A Sale of Two Titties

There was never anything wrong with Joëlle’s tits. She is on the other side of 30 so maybe they do not stand at attention the way they used to but they still get the job done. Even so, time is crueler to women than men. Or maybe it is society and not time. We are taught from a young age that our sexuality revolves around our appearance. Sometimes short hair is fashionable, sometimes it is long hair. But you always have to have great tits to be a real woman. Boys seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses. And they really don’t want to get to second base and discover it is all tissues.

Breast-wise I'm at the small end of the scale, but I've never consider breast implants, maybe that's because no guy I've dated ever had a problem with their size. Maybe it's because my grandmother who was very well endowed in the bust department was always complaining about her top-heavy shape and what a literal pain in the back it was.

I once dated a guy who had a mole removed from his face in his teens. It wasn't an especially large mole, but for him it was a big deal, and he wouldn't let me see any childhood pictures of him. Then one day I accidentally saw one, and he freaked out. I didn't notice the mole until he pointed it out. I think many body modifications are like this. To the individual who has it done their "problem" area is a big deal. To everyone else it's barely noticeable.

It's an old joke, but it's true that men regard breasts as we regard Coke and Pepsi. We might express a preference for one or the other, but we'll be happy with whatever is offered.

I remember hearing about an acquaintance's mother who decided she needed a boob job. Her husband later said he didn't recognise them - they were like strangers.

"You’re not supposed to look 20 when you’re 60."

Why not?

I never liked my nose either. But I have grown used to it. I read a story where Jennifer Grey's friends didn't recognize her after she had a "nose job" and her career dried up. There was something distinctive about her nose, and her expression. She was never the same afterwards. Sometimes we have to be satisfied with what we are blessed with.

Alissa, I think we're all more critical of our bodies than anybody else.

Bill, I think men are only half the problem. If women weren't so insecure about their bodies they'd never let any man tell them to cut themselves open.

Michelle, I sincerely hope I don't look 20 when I'm 60. In fact I'm pretty sure I won't since I don't look 20 now.

Jo, I think Jennifer Grey looked better with the old nose but there could be a million reasons her career went south.
