Great trivia! Just spent an hour reading ignorant comments deriding someone very depressed & blaming her for her situation - and responding to their lack of compassion. Feeling drained & despondent.

Your article lifted me (no pun intended, after all, I'm male). Even at 75 I remain turned-on by women's breasts - strangely more when they're hidden than when they're not. I also have to admit that I am not turned on by fat bodies or big breasts, though in mitigation, I don't 'fat shame' nor consider those with shapes that fail to excite me as any lesser persons than those who do.

So, perhaps I'm just a 'dirty old man'. I don't know. I do know that I've never consciously harassed any woman or coerced or forced her to do anything against her will or understanding.

I guess it no longer matters, anyway - for when one gets to this age or so it seems to me, what others think becomes far less of an issue.

So, getting back to the main topic, no, I don't like 'boob tubes'. They never look right to me for from my side they appear to be oppressing the breast, as opposed to caressing the breast, which of course being the old pervert that I am, is something that I remember once enjoying immensely and something which I found curiously comforting. - A Freudian return to memories of infant joy, perhaps?

So, give me an old fashioned blouse, tee-shirt, loosely fitting shirt that hangs in a way suggestive of what's underneath, rather than exaggerating it such that my mind is deluded into thinking of balloons or rubber balls.

However, not that I'm deteriorating and my body degenerating, I find myself disgusted at the pale imitations of breasts which my own chest appears to have developed. It is so appalling that I am now more careful than the average woman, I think, to expose my torso in public. I can't even look at myself in the mirror without a sense of shame.

So, whilst I can't say that I'm in favour of women wearing boob tubes - (my suggstion for a name: glad wraps) - perhaps I should consider wearing one myself.

Have a great xmas & an even better new year.
