Uh…if I quote Shakespeare, can all of you just imagine as far as the English accent goes?
“With this, he breaketh from the sweet embrace,
Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast,
And homeward through the dark laund runs apace;
Leaves Love upon her back deeply distress’d.
Look, how a bright star shooteth from the sky,
So glides he in the night from Venus’ eye.”
–Venus and Adonis (emphasis added)
What a thing to wake up to…shakespeare and an English accent. sigh
damn, now I do have to go to work and deal with Latin guys all day. It’s just not the same.
Alright, quit flirting! We were talking about nipples, darn it! 
I saw those fake nipple things and I thought - you know that’s a look I"m trying to avoid, not enhance. (btw, I have small breasts, too)
In addition to the nipple issue, the other day, I had taken my son to a birthday party and one of the moms was wearing a white polyester knit shirt…and you could tell she was wearing a leopard print bra underneath. I’m a little confused by this fashion statement (mother always said to wear a beige or cream colored bra under white shirts) and I sure don’t object to fun bras, but the combination somehow just didn’t click. Or maybe I’m hopelessly unhip.
“Good night, good night!
parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night
till it be morrow.”
–Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene ii
You’re right, of course. I humbly apologize! Let’s get this back on topic:
“give me the ocular proof!”
–Othello, Act 3, Scene iii
Indeed.
English accents make my nipples hard.
Well, hey. I gave my real reply to the OP ages ago, long before this degenerated into a thread about Englishmen (mmmmm…degenerate Englishmen) and their accents.
I should point out that I never hesitate to mention when someone’s nipples are hard. If it’s cold out, you’ll see me tilt my head down for a moment, then tilt back up and I’ll nonchalantly announce, “Your nipples are hard.” Depending on who I’m with, either much embarrassment or much amusement will result.
I equate it with someone’s fly being down or their pocket protector leaking… it’s another opportunity to draw attention to something that doesn’t get enough attention.
Similarly, I’d expect people to immediately comment if I ever got a boner in public (not that I ever do get erect in public… or that people would ever notice).
Hoo boy… you think the nipple thing is bad in the US? Move to the Northwest Territories. Or here to the Rockies.
I had a friend comment to me last week (pre-move) that he thought it apt for me to take the boulders to the mountains.

Well seeing how this thread has been hijacked to England and back a few times and anybody who was going to give a meaningful answer has, I’ll summarize the data as it relates to my original OP.
" ie - When women wear sheer blouse + bra combinations or light sweaters to the office and their nipples are quite prominent in this clothing do women reflect for even for a passing moment on the effect this may have on men or this (be honest) not normally even on the radar screen of considerations? ie “I’ve got prominent nipples deal with it.”
The answers were varied but a few themes emerged.
Women are usually quite well aware if their nipples are sticking out noticeably but as this is part of biology are pretty much resigned to it.
Some nipples are slackers and don’t stand at attention.
Lsura: Myself, I don’t consider it-but I do know that I have one top that I wear that creates lopsided nipple hardness. My right one gets hard and the left one ignores the shirt. I don’t get it.
Some are sharply defined enough to be used for arts and crafts projects.
Creaky: I certainly do think about it. My gosh, mine will cut glass when they’re, uh, awake, as it were. I generally remedy the situation with padded bras. (Also ups the ole cleavage quotient.)
But there are, of course, times when a girl wants to wear a see-through blouse and make a point.
Or two. If you know what I mean.
Some prominent nipples appreciate discretion.
Heloise: I don’t necessarily think about the affect it has on men. Mine are prominent and unless I’m wearing a padded bra, there’s nothing I can do about it. And I don’t always like a padded bra, especially in the summer season. So, my opinion would just be, try not to be too obvious if you must look.
Some are eager bearers of good will and universal fellowship.
Tansu: We’re having a spot of building work done at my place of work. A couple of weeks ago, I was greeted with a very jolly “Good morning!” from one of the builders. Friendly bloke, I thought. As I approached the main entrance, I could see my reflection in the glass of the front door. Not only was there prominent nipplage, there was also bounce and indeed jiggling. Oh well. It’s nice to know that even small breasts can brighten up a chap’s day.
Some nipples are simply bothersome, stubbornly asymmetrical food delivery systems.
Hamadryad: Fer cryin’ out loud, they’re just nipples. Personally, I ceased entirely to care whether people could see them or were looking at them when I was breast feeding my first kid…and just because more casual about it with the two subsequent kids. They’re just nipples. If people weren’t so careful to keep 'em covered, padded, fluffed, prodded…they wouldn’t be any big deal. What, I’m supposed to wear masking tape over the damned things just in case a construction worker or 7-11 clerk might get an inadvertent thrill? Whatever. It is sort of a pain in the ass (chest) to line them up so they’re symmetrical in the brassiere, though.
Some women have to deal with wearing their panties on their head and nipples are a meaningless side issue.
Celestina: Oh, for the love of heaven, people! I’m lucky if I can get out of the house and show up at work with my panties on my head, my bra on my butt, and my shoes on my hands! Do you mean to say that on top of all that I have to be concerned about whether or not my nipples are showing and agitating men? I can’t take it anymore! [celestina puts her head in her hands and weeps in frustration at the injustice of it all]
Some uber-nipples will not be ignored or hidden.
Gundy: I have the sort of nipples that stand at attention at the slightest breeze. They’re visible through some padded bras, and even thick sweaters. And according to my boyfriend, all of my clothing is tight - so that doesn’t help matters. I think about it only if someone is blatantly staring at my chest, and then I get self-conscious, maybe throw on a cardigan. If not, well, who cares. I’m not going to wear baggy clothes and an inch-thick padded bra to hide 'em. I have to admit, I get the giggles when I notice a man is cold, though.
Some nipples work in harsh conditions.
Kricket: You know, just the other day while at work I looked down and realised that they were standing at attention. This is through two shirts mind you. Well, it might have something to do with the fact that I work in a big refrigerator and it is 40 degrees in there all the time. It is the same with me for the most part like what Mistress Dryad said, but you see I work with a lot of men. Team that with working third shift, and you get a lot of tired freaky people.
And finally some nipples are anglophiles.
Betenoir: Indeed. English accents make my nipples hard.
To sum up my hypothesis was confirmed and the main female perspective is “They’re nipples. Deal with it”. Thank you to all respondents.
Hey, do you guys think I can get workmans comp for that?
