Neither have I. 'Course, I’m usually too preoccupied at the time to take a moment and say to myself, "Hmmm, are my boobs bigger than they were before we started?  
My boyfriend is probably a bit too preoccupied as well, because he’s never brought it up. I should ask him sometime, “Honey, is it boobier in here, or is it just me?”

So, I don’t suppose there is much chance of there being a cooperative effort on the part of the Steaming Millions to get together and actually measure this important phenomenon.

You know, **Boobfest**! Bring your boobs, or a tape measure, and . . .

Naah. No one with actual boobs is gonna fall for that.

Nevermind.

Is that where you go into the booth with a copy of CIVILISATION and QUO VADIS so they won’t think you’re a pervert?

I don’t know … I might actually be that desperate. You have to _promise_ arousal, though. Otherwise I’m not coming. I mean, I’m not attending. Whatever.

I saw the documentry. I tested the theory, conclusion: true.  
You won’t notice it because by that time you shouldn’t have a bra on. It’s harder to notice by simply looking. I really did, ahem, test this and the 25% isn’t a huge difference but it’s noticable.  
It’s nice having a GF willing to advance the knowledge of science! 😃
