What is the point of breasts?

[Kjones27]

I have absolutely massive breasts. They are huge. And I'm only five foot 3.

They are so heavy. They are so hard to dress. I considered a breast reduction at one point but I decided I couldn't put myself through the surgery.

They are so heavy and huge.

And they just seem utterly pointless..their main reason to exist is to feed babies. I have never had children and never will have any. I don't want them.

I just think what's the point of them. I'm sure I read somewhere that most mammals only develop breasts after they have children.
That humans are very unusual to develop breasts and keep them for life.

After pretty extensive research, there’s a huge range of penis size. Far more than a couple of inches.

Like everything comes in different sizes 🙄

My chest is comparable to an ironing board with two fried eggs on it. I'm not one for waste and I always try and buy second hand so I reckon a 'boob buddy' system would be great. Those wanting reductions could donate the unwanted portion of boob to someone who would like more up top.
Less waste to incinerate, less plastic and silicon being used, seems very environmentally friendly to me!

I never wanted DC either and consider my reproductive system to be pointless. I've always thought it was a crying shame I couldn't have donated it to someone who was desperate for one that worked. Life is a bloody bitch like that though.

Oh give it a rest. I didn’t say anything about women’s issues, I commented on comparing with men’s issues, like it’s some pathetic game of one-upmanship . You obviously can’t read.

I’m not even responding to the wildly inaccurate drivel you’ve posted about men. What a load of rubbish.

I remember seeing that on one of those Channel 5 freak show documentaries. Most of it was some sort of cyst. He was in the states, basically disabled by them. Wasn't insured and couldn't afford to do anything about it.
I'm sure the documentary paid for his treatment in exchange for making the film.

You give it a rest.
You're on here telling women they're moaning about stuff wrong and making it harder for men to talk about their issues.

Nothing I said is widely inaccurate at all.
And pretty much every mens mental health campaign that I've seen compares mens struggles to womens struggles.

@Namechanged4obviousreasons
I don't care if you don't respond btw.
I just care that you're on a forum that's used predominantly by women and telling women that it's childish and silly to compare womens issues to mens issues, and that it's harming men to do so 🙄so your 'silliness' deserved to be called out.

So much truth on this thread.

It's an odd one.

I've always had very small breasts (I don't even know what size really because I've never worn a bra).

And as a young woman, it's seen as not womanly, gawd, the years I hoped for them to grow. All my friends has tits and a bra. I did not.

I was a late developer really, 15 when I started my periods. And my breasts stayed...

Very small.

I used to get 'You're so flat the walls are jealous'

And

Abigail, thin as a rail.

I didn't have boobs. I never had boobs.

I got to 20ish and realised that boobs just weren't for me.

And I realised that it was OK to not have tits. In the years of the Wonder-bra, I realised it was OK to have very small breasts.

So I leaned in, I wore sheer clothes and shirts and never, ever, a bra.

And then I met my husband and got pregnant, I gave birth to my son.

And I found myself left in a room, with my son beside me, and I thought, 'Well what are we going to do now?'

I just picked him up and put him to my breast.

And he fed! He suckled immediately.

And that was that.

I realised my tiny tits were OK.

And that is the story of my tiny breasts, my point being..

I quite liked them after that.

@Tetsuo
I'd got used to my small ones too so it was very strange when they grew out of nowhere in my 30s 😂
They're 32c and I do quite like them but I don't want them to get any bigger.

@kkloo I'm in my 50's now.

These fuckers ain't growing.

I'm very cool with it.

How old are you? I found from around the age of 38 I started to lose volume in mine. They'd always been fat and heavy up until that point, but now they're less plump and a hella lot lighter. It's bliss.

@HollyKnight I'm 50.

They're pointers.

Always have been.

I do have a broad chest though.

Mine have never pointed 🙁I went from no boobs to fat swinging boobs to less fat and even more swinging boobs . I was always jealous of the girls with perky ones. They age better.

I was like you as a teenager, but avoided all your later suffering by getting a breast reduction at 20 y.o. One of the best decisions of my life. Can't recommend it enough to you.

It's 'funny' how women relate to their breasts as they develop, that it seems to be how men relate to women's breasts, that matters.

I always wanted big tits, as a teen, because it got you noticed. Retrospectively, I didn't want big tits.

Makes life harder I guess.

Totally sympathise. I can never find comfortable and supportive bras (and yearn for perky bee-stings!). I know a few women who have had them reduced and feel much happier. What are your reservations?

Mine got lopped off a few years back and I really don’t have an issue with not having any (hence my user name). Goodbye bra shopping and under boob sweat and sleeping on my front is much more comfortable. BUT I have been gobsmacked by the number of people who have asked “what does your husband think about you not having boobs/does your husband not mind” etc. Telling them he would prefer me flat and alive doesn’t really seem to make them happy either.

Re your question about them changing during pregnancy.

You could argue before pregnancy they are to help draw a mate.

Once pregnant their function becomes more practical.

Mate selected, baby created, job done. Its now about keeping that baby alive.

Can I ask. Are natural breasts heavier than fake. I wear a 32ff and they aren't heavy at all.

It's an interesting question OP. We don't actually require breasts at all to feed babies, the nipples and ducts etc would do the same job with no breast tissue. Hence flat chested women can breastfeed too.

I would love a breast reduction more than anything but I’m a single mum, I can only work part time and I could never afford it 😭

Interesting. But I was flat chested before having a baby, I'd argue not particularly attractive on me - now they're big.

Ironically when I was flat chested I hated them and often wore padded bras. Now I look at flat chested women and think how cool/slim they look. My breasts are now really obvious in everything I wear and I don't love it/always look fatter than before. Turns out you just want what you don't have 😂

Yes, I had still had quite big boobs when I was a size 8.

Reading through the comments... chuckling at how many large boobed ladies want small ones, and then you get flat chested ladies wanting bigger ones ... and then there's the fake ones that we see predominantly in the sex industry, which has set the " norms " for pubescent lads who believe that their behaviour and body shape is what to expect from all women!!
Personally, I quite like having a curvy figure and big boobs . Yes, they do get in the way ... I do get back ache from the weight...and of course, especially in my younger years, had far more coversations directed to them rather than my face 🤣
But they are mine, they are part of my femininity, and despite the problems incurred at times, I've learned to love and accept them as part of being me !!
They are no sexier or better than anyone else's boobies no matter the size or perkiness!
I refuse to be moulded and misguided by fashion standards, telling me what shape, weight, size of bum or boob is revered as sexy. Who cares?
I'm sexy by just me, being confident and accepting the flaws as perfect inperfections ..

Girls - love you ! Love those boobs!!

But even when I put on weight and in pregnancy my breast never ir barely changed size. I've always had small boobs even when my bmi was 27 which is classed as overweight
