Boobs - Discuss

So it’s obvs been a busy time for me, I blinked and it’s July and we have not chatted for ages.  Doesn’t mean that I have not been thinking about you all though, always in my mind you lot.  Makes it hard to get stuff done.

I wanted to discuss boobs today. We all have them – male or female, we have them.  And it seems that everyone loves them – gay, straight, male or female, everyone seems to love my boobs.  Opps well therein lies the reason I wanted to have this chat.  I know that we all love boobs, but does anyone else experience the level of attention that I do?

Growing up, it was clear that I was going to have big boobs.  By the time I was 16 I had D cups and found button up shirts a challenge.  Even when I was skinny, I still had boobs.  They were just there.  No matter how fit I was, they were still there.  I went to an all girl school and obviously there were other girls there with big boobs, so mine did not stick out.  I got the occasional tits on sticks remark, but didn’t really think much of it.

They got their fair share of attention in my 20’s (they once stopped traffic! And I was not even topless), but wow, they are getting more than their fair share in my 30’s.  And it seems to be a fairly universal event – my friends all seem to love them.  It’s like they have a personality and identity all of their own.  I have one friend who at some point every time she sees me – once a week – will just randomly reach out and touch one.  Once she even gently ninja kicked one.  I think that this is funny, but can see that if you were watching this exchange that you would think that it’s weird.  Once she even enticed another friend to brunch with the promise that they were now bigger!

I like to link arms with my friends as we walk down the street.  I do this with both male and female friends and have done so for a long time – mainly to keep warm in London.  I have never thought anything of this, until last year in Paris when I linked arms with a good friend… he proceeded to ask me why I was using his arm to rub my boob.  Ummm what?  I looked at him horrified and then realised that due to the height difference that yes, actually my boob was rubbing on his elbow.  I then looked horrified at my other very good friend, who I walk like this with all the time and asked if this was the case with him.  He reckons that he had never noticed.  But now routinely asks for a boob rub, whether it’s walking up the stairs or on the street – boob rubs happen.

All of that is fairly innocent – but then motorboats take it to a whole new level.  I have one friend who used to run down the street to meet me and proceed to bury her face in my cleavage.  Another friend would call us closeted.  Nope we just loved each other and each others boobs.  One of my male friends whilst talking to me in a pub, all of a sudden had his face in my cleavage – he was lucky I didn’t spill my drink on him, I was so amazed.  He then looked at me and just said ‘Sorry, I just had to do that.’  And then walked off.  And left a group of stunned people in his wake.  I started laughing and realised that this is just the effect that my boobs have on people.

I guess this is it.  Boobs are something that everyone can be positive about.  I used to work in a lingerie store, where we catered from D-L cup.  A number of woman felt that their boobs were a curse to them.  I like to think that by the time that I had fitted them into some freaking gorgeous lingerie that they felt a bit better about them.  We used to get people who wanted reductions referred to us to ensure that it was not just a case of never having had the right service.  I used to joke about a boob reduction once I had finished feeding my fictional kids.  After having had a number of unboob related surgeries over the last few years, I have changed my mind on that one.  I love my boobs the way that they are.  And clearly so does the world at large.


So answer me this – is it just me, or do you all get as much attention for your beautiful boobs!
