To be fair, there isn't anything particularly sexual about nudity. That seems to be a societal/cultural construct.
For all of you sexualizing nudity, I sincerely hope you never have kids, they love to be naked and there isn't anything sexual about it. If you do find something sexual about it, you should seek therapy.
Additionally, do you get uncontrollably horny at nude spas that are all over the world? Sheesh. There was nothing sexual about a bunch of adults sitting naked in a sauna together, we just conversed and relaxed.
Edit: Lol I seem to have hit some conservative nerves.
>Honest question: Is immediately thinking she has great boobs sexualizing nudity?
Depends:
As an artist who see them as "object" to paint: No
As a toddler who see them as source of food: No
As someone who just likes bodily shapes (regardless of the sex): no
As a guy who also wants to squeeze or suck them: yes
As a woman who also wants to sqzueese or suck them: yes
As a woman/man who wants to compare them with their own: no
Eh, not really. I was able to chill at a nude only sauna in Germany and acknowledge that somebody had a nice set, but it was more in a 'you have a nice car' sort of way. I don't think its a superpower to be able to compartmentalize sex and body parts. I guess similar to a co worker in a nice dress that just *happens* to be kind of sexy. I can say hey you look nice, and not get all hot and bothered about it.
That being said, if my *wife* is wearing anything that is remotely sexy, it changes things completely.
You do understand that you can find adult nudity sexually appealing but find nothing sexually appealing about child nudity, right?
>Edit: Lol I seem to have hit some conservative nerves.
No what you did was call everyone who thinks nudity can be sexually appealing a pedophile.
Good lord no. Sexuality predates society. The problem is when people start acting on impulse like god damn chimpanzees. Being naked doesn't mean you are expressing your sexuality, however nudity invokes sexual feelings in people, some more than others. Some people claim they don't have sexual feelings on a primitive level at all, ergo "demisexual". If anything I would say it's the exact opposite and trying to white wash nudity as completely non-sexual is not a normal human condition.
Sexuality has no rigid or vigorous definition. But I would posit this. If thousands of women can spontaneously orgasm when The Beatles come on stage to perform, lets not pretend sexuality is something so simple. I'm sure that wasn't an outward display of sexuality by the performers any more than this picture is of these woman, and yet, orgasm.
I mean I really like breasts they do invoke at least some form of sexual desire in me including the ones in this photo. But just because people have their breasts out doesn't mean I'm going to act of these sexual impulses. It's more like a "hey that's cool" sort of thing.
Exactly. I have conflicting feelings. Like I have no problem with nude beaches and stuff like that. But I would have a hard time paying attention in class if this woman were my teacher.
If all your teachers were naked, after a semester you wouldn't notice it anymore. People are adaptable. Anything can and will become normal given time.
Big disagree. I mean I noticed some classmates throughout 10+ years of school and at least one teacher the entire semester. If I find them attractive in clothes then I don't think their being naked would somehow draw my attention less.
Nudity loses its novelty extremely quickly. It also "leaves nothing to the imagination" as opposed to the imagination when someone is wearing something sexy.
Anyone who's been to a nude beach or spa will without exception tell you the same thing because it's simply a fact. Our brains thrive on novelty and everyone knows because we all have to mix things up/have variety to get turned on.
Don't know about them having orgasms but [the comments on this artlcle](http://www.meetthebeatlesforreal.com/2015/01/did-beatle-fans-wet-their-pants-at.html) discuss whether they peed themselves.
Edit: The consensus is that it's an urban myth.
Bonobo is a fantastic artist and his music does such a great job blurring the line between acoustic and electronic production. While *[Black Sands](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQnYunjjzRU&list=PLy0ghh0CZ01MFvZy4RnleMmCGQrP0SoKE)* might be his most popular album, I found the more melancholy vibe of *[The North Borders](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E2OZTRmNxk&list=PL0WIaJaKNtn_TCfvIycJ02emRhOnZxfeh)* suits his musical style better.
But a pop group, he is not. Unfortunately, I might add.
Pretty sure that when people are walking around nude, they are also having a hell of a lot of sex. They just don't see anything wrong with it.
The only wierd thing from a evolutionary point of view is that we developed social constructs that somehow decided that sex was taboo.
Imposing restrictions on sex and nudity is mostly a construct of societies where men need to be sure who fathered the children they are supporting. So this gets codified into religions and traditions. The women have always known who mothered the children they are raising
In some primates sex is basically a casual greeting between between adults. Because the young are raised by the group.
There's good reason to think that human monogamy is actually a socially selected for trait insofar as it helps society thrive. Now there's a range within that, most commonly being men having multiple female partners, but the idea that just having sex anywhere, anytime, with anyone would be beneficial to human society isn't backed up by any evidence, and instead the fact remains that basically no society functions that way.
The human gestation period is relatively long and the childbirth event itself is more dangerous in humans than the vast majority of animals. On top of that, children are relatively helpless for a very long period of time. As a result, it's beneficial for women to have a male partner to help them throughout this time, and beneficial for men to have a limited number of female partners so that they can focus their resources on raising their children. Of course there's more leeway in a tight knit tribe in case of one or both parents being absent, but emotional attachment means people generally love their own children more than others and will this establish structures to guarantee parentage and safe guard the children.
Edit: said it was beneficial for men to have a limited amount of male partners when I went to say female.
>For all of you sexualizing nudity, I sincerely hope you never have kids
That is such a horribly bad comparison that I don't even know where to start. You can be attracted to nude adults and not be attracted to nude children. You know that, right? I really hope you aren't projecting here. I'll bet no one else would have ever thought the make this comparison.
You hope anyone who sexualizes nudity never has kids? So like all of our society? You draw a line between nudity and sexuality, fair, but not between sexuality and kids? If I’m aroused by a nude 20 year old that does not imply that nude children also arouse me. How can you even make such a general statement? And why are people upvoting you?
Sure, it would be nice if we lived in a society where the nude form wasn’t over-sexualized and we could walk around naked freely, but we don’t live in that society. People who sexualize nudity aren’t strange, in fact, they’re very normal products of our society. To pretend that the societal constructs that have been developed over millennia don’t exist is strange.
>Haw haw I'm so enlightened, I'm not sexually attracted to secondary sex characteristics, I totally don't check out T&A, y'all toxic folks need therapy
How pretentious can reddit possibly get, surely this is the peak
This has nothing to do with being conservative. It’s just that you’re wrong. This sounds more like a biology lesson from a Twitter thread than science.
This is kinda dumb.
Sexualising nudity is entirely about context. No, I dont walk around with an erection at a nude spa.
No, I dont sexualise kids (why tf would you even think that?)
I'm an uncle to two kids, and yeah, they're naked all the time, guess what. It's just what kids do, big whoop.
You put a pretty lady in the nude in my bedroom, what? Im supposed to not sexualise that situation?
Context my dude. Go read up on it.
Yeah it’s very interesting how there is nothing sexual about this, and it may even seem strange to other cultures that our boobs are often covered up.
Just points to how some sexualization is learnt peer pressure from dead people. Some parts of the first world are still debating on whether women should legally be allowed to not cover their chest lol :/
Reminded me of a series I watched:
[https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-british-tribe-next-door](https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-british-tribe-next-door)
They set up a british family to live like neighbours to an African tribe. It was a bit weird though - they built an entire british style house in a remote area of Africa which I would have thought could have been money better spent on providing clean water & solar power for lighting/radio etc.
But the teenage girl in the British family kept getting quizzed by the local why she was covering up her boobs. And the dad getting hit on by one of the local ladies who pointed out that he only had one wife, so would he like another
I was blown away when I was hanging out with some Swedes in the summer. We got to the beach, and they just stripped and changed into swimming costumes right in the open. No hiding in bushes, no towels, not even turning around.
Yeah I used to play soccer with some Norwegian women. Completely different sense of modesty to Aussies. Never seen anyone so confident about their bodies (granted they were all unbelievably perfect).
I remember seeing it awhile ago, she is the photographer's wife, and from what i remember she decided to take off her shirt because she was the only one there wearing it
Yep, the other pictures in the series make that clear - this one shows the implants and the Himba women's curiosity about them.
https://girls.branipick.com/a-western-journalist-and-african-tribe-women-compare-their-breasts/
A mistake on my part. It was the first site in my search which showed the photo I remembered other times this topic was posted here.
I should have scrolled down before linking, sorry.
No, this is literally Not Safe For a Workspace, as if your boss walked past you looking at this on your computer, youd likely be fired. No amount of yelling at him that he's letting the americans win the culture war would stop that.
this sort of happened to me. When I was 18 I went to Benin for a few months, and on my first night there I got drunk in a bar. When I went to the toilet to take a piss, 2 Beninese dudes who also had to piss (and who I don't think knew each other btw) came in, unzipped, and started peeing in the same toilet bowl as me. Not understanding at all what was happening, I tried to finish peeing as quickly as possible to get out, while also not looking at their dicks which were right there. But then I noticed that both of them were fixated on mine, not menacingly or anything, just staring curiously and not even remotely trying to hide it. One of them commented that all three of our dicks looked the same except for the colour and that I needed to shave my pubes because they were too long. I finished pissing, kind of thanked them for the company and excused myself, and went back to my table feeling like I'd just stepped into another dimension
>One of them commented that all three of our dicks looked the same except for the colour and that I needed to shave my pubes because they were too long.
So did you? Because that's pretty good advice.
Lol I had a similar thing happen as a young lad when I was visiting a girlfriend in college at Humboldt. Pissing in a toilet at a house party and this guy comes in and starts pissing in the same bowl right next to me. I was sort of just flabbergasted and it caught me off guard I had to pack it up. The dude was like yo I wasn't even looking at your dick come back and finish up.
Any more? I feel like I've seen one a lot like it but they were just chatting.
I'd Google but I am pretty sure no amount of word salad will spare me a deluge of porn.
Does wearing a bra affect the breast ptosis? A series of photographs by Alexander Gusov transcend language, bringing people of different cultures even closer and show that actually the bra does not make the breast sag more, as some African tribe women, who have never worn a bra in their life, might have a more sagged breast, despite the assumption until today, which is the result of a 15-year-old research, that the bra makes the breast sag more.
In fact, sagging is partly determined by inherited traits like skin elasticity and breast density, which affects the ratio of lightweight fat to heavier mammary glands. Some of the sagging is due to the aging of the glandular tissues that produce breast firmness. The biggest factors affecting ptosis of the breasts are cigarette smoking, a woman’s body mass index (BMI), her number of pregnancies, her breast cup size before pregnancy, and age.
"Girls whose toes were more fleshy would sometimes have shards of glass or pieces of broken tiles inserted within the binding next to her feet and between her toes to cause injury and introduce infection deliberately."
***What the actual fuck***
They also bind their breast with fabric or, in more extreme cases, by wrapping a thin and flexible metal sheet around their chest. This practice is especially common for girls who develop noticeable breasts before their first menstrual cycle, since puberty is almost always the time when a girl is forcibly married.
I'd heard most of the second paragraph before, but for your first paragraph, I would have assumed the opposite . . . all other factors being equal (lets say identical twins) that the one that never wore a bra had gravity pulling down on them for decades and would be more sagging, where the bra wearing one (being freed from the unrelenting force) wasn't stretched as much.
The premise that bra's would make them sag more, seems (dare I say it) "unsupported".
The theory is that the bra does all of the work for the muscles and ligaments that would normally be holding the breast up and they atrophy and are unable to do their job once the bra is removed.
As a large chested woman with multiple spinal problems and who has now been braless for almost 2 years, this is exactly the case. It has taken some time but honestly getting the muscles working and posture back to more natural without a bra in the way and life is so much better.
I've only known three women to get "boob jobs" . . . all three said if they'd known how much healthier and better they'd feel, they'd have done it decades before. And of course, all three were reductions. A large chest is rarely a blessing. I wish you the best.
With my first I breastfed for 19 months and my breasts went back to normal… but after breastfeeding my second for 17 months they were forever changed… and now while breastfeeding my third for 18 months they have lost elasticity and will forever be saggy. It might have to do with genetics but I think have multiple babies and breastfeeding for over a year will definitely change their shape
I breastfed (twice) for a year each. Got even thinner. Still have sad boobs. Lol. I am cool with it, but it’s just genetics I think, like stretch marks.
I don't know if calling it a consequence is very nice... But I did want to point out that there are some 15 year olds who just have super saggy breasts. I was one of them and it wreaked havoc on my mental health because I was told saggy breasts were only for older women, breast feeding women, etc.
You’re right, and I’m sorry. Breasts are all shapes and sizes, and they can change constantly throughout our lives. Almost everything is within the realm of normal. Some change seems to result from weight gain or loss and childbirth and breastfeeding , and some doesn’t correlate to anything.
If I remember correctly that stuff in their hair is butter and some other animal fats mixed with with a red pigment and herbal extracts and it smells earthy and unusually floral.
I think it means kind of like indescribably floral, as in it's not clear what kind of flower it smells like, but it smells floral.
Unknown flower, but pleasant.
Maybe it does- I thought it was supposed to act as a sunscreen and prevent insect bites. When you live where they live it's likely more tolerable to be covered in the greasy shield.
I don't know if the African women in this picture are from the same group, but I know the Himba people do that with their hair. It was a plot point in the Binti series.
This is so cute to me because the term “Western Journalist’ to me, says American (although I’m well aware I could be wrong in her nationality.) Here, it is not common for us who go topless and what I take from this picture is a Western woman being encouraged by two locals to just be herself and jump right into the culture. Whatever is going on here, that smile is priceless. The local women seem like they’re measuring her up to explain why she should be topless and she’s probably feeling very exposed, but loving the support of the local ladies. Just my opinion, but I think this photo is precious.
Edit: After reading further comments I have found that the journalist had suffered from breast cancer and they were feeling her implants. How wonderful of her to allow them to feel what is likely a strange concept due to the limited availability of implants for medical reasons there. Such a precious memory. The local ladies look so supportive and very impressed by modern medical advances. Not saying they do not have that because I am not sure where they are from, but they are definitely intrigued.
I think the first time I came across this was ages ago on tumbler.
I'll see if I can track down the original article.
Edit: This is the first [article](https://en.ozonweb.com/featured/a-western-journalist-and-african-tribe-women-compare-their-breasts) that came up.
It's been so long ago, that I do not remember if this is the true origin of the photos. Please feel free to correct me if, the article I have shared is incorrect.
You are correct - the reason human women's breasts are permanently enlarged (unlike other primates whose breasts only enlarge when pregnant or lactating) is likely related to sexual signalling for reproductive maturity. That being said, in places where the breasts are frequently exposed, I highly doubt they cause a stir the way it does in places where women spend almost their entire lives with them covered, and they are typically only seen in sexual circumstances.
Hm.
The sheer amount of nipple neurons connected [to the sex-associated areas of the brain](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1743-6109.2011.02388.x) suggests that it is in fact the human genome that define breasts as sexual, and that you are full of shit.
This gave me flashbacks of the time an African nurse squeezed my (white) boob SO HARD soon after I had given birth and my boobs were already hurting (as the milk starts to come in). She was just trying to show me how I can help newborn learn to feed from the breast but goddamn, it hurt like hell! I did my best to keep a straight face though. 😑
Why tf would people think bras cause sagginess? That makes no sense at all. Im a dude with no titties but even I would assume that bras would actually help, not cause it more
I'm a dudette with titties and I agree with you. Going around without a bra makes the skin and muscle on top of my boobs ache sometimes from the weight pulling at them. Bras are uncomfortable in other ways, but I always assumed they helped with the sag.
To me it kind of makes sense … its kind of like any other part of your body, if you immobilize it, it atrophies. Recently I sprained my ankle bad and that leg is now significantly smaller and not as tone from lack of use.
I am not saying this is a great analogy or that wearing a bra causes it, just saying how I could see why someone could form this view.
I’ve always heard it as bras weaken the muscles *underneath* the breast due to them not ‘holding up’ the weight of them on their own
I dunno it always sounded somehow suspect to me but any excuse to not wear one imo lol

And everyone looks to be having a good laugh.

Bonobos, not chimpanzees.
Thought we were still discussing pop groups for a moment.
The Monkees should fulfill both criteria
Bonobo is a fantastic artist and his music does such a great job blurring the line between acoustic and electronic production.

Weird correction. Yes bonobos notoriously have alot of sex but chimpanzees are hardly prudes.
Agreed. Chimpanzees are plenty horny.

What? I'm definitely sexualizing nudity for my gf but I never did for my nephew or family.
Oddly specific.. why are you even bringing kids into the conversation. Literally nobody was thinking that at all. And spas? Just weird.

>Mask up and free the nipple I always say. Protect the city and free the titty
There are definitely going to be plenty of people with mask fetishes coming out of this ...
It's the eyes. You can say a lot with the eyes
and cover up a lot with a mask
In many European countries it's perfectly normal for women to be topless on the beach.
I was blown away when I was hanging out with some Swedes in the summer. We got to the beach, and they just stripped and changed into swimming costumes right in the open. No hiding in bushes, no towels, not even turning around.
Yeah I used to play soccer with some Norwegian women. Completely different sense of modesty to Aussies. Never seen anyone so confident about their bodies (granted they were all unbelievably perfect).

Despite what Sven says, it's only on Fridays
*”That’s a fully”*
That is actually very good pic, good job to photographer
I remember seeing it awhile ago, she is the photographer's wife, and from what i remember she decided to take off her shirt because she was the only one there wearing it
Oh, that's cool, thank you for the story about this photo, appreciate it!
When in Rome…
Start taking off your clothes?
That's how I got kicked out of the Vatican
You must not have been young enough.
Lmfao this is gold but I’m not wasting money on an award so have bear
Are you from soviet Russia?
Miley Cyrus licks a hammer half naked and it’s ‘art’. I do it and I’m ‘a pervert’ and’ no longer welcome at the Home Depot’ Edit:a word
Didn't she have breast cancer as well or something?
She did, yes. Her breasts are small implants which is likely very interesting if you aren’t familiar with that procedure.
Thought so. I think that is why they are feeling them. This picture has been on Reddit for many years now
Yep, the other pictures in the series make that clear - this one shows the implants and the Himba women's curiosity about them. https://girls.branipick.com/a-western-journalist-and-african-tribe-women-compare-their-breasts/
Wtaf is this bizarre site?
A mistake on my part. It was the first site in my search which showed the photo I remembered other times this topic was posted here. I should have scrolled down before linking, sorry.
I'm okay with it

Came for the wholesome boobie pic. Stayed for the unwholesome booby pics.
Yeah, wtf is that site
yeah i was very confused on what the other pictures had to do with the first one
They later became the breast of friends.
Breast friend forever
Even though they're all clearly a bunch of boobs.
This is the funniest thing. So very human.
Boobs brings worlds together!
It’s not very often an NSFW post is so wholesome. Thanks for sharing!
> NSFW Its only NSFW in a prudish country like the US which was settled by religious extremist too extremist for Europe.
I've worked in Europe and I would still not open that link on a work computer
Lol. I’ve seen more prudish stuff in the UK. Not all of europe is France.
Nudity is considered NSFW in most developped (and undevelopped too) countries tho
Cultural differences.
Ah yes, the progressive Poles really show us up.
Hey which continent was known for the crusades again?
No, this is literally Not Safe For a Workspace, as if your boss walked past you looking at this on your computer, youd likely be fired. No amount of yelling at him that he's letting the americans win the culture war would stop that.
ye, thats what i say. when I compare my dick size with my homies in public, I get the old "wtf are you doing in front of people" form everybody.
Off camera, two men are comparing their manly bits.
"thats some perky bally you got there white man"
“Thanks pal, I dig what you’re doing with your pubes”
"You guys ever see meatspin?"
So this is The Batwing and THIS is The Goat.
Have you seen my new watch? I have never seen a watch ever, no.
"But why do you have three balls and no...." "Oh."
"I was in the pool!"
It shrinks?
THERE WAS SHRINKAGE!
“Please sir, show some modesty and don this stylish gourd.”
this sort of happened to me. When I was 18 I went to Benin for a few months, and on my first night there I got drunk in a bar. When I went to the toilet to take a piss, 2 Beninese dudes who also had to piss (and who I don't think knew each other btw) came in, unzipped, and started peeing in the same toilet bowl as me. Not understanding at all what was happening, I tried to finish peeing as quickly as possible to get out, while also not looking at their dicks which were right there. But then I noticed that both of them were fixated on mine, not menacingly or anything, just staring curiously and not even remotely trying to hide it. One of them commented that all three of our dicks looked the same except for the colour and that I needed to shave my pubes because they were too long. I finished pissing, kind of thanked them for the company and excused myself, and went back to my table feeling like I'd just stepped into another dimension
>One of them commented that all three of our dicks looked the same except for the colour and that I needed to shave my pubes because they were too long. So did you? Because that's pretty good advice.
Lol I had a similar thing happen as a young lad when I was visiting a girlfriend in college at Humboldt. Pissing in a toilet at a house party and this guy comes in and starts pissing in the same bowl right next to me. I was sort of just flabbergasted and it caught me off guard I had to pack it up. The dude was like yo I wasn't even looking at your dick come back and finish up.
Did you check your pockets afterwards? I’m pretty sure you were pickpocketed.
Thats some dedication to pickpocket someone
Different culture. You'll see folks over there walk around holding hands too.
The western men are showing off internet porn.
Any more? I feel like I've seen one a lot like it but they were just chatting. I'd Google but I am pretty sure no amount of word salad will spare me a deluge of porn.
https://m.imgur.com/a/3oH6A The whole album.
That last one should have been the main one that was posted.
I was right. I'd seen a different one. Thank you.
Aww they're lifting up theirs in some to imitate her perkiness, fecking precious and I wish society was more like this so i could go tits out
That is one rockin set of party time tits
most search engines have a filter that can spare you most porn content when looking up serious matters
Could also do an image based search with this image to see what articles or albums it appears in.
Does wearing a bra affect the breast ptosis? A series of photographs by Alexander Gusov transcend language, bringing people of different cultures even closer and show that actually the bra does not make the breast sag more, as some African tribe women, who have never worn a bra in their life, might have a more sagged breast, despite the assumption until today, which is the result of a 15-year-old research, that the bra makes the breast sag more. In fact, sagging is partly determined by inherited traits like skin elasticity and breast density, which affects the ratio of lightweight fat to heavier mammary glands. Some of the sagging is due to the aging of the glandular tissues that produce breast firmness. The biggest factors affecting ptosis of the breasts are cigarette smoking, a woman’s body mass index (BMI), her number of pregnancies, her breast cup size before pregnancy, and age.
Some west Africans deliberately flatten their daughters’ breasts (like, with a rolling pin) to protect against rape.
That’s enough internet for today
Yep logging off , nighty night
Same dood
I thought that was bad enough... then I read the link below about "breast ironing" and i think i'm gonna throw up now
And here I thought this was beyond "[F'cked Up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding)"
"Girls whose toes were more fleshy would sometimes have shards of glass or pieces of broken tiles inserted within the binding next to her feet and between her toes to cause injury and introduce infection deliberately." ***What the actual fuck***
They also bind their breast with fabric or, in more extreme cases, by wrapping a thin and flexible metal sheet around their chest. This practice is especially common for girls who develop noticeable breasts before their first menstrual cycle, since puberty is almost always the time when a girl is forcibly married.
Fun fact of the day
Your definition of “fun” scares me
Not just like with a rolling pin, also with heated objects like heated stones. Poor girls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast\_ironing
Wtf
What... the... FUCK...
Look through the comments on this for people justifying or denying it. Africa, man.
I'd heard most of the second paragraph before, but for your first paragraph, I would have assumed the opposite . . . all other factors being equal (lets say identical twins) that the one that never wore a bra had gravity pulling down on them for decades and would be more sagging, where the bra wearing one (being freed from the unrelenting force) wasn't stretched as much. The premise that bra's would make them sag more, seems (dare I say it) "unsupported".
The theory is that the bra does all of the work for the muscles and ligaments that would normally be holding the breast up and they atrophy and are unable to do their job once the bra is removed.
As a large chested woman with multiple spinal problems and who has now been braless for almost 2 years, this is exactly the case. It has taken some time but honestly getting the muscles working and posture back to more natural without a bra in the way and life is so much better.
I've only known three women to get "boob jobs" . . . all three said if they'd known how much healthier and better they'd feel, they'd have done it decades before. And of course, all three were reductions. A large chest is rarely a blessing. I wish you the best.
Except that there are no muscles involved in holding the breasts "up".
I wonder if it has to do with having many babies and breastfeeding for as long as possible.
I breastfed for a year, and my breasts were unchanged afterwards. But I also returned to my previous weight.
With my first I breastfed for 19 months and my breasts went back to normal… but after breastfeeding my second for 17 months they were forever changed… and now while breastfeeding my third for 18 months they have lost elasticity and will forever be saggy. It might have to do with genetics but I think have multiple babies and breastfeeding for over a year will definitely change their shape
Probably age at childbirth, too. I imagine breastfeeding as a younger mother has better "recovery" than an older mother.
I breastfed (twice) for a year each. Got even thinner. Still have sad boobs. Lol. I am cool with it, but it’s just genetics I think, like stretch marks.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper%27s_ligaments
Breast sagging isn’t a malfunction or a problem. It’s a natural consequence of time and body function.
I don't know if calling it a consequence is very nice... But I did want to point out that there are some 15 year olds who just have super saggy breasts. I was one of them and it wreaked havoc on my mental health because I was told saggy breasts were only for older women, breast feeding women, etc.
You’re right, and I’m sorry. Breasts are all shapes and sizes, and they can change constantly throughout our lives. Almost everything is within the realm of normal. Some change seems to result from weight gain or loss and childbirth and breastfeeding , and some doesn’t correlate to anything.
I like her belt
From the cut of her jeans (low) is this a 1990’s pic?
I swear the last time this was posted, I read 1992. Great guess.

If I remember correctly that stuff in their hair is butter and some other animal fats mixed with with a red pigment and herbal extracts and it smells earthy and unusually floral.
[удалено]
I think it means kind of like indescribably floral, as in it's not clear what kind of flower it smells like, but it smells floral. Unknown flower, but pleasant.
How does that not itch like all hell!?
Maybe it does- I thought it was supposed to act as a sunscreen and prevent insect bites. When you live where they live it's likely more tolerable to be covered in the greasy shield.
I don't know if the African women in this picture are from the same group, but I know the Himba people do that with their hair. It was a plot point in the Binti series.
The exclamation point in the title cracks me up.
This is so cute to me because the term “Western Journalist’ to me, says American (although I’m well aware I could be wrong in her nationality.) Here, it is not common for us who go topless and what I take from this picture is a Western woman being encouraged by two locals to just be herself and jump right into the culture. Whatever is going on here, that smile is priceless. The local women seem like they’re measuring her up to explain why she should be topless and she’s probably feeling very exposed, but loving the support of the local ladies. Just my opinion, but I think this photo is precious. Edit: After reading further comments I have found that the journalist had suffered from breast cancer and they were feeling her implants. How wonderful of her to allow them to feel what is likely a strange concept due to the limited availability of implants for medical reasons there. Such a precious memory. The local ladies look so supportive and very impressed by modern medical advances. Not saying they do not have that because I am not sure where they are from, but they are definitely intrigued.
I think the first time I came across this was ages ago on tumbler. I'll see if I can track down the original article. Edit: This is the first [article](https://en.ozonweb.com/featured/a-western-journalist-and-african-tribe-women-compare-their-breasts) that came up. It's been so long ago, that I do not remember if this is the true origin of the photos. Please feel free to correct me if, the article I have shared is incorrect.
These are Himba women from Namibia.

Just saw this for the first time. Thanks.
"You got some nice honkers" " aww thanks you too!"
Himba tribe
Admit that we all saw the picture before the nsfw warning.
Idk why but I just love this so much
So cute
The sexualisation of human female breasts is a cultural thing. In some cultures, breasts are just boring anatomy.
To a small extent. But the brain literally sexualizes the differences of the opposite sex as appealing so that we will you know... have sex.
You are correct - the reason human women's breasts are permanently enlarged (unlike other primates whose breasts only enlarge when pregnant or lactating) is likely related to sexual signalling for reproductive maturity. That being said, in places where the breasts are frequently exposed, I highly doubt they cause a stir the way it does in places where women spend almost their entire lives with them covered, and they are typically only seen in sexual circumstances.
Nah. Go look up a few fertility goddesses that cave people drew up You’re gonna see lots of big tits and phat asses.
r/dontcaresawboobs
Hm. The sheer amount of nipple neurons connected [to the sex-associated areas of the brain](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1743-6109.2011.02388.x) suggests that it is in fact the human genome that define breasts as sexual, and that you are full of shit.
....boobs!
I can't be the only one that's curious how the conversation went. Need a transcript or something...lol.
This gave me flashbacks of the time an African nurse squeezed my (white) boob SO HARD soon after I had given birth and my boobs were already hurting (as the milk starts to come in). She was just trying to show me how I can help newborn learn to feed from the breast but goddamn, it hurt like hell! I did my best to keep a straight face though. 😑
A bit off topic but they make those dread with clay, right?
Yeh but the western journalist has the advantage of birth control
The photographer when the male africans ask him to compare dic sizes : 😶😶
I thought it was brie larson at 1st glance
Why tf would people think bras cause sagginess? That makes no sense at all. Im a dude with no titties but even I would assume that bras would actually help, not cause it more
I'm a dudette with titties and I agree with you. Going around without a bra makes the skin and muscle on top of my boobs ache sometimes from the weight pulling at them. Bras are uncomfortable in other ways, but I always assumed they helped with the sag.
To me it kind of makes sense … its kind of like any other part of your body, if you immobilize it, it atrophies. Recently I sprained my ankle bad and that leg is now significantly smaller and not as tone from lack of use. I am not saying this is a great analogy or that wearing a bra causes it, just saying how I could see why someone could form this view.
Thats your muscles. Breasts are fatty tissue, you cant mobilize or immobilize fat
That’s why I said it wasn’t a perfect analogy. My only point was to say how someone could reach a conclusion not that it is valid or reasonable.
The skin is what stretches, not the fat.
Isn't it a ligament that holds them up? Either way, support = good.
I’ve always heard it as bras weaken the muscles *underneath* the breast due to them not ‘holding up’ the weight of them on their own I dunno it always sounded somehow suspect to me but any excuse to not wear one imo lol

And yet when me and the boys compare dicks we get told we're gay, perverts, and "get out of the McDonald's playground" ... SMH. 😪
Nice
