@stranger_in_a_strange_land @papayalily @SuperMouse @wilma With all the talking points; headlights (nipples) showing, comfort, modesty etc. looking at “bullets” maybe showing it is avoided because of personal discomfort or to spare the public discomfort? If one avoids it when the masses has not personally accosted then on it to me is to be shamed into it by indirect means. For centuries women had no bras to wear and in many nations around this green Earth of ours they still don’t guess they must be some immoral nasty women the hussies.
I guess women should get up from their rib eye and go to the ladies room to nurse a baby? If they don’t flop a cover over the little nipper’s head and the lip lock is broke more just “bullet” humps will get seen, maybe a “gasp” whole naked nipple.
@papayalily ” Many reasons: to prevent chaffing, to be proper, to be modest, to leave some mystery, to not be flashing their nipples, because the bra is cute, because the top she’s wearing needs it (perhaps see-through or a weird cut), because it’s easier to wear them all the time, because then if she gets undressed in front of someone it’s not all over in 30 seconds….” Sorry a few more things I would like to ask you to elucidate.
Chaffing: I guess many of the women I heard complaining about wearing a bra must have not known how to wear them. They seem to lament about the straps digging in their shoulder, the hot clammy feel in warm weather worse if it is also humid, bands, under wires, or some fastener pocking them, doesn’t seem all that comfortable to me.
To be proper: What is so proper about wearing a bra and what is so un-proper about wearing a bra? And who chooses the “proper” degree or action?
Leave some mystery: If she is your spouse or SO and you don’t know what her breast is like after 6 months together you are either cheating, Amish, or drunk to the point you can’t remember. Where is the mystery still?
Because the bra is cute: the only one seeing it is your spouse or SO and what would they care? If it is some booty call he won’t care either, he would as soon get you out of it in 30sec. flat than admire how cute it is. How cute it is has no value externally. Back in the day when I would chase a booty call I neve cared what he bra looked like and to this day can only remember one only because it made her look like some gold grandma type, took away from any sexy she had.
Changing in front of others: Unless your clothes were on fire or some other life saving action I would hope if you had to change in front of someone it would be other women, and they have what you have so it isn’t like their eyes will pop from their skull and drool running from the corners of their mouths because your twins were exposed for the time it took to change a shirt.
@Adirondackwannabe ”Men?” Nope, you are way out in the Adirondacks on that one (no pun intended), at least not with the majority of men I know and have spoken with. Bras are just one more thing to get out of the way or hide the goods nothing more.
ChazMaz The order as I seem to hear it is [1] headlight restriction; [2] bullet hump restriction; [3] thimble dimple prevention; take those three and regurgitate them 8 dozen more time then end up with prevent sagging and you have the order. :-)
@tedibear ” And they are preventing that issue, up to a point, by wearing a bra.” So the logic is to help the muscle and tendons do the job they were biologically geared to do for eons of time you have to prevent them it. I guess if I wanted to have a faster swimmer, sprinter, high jumper etc. I should keep them in a wheel chair or bed ridden so their muscle won’t be damaged by use. I would also logically have to say the men have a superior core than women because some of those men I see have chest many women pay big money for less the hair on the chest and around the nipples. If they can carry all that and not be droopy with back pains when they are old at least I have never heard any complain about it like women seem to men have to be better at it.
