Always have, always will. I rarely wear one, and then it is usually because I am wearing something white or thin and want to stay legal. I feel like if someone doesn't like it, then they can look me in the eye instead of staring at my aged, sagging boobs.

Can you imagine telling an adolescent boy that he has to wear an uncomfortable jockstrap all day every day for the rest of his life or his balls are gonna sag?

Move to Ontario - going topless is legal - you'd never have to wear one again.

i love the sight of hanging tits.

Gravity is what it is, dear. Balls big enough to sag would be pathological.

I feel chilly without my bra. I consider it extra insulation!

And also, my breasts get unusually sore, swollen and tender each month (fibrocystic--it's beyond the average level of cyclical tenderness); without a bra the pain is a lot worse.

I need to start by saying that I totally and completely understand, and wouldn't begrudge you the decision to go without one. They look like they could be hugely uncomfortable. The jockstrap thing is a non-issue, also: they aren't that uncomfortable to a lot of guys, especially those who wear tidy whities, and balls go south regardless...just like boobs. Still, your point is valid and taken.

Having said that, I have to say that I LOVE bras. I mean, I love a woman in a bra and no blouse. I think a lot of men do. They're a kind of peekaboo device, and one of those reasons that men read the Vicky's Secret catalog 10 to 1 over women - it's a turn on. Flowery, lacy, sheer - whatever. Guys are visual. Bras can be sexy.

Other than the peekaboo thing, though, I have no idea why.

Counterpoint: I like, equally, the look of bralessness under a blouse. Again, it's a peekaboo thing, very sexy, all that jiggle and little poky looking bumpy and pointy parts.

What the fuck is wrong with men? Why are nipples so damn cool? Boobs, functional devices when feeding our young, can cause men to salivate and shiver and become erect just by looking at them. I am not immune. Wierd. Just wierd. Whatever.

For you, I say "more power to you."

As in hanging be gone ya's.?lol

...after a while you grow out of the toddler stage and you wanna see what you could be workin with.

....a bra helps with the back problems that big breasted women suffer. a bra will also protect the skin and keep it young. old women make great antique hunting when they're nekkid, 'cause the areas that aint covered are wrinkled and weather worn, but the stuff under wraps is in almost original condition, if it's been maintained. just like an austin healey 3000 that's been hermetically sealed in some barnyard.

and I would never disrespect you and look you in the eyes.

YTH

I will like... totally forego the hooters (bra-clad or otherwise) if'n you'll only turn me on to the location of the shrink-wrapped 3000!

To this day, I am not above peeking in the glassless window of a rural client's old barn or shed in the hopes of seeing the tarp-covered shape of something rare-n-collectable. Ol' panhead... '57 Vette... '53 Dodge pick-up... I ain't picky.

Ladies come and ladies go, takin' their hooters with 'em.
But a treasure worth restoring? Now that's something.

reminds me of a joke. an old dad married to fox is sittin on the front porch with his college-age son. the kid is heartbroken because his cheer-leader girlfriend just dumped him without reason. he says to his son, women are like presents. some are packaged real nice, and some come in a plain paper bag. but you know what son, when you open up your present, it's always the same old shit.

"Just remember:
No matter how beautiful and vivacious she may appear to you, somewhere there is a guy that is totally sick of her shit!"

So- am I bitter, cynical, or just "aware"?

Summer well, and be safe!
