Why would any sane person actually 'want' to have breasts?

[Nero]

Hello guys and dolls.
Why would any sane person actually 'want' to have these bouncy things on their chest?
Why would any sane person actually 'want' to wear a medieval torture device commonly known as a bra, strapped to their back?
They're nice to look at and touch, but why would any sane person want a pair of their own?
You can't run without them bouncing. In American society, you have to wear a shirt on a hot day to cover them, and a top when you swim. When bathing, you have this extra step of unfastening a bra (or binder), and then having to fasten it all over again when you step out.
We now have formula milk for our offspring, so what pray tell is the point of them now? Other than just to drool over.  
I sure enjoy them, but I just don't get it.

This is meant in fun, so no flames please. I'm hoping you ladies can explain the significance to me.

What puzzles me is, why are they there all the time? Most other mammals only have breasts when they're actually lactating.

I'm sure the answer to your question is pretty much the same as the answer to, "Why would anybody want to have balls?" Those also bounce around and are sensitive and inconvienent at times.

Well I agree that huge breasts would be a bind ... I'd just like a decent and manageable B cup.

A young woman friend said I should count myself lucky for being modest in that area.

Just that I want to look an average female shape, breasts make you move in a way that reads so feminine.

And I realise that breasts are man magnets  !

Guess its about "passing" and wanting to look attractive  .

Why do so many young natal women want to pump themselves up to a C or D or bigger .... seems like an epedemic right now !

P.S. And since when have TS women been completely sane  !!!

As 36C going probably on 36D, I will C that the bother of bigger breasts depends also on the band size, not just the cup size if the cup size is not higher than say D.

A 36C is not much of a bother a at all. They don't weight much so using a proper athletic bra, they'll stay in place during sports.

A 42C though... must be a pain though.

Ah ha I have them so does that make me insane...  Wait a sec... I have a document signed by my physician and two therapists that certify that I am certifiable... well certifiable enough for the surgeons.

P.S.  Oh ya rub it in mine don't bounce that much yet.

[Jonie]

Well I like having breasts because, wait did you say, "any sane person?" Never mind.

[Nero]

As 36C going probably on 36D,

sounds nice to me. >
Yeah, I also agree about band size being as important as cup size. A round and perky D cup is probably less cumbersome than a saggy, pendulous B cup.

[lifting her hand thoughtfully toward the heavens...]

"Because they are there."

[ahem] Uh, never mind.

As Tink said, it goes with the territory. Just like men like to have large <insert word for male genitals>, women like to have breasts. They make me feel more feminine.

Now the real question is, why do men like having something hanging down there all the time? It get's very annoying!

Because there all cudly and soft. Awww my little boobies how are you today? Whats that? Your well are you and youve been growing bigger have you!?! Thats good I love you, you little bouncy things you are!
Oh Im insane am I? ARe you? ARgh!

[Maud]

I've had the same thoughts about bras lately, they're just not particularly comfortable, these days i simply do without or wear a strapless.

I love having breasts myself.  Currently I'm wearing a 36D, but with losing weight, I either need to go down to a 36C or a 34D. They give me a feminine shape, they're fun to play with sometimes, they're a physical sign of womanhood, they give partners something to play with, and most of all, I love having the weight on my chest.  Prior to ever transitioning, I felt like there was a weight missing from my chest that should have been there.  I *always* had to sleep with a pillow on my chest to substitute for the missing weight.  When I first tried on silicon breast forms, the feeling of having weight on my chest just felt SO right.  However, I really disliked the fakeness of the forms.  Now that I have real breasts, my chest just feels normal.

As for bra shopping, I really hate doing that.  Especially with they're ever changing shape and size.  I have quite a bra collection of different sizes at this point and as they change shape, I can start switching from one size to another.

You are funny.

You know, this sounds silly, but it only finally dawned on me the other morning.. while strapping on said torture device... that OMG, I have to do this for the rest of my life now! Oh YAY, what fun!

My wife is... very curvy, lol, and I hear her complaining all the time about what pain in the back they are to carry around. I don't want that, and besides, large breasts would look funny on me I think as I'm sorta smallish in frame (just tall).

If I reach 36B, I'll be content. I want/need a female shape, but no more than necessary to achieve that since they can become so uncomfortable to manage.

i've always been puzzled by that.  why did my classmates get excited and flaunt them?  They are there for one purpose only, and if you don't want kids then they are in the way and useless.  It just doesn't make sense to me.   

[mavieenrose]

It IS funny when you think about it; before I had breasts I could go topless wherever I wanted, always had men talking to my face and not my chest, swimming costumes were cheaper (and simpler...), I didn't have to think about whether a top was see-through or not before putting it on, I didn't realise either of my nipples could ever be considered indecent by people, I never had young babies suddenly think I was dinner and try to breast-feed from me ...

Yes, why indeed would anyone want to have breasts ...

Don't know, but I'd definitely not want to give mine up ;-)

Great post Nero!

Actually, breasts in humans are not just about giving milk, if that was the case, they'd shrink in size to almost nothing like they do in other primates.

The breasts in humans are decidedly there for sexual reason, to intice the male. In primates, its the buttocks that does that (red for example). We don't have an interesting buttocks generally.

[with deadly seriousness]

Completion was impossible without them.

They were a dream come true, a prayer answered.

It was what told my counselor and me that I was transsexual: my years-long desire to have breasts.  I am happy with them.  Well, just a tad larger to ensure no wrinkles in my bra cups.

I dislike my boobs... I don't dislike boobs period but I dislike MY boobs.... they're really big, they hurt my back, and they're too saggy for my age..

but If I had more reasonably sized boobs I'd like them a LOT more...

to me breasts are sexy... I love the looks, the feel, the curves, the bounce... very beautiful
