traditionalguy said...: I never did understand men who get off on an attraction to women's feet. Maybe I never needed my eyes to leave the true beauty on top. Different strokes for different folks.; 1/15/09, 10:26 AM
Bissage said...: I had a girlfriend who had giant knockers that slopped off to the sides whenever she would lie on her back.

Sometimes she would mention that she needed to spend more time at the gym so she could get those striations across her sternum.

That’s how I knew it was time to change the subject.; 1/15/09, 10:34 AM
Meade said...: traditionalguy,

Why either/or, man?

Take note: They are all parts of one whole.; 1/15/09, 10:35 AM
Bissage said...: Of course, on the plus side, whenever she unbuttoned her blouse, her breasts would spill out like playful baby whales.; 1/15/09, 10:35 AM

traditionalguy said...: Meade... You're right about why either/or when you can enjoy all. That's true as to size, shape, length, coloring, firmness and sesitivity. But what have feet got to do with it?; 1/15/09, 10:42 AM
Tibore said...: What?? They're not supposed to just stick up like round hills on a plain??

Those strippers lied to me...

Michael Haz said...: It's about time we talked about breasts. It's already January 15th, and this is the first (and overdue) breast thread.

I agree with Oprah for once. I also love (okay, admire is a better word) Kate Winslet's breasts.

Years ago, while I was single, I dated a woman who had cosmetic implants that were intended to make her nice breasts larger, rounder, firmer, and gravity-defiant. I hated them. They looked phony, and felt like rocks covered with naugahyde. They had lost their sensitivity and their natural bounciness.

I understand the need for reconstruction after surgery, and to correct imbalance, etc. But ruining a perfectly fine set of knockers with implants seems to be a crime against nature.; 1/15/09, 11:03 AM

William said...: In a mild way, I'm a foot fetishist. The good thing about women's feet is that they are relatively resistant to the aging process. I wish I was more obsessive about women's feet...There are many things that improve with age with women, but tits are not two of them. Well, I don't suppose many women have a fetish for man boobs either.; 1/15/09, 11:20 AM
fivewheels said...: This is kind of an example of dumbing down, though. That is, pretending that that which is average is the only thing that is normal or even acceptably "real". Some women's breasts, even natural ones, do not behave that way. They are, frankly, above-average breasts. Are they not real, then?

It's actually of a piece with the usual Oprah m.o. -- "real" people don't have functional lives, they only have dysfunctional lives. You're not real if you haven't screwed everything up.

We should celebrate all breasts, but stop pretending that appreciating the really great ones is evil or some kind of crime against the everyday ones. But no, it's more important to make those with everyday ones feel better, and nothing, nothing on earth, is more important to Oprah than feeling better. Certainly not reality.; 1/15/09, 11:21 AM

Depends on the woman!; 1/15/09, 11:54 AM
Meade said...: traditionalguy said...
"...But what have feet got to do with it"

Answer: Ask your woman whether she would rather you massage her feet or her breasts. Predictably, she will say both. Ask her where she would like you to begin. Predictably, she will say feet. While you are massaging her lovely feet, admire the beauty of her breasts.

Take all the time in the world.

If you are thoughtful and skillful at massaging her feet, predictably and eventually she will beg you to pay the same loving attention to her breasts.

Good luck and I will patiently await your report.; 1/15/09, 11:54 AM

What about that...huh...huh?; 1/15/09, 12:00 PM
SteveR said...: After almost thirty years and with temporary interference while our three kids were using them, I have always, and still very much apprecite my wife's breasts. They are real and they are spectacular.; 1/15/09, 12:07 PM
traditionalguy said...: Meade ... Have you ever known a woman whose feet were so sensitive she didnot like you rubbing them? Anyway, It takes good communication,patience and lots of honesty before any woman really lets go and surrenders to one of us rough and tough types.; 1/15/09, 12:18 PM
Trooper York said...: I think it is a cheap trick to get readers and comments by talking about breasts or showing pictures of hot women with bodacious ta-tas.

And you a C-Cup.; 1/15/09, 12:34 PM
cardeblu said...: Traditionalguy: "... Have you ever known a woman whose feet were so sensitive she did not like you rubbing them?"

Me! Me! Me! No one, and I mean NO ONE touches my feet...unless I am able to be right there holding them myself. You can rub my boobs all you want, but my feet? Nuh-uh. It's probably an irrational fear of being tickled, and I've been known to kick doctors who do a Babinski test on them.; 1/15/09, 12:46 PM
Meade said...: If you truly love women's breasts, tradguy, then you can't be all that rough. Question is, are you tough enough? Tough enough to ask her what she likes and to listen to what she tells you. Tough enough to pace yourself and be the one who sets the tempo. Tough enough to channel your own John Wayne: rough, tough, kind, gentle, with self-control.

She has sensitive ticklish feet? Try this: One foot at time. Your hands - warm and clean, smooth with lotion or oil, and, of course, strong.

Pay attention to her facial expressions to know if you are applying too much or too little pressure. The idea is to increase blood circulation to every cell of either foot and warm them up with your firm but gentle tough guy touch. I promise you she will, at the very least, appreciate your willingness to try.

By the way, it is not unreasonable for you to request that she first bathe her feet for you. Even luscious babes can have smelly feet by the end of a long hard day on them.; 1/15/09, 12:47 PM

Trooper, I had to scroll all the way back to Tuesday on your blog to find some titillation. Just sayin'; 1/15/09, 12:52 PM

Anthony said...: You can rub my boobs all you want

All right!

I'm not much of a boob man m'self, though I do appreciate a good pair. I'm a butt-and-legs man and she has those covered very well, too.

Wasn't Winslet all goofy not too long ago about being kind of overweight and how wonderful it was that a woman of a 'normal' size could be such a hot and talented actress? Then she trimmed down and is now a regular major hottie on the celebrity circuit. Same thing with Jennifer Love Huge-tits, errr, I mean Hewitt. Got all indignant that people were calling her fat because someone released some candid bikini pics. Then she went out, lost weight, and is all over the magazines promoting how she slimmed down.

Give it up ladies, you must maintain your hotness or give it up.; 1/15/09, 2:52 PM
Michael Haz said...: Yow! I was just outside in the -20F windchill.

Not sure how real breasts race for sanctuary in a woman's armpits, but when the cold temps hit my real stuff, those parts sure has hell raced for sanctuary! They may be there a while. June, maybe.; 1/15/09, 3:25 PM
traditionalguy said...: Meade... O K, I'll try it like you said. But what if she does kick me? Then I'll have to start all that Sharing of my Feelings again. That takes time because you have to listen a lot too. Pretty soon it's 2 AM and us older guys get sleepy. Maybe that's why God made Holidays...No work to get up for tomorrow.; 1/15/09, 4:11 PM
Darcy said...: Wow. Althouse is one lucky lady.; 1/15/09, 4:26 PM
Joe said...: Oprah is right; natural breasts rule!

Seriously, I can't be the only one who finds most fake breasts somewhere between comical and grotesque.; 1/15/09, 5:41 PM
Bissage said...: Okay . . . here goes . . . I once had a girlfriend who had very nice, round, firm breasts.

She looked GREAT in a sweater!

No too big.

Just right.

Very natural looking.

But, I swear to God, there was something inside each one of those puppies that felt like a little upside down bundt pan covered with a layer of thick rubber padding.

I never said a word.

But I became OBSESSED!!!

And I examined her like a physician giving a clinical exam every chance I got.

In all fairness, I should mention: (1) that she insisted on sex doggie style, much to my intimidation; (2) that I began to suspect that she was a pornographic actress; (3) that I thought she joked way too much about having sex with her brother; and (4) that the relationship didn’t last so long, her having dumped me within a month for some guy who played drums in a local band.

Oh yes . . . and she might have been addicted to cocaine.

It was the 1980s, after all.; 1/15/09, 6:12 PM
Meade said...: No, traditionalguy, that is why God made coffee.

But you're getting it: She shares her feelings, you listen, while you rub her feet carefully and confidently... and admire her breasts... and convey to her that she is safe in your hands because she is at once the woman you have chosen and the woman you desire.

It's all about trust. Don't ever tickle her feet. Tickling her feet will not build trust. Once she trusts you with her feet, she will want to trust you with her breasts. From there, brother, you are on your own.

Don't blow it... be alert... after all, the world needs more lerts.; 1/15/09, 6:38 PM

traditionalguy said...: Meade... Did I hear you right," Don't blow it." This is way too much advice at once. I'll have to do a complete make-over in my techniques. By the next time we talk, I'll either be winning many accolades or sleeping on the sofa. This is scary.; 1/16/09, 10:58 AM
