Current Mood:  hot

Today I am feeling lazy and fat. It has gotten too hot too soon. We've gone from winter to summer in just a week. There was no spring. :(
A topic that someone else bought up, perked my interest. It is one that I have long wondered over. The topic of wearing bras.
Do we have to wear bras? In my opinion, no. I understand that bigger breasted women have to out of necessity, but small to medium sized?
I think making flat chested 8-12 wear bras to stop them getting saggy breasts is a bit overkill. And what's the big deal anyway? All breasts are going to head south sooner or later. I think, if a man likes your breasts more than he likes you, he's not worth the trouble. Seriously, do woman even care how their boyfriend/partner is hung, if one nut is hanging lower than the other, or if his old fella is looking left or right. I mean, who cares what his package looks like, it's the man you love, isn't it??
So what then, is the big deal with breasts and the big panic should they even look like sagging? Most girls have steady partners long before the breasts head south, so probably wouldn't be showing them to all and sundry anyway.
Yes yes, I know. Perky breasts are all the rage, and having perky ones at the age of 30-40 is sooo sexy and so are a must have item. Truely I don't believe there's a lot of difference if you wear a bra or not.
Take me for instance. My breasts have always been of medium size. I have run a lot, climbed or hiked mountains, been a jockey, been a jillaroo, waited on tables in alpine restaurants and inner city cafe's, and I've done all this without EVER having worn a bra. I was never ridiculed or molested for going natural and my breasts didn't head south prematurely either. :) I didn't start wearing one until I became pregnant and my breasts did get larger and in the way.
I breast fed 4 kids and took the bra of between each child and not until the last couple of years have they started looking south. They are still medium sized, though a big medium now that I've put on weight and I still don't wear a bra unless I want to, because I really don't care what other people think of my breasts. :)
That's the thing, isn't it? Women should have the choice, if they want to wear one or not. They shouldn't feel pressured into putting one on, for fear of glances, snide remarks and the cold shoulder from her partner.
They can be torturous bits of clothing and very uncomfortable, and I'm sure a man is behind the inventing of them. So how would they know?
What if some women invented push-up jocks or this sort of jock or that sort of jock and made men wear them? What if we told them they had to wear them as to better display their package and tell them all the same things they tell us, as to why we HAVE to wear a bra. If they were really painful and uncomfortable to wear, you can be sure there'd be riots.
I'm not against wearing bras, I just think it should be a womans choice if she wants to wear one or not...just as she chooses to wear any other piece of clothing.
