What ever happened to breast implants ?

    I know two girls with implants. Both look better for it in my opinion.

    Both were fairly flat chested. One went marginally larger, barely noticeably so (they protrude about an inch, i'd say. Hardly worth bothering with in my opinion) and the other went full on 'porn star' tits. They're huge. And amazing. And I encourage all women to do the same! :D

    Maybe females realised that lads actually don't care what size their tits are and consequently stopped getting them done. I like breasts as much as the next man but I don't care if my future wife looks like an 11-year-old boy in the tit department.

    I had to stop watching certain porn stars because they got breast implants.

    Aletta Ocean is a good example pf that and I think I actually cried when Melissa Lauren got hers.

    If Brianna Love gets them, I'll never watch porn again in protest!

    I predict a resurgence in these yokes once the Celtic Tiger 3.0 kicks off in earnest next year. Girlies will once again have the disposable income to pay some lad to pop a load of silicone into their tits and plastic surgeons will put a feminist spin on their marketing and put the emphasis on how their implants are not like the old unreliable types.

    In all seriousness sometimes they burst and infect the flesh so I don't think they are as popular.
    I love boobs though :)

    It's probably because there's a lot more research that can be done online now compared to ten years ago.

    You can see galleries of true before/after, study and decide which incision to use, choose implant shape (teardrop is the more natural one), learn that if you don't get an infection in the early stages, which could scar you, (moreso than the scar you will get from the incisions, which most girls cover up with fake tan or makeup in photos)

    You will still need to pay again, and change them for new ones in another ten years. That's standard.


    They can leak, of course, and you can buy silicone bra inserts online and in most lingerie departments to get an idea of what you're getting- and you might decide it's not worth it, if you already have nice breasts, or you suspect the scarring will be very noticeable.

    If you have curvy hips/thighs/bum, adding large breasts in to the mix might only serve to make you look like you have more weight on you than you actually do.

    And small breasts were considered beautiful for hundreds of years. They still are, we are just told by porn and everything else that only large breasts are sexual. (which is kinda true, but large breasts are not beautiful in my opinion)

    Source: I did all the above :D

    What ever happened to white dog shit?

    It morphed into Tim's threads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,388 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    There making a baywatch movie with KellyBrook, Boobs will be back in fashion again soon.
    Her's are real AFAIK. The original baywatch ones were not particularly attractive to most people I know.

    There was some token actress in baywatch with smaller natural breasts, I would rather be her at 50+ than kelly brook.
    What ever happened to white dog shit?
    The dogs copped on the white shit they were doing was not actually attractive to the opposite sex. They barked disapproval at their owners who were still spray painting it white.
    I don't think I know a single girl who has implants.
    Or more likely they do not have obvious ones. Its like people going on about "coke heads", or "e-heads" little do they know many people they know might be on such drugs or have fake tits, but since its not blindly obvious they do not cop it. When they do cop on to the blindly obviously ones they recognise they tar them all with the same brush and think "oh anybody with fake tits will have this stupid barbie doll yokes jutting out", or "anyone who is on mdma will be gurning like a fcuking fool".

    Maybe everything women do isn't to please men? Some of my friends have implants and they just wanted to look more in proportion and look better in their clothes. One is a lesbian, so she couldn't care less what men think of her body.

    Isn't that basically what I said? :confused:

    No, it isn't at all. You implied that women used to get implants to please men, but now that they've seen the light and realised men don't care what size their boobs are, they've stopped getting them done. As if it's all about what men like and don't like.

    It always takes years and years for anyone to pay attention to what men have to say but I think finally they actually started to believe us when we said they were ugly looking monstrosities.

    Actually I suspect that's about as wrong as it could be.

    I would imagine it's precisely the opposite, they remain the biggest cosmetic surgery procedure in the States, they are increasingly popular in Ireland, they have become more apaffordable etc. And that's why they have fallen off the radar, because they are just so common.

    Know a couple of women who had them done. In fairness, it improved their clothed appearance, dresses look a lot better on them etc. But for those of us who knew them before the procedure you kinda think the effect, the admiration, is a lot more reduced.

    G.T.F.O. :pac: Brilliant.

    I've only known two women I knew(very briefly) who had them. One just went up a "normal" looking size, the other a little bigger. They looked pretty natural, but you could feel the bloody implants. Ugh.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Disappeared around the same time as bush porn,catch bars and the fall of the iron curtain.

    But in fairness ultimately it is all about attracting the other sex. Every friggin species in the world does that. Have women become so liberated now that primal instincts have gone out the window? I don't think so.

    And on top of that we're talking about enhancing one of your primary sexual characteristics. Not too subtle really. Its not like were talking about painting toe nails. Bigger tits. I dare say the primary objective is to increase sexual attraction.

    "most" women didn't. Some did, the way some do now.

    Only difference I can see is that the majority of people getting them are going for 'natural' looking cup sizes (B to D or whatever), rather than the previous trend for impossibly large, fake looking implants.

    No massive balloon implants = no media frenzy.

    I say, if I a girl is gonna get fake boobs she might as well get a big pair :pac:

    But in all seriousness the surgery already costs alot and alot of the times its done because the woman feels uncomfortable about her cup size. So why not opt for the head turning size. No one is saying double e's or anything mental tho.

    You'd have to be a tit to get a breast implant.

    I think it is about attracting the opposite sex too, but that is not the only reason. It's one of a number I think. I'd like a flatter stomach, but not particularly for men - men don't take notice of my stomach anyway as I'm not exactly carrying a tyre! But it would mean I could wear more figure-hugging tops and dresses, as they would look so much better on me.

    Double E is not even that big tbh.

    I imagine a lot of women get them because they're literally flat chested and just want 'normal' boobs rather than attention. Both flat chests and massive boobs attract more attention than a B cup.

    Yeah the woman I know who got implants always had a boyfriend, was rarely single - she just wanted more than a flat chest.

    Yes it is.

    Of the two I know who had them done, one is married, the other in a long term relationship. Both had zero interest in attracting anyone else, they did it to look better and thus feel better about themselves.

    EE is the cup size for well under 1% of the bra-wearing population. It's bigger than at least 99% of other women's.
