“i have a feeling this study was really conducted by adolescent males...
Can Wearing A Bra Kill You? ”

“Interesting article.

Sounds like bull#&%!$, but interesting nonetheless...”

“ohhh, man! Gets me thinking- I should switch to boxers!”

“I think we need more "hands-on" research. I would be more than happy to offer my services......”

“If it really had been conducted by adolescent boys, the title probably would have been something closer to Can going topless all the time save your breasts?”

“LMAO!

my friend who's doing a walk for the cure sent me this...i don't think she checked it out too much. it seems that book was written in 1995! i think we'd have all heard about it by now if there was anything to it...”

“Oh no, lyra! The Medical-Industrial Complex is keeping this information HIDDEN and SUPPRESSED!

If bras caused breast cancer, then just think about what corsets would have done. Like I said, bull#&%!$.”

“I heard jumping rope helps too!”

“Great bouncing bosoms!

I think they’re right. It is a conspiracy driven by greed. Some days, my newspaper has more bra ads than news!

Burn baby, burn!”

“The massage advice was very good but why wait till your home?”

“riiiiight, aero! ;-)

bitpusher, your bull#&%!$ detector is amazingly sensitive and accurate! i saw that thread where some girl wanted everyone to e-mail her with questions about some trip she did, and you really nailed her with the "spam" thing!”

“The only problem with going braless is, although you may be cancer-free, by age 80 your bra size will be 34 Extra Long.”

“I've posted on this subject before (I didn't bother reading this article); and I also discuss it with my students. The fact of the matter is that countries where women don't wear bras do not have breast cancer. There are other factors too, of course - such as the average age women have children, breast feeding etc.

This has nothing to do with adolescent boys - not wearing a bra has nothing to do with modesty or the lack thereof. Any woman can 'go' bra-less without exhibiting herself by choosing the appropriate clothing.

My own interest (ahem) is that I am a rugby coach. I coach high school boys and girls, as well a senior women. There is some belief that repeated blows (as in a contact sport) to the breasts can cause them to develop cancer later. Also, because of tissure tear during running, I advise my girls to wear a sportsbra - two for girls who have large breasts. I deal with the subject in a serious manner (away from the boys) and have never had a problem.

Some women, particularly those with large breasts fear that their breasts will sag without a bra. This is similar to the fear of bulging bellies without girdles in the late sixties. Of course we discovered that this was not quite true. Women who had always worn girdles had stomachs that bulged because abdominal muscle tone had never developed under the support. Young women to-day - some very attractive and slim ones - would look at you as if you were mad should you suggest that they wear a girdle.

Some women/girls tell me that they believe the danger is with underwire bras. I personally don't know if there would be a difference. JMHO.”

“that was just a little joke to warm up the crowd, gremlin ;-) actually, that article gave me pause because of the fact that, as you said, women don't get breast cancer in countries where bras are not worn. that, and the fact that some bras (like underwire) are so uncomfortable. usually, if your body tells you something is unhealthy, it is.... i'm not saying i believe that bras give you breast cancer, but maybe it's not completely BS, who knows. just an interesting article.”

“Maybe in those contries where they don't wear bras, they also do not consume pesticides, preservatives, etc. like we do. Less chemicals in their body, less disease. I have no proof for this theory, just a guess.”

“"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to PASSWORD. I'm your host Allen Ludden. Hi Nipsey! Hi Kitty! Who are our two guests?"

"Hi Allen, I'm Marvin Gardens... a bra salesman from Topeka.

"Hi Marvin! Nice Hat! What's that you're drinking?"

"Hi Allen, I'm H.R Puffinstuff... and I'm about to join the Coast Guard."

"GREAT, H.! Shall we proceed? Here is your first word... "


(THEN... in a Tremendously Loud Stage-Whisper, we hear...)

"The word... is... PENDULOUS."”

“And Nipsey says to Marvin...”

“But why is the average lifespan longer in bra wearing countries than in non bra wearing countries?

Could it be that in non bra wearing countries the women trip over their boobs while fleeing predators and thus get eaten?”

“Gremlin, big breasted girls running without wearing a bra can get blackeyes.”

“Is there any corelation between size and cancer?”

“I've heard there is, but don't know that for a fact.”

“It's the steriods and chemicals that they feed to the livestock that's giving us cancer (and other variables). Girls aged 11 or 12 are starting to get breasts...it's not normal. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!”

“Thanks for another reason, valid or not, to not wear one of those over the shoulder boulder holders. But in my case they are closer to cobbles or pebbles than boulders. Free the masses, both of them.”

“I think no bra is the best!!!!

8)”

“I'm glad I never wore a bra.”

“dude, you are hysterical..!
you should seriously consider switching to boxers tho...heh..silk ones...:)”

“So, currently, you are Aero-dynamic?”

“Veeeeery interesting.”

“I'm posting just to keep this thread going. Lotsa good stuff and funny too.”

“thinkin' about Going Commando today...”

“what about a thong or a g-string?

sincerely,
Strumpet and/or Whore ”

“lol...that was hilarious, lyra...”

“that's Strumpet to you! so what's your preference, bitpusher...boxers, briefs, boxerbriefs, g-string, commando, codpiece?”

“lol, ok Strumpet!

Normal everyday wear is briefs.
On the trail I prefer boxers.

Commando hurts too damn much.

A codpiece would be interesting...

So what's yours, eh?”

“i'm sorry, that's a very personal question.”

“LOL!”

“heheeee! i wear boring old underwear, the kind most girls wear. no g-strings...not that an all-day wedgie sounds unappealing or anything ;-)

if i were a guy, i'd go with boxer-briefs, they're so cute!”

“You have to wonder who they're making that underwear for. I guess most of it is rarely on for more than 30 seconds, so the wedgie-factor never comes into play...

And nothing is stopping you from wearing boxer-briefs anyway, lyra....lol....”

“Q. What did one sagging breast say to the other?


A. If we don't get some support soon people will say we're nuts!”

“thong = butt floss”

“That gives me an idea...what if you could sell disposable thong underwear on a roll...hmmmm....

You could package it in a big container that looked like a dental floss box and call it "Butt Floss" disposable underwear....”

“a butt floss sandwich, what!”

“not that kind of roll....lol”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This "cancer prevention" thread sure took a wrong turn!”

“Commando! For quick release.”

“My husband just got back from a business trip, and he said that a woman in the security check line at the airport set off the metal machines with her underwire bra! She had to leave with a lady security guard for a search. He said that she was only average size. How awful for that poor lady, unless she was hiding switchblades in there!”

“oh, wanna hear a funny airport story? the last time Tarpy and i flew, about a month ago, both of us got searched both coming and going. when we were getting on the plane, the guy who was searching him asked him to please take a drink of our drinks, which he was holding. (i guess to prove that they were really ingestible, and not lighter fluid or something.) but Tarpy thought the guy said that HE (not Tarpy) would have to take a drink of our drinks. Tarpy was like, "WHAT?? you can just throw them away, that's weird!" i didn't hear that whole exchange, and when we were on the plane, he asked why the guys searching us wanted to try our drinks. ROTFLMAO!!!”

“Oh lyra, too funny! That happens to me all the time, people mumble so much that I get baffled and think that they are crazy!”

“lyra- that happened to my wife in the seattle sirport a few years ago. She had a water bottle and they made her take a drink from it. She said "ptoooei! This water tastes like lighter fluid!" (not really, but the first part is true)”

“i'm sure that from his reaction, they must've thought something was amiss!”
