12 Things You Didn’t Know About Boobs

If you are offended by breast posts, I apologize.  This is not to tittilate (pardon the pun) but to inform.  I actually found the information unusual and interesting, so I re-posted here.  As my regular readers know, unusual and interesting is kind of what I blog about…  When you get to number 3, it is because most women, like men, are right handed.  The more muscular side is the side you favor, so it makes the less muscular, fatty side, larger.  When you get to number 9, I believe the correlation is not due to the implants, but the personal body image and dissatisfaction with self that drives some to get them, that also makes them less happy in other areas of their lives as well.

Here is the article, enjoy, or ignore this one, up to you.

Did you know the left boob is usually bigger than the right boob? Meet amazing fact about people’s favorite part of the body, the boobs!

 World’s biggest boob job are a size 38KKK

World's biggest boob job are a size 38KKKIn early 2009, Sheyla Hershey of Brazil was awarded the Guinness World Record for having the largest set of breasts. After nine surgeries and more than a gallon of silicone, her breasts are a size 38KKK.

 There is a NGO that fights for women’s right to be topless

There is a NGO that fights for women's right to be toplessGoTopless.org is an US organization which claims that women have the same constitutional right to be bare chested in public places as men. They often promote (topless) gatherings to claim for their rights. (Link)

 The left breast is usually larger

The left breast is usually largerNo two breasts are exactly the same size, and it is usually your left breast that is bigger than the right side. However, often the difference is so slight you’d never notice they are of different sizes. Nipples also come in varying sizes, not only that, they also point in different directions.

 Breasts are the first thing men notice in a woman

Breasts are the first thing men notice in a womanNo news here. Research conducted at the Victoria University of Wellington showed that breasts are often the first thing men look at, and for a longer time than other body parts. Nothing to be ashamed of since another study said that staring at women’s breasts for just minutes a day can improve a man’s health and add four to five years to his life. (Link)

 Men can lactate too

Men can lactate tooIt’s exceptionally rare, but since men possess mammary glands just like women do, they have the capacity to produce milk. When male lactation happens, it’s usually because of hormonal treatments for diseases like cancer. (Link)

 England is the country with biggest breasts in Europe

England is the country with biggest breasts in EuropeA survey made by bra maker Triumph found that British women have the biggest boobs in Europe. More than half of women in that country wear a size D cup. Denmark scored second while Holland was third. On the other hand, Italian women had the smallest breasts where 68 percent had a size B. (Link)

 The average breast weighs one pound

The average breast weighs one poundThe average breast weighs about 0.5 kilograms (1.1 lb). Each breast contributes to about 4-5% of the body fat and thus 1% of the total body weight of an average woman. (Link)

 Breasts get fat

Breasts get fatIn your 20s, your boobs are made up of fat, milk glands and collagen — the connective tissue that keeps them firm. But as you age, the glands and collagen shrink and are replaced by more and more fat. Instead of making your bra size go up, however, the added flab can send breasts down, closer to the floor, if you catch our drift. (Link)

 Breasts augmentation may lead to suicide

Breasts augmentation may lead to suicideWomen who get breast implants are at least three times more likely to commit suicide, a risk that increases with time. As the August 2007 Annals of Plastic Surgery reported, it’s unlikely that silicone toxicity causes the correlation. It’s more probable that women who undergo breast augmentation are more apt to have an underlying psychiatric problem that predisposes them to suicide. (Link)

 Breasts implants can also save you from death

Breasts implants can also save you from deathBig breasts miraculously saved an Israeli woman from death at the hands of a Lebanese paramilitary organization. The incident occurred during a Hezbollah rocket attack. The victim got a boob job two years ago. During the war, she was wounded in the chest by shrapnel but survived because of her implants. While the patient is fine, the implant, unfortunately, did not survive. (Link)

    If this is what I’m supposed to not have already known, I can only presume this was written for men.

        Maybe it is just for men then lol. There was an interesting show on biological attraction I will have to hunt down on why men are attractive to curves with cleavage, both chests and bottoms. There are also several studies that show men live longer if they stare at women’s chests for an hour a day. It is one of the things we men, as pigs, do. Even as a happily married man of 28 years, if I see cleavage my eyes zoom on it.

  2. I didn’t know there’s an NGO that fights for women’s rights to be topless. I guess it makes sense, since guys can go without a shirt without any issue while girls can’t do it so nonchalantly, but it still sounds somewhat odd.
