Bras do stave off back problems. *Scratches head.* It's not really the "sag" that most girls worry about, last I heard. It's the fact that two very large lumps of fatty tissue rest on their chest (that happen to resemble a butt) weigh on their body in ways it's not really meant to be weighed on yet. (I'm sure evolution is on this, though.) Bras balance where the weight is held, though it's not enough to prevent most lower back problems.

I have a friend (truly tiny person, truly huge chest) who wears bras because if she didn't, her back would be in a constant state of pain. This construction would make things worse. As it is, she's fifteen and has some serious back problems already.

Now, for a smaller-chested woman, this wouldn't be an issue. But once you hit C it gets iffy. C is bigger than you think. And the smaller-chested women are the ones who don' have massively uncomfortable combination-lock bras that happen to be difficult to remove with one hand.

Though the question is, what kind of injury would cause them to break said bone? It's not a large bone, really, and it's kinda' flexy as far as bones go. Kinda' like ribs.

They're also padded by more than one layer of flesh. What kinda' log do they have to fall on to break it you think? *Speculates quietly.*

Oh, they've had those for awhile - they use them in men who have lost all hope of normal erections to allow them some ability to engage in sexual intercourse. It's not so much a stiff rod [snigger] as a thick, braided cord that can be bent to convenient postion to do the deed, but stiff enough not to bend at embarissing times. Well, it doesn't do that too often.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

And now I have the thought that these guys thought of this painful idea just so they'll be able to see women's nipples through their clothing without a bra getting in the way.

for sure. I have larger breasts than my sister yet she's the one who needs a bra more, but our breasts are equally firm though shaped a bit differently and I think her's are still filling out. Generally speaking, if I'm not playing sports I don't really need a bra, and the main purpose they serve is to keep my nipples from showing through my clothes.

Don't tell me, you're larger all around? Makes a really big difference.

She has larger breasts and slightly curvier hips than I do, but that's it. I'm actually only an inch taller & a few pounds heavier than my sister and I have broader sholders, but other than that we're pretty much identical. A few years ago before I grew my last inch or so (and before my sis' boobs filled in) we were actually mistaken for identical twins by quite a few people.

I know a few men that know more about breasts than most women I know.

'Course, they're the ones that, like me, sit and read their books incessantly. One of them just happens to be a smidge obsessed, and can tell a woman her bra size by hugging her.

Well it's a legit question! How the hell do you break a penile bone, when the penis itself gets dragged into the body and is even further padded?

And now for the serious answer - They've been on swimming teams together for years so will have seen each other naked in the showers quite a bit.

On second thoughts, let the 70's porno music commence. :)

Probably.

Despite the physical activities I engage in I don't really see a need to put titanium implants in my body any time soon. I am a bit dubious about putting anything unnecessary inside myself no matter what it is, and a bra works just fine for all conceivable physical activity, at least for me at any rate.

I can tell a woman's bra size by removing the bra and reading the label... of course once the bra's off who cares about the size? :twisted:

Yah.

You got these two weights attached to your chest, so activities involving abrupt acceleration (jumping, running, etc.) make them yank on your skin and pectoral muscles and what not. It ranges from uncomfortable to downright painful. A bounce or two might be alright, but not as a continual thing. Bras keep things under control.

A large breasted woman who never wears a bra will eventually beome a long breasted woman, like the ones you sometimes see in nature specials on quaint, "primative" people. So yeah, the prevent sagging, too - but certainly most athletic women wear them to avoid discomfort/pain as the immediate concern.

1) Male sees attractive female
2) Exposes and readies penis for action
3) Attempts intercourse
4) Female - either not quite ready or for whatever reasoning not desiring that particular male - kicks male in genitalia to discourage him and in the process breaks his penis bone.

I thought the penis is a giant blood vein/muscle, rather than a bone?
