a corset.

Hmmn… is a larger cock less sensitive, I wonder?

I like the long, pointy kind. The ones that curl up and look like bananas! Oh Yeah! The ones where she can bend over and swing em around! Oh Yeah! The ones I can just wrap around my dick!

The song “I.L.B.T.s” by Joe Walsh has been playing in my head while reading this thread.

How do I like them? However I can get them.

If I were a woman and had them I would get absolutely no work done whatsoever. I would just be staring at them all day long.

I’ve seen polls on analingus (rimming), testicles, and now boobs. If this continues, I’m starting a penis poll. I mean it.

Funny, that’s sort of how I would feel if I were a man. 😉

I’d just like to say my boobs are pretty damn nice. Really. I’ve gained new appreciation for them after all the nekkid pictures I’ve seen online.

No. No pix (for _you_ to see at least).

I like boobs that look like boobs, not inflated balls, and I tend to think those with small areolas are prettier. Overly implanted or overly saggy are equally icky.
