quote: ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus Gosh, did you see those Mark & Olly shows, where the boys go hang with tribes? The PNG village headman tried to do it to one of them, and he about passed out. Whoops! (Even I felt some minor sympathy!) Nup. Well, I don't know about those tribes, but it came up on QI a while ago that the sumo practice of poking the balls back up there before a fight was a myth. They can get so close to the very top that they almost disappear (this I know from experience), but not get inside. Still, no doubt it's possible with assiduous practice from birth.

FR Has anyone ever actually weighed boobs? Is there a chart, somewhere, listing boob-sizes and average weights? A-googling I shall go. ETA: "Jan Wethersby has the following tip: Find a medium sauce pan that will fit over your breast with some room to spare. Fill this pan with water and set it in a larger pan. Bend over and submerge your breast completely in the water. Weigh the water that spilled into the large pan. Since flesh weighs about the same as water, this is a good approximation of your breast weight" Fascinating.

How titilating, I am going to give that a try when I'm extremely bored and there is no paint that I can watch drying...

The closest I've ever come to having them weighed is when the doc reduced mine and he said he removed about 5 lbs from each one. I was massive! I'd say what I have is probably 5 lbs combined.

It's just occurred to me that breasts must cause more painful to the lower back if they're higher rather than lower on the torso. If that's true, thank gawd for the southerly migration of ageing . . . .

Digital postage scale. Just a thought, not saying that the results are accurate...

LadyConstanze -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 2:53:54 AM)
I think men are far more obsessed with mammary glands than women can every be, we might want them bigger or smaller, but we don't think about them all that much...

PeonForHer -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 4:15:52 AM)
Quite possibly. Though I do think that women occasionally project such an obsession onto men. I can think of only one man I've met who actually went on about breasts - for an entire evening, once - but this is because he'd once grown a pair. His wife, who'd been prescribed oestrogen replacement pills for some reason, had been secretly putting them in his food. His doctor didn't take him seriously when he first visited him to complain of mood swings (bursting into tears even while watching adverts, for instance), but changed his mind when the breasts appeared. All of this man's friends had talked about having his wife up in court on charges of abuse or similar, but this man wasn't actually bothered. He'd found the whole experience so interesting.

LadyConstanze -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 5:36:23 AM)
Actually, you started a thread about female breasts, as far as I recall you are male... Now if I go out with H or other friends, none of the women start talking about the cleavage another woman displays or shout "Wow, have you seen the rack on that one?" For women breasts are just there, we got them (sizes and shapes may vary), it's a normal thing. Now if you look at magazines that display scantily clad women, often with fake breasts, who do you think buys those magazines? I am sure it's not women. During a regular day, how often do I think about breasts? Usually in the morning after a shower, but that's more which bra to wear with which clothes and making sure the bra straps don's show and a top doesn't display too much cleavage. Occasionally during the day if a guy stares at them with "Ugh, idiot staring at my boobs" fighting the impulse of saying "Aren't you weaned yet?" Once or twice a month during clothes shopping, same thoughts as I have when getting dressed, when I work out, if today is the day for upper body exercises, when I'm off inline skating or walking the dogs, then basically to make sure I wear a sports bra because it's more comfy. Otherwise - really not that much. Certainly not enough to wonder how much they weight, how to weight them or how some other woman's breasts change size due to her exercise regime - that is something that can be left to males, as you demonstrated here quite eloquently... Ooops, I hope I didn't project an obsession on you, you really don't need more of that...

PeonForHer -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 8:49:53 AM)
Lady C, OK. I started this thread in a light-hearted tone but, on reflection, that was pretty clumsy of me. It's obviously not a light-hearted subject for some, and I don't blame them. So, apologies for that. Me and my size tens - wouldn't be the first time. For what it's worth: sometimes I come from a very childlike place in order to understand certain things about people who are different to me. (E.g. if they happen to be women.) I zero in on the 'taken-for-granted' things. For a long while, for instance, I latched upon the thoughts of 'What is it like to belong to the sex that is smaller than the other?', 'What's it like to think of God as the opposite sex to yours?'. And a more recent one: "When a woman has (standard, vanilla) sex, a part of someone else's body goes inside hers.' (Jesus! That's unfathomable - all the possible ramifications of it!) As it goes, I have a friend for whom her chest - call her 'Jane' - was always an issue because it was so large. Like you, she used to wear huge jumpers to cover it and it was the source of misery for many years for her. Once, whilst shopping in a supermarket with a mutual female friend, said friend told that she'd look much better if she were to walk with her back straight. Jane burst into tears. She'd always walked with a stoop in order to hide her chest. Not really surprising, if men had commented on it, or even if so many salacious pictures of women's chests were thrust at them all her lives. I've not grown up being aware of a daily picture of 'The Page 3 Cock' in a tabloid newspaper - sometimes, it can feel like a different world. Soon after that supermarket incident, Jane did a business trip to New Mexico and, whilst there, got her chest reduced. I guess there's no point in my saying that none of her male friends, myself included, had really taken it on board that she'd had a large chest in the first place? True, though. TBH, we'd noticed her stoop and some of us had commented that it was odd that she had such thin legs while being apparently chubby about her top half. We'd never, not even during summer, seen her without a huge jumper on. Another FWIW: I don't mix with any men who comment loudly on any woman's chest. I don't have crude male friends. Well, not crude within the sight or hearing of other women, nor men we consider to be shitty about the subject with women.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 9:49:38 AM)
Well I like my girls, though as I said, it was nice when they were smaller, from a clothes-buying standpoint. It's nice that they stick out the furthest in front (makes me feel thinner, ha!) I love the bewbie hugs with my grrrlies. It's inconvenient that I pretty much always have too much cleavage, and so much of my wardrobe is not work appropriate. What the hell do I know, page 23 girl and all... [;)]

LadyConstanze -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 12:41:30 PM)
Peon, for most women it is a sensitive issue, I tell you, as a teen if I would have had the money, yes, I would have gone to New Mexico or wherever, I possible would have taken any quack just to get rid of them. Try growing up as a lanky teen with massive boobs that you can't hide, jokes about laying face down in cold water so the milk won't turn sour, Kate Moss the beauty icon of the decade, guys commenting if you got lead soles to keep the balance, the bras that were available were looking like contraceptive devices, overpriced and about as sexy and in the same colour as the brown hospital bandages, being in shops and trying to squeeze into the regular range, usually available until D and have some small chested girls walk by and refer to the bras as circus tents, yes, really working well for self-confidence... You want to know every "funny" name for big tits in there? I possibly heard them all, and of course there's always the old myth that if you lose weight they will go down in size, tried that, I was anorexic and still had huge knockers, I learned to live with back pain, yoga and strengthening your back muscles helps, though herniated disks are never quite the same, isn't that funny? You know every teenage picture I have of me is with my hands crossed in front of my chest, fucking hilarious, you tell male friends about it and they say "bet you never lack attention if you go out or have to buy your own drink" - oh it's comedy gold to be reduced to a pair of tits. Now come on, give me the you are so different, after all you only call them melons and start a thread about "big uns" of course you're not like the average guy at all, you are a fucking saint who never notices tits. And how about you pull the other leg? It might have bells on, maybe right after you put your family jewels in some water that hangs over a pan and measure their weight, now wouldn't that be just hilarious?

And how about you pull the other leg? It might have bells on, maybe right after you put your family jewels in some water that hangs over a pan and measure their weight, now wouldn't that be just hilarious? Firstly, I didn't see much difference between calling them 'melons' and the more common name here of 'boobs' or 'boobies'. All are silly terms, really. Secondly, I didn't start a thread about 'big 'uns', nor did I use any other term that referred to breasts in some half-joking-half-lustful way. Thirdly, I didn't say I never notice tits. I did say that I didn't entirely take in the size of a particular female friend's chest. Fourthly, It's never occurred to me to weigh my goolies in that manner - partly because the weight of a man's tackle is very rarely a problem for him. It certainly isn't for me. (But I might do it, just out of interest, one night when I'm bored. Or upon request. Heh. I don't expect I'll need a pan will be required, though - probably a coffee mug will do. Or at least a generously-sized eggcup.) And what I said about my day-to-day view of breasts, and that of my friends, was simply the truth. That, you'll have to just take or leave. I can't see that we have a conversation if you refuse to accept what I've said as honest. Again, I'm sorry if I inadvertently blundered on a sensitive issue for yourself or for anyone else. I can't see that I can say more than that.

LadyConstanze -> RE: Melons (6/14/2012 1:41:02 PM)
Oh ffs, read what you wrote and be honest, if not here, then at least to yourself, yeah, calling them melons is so much fucking better who are you kidding? Oh you are not the average male, of course not, you are fucking saintly Peon and therefore you can make comments about whatever you like and it has to be accepted and whoever gets hurt by sexism and blatant insensitivity, just their fucking fault as they "don't get you", so melons is alright but dick is offensive, funny, most guys call their penis dick.., Oh but you are the sensitive type, which usually means that it is quite alright to hurt other people's feelings, but beware if they don't see the funny side of it, then they are insensitive. How would you feel if your testicles would be quite visible and women would feel free to comment on their size, shape and dangling?

Lady C, I've been honest, I've told you where I've been coming from. 'Melons', for me, isn't a better word, it's just a silly word, like 'tits', 'boobs', 'bewbies', 'girls' - other words that women here have used . . . . And I know that I'm anything but 'saintly'. I haven't demanded that you see the funny side of a thing about which you feel sensitive, nor would I. That would be shitty behaviour on my part - one of the more insidious kinds of bullying, for me, actually. People have their corns; I know that - and I try not to step on them. I haven't commented on any particular woman's breast shape or size, nor would I. In fact you won't find any comment from me anywhere on CM that shows what I like or dislike about any given breast shapes or sizes, even in general. I have apologised, twice, for being insensitive. You're attacking a straw man, now.

Thinking more about it - that is a very good point. Not the thing about people being free to comment - they're not or shouldn't be, of course - but the position of breasts on the body. As well as their size (relative to men's parts), they're so high up, I mean. A man's 'private parts' stop below his navel, well below the eyeline. It's next to unimaginable for me. Yes, I would indeed hate that. FWIW.
