Okay, I realize that at age 42 this should not surprise me. However, I had rather an enlightening experience today. I’m an OR nurse and we had some breast implants that had expired. Rather than throw them away, we decided to play with them. We inflated them with tap water to a ridiculous size, and I stuck them in bra. Now, I’m fairly modestly endowed, so this was quite obvious on me. There was one of two reactions. The women would startle, then start to laugh, because, you know, it was a joke. The men, on the other hand, **uniformly** , got this delighted expression on their faces, and then just. kept. staring. And I thought…“Really!? These are obviously a joke…not mine…not real!” And yet all the men would not stop staring at me. All of them…from the 18 year old techs, to the mid-fifties surgeons. I really don’t think I’d realized before now how very much men like boobs. ---

Breast implants can EXPIRE?!? :eek: I’ve never been happier about having natural breasts than I am right now. ---

I read a little article a couple of years ago by a lady who spent a week or so with false breasts and recorded the (predictable) reaction. Sort of like “Stacked like Me.” ---

Oh yes, they’re actually designed so the surgeon can add saline during the procedure to achieve the desired effect. ---

Sort of like “Stacked like Me.” You know, I wore those things for an hour, max, and the reaction I got actually gave me a real insight into why women get these. The male attention was…rather intense. From professional men, whom I deal with on a professional basis, who **know** that these were essentiallly water filled balloons. ---
