People are allowed to have their own preferences different from mine, but I'm always thrown off by the number of comments on the internet who insist they don't care about boob size.

Personally, I'm like the fake straight persona that Captain Holt puts on in Brooklyn 99: "I see a pair of thick, weighty breasts and all logic flies out the window."

[–] neshura@bookwyr.me 5 points 20 hours ago

I feel like most people say they don't care about boob size but really want to say they don't care about boob size, so long as they are within the "normal" range of "not nearly nothing" and "not a planet yet"

For me, (a bi woman,) it depends on the context. If I'm surreptitiously checking out someone, then yeah, I have preferences. In practice, none of those preferences matter when I'm at motorboating distance from a partner's boobs. If I think of every set of boobs I have seen in that context, I can legitimately say I have no preference.

I don't know, I think that by the time it gets to that point, it's impossible to see the boobs as an abstract, aesthetically pleasing thing. Instead, I see them in the context of the entire person, and that feels infinitely more erotic. At first I thought that maybe it's a case of all the women I've slept with having boobs that fit their frame, but I don't think that's the case either. Big boobs on a small frame: Hot. Small boobs on a small frame: Hot. Big boobs on a large frame: Hot. Small boobs on a large frame: Hot. Wonky boobs on a medium frame: Hot.

Reflecting further, I think my mentality might be because some years ago, when I was tripping on 2CB, something clicked in me and I suddenly understood "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"; I realised that there was beauty and ugliness in everything, and I could just choose to see the beauty. It worked wonders for my own body confidence at the time, and I'm realising now that the sentiment has stuck with me deeper than I thought. I reckon that by the time I'm sleeping with someone, I've made an active choice to opt into seeing their beauty. If I weren't able to do that, I probably wouldn't get to the point of seeing them naked.

There's nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis.

... so you saying out there be roaming boobs with mighty penises growing out of them??

Eww!

But brb, I'm embarking on an ... unrelated expedition of science & new frontiers.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Godpseed on your quest, but the comment was referring to a separate quote of the same hay character when pretending to be straight, referring to the absence of a penis in the place you would would actually expect to see a penis.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Yes, I understood the quote, my reply was just an attempt to derive some random abstract humour from it.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There is also such a thing as too large of a breast.

Look up the largest breast record holder.

That’s too fucking big.

I think that the insistence of “not caring about boob size” is really saying “I like boobies in the typical size and shape range”.

Extremes would probably break this rule, but extremes are just that

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I mean I would still try sleeping with someone with problematically huge breasts, just out of curiosity

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Purely a scientific endeavor. Indeed.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

One person's too big is another person's "I don't mind if they're bigger"

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I guess they have like a size range for me. So I do care, just tend to shy away from really large boobs.

There's nothing wrong with them, but, idk there's a certain point where they just look broken.

"Too small" is probably just flat. Admittedly I haven't actually seen a ciswoman with an actual flat chest, but I'm sure someone is unlucky. And to be honest, I'm not even sure that wouldn't be a turnoff, unless they looked way younger than they are.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

From my experience, cis women with breasts on the smaller side of sizes generally have more sensitive nipples and areolas. Their breasts give more sexual pleasure for them compared to those with breasts on the other end of the size spectrum.
Of course, this isn't true for everyone, but it's something I've noticed and that I get more certain about the more women I'm with as it keeps proving to be a good rule to follow.
I definitely don't put it down as absolute truth, though. I'm certain some other people have experienced the opposite or seen no general correlation.
Women with larger breasts that do get sexual pleasure from them have more often wanted and needed harder and/or more intense play, which makes some sense, IMO. And just to be clear, I'm not saying or think that any of this is better than the other. While I do have my preference, both in size and what kind of play it is, it's obviously always up to them about what and how. I don't think I've ever seen, in person or online, a cis woman with really big breasts climax from just nipple play, while I've seen two in person and many online with smaller breasts who have/do. Maybe it's, at least partly, because the nerves are concentrated in smaller areas and that the breasts experience less force and handling in some ways? A bit like how it is with circumcision and glans (penis tip) sensitivity for men, again in general and not an absolute.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah I don't have experience with more than one set of boobs and it turns out my ex just really was never into me.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've seen plenty. Go to the beach or lake and you'll see a variety of sizes, and sometimes the bikini just doesn't have anything to hold.

I don't live anywhere near a body of water unfortunately.

But there is a lazy river in a water park that I could just go observing in.

Large breasts are hypnotic in a way that smaller breasts aren't, and I don't deny that I'm attracted to them, but I'm not necessarily more attracted to them even though I am more likely to stare.

I also have a thing for the athletic flat-chested look. I had such a huge crush on my friend who was competitive long-distance runner.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh, I tend to feel bad for their mid to lower back in 5 to 10 years.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why do you wait so long to feel bad for them?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Because I'm still young enough that somebody I'd be likely to date probably would have about that much time before such back problems would crop up... well, assuming they try to do at least a bit of physical activity every other day or so.

I guess if that last part was not the case, then the back problems due to uber booba would occur roughly presently, so, semi-touche on that.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can't really tell from looks alone. I went to school with a girl who got a breast reduction at age 16 due to back problems. It didn't look crazy or anything or maybe she hid it well, but it was just some issue she had that no one knew about or would have guessed.

My old roommate back in the 90s did the same thing. She gave all of us "boys" a before photo before though lol. She was nice.

Her back problems got way better after.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh, that seems like a fairly rare occurence that you'd have to get it at age 16, but I do know that absolutely does happen.

... and/or me being from the US and your registered instance being... a Denmark instance?

Ya'll probably have actual healthcare over there, lol, and maybe such procedures are somewhat more common?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, it was covered by health care. It's not common that early in life, but I think it makes sense to get it sorted out as soon as possible before it makes the issue worse. I have never thought much about it, but in hindsight I think it must have been hell for her to go through.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I agree, it does make sense to tackle something like that as a young adult / post pubescence teen, a human body generally tends to handle surgery recovery of pretty much any kind when its closer to age 20 than age 40... but the, I guess you'd call them 'social' downsides are massive, kids are often brutal and cruel to other kids for really, really stupid reasons.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

All other things being equal I’d generally say bigger is better, but size is nowhere near the top of my criteria. That’s what I mean if I’m saying I don’t care about size; maybe that’s what others do too?

[–] parody@lemmings.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I read some study that claimed men had more of a symmetry than size preference, but that‘s just my memory from years ago

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

That would not surprise me since I often see symmetry listed as a fairly constant criteria for attractiveness in most human features. In practice I’m not sure how dissimilar one breast would have to be from another for me to actually notice but I’ve never seen asymmetric breasts even when my wife has tried to point it out.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup, three breasts is too many.

Eh, A cups on a Pixar mom are better than the best breasts in the world on a stick figure. They're just kinda... there? Sure they look nice, but they don't really summon a force in me.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The obsession about breasts is mostly American thing. Here in Europe it's all about ass.

[–] ccm29@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I live in Germany and can confidently say that's absolutely not true. It's also a weird thing to try and attach to Americans specifically?

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Well, I am from Poland, and I don't know any friend who is overly obsessed about women breasts. But if you look into American media, especially from few decades ago when it was normal to oversexualize women, it's all about that.

I haven't been to Germany yet, so I don't know what's normal there. But I might just have overgeneralized my observation, yeah.
