To look at other women's boobs

HoorayForBoobies · 14/09/2017 23:14

I'm a happily married, reasonably heterosexual woman. I say reasonably because although I've only ever had relationships with men, and largely fancy men, I have had the odd crush on a woman. Probably 97% to 3% kinda thing! My crushes on women are always a bit star-struck rather than sexual too.

Anyway, the reason I outline the above is that throughout my life I can't stop glancing at boobs! I don't know if this is a normal thing that happens to everyone. It's not at all in a sexual thrill way. It's kind of just interesting I suppose? Obviously I try not to as it's a private body part, but from time to time it just happens as they are right there up front. I had lunch with a friend today and as we sat down I accidentally glanced down at her boobs (really accidentally, I was just moving my eyes around, no thought behind it) and then she caught my eye and I knew that she knew I had looked at her boobs (you know how you just KNOW when someone is looking at your boobs) but she's a new friend so I couldn't say 'Oops, just looked at your tits' and laugh about it, so I spent lunch feeling a bit awkward.

Does this happen to anyone else? Again, not at all a sexual thrill, I just kinda find boobs interesting and cool.

Hmm
MaidOfStars · 14/09/2017 23:26

I'm am a less heterosexual woman than you (by your own scale). And I would say that I have looked at boobs specifically to get/provoke a sexual thrill.

But, you know, not when the owner of said boobs is not onside with it all. Otherwise, well, you're just perving.

Are we all meant to share now?

Wtf.. Confused

FrustratedTeddyLamp · 14/09/2017 23:28

Ok OP Glitterball

HoorayForBoobies · 14/09/2017 23:30

I'm not kidding - I've always wondered if everyone looks or if I have some kind of weird boob issue. Grin Hey, if you can't ask anonymous strangers on the internet, who can you ask?

I'm a regular, n/c for obvious reasons.

Get back to freshers week there's a drunk with your name on it.

HoorayForBoobies · 14/09/2017 23:32

And if you don't look at boobs, how do you avoid looking at boobs? When I'm talking to a man, my eyes will just generally rest on his face and possibly flick over his upper body (I KNOW it sounds weird written out, I'm just trying to describe those random eye movements that our eyes make when we talk to someone - you don't stare fixedly at their faces) but when it's a woman I don't know where to look. Maybe that's the issue - I'm just incredibly awkward.

I'm not a fan of drunks! Wink I'm a middle aged teetotal person. I didn't even go to my own freshers week, back in the day. Grin

Joey7t8 · 15/09/2017 09:02

My girlfriend - heterosexual obviously - admires women's boobs. She'll sometimes even nudge me or squeeze my hand to bring my attention to a particularly impressive pair.

TheChampagneGalop · 15/09/2017 09:03

Sure.

Dalphidol · 15/09/2017 09:05

Umm no.. and I'm bi. I don't want to be like a sleazy man and reduce a woman to their body parts. They're for feeding babies, not to give people a sexual thrill.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 15/09/2017 09:05

I love to be objectified by strangers. Forget me - just focus on my boobs! I particularly love it when my women friends stare at them when we're chatting over coffee.

Unihorn · 15/09/2017 09:07

I do it too although I've had girlfriends in the past. I've also pointed them out to my husband. I've never really thought anything of it.

Bonelessbanquet · 15/09/2017 09:08

I find myself looking at arses Blush not in a pervy way, I just hate my own and get jealous of a good bum!

Dulra · 15/09/2017 09:08

Ok I sort of get where you're coming from and I am quite frankly surprised others don't. As women we are constantly checking each other out comparing ourselves to others aren't we? I am extremely flat chested have always been and sometimes when I see a set of boobs say in a revealing top or something I do have a quick glance mainly out of envy because it is something I never had but would love to have had so it is more for admiration reasons than sexual iykwim

Neverknowing · 15/09/2017 09:08

Not specifically boobs but I do look at women more than men. I'd say I'm 100% straight I just find it interesting how people dress for their body types!
Also, say someone had clearly been working out a lot I appreciate their muscle etc. It's almost somethingI aspire to / appreciate in other women Smile
I wouldn't worry about your friend she probably brushed it off as most people would !

Dulra · 15/09/2017 09:12

histinyhandsarefrozen Dalphidol. So neither or you ever check another person out that you find attractive? I seriously doubt it so time get down off your high horse about this the op never said anything about demeaning people are objectifying them she just mentioned she likes looking at other peoples boobs so what! She may however want to be a bit more discreet about it

candypanda283 · 15/09/2017 09:13

Sorry, we won't be entertaining your erection today.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 15/09/2017 09:14

I do. I look at the whole person. I don't fixate on people's tits. Hoorah for boobies! I don't want people - especially those I don't find attractive -
fixating on mine.

GoodEggGertie · 15/09/2017 09:14

I definitely check ppls boobs out when they're impressively big/shaped/on display etc. Can't help it & think it's natural. I also think everyone else is fibbing/unconscious of if they say they don't - I work with eye trackers & I know 100% that all ppl look at others boobs, crotches, bums etc. It's very funny to watch the results of an eye tracking experiment with someone who swears blind they don't look anywhere other than ppls faces

LittleBooInABox · 15/09/2017 09:14

I do occasionally look at boobs. I'm bisexual though. So it's obvious!
