Gotta Fix Something To Feel Attractive?
Guess what’s making a comeback? Silicone breast implants! (Deafening applause.) Aren't women wondrous? We nip, we tuck, we implant, we liposuck. All this to enhance our seemingly pathetic femininity. Is that why we try to renovate our bodies as if they were an old car? Are silicone implants really the “cure” for small breasts? Geeze Louise, even the idea of 'A' cups being viewed as some kind of disease freaks me out.
And guys, are there THAT many of you dissatisfied with the size of your yoyo that all of us need to get soooooo much email offering to make it larger/longer/thicker quicker? What's going on anyway?
Eleven years ago, silicone was banned after many women testified about ruptures, replacements, and arthritis. Now, women want them back. “Men have the right to choose Viagra even if they have a risk of heart disease,” they say. “Women should have the right to make a choice like that about silicone implants.” The FDA in reviewing these requests is stumped in assessing the risks and benefits of bigger breasts.
In the battle against the “disease of small breasts,” enlargements, euphemistically referred to as “augmentations,” rose from 32,607 in 1992 to 225,818 last year. Implants are even a popular gift for high school graduates. Gag me. All this flies in the face of the fact that 20% of those who undergo cosmetic enlargements will need another operation for problems within three years, and we still have no idea about long-term troubles. It's like the warning on a pack of ciggies isn't enough for us either. More woman smoke now than men. Gawd!! How dumb are we? No, don't ask her, she smokes.
Why do women choose to take such risks? We have been taught to feel badly about our bodies from little on up. Small breasts are a disease. We're told that men get impotence because their wives have small breasts. Straight male “experts” define what we should or should not look like. Why? Because their women encourage them to do it. Just how important is this to the sisters?
I think the makeover that many of us need is with our thinking. I’d say the same for men, but I'm no authority on male sexuality. Guys, do they have to be bigger, bolder, brasher to be better? Isn't it better to be loved for who you are rather than for some medically enhanced image that will only fade with age, bring on back problems for us girls and who knows what for the guy? Tell us, boys, is it easier to get it suck in your zipper when it's longer?
Girls. You're sexuality is NOT defined by the size of your boobs or penis! I hate to say this, but if your partner can't get turned on by the sight of your naked body it's time to cut and run. They're forked up, not you. Girls, getting implants isn't going to change that. Guys, that goes for you too. The size of your schwantz has nothing to do with the size of your heart.
I can ALMOST understand it if you're working in show business. Those people are all screwed up anyway. Hollywood wants everyone to believe that the only desirable woman is one that's very young, thin, and has tits to kill. You guys have to suffer with the macho image Hollywood portrays too.
You know, one kewl thing about being gay is that looks don't matter as much to us as as love does. We're more willing to accept people as they physically are. I hope that never changes with us.
The FDA okayed the return of silicon implants by a vote of 9-6. One doesn’t have to wonder about the gender of the voters.
