Question, do those triple Ks come with a white sheet and coned hood?

I guess this woman doesn't believe in s sharing. She's large enough for about 25 normally endowed women.

She's single-handedly kept Dow solvent. (I think there's a pun in there somewhere).

< rant on >

When I was working in the production illustration department at Boeing years ago, there was a young woman who came through the department a couple of times a week carrying drawings to the blueprint machine to have them blueprinted. She was about five feet six or seven and generally well-proportion—except that she had a bustline that looked like she was smuggling (I'm not kidding!) a pair of basketballs. There were a few guys in the department who were juvenile enough to gawk and giggle and nudge each other and make comments. I'm sure she was aware of this, and she always looked to me as if she were in a perpetual state of embarrassment.

I—and a few other guys, and women, too—felt embarrassed for her because with that kind of "endowment," she couldn't go anywhere without running into the same kind of stares and snickers. She was definitely a candidate for breast-reduction surgery, but this is hardly something that a guy can walk up to a woman and suggest. . . .

Why someone would deliberately do something like that to herself and consider it attractive (attractive to what kind of man!?), I will never understand.

Kat, I'll let you put up the thread about the 'male member', although I confess I sometimes try to sneak a peak over the urinal divider...just to check out the competition once in awhile. ;)

The reason I put up the article is that I found it bizarre that a woman would put herself out there like that (so to speak). If you read the article, you know that she had to go out of the country to have this record setting surgery. And she is obviously very proud of how she looks.

Had this woman just been naturally larger than the average woman, I would not have commented on it, anymore than I would comment on any other physical attribute or deformity.

If I ever come across a story of a man who is trying to set the record for the worlds largest penis, I'll PM you about it. That's a
solemn promise.

Oh, if I've offended anybody here by posting this story, and commenting on it

I think the usual "standard recordholder" on dick size was "Big John" Holmes, a very well known pornstar, who died of aids some years back, but there was a TV programme here in the UK about a chap who was supposed to be the biggest in the UK and it wasn't (I am told, I didn't actually watch it) so much the length, but the width - if I remember aright, 6 inches across (not round, across).

The link in the first post has an extraneous "/" at the beginning that confuses IE. Omitting it, the link works when pasted in IE.

But here's the link clickified just for (I never bother with such things if there is no blue clicky) kendall.

The picture is pretty tame, and in fact is not any great competition for a number of rather grotesque samples to be found with Google image search by those who have incredibly good anti-malware defenses and are careful about where they go to look.

(Of course I know that only because samples occasionally come up in the results when I'm looking for serious clinical subjects for wholesome and respectable purposes - and I've only looked at the thumbnails in the search results. I guess I'm well past the age to be much excited - or impressed - by such stuff, or even to remember a time when I might have been. I'm much more impressed by a pretty smile.)

hmmmm!

My cousin and her 2 daughters were cursed(?) with unnaturally large breasts. My cuz would not undergo reduction surgery even though she had constant neck, shoulder and back ache. She was afraid that she would put herself under the knife for no reason and her breasts would increase in size again.

Until one icy evening after work, she slipped and the weight of her breasts pulled her forward. She could not right herself and she broke both wrists in that fall. As soon as the casts came off her arms, she and one (maybe both) of her daughters arranged to have breast reduction surgery.

There was a programme on television last night in the 'The World's Most... ...and Me' series last night about the world's most enhanced breasts and featured a woman called 'Minka', who whilst not the biggest per se was pretty 'over the top'.

I caught about 10 minutes after the Terry Pratchett Alzheimer's documentary. I couldn't watch any more as I wanted to reach into the screen and punch her 'manager' and 'co-star' who seemed keen to exploit her until she was 70 years old.

She seemed obviously unhappy with her situation - particularly as she was a promising tennis player when she was younger and seemed to regret not pursuing it - but also seemed almost as enamoured with money as her manager.

He really did seem to be an odious little shit.

Lolo seemed to be quite a sad person. Yet another damaged girl chewed up and spat out by leeches who proliferate in the porn industry. Huge self-esteem problems apparantly caused by a mother who actually admitted to wanting her daughter to hate her own body. The husband seemed like another one of those loathsome little pimp types, he even sold photos of her dead in her coffin... I would've posted a link to the piece I read online, but it has a few pics of tits and fanny so thought the mods might not appreciate.

Having said that, I don't think you need to be mentally ill, depressed or insecure to use your looks and your breasts (however large they may be) as a pragmatic investment. Lot's of girls in the glamour business are pretty savvy, and in no way 'vulnerable'. IF the woman above is making a sound living out of having the biggest breasts in the world, I guess that's literaly her business. Can't say I think it's a very useful thing for young girls to see all this stuff though. It is so distorting, and must inevitably (along with all the other Barbie bullshit saturating our tabloids and telly's) lead to various types and degrees of dismorphia in many young women.

Kat, since she commissioned the surgery, it seems to me that she is exploiting the suckers who get a hard on over several pounds of moulded silicone, thinking it is part of a woman. I don't see her as victim.

What does worry me is that we have reached the state where the target in terms of sexual attraction can only be reached by surgery. That cannot be good for evolution and the survival of the species.

Curiously the cult of mammary enhancement elevates sexual maturity as attractive in a woman, whereas Brazilians and armpit shaving elevate sexual immaturity, demonstrating a cultural paedophilia that we deny by opressing those who suffer from actual personal paedophilia.

It's all going very Pete Tong.

You can damn well bet there is some man, maybe more than one, who has encouraged this woman, maybe even coerced AND, in the matter of the surgeons, actually proceeded with the deformation of her body. Yes, she apparently wanted to do this, but why? If you think it was on her own with no input from others, particularly a man, maybe you should read Happy Hooker and see just how influential men can be. Women can be, also, but with something like this, there is almost always men involved.

As for her fifteen minutes of fame...is a woman's worth to be measured by the money she makes exploiting her body? Do you want to contribute to that?

Richard, this made absolutely no sense at all: Curiously the cult of mammary enhancement elevates sexual maturity as attractive in a woman, whereas Brazilians and armpit shaving elevate sexual immaturity, demonstrating a cultural paedophilia that we deny by opressing those who suffer from actual personal paedophilia.

Seriously, it is sad that there is a market for such things, and that anyone would intentionally undergo surgery to achieve such size. She will regret it, I will wager.

And whatever she measures, it is no record....there's always someone larger. Perhaps she is only the largest one seeking publicity currently (and who is otherwise youngish & pretty enough to make her an object of ...ummmm...'desire', rather than of ridicule.)

Doubtless there are men involved. That will probaby be because in general, mostly it is men who find women sexually attractive.

Why such men find women with exaggeratedly large breasts attractive is to me more puzzling, but since breasts are a secondary sexual characteristic it is not surprising that they are focussed upon. I find the focus on depilation more surprising.

However, it is not only men, but also women, who measure the "worth" of a woman by her sexual attractiveness to men and it seems that women compete on that ground.

I am not aware of the gender of the surgical team who performed the operation.

So, no, I am still not convinced that "men are to blame".

I find it very interesting that we can have some of the most contentious arguments about politics, international relations, religion, race, economics and myriad other topics, and nobody calls for shutting down the threads in the BS section. But sex so taboo to a couple of people who find the topic repugnant that they want to close this thread down.

So we'll start by eliminating this thread. Then maybe Azizi's topics on race relations. Then we can eliminate discussion of Israel and Palestine. Moving right along we can drop discussions of President Obama's tax cheaters. Or Bush or Democrats or Republicans.

And finally we can simply eliminate BS altogether as anybody rails against a topic that offends them personally.

I am really disappointed in Harpgirl, and especially Katlaughing since I most always enjoy her posts, agree or disagree. It is their right to disagree with the comments posted, and to criticize the thread, and even me. But it is altogether wrong of them to call for shutting it down.

I'm on record already in this thread as saying I've wanting to punch two men guilty of exploiting these women. I'm not keen on people exploiting others generally, even more so if women are coerced in some way to go to extremes of plastic surgery.

However, I'm not sure what you're saying is quite as true as it once was and whilst Happy Hooker probably reflected much of the reality of the porn industry the best part of 40 years ago, I think over the last 10 years or so, the nature of pornography has changed. Yes, the same kind of things are still being sold and in a lot of cases people are genuinely being exploited - often, but not always, by men but I honestly don't believe it's as cut and dried any more.

Whilst it's widely accepted that pornography has shaped the internet (it's been massively influential in driving a lot of technological advances) I think often it's missed that the internet and related technology has also shaped porn. A technological platform that's allowed and encouraged all manner of self-publishing has also allowed 'skin self-publishing' where people are now producing pornography that can cut out the traditionally exploiting middle-man, in much the same way that many musicians &c. utilise the platform.

Also, the WWW part of the internet exploded after various cultural trends broke in many parts of the world. The UK saw 'Ladettes' and 'Girl Power' for example. Britain now has a culture where glamour models are something to aspire to and have celebrity status. Now it could be argued as to whether any of this was as empowering as some of the women involved actually thought it to be, but the fact remains, many women are now getting naked not because some man is telling them to, but because 'they want to' and 'it's their body' and so on.

The last ten years or so has seen things like 'cam whores' appearing where women either strip or perform - of their own volition, with no exploiting middle-man - for things like items off 'wish lists' on commercial sites like Amazon or for payments directly into a paypal account &c. In these kinds of scenarios, it's hard to see who exactly is being exploited here, if anyone.

You've also seen trends in pornography that buck particular stereotypes as to what women and women in pornography should look like. Whilst there are still a lot of women that feel pressured to look certain ways in order to sell 'product' - and often get plastic surgery in order to do so - the truth is the market for pornography is so diverse now that a woman with any kind of look, fashion or bodyshape could find a market to suit: it's not just women with freakishly big plastic tits or women who look like Barbie dolls.

I'll admit that a lot of what I've mentioned here I really don't understand in that I'm not wholly comfortable with or don't actually agree with. For example, whilst if a woman wanted to become a glamour model, I've never looked down on it I struggle with the idea that society has allowed it to become a good thing in that it's something to aspire to rather than, say, a doctor/nurse/teacher &c. I'm not comfortable with young girls and teenagers having appropriated iconography like the Playboy logo, for example which I've seen on the clothing of pre-teen kids before now.

However, as much as I don't like these things, perhaps I've got to admit that, in 2009, I'm one of those out of step now. I don't know!

Mmm, I do see Katlaughings point. And I understand why she would want what she perceives to be a thread demeaning to women to be closed.

Yet I see it as a pertinent thread for this day. Not only for the reasons it was initiated, but for the responses it has already gleaned, and for the highly immediate issues it is already in its short life, initiating debate about.

Yes, the thread was initiated not in a "let's discuss this sensibly" in a grownup fashion, but in a "Let's all joke about this circus freak" style fashion.

But, irrespective of that - or indeed maybe because of that - it has already evolved into a worthwhile discussion of contemporary values around the uses, abuses and misuses of contemporary Western defined images of the "idealised" female body.

I say let it stand. And I will contribute to it as it will no doubt rage on, in the best and most thoughtful ways that I am able.

I had a few requests that this thread be closed. I agree that there are some stunning examples of extremely bad taste in some of the posts, but I can't really see a precedented reason for closing it.

I hope the thread dies a quick and painful death. If you who dislike it could refrain from posting, the others will get bored and go away.

In other words,

If you don't like it, boycott it!!

This thread is important, kat.

Women are degrading themselves. They are doing this by their own volition.

Why?

Because we have two generations who have been 'groomed'

I just wrote War & Peace about it all, then went to post it, and found the thread had been closed, so I deleted it...Darn it.
