Falsies, however, were widely worn as far back as Victorian times, and usually rated a quarter of a page in the Sears catalog as late as the seventies. These were intended to improve proportion, however, not to inflate the wearer's bosom to fetishistic proportions. That trend is, as you, say, relatively recent -- and coincides closely the wide availablity of pornography.

One of my closest friends is a 27 year old woman who has often expressed frustration with the fact that men her age have had their images of women shaped entirely by exposure to internet pornography, to the point where they're unable to function well in the company of a woman who isn't pumped up, fully depiliated, and airbrushed. It's only going to get worse, and the only hope I see is that such men will, at least, be eliminating themselves from the gene pool.

small chested women were not an rarity in entertainment.
A previous neighbour of ours was a lovely lady of such proportions. She and her husband were raising four lovely kids, and she had breastfed them all as babies. My wife regaled me about the time she was out shopping with this neighbour of our's. Wifey was looking for a strapless bra to wear with a ballgown. Our neighbour just randomly picked up a bra in a box, it was her size. The inscription read: "32AA Your very first bra." She threw it back on the shelf with indignation. "Let's go and have a coffee," she said to my wife, and then laughingly told her about her: 'very first bra.'

RE Lizzie's post above: Two thoughts - one, unless women invent a new way to reproduce quickly, it will be short reign and, two, I don't believe you truly would want that.

Here you can actually blame someone

Tycoon and Movie Director Howard Hughes Developed the Bullet Bra: an underwire bra with pointy cups for actress Jane Russell to wear in “The Outlaw” which Russell refused to wear due to discomfort. Bombshells such as Jayne Mansfield, Jane Russell and Lana Turner ( known as the Sweater Girl) loved the sexy silhouette which accentuated the shape of the bust. “It’s when Hollywood really started to popularize fashion trends. Form-fitting sweaters were the rage at the time, as was having these pointy boobs poking out,” says Jené Luciani, the author of “The Bra Book.”

I dunno. The more I see, the more I think mass extinction might not be the worst thing that could happen to modern civilization. "Earth Abides" turned out pretty well.

At social functions, it's not uncommon to be asked why we have no children. I try to answer in a way that doesn't say: "Mind your own business." But I'm often tempted. Mass extinction of modern civilisation is just the barbed response that I've been looking for. Must make a note of that.

I know for several decades, scientist have been working on a way for men to carry children to birth. Making men go through the pain of child birth is a sure fire way to end the human race! Count me out!

Your friend gives those boys too little credit. Yes, we males are given to following our little captains into battle, especially when we're young (between the ages of, say, 14 and 87) but those boys know the difference between the world they actually live in and what they might see on an online porn site. And besides, whatever one thinks of such graphic displays, the sheer volume and ubiquity of porn assures something for every imaginable predilection. If any genre of film, photography, literature, whatever is democratized, it's pornography.

Those fellows with whom I have discussed such matters tend to agree with me that artificially inflated tops and hairless bottoms just ain't where it's at. And there isn't a one of those fine chaps who lacks for libido. It just that our tastes tend toward the organic.

Yes! I am tired of women that lump all us males into a one size fits all box! We men, are as different in our taste as there are women.

As this site is filthy, perhaps we could call on the services of Chester and West Cheshire Council. They had put together, following complaints of fly-tipping, illegal dumping of rubbish and the subsequent knock on effect of vermin, a street cleaning hit squad. They titled it: "The Street Cleaning High Impact Team.
Later, at a council meeting, it was pointed out that the name of the new team had the unfortunate acronym SCHIT. You couldn't make it up, could you?

Hmm? Beats me. Maybe it was my very first post that did it. I think there's a curse word in it. I'm prone to swearing every now-and-then. Always knew it would be my downfall.

Although Tourettes Syndrome is described as having involuntary tics and making sudden noises, here in the UK, it's become synonymous with compulsive swearing, as in excessive use of profanities. When someone, or something, usually officialdom, rattles my wife, she can be heard to say: "I feel an attack of tourettes coming on!"

Can't accuse the site of not being clean anymore. Does anyone else find the white background a tad clinical?

This thread is quite extraordinary. From Indian Jones's hat to falsies to typewriters. Where else on the Internet can one find such a compendium? On a serious note, bare lady pictures and films on the Internet will do lasting psychological damage to a generation of boys and will affect their girlfriends, wives and families. This has been studied by numerous experts. I am not writing this on account of being old fashioned, though I am considered fairly old fashioned by my friends. One big difference between now and the world of not so long ago, is that people back then were not inundated at an impressionable age by images that can disturb the mind. Luckily, where I live, the government blocks all such content. Now before we get into a debate about freedom of expression which, I admit, is important, it does mean that my children are not in a kind of electronic bordello.
