> [@Clockwork And Candy](#): > > Yeah, it’s actually pretty common over there. Supposedly pink nipples signify youth and virginity-- or something. And since a lot of women have brown nipples bleaching is the way to go. I’ve seen a few pictures of this Japanese nipple bleach cream, but I’ve forgotten it’s name and google turns up nothing. It’s an over-the-counter topical application though. You don’t need a prescription. I’m sure you could also get it professionally done too So is this treatment permanent or do you need to keep applying the cream indefinitely? ---

> [@](#): > > …Supposedly pink nipples signify youth and virginity… Really? Because _my_ nipples are pink and I’m old and… well, let’s just say ‘not a virgin.’ The nipple bleaching thing is weird, definately. But the asshole-bleaching thing is Just F-ing Weird. ---

You know, I _like_ non-pink nipples. Brown nipples are sexy. Pretty much any nipple color that I’ve seen is sexy. (I also like pink nipples). ---

In this August 2004 article, they show a bottle of this alleged nipple bleaching cream called “Liberty Virgin Pink Special” [http://www.bintmagazine.com/bint\_stories/500.php?story\_id=174](http://www.bintmagazine.com/bint_stories/500.php?story_id=174) > [@](#): > > In among the numerous penis enlargement medicines, anti-depressants and diet pills in cyber chemist land, I recently came across a new product invented by the Japanese. A special cream designed to fight the ravages of time… on your nipples. But this cream doesn’t lift or smooth. It rejuvenates by bleaching the nipples to a youthful, rosy pink. In a world where people dye their hair, iron their hair, curl their hair, and pierce their bits, is nipple bleaching really as weird as all that? This cream promises to “bring the pinkness of youth back into women’s nipples”. ---

based on my 20+ years in north asia…well, IF it happens Japan would be the place. just checked with a single japanese american colleague in tokyo. has not encountered this phenomenon but will get on the case. he did report darker nipples implies sleeping around. ---

I _know_, **Rigamarole**! I saw a thing on TV about it (the anal bleaching) – I don’t remember the show or channel – and I was just in shock. “Hey! What’s that woman having done to her ass? She’s _bleaching her asshole!?!__Damn_!” After 45 years, I _know_ the world’s a weird place, full of damned weird people… The details still have the ability to shock me, though! ---

Geez. You know, if I actually ever manage to get it on with a hot asian chick (crossing fingers her), only to discover that she’d managed to ruin a perfectly nice set of nipples by freaking \*bleaching \*them, I think I would be turned off rather prontissimo. Then again. I feel the same way about any those bizarre silicone implants that some chicks put in to ruin their perfectly good boobs. Perhaps I’m just out of touch with the world. ---

> [@The Controvert](#): > > Nipples darken after a pregnancy. (I can’t believe I’m posting to this thread…) Oh, I see…never had kids. But you can get pregnant after only having had sex once. So it doesn’t really correlate to sleeping around. But then, I’m expecting sense from these kinds of people. And I just noticed this is in GQ. I honestly didn’t notice it before. Question’s been answered, and I’ll stop needlessly hijacking it for my shock and surprise. ---

God knows I’ve seen plenty of porno pics where the girl could really use some anal bleaching.
