Why do women wear bras?

[JohnKleeb]

Did a woman invent the bra? Do you like wearing them? What do you like about them?

Is it a cultural thing - where you wear bras because that's what everyone does. Or do you actually like them?

I'm not sayin' there's anything wrong with them. In fact, I love the fact that women wear them
They come in pretty colors and designs too.

1. johnny, love ...

Just how old are you?

[JohnKleeb]

2. I am 17

I know why, and I was just following the trend.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. I wear them because I like them .

And they come in nice colors and designs .

ok I wear them because I was scarred as a child someone once told " Always wear your bra or you will have sagging boobs like Ms.Johnson at church ! " Oh the horror at age 10 to be told that . But nowadays I feel like the 70's ( without burning the bra ) and I go without :)

Why do guys wear speedos ? LOL

[ogradda]

5. that's interesting

i was told the same thing. around the same age too.

[JohnKleeb]

6. Why do guys like speedos?

You're asking the guy who is afraid of them. Ahh this is interesting night, learning secrets of female life, do you guys really get a special bathroom? the girls would always brag to us, our bathroom is clean and colorful!, is that true?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

10. Hmmm should I answer this . LOL

In HS the boys bathrooms were cleaner than the girls bathrooms which is suprising . Do not ask me how I know how clean the boys bathroom is .

In college , well its college .... NO ONE'S BATHROOM IS CLEAN IN COLLEGE ! BECAUSE ... ITS COLLEGE ! :)

[JohnKleeb]

13. Oh I know how you know, you asked a guy

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

21. Wrong ! I just went in there one day after school .

I am very bold like that . I could have gotten suspended for that but I did'nt . HAHAHAHA !

[JohnKleeb]

24. hah bold

[IronLionZion]

18. Some Women's restrooms offer actual rest

like couches and whatnot. Don't ask my how I know this. And I imagine they are cleaner because they don't have drunken buffoons and dirty truckers peeing all over the place!

[nini]

12. mine are starting to sag and I've worn the stinking bras!!

:cry:

I guess they can only do so much :evilgrin:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. Well don't cry

I wish I had more :cry: But I want the natural boobs . Meaning I will wait for nature to take its course after I have kids . So I have heard they suddenly " appear " around that time .

[nini]

25. they sure did for my sis

she went from a small B cup to whopping Ds!! stayed that way too! :-)

I hate fake boobs.. I'd rather have natural saggy ones myself.

[jdj]

16. breasts sag because of hormonal changes.

[miss_kitty]

26. yeah. but they won't sag so badly

and if you get tough athletic bras that don't let anything move, that's better than the little fancy ones

[miss_kitty]

4. when you post this again after your 18th bday, i may consider

answering, beyond "it has to do w/ gravity."

[JohnKleeb]

7. I already know why

I was copying the skirt/dress and panties threads.

[miss_kitty]

19. i knew that

when i started typing my 'cryptic' answer, there were only the first two comments on the thread. since i am a slow crap typist, who is also a perfectionist-well you see how many people were willing to corrupt your young mind with womenly secrets-before i could get my WISE answer up... :D heh heh

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

8. Johnny

honey.....when you have 42DDs, you HAVE to.

End of story.

I wear wire on my ribs every day. It sucks. But it's that or.....oh no the visual is too awful

[JohnKleeb]

9. Eh I am just copycating

I really do know why, I just like to poke fun.

[tandot]

11. I truly think guys invented bras...probably Repukes...

Why would any woman come up with that stuff??? I hate them! They pinch and never fit right...pretty colors, my ass :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

14. I think bras were invented before the republican party came along

:)

[JohnKleeb]

17. btw guys this is the inspiration

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1657463
The guys apparently wanna get femmy tonight, I guess one of the fellas tried on his wife's skirt and thought it was fun, so kajing he got the whole guy lounge populace curious.

[elperromagico]

20. Well, I don't know why women wear them, but I wear them because...

ah shit! I've said too much. :o

[JohnKleeb]

22. does your mom know you like to dress up?

:D

[elperromagico]

27. No. Nor does she know about the bodies in the crawlspace...

SHIT! There I go again.

Loose lips sink ships!! :scared:

[JohnKleeb]

28. haha

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

23. LOL !

:: spits up soda at monitor ::

[shraby]

29. I don't know why women wear bras

but I sure would like to get hold of the person who invented stretchy straps for them.

[Dirk39]

30. Oops,...

What the hell are speedos? Did I miss something in old Europe? Is this a new kind of fast food or preemptive strike?
Don't leave me behind, superpower!

Helpless in Germany,
Dirk

[IronLionZion]

39. tight little swimsuits for men

that competitive swimmers and shamelss Europeans wear. Speedo is the popular brand name but other brands make them as well. I use to swim competitively and Speedos are the main reason I don't anymore! the horror...the horror!

Now Speedo goggles are another story. That's good stuff.

[JohnKleeb]

41. I did too and even then I refused to wear them

I was like young, so even then I was stubborn and principled :D but hey there is a slight advantage of swimming competively now, *cough* girls. Lovin swimbabes.

[Old and In the Way]

31. So men can take them off........

:-)

[JohnKleeb]

32. we have a winner

[Nikia]

33. I felt the need to wear one after I got used to wearing one

I murtured physically fairly early. Unfortunately, I was not interested in girly things as a pre teen and my mother did not teach me about being a woman for some odd reason. I did not wear a bra as early as I should have. In sixth grade, the boys made fun of me. One suggested that I stuffed my bra. When I said that I didn't even wear a bra, he said that I was going to look like Dolly Parton. Finally, my step mother bought me my first bra. It was a 34B, which was really my size. I hated wearing it. By the time I was a freshman in high school though, I was uncomfortable doing anything without one.

[SarahB]

34. Because my back would hurt if I didn't.

I'm relatively busty for my size and if I don't wear one, it's uncomfortable for my back. My puppies need a little containment.

[curse10]

35. many reasons: it hurts not too, our breasts would be down to our knees

by the time we reached 30 if we didn't, they are pretty, and men like them :P

[onebigbadwulf]

36. They don't wear them around me

bada bing!

[IronLionZion]

40. no bra or panties?

either you are at a nudist camp or there are no women around to wear them!

[onebigbadwulf]

43. My body blows clothes off women

[Dzimbowicz]

37. I can't resist a little humour here

My second language is German and I once encountered a Freudian discussion on the gender of certain body parts in the German language. For those of you who do not speak German, every noun has a gender (masculine, feminine or neutral; there is also a plural 'gender'). Well, the word for 'bosom' is masculine (der Busen, the plural form is die Busen) and the word for a bra is also masculine (der Busenhalter). What is even more weird is the German word for nipple (die Brustwarze); it literally translates as 'breast wart'. Damn, no wonder the Germans aren't known for being romantic! I could continue with a few more, but I do not that it would be all that appropriate.

[JohnKleeb]

42. no, please I want humor

Thanks for that tiddy bit.

[Dzimbowicz]

45. OK, but I'll leave most of it to your imagination...

The German word for 'the hand' is 'die Hand', which is feminine. Maybe, for some guys....

I hope that I'm not too out of line here; if so, I apologise.

[JohnKleeb]

46. dude youre fine

Feel free. Just don't be posting about how you have to take a crap :D and I am sure all will be good. German is messed up language I think, I could never learn it really, but some names are oh so dirty.

[Dzimbowicz]

47. Since you enjoyed that....

Here are a couple of more weird things from German...
Several obviously phallic objects: a banana (eine Banane), a rocket (eine Rakete), a sausage (eine Wurst) and a snake (eine Schlange) are all feminine. However, the word for tunnel (der Tunnel) is masculine.

[Bertha Venation]

38. I loathe them but only because I can't find one that fits decently.

I like colorful bras -- blue, red, and black is as adventuresome as I've gotten, though.

I wear them, John, Dear, because if I didn't, my tits would flop around under my blouse/shirt and attract unwanted attention.

[juslikagrzly]

44. Who the hell knows?

They hurt, they're uncomfortable, they suck! Breasts should sag naturally, along with the rest of your body, once gravity takes hold. It's a republican conspiracy?? Can you tell I hate them? There are actually websites (too lazy to look them up) that say bras are the cause of all breast diseases!

[liontamer]

48. different reasons

Some women wear bras for the look and shaping. Some just wear them because they grew up believing they had to. Others wear in hopes of preventing future sagging

[Ladyhawk]

49. Honey, I got me a big set and let me tell you, the support comes in handy.

:)

[Ellen Forradalom]

50. Comfort and clothing fit.

Comfort depends on size, naturally. The smaller you are, the less support is an issue. If you are quite buxom, back strain can be a real problem.

Clothing fit matters too. Dresses and shirts can drape better with a good-fitting bra.

Sports bras make exercise a great deal more comfortable. Boing-boing-boing isn't too much fun.

As a 34B I usually wear one, except around the house. I prefer quite plain ones. I could give a damn about pretty colors and styles.
