remember the green nylon nightie?

Well, I've yet to come across a representation of what it actually looked like, but in retrospect, I think this is what I felt like when I wore it (I just didn't know it yet :)

Strange the expectations you have about boobs before you actually have them. I remember my sister giving me one of her cast off bras, which was probably a Ccup, and looking at in in incredulous amazement - being me, I said, thanks, but I can't imagine I'll ever need a bra that big. Being my sister, she took offense, laughed bitterly and suggested that I might be surprised.

And... she was right.

God, women are beautiful.

I know. Her boobs are mesmerising. Oh, for breasts like that. Sigh*

Doesn't it look pretty against the turquoise blog, too? I love how pictures look against it.

I have to agree, women are so beautiful. So sensual and desirable, if that is the word. I understand my smallest boy's fascination with my breasts......

Well, we're born programmed to love them, find the by smell, take nourishment and comfort from them. Sadly we sexualised them because of this (in our culture at least) and made this homing instinct into something dirty... which probably fetished it. Ah, the complexities of the human psyche.

Hey, I'm pretty happy with my sexualised breasts. :-)

And I want to add, human breasts are NOT biologically evolved just for feeding purposes. If they were, they'd go away between bouts of babies, just like the teats on natural mammals. They've evolved to stay big year-round because they are sexual signals in our species.

I'm not saying they aren't sexual, Janine, of course they are. I also think one of the reasons we are aroused by them (as opposed to deriving pleasure from them) is that we connect them with very early inbuilt instincts.

I think sexualised is different to sexual though.
