Twiggyish | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:15 pm     I think this thread is pointless, but then it may be debatable.  |
Wink | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Car perhaps they're all busy doing some hands-on research of their own. Just to make sure of course that they'd be submitting data that has been tried and tested. |
Wink | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:18 pm     Now Twiggy don't go getting snippy.  |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:22 pm     LOL!!! |
Car54 | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:35 pm     Yeah Winkie, either that or they are all a$$ men. |
Weinermr | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:58 pm     . |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 04:59 pm     Are you being punny tonight?

Maris | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:02 pm     Maybe we should do a thread about tom DICK and harry. I am at a loss why a thread like this is in general discussion and not in hot topics. Its debasing to women. That is just my two cents. |
Sabbatia | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:10 pm     Maris, I don't find it debasing to women at all. As for all the jokes and funnies, I take them in the spirit they are being offered.....as funnies. I spent a lot of money on my breasts and I'm pretty darned proud of them, but I can still joke them.....and so can my denitst. |
Car54 | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:19 pm     I don't feel debased. It's ok with me to move it to Hot Topics if that is better tho. The Valentine Hysteria thread is there and it is about as lukewarm as you get. |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:22 pm     I don't feel debased, either. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:23 pm     Maris, did I miss my chance to be offended? I'm offended at myself for missing a prime opportunity to take offense (LOL). |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:25 pm     Yeah what Gal said! |
Weinermr | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:27 pm     I'm going back to semi-lurkdom. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:29 pm     I'm offended that Weinermr took offense at his first post and offensively ridded this thread of his offensive offering. I'm also offended at myself for being offended that Maris took offense before I did. |
Car54 | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:30 pm     Weiner, you big chicken! Where else are you gonna find this many non-debased women in one place? |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:37 pm     Knowing Adven, I don't take offense. He's probably got another reason for starting this thread.. It was ok to have a Guy thread and a discuss Guy thread..sooooo turn about is fair play! |
Weinermr | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:38 pm     Car, I think there were this many at the casting call for Joe Millionaire. Anyway, If I'm a chicken, I'm a thigh and not the breast. (I don't know what that means but I said it anyway) GAL, I just don't know what to say to that. I'm way out of practice or something |
Car54 | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:41 pm     Yeah, but they were all mouth breathers. Oh well tomorrow we will get Adven to start the Thigh thread. I bet we will have plenty to say about thighs too. |
Spygirl | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:41 pm     I'm not sure either, Weinermr, but it made me laugh anyway! |
Maris | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 05:56 pm     I am just saying I find it debasing to joke about parts of a womans body. I would just like to offer up this to think about. A short while back women started a thread relating to guys posts on the board. They made some light hearted comments about men's cooking abilities and penchant for cleaning. This was followed by men posting that they were hurt and offended by the stereotyping of men on this board. Women flocked to apologize for their insensitivity towards men. Now we have a thread about womens breasts. Is there offense? No...in fact when a woman says she is offended by it the women come and say oh no this is just having fun. We dont mind men posting funny little stories about books they are writing about womens breasts, its all in the thought. I find something wrong with the picture. I wonder how the men would feel if I decided that I was going to write a book about mens penis sizes and could they give me some information. |
Cyn | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 06:00 pm     Breast Exams for both MEN and WOMAN! Monthly breast self-examination (BSE) includes both looking and feeling over the entire breast and chest area. The steps can be performed in any order, but each step is important. You should use the pads, not the tips, of the three middle fingers when performing BSE. The time required to perform the exam varies with the size and features of a person's breasts but usually only takes about 15-20 minutes each month. You should be sure to examine the breasts in the same manner each month, check the entire breast and armpit area, and remember how the breasts feel from month to month. Some people prefer to keep a small diary of their monthly breast self-exams. Use three different patterns when examining the breasts each month:
1) Vertical or "up and down" pattern (or "squares") covering the entire breast. 2) Spiral or ring pattern, making concentric rings that tighten in a spiral, starting on the outer edges of the breast and ending around the nipple. 3) Wedge patterns in and out (or "quadrants"). You should use light, medium, and firm pressure and small "massaging" circles when palpating the breast using the patterns described above. You should not lift the fingers while feeling the breasts to ensure that no area is missed. You should perform a BSE when you can be in a private place that is free from disturbances, so you may concentrate fully on the examination. BSE should be performed in a warm room or during a warm shower so that the breast tissue is relaxed and easier to examine. Cold air or cold water causes the breasts and nipples to contract and may make examining the breasts more difficult. You may prefer to use a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder on the skin of breasts to help reduce friction and allow the fingers to move more easily over the skin. In addition to performing BSE in front of a mirror, you can also do it while standing in a warm shower. Soapy fingers reduce friction and allow some breast changes to be more easily recognized. For me, this is the easiest and best method. Pics, permission and help courtesy of the American Cancer Society. Copyright granted only for this thread's use.

Squaredsc | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 06:02 pm     now that would be a good topic to talk about. weinermr, ive got two of those too. adven again i say check out g-string divas, dh and i were watching over the weekend and one girl talked about getting implants and there are before and after shots. that would be good for your paper. p.s. not all flocked to apologize and not all were offended by the other thread. |
Squaredsc | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 06:03 pm     i prefer spiral myself. |
Spygirl | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 06:05 pm     I guess I don't see this thread as offensive because it isn't saying anything bad towards women. Unless having breasts has somehow become a bad thing. There isn't anything negative or stereotypical at all that I see. It isn't talking about dumb blonds with big boobs, or stupid girls who get breast enlargements, or a generalization that all women with big boobs are interested only in sex and men. The things that went on in the thread Maris mentioned from a few weeks ago were things implying that men were stupid, inept, useless without women, incapable of expressing or discussing emotion, and a handful of other stereotypes. I see absolutely zero stereotypes in this thread, sorry guys. The thread *is* pointless (as someone else said), but hurtful or embarassing to women? Not at this point, IMO. Especially not since almost every single post in here besides Adven's has come from women. We've all got breasts. I guess I just don't see that talking about them is somehow offensive towards women. There isn't even a discussion on size in here - or shape, or color. It is a bunch of breast puns. <shrug> Doesn't bother me in the least. I have found it to be a funny use of the English language. And I'm very amused. |
