http://www.slate.com/id/2193827/ "It turns out that the physics of breast motion have been studied closely for the last two decades by a gamut of researchers, most of them women. LaJean Lawson, a former professor of exercise science at Oregon State University, has studied breast motion since 1985 and now works as a consultant for companies like Nike to develop better sports bra designs. Lawson explained that breasts move on three different axes: from side to side, front to back, and up and down. The most motion is generated on the vertical axis. Naturally, the bigger the breast, the more momentum it generates. "Let's face it--if you're a double-A marathoner, you're probably not going to get that iPod up and running," Lawson said. Measurements compiled by Lawson and her colleagues show that a D-cup in a low-support bra can travel as much as 35 inches up and down (35 inches!) during exercise, while a B-cup in a high-support bra barely moves an inch." As a woman, I don't know if this is a good or bad thing... All I know is is that I have a new way to power my iPod! But still, I shouldn't be supporting this at all... And I hate how the article says that "most" of the researchers are women. How could a man get hired to become a breast scientist?

... What about the gynaecologists? Aren't they hired to do something "deeper" than that?

How could a man get hired to become a breast scientist? There are plenty of male gynaecologists (and presumably male "breast scientists"). Not every man is reduced to a quivering lump of derp at the sight of a breast. Amazingly, some people are able to seperate their career and their sexuality. We call this "professionalism."

Hey, I love breasts as much as any man.
But as SS said, I don't get turned to mush around them. For one, it's not like I haven't seen enough of them in my life. For two, as people get older, the alure of seeing every boob on Earth doesn't necessarily disappear - I can see Hinata's anytime I want and I still at least notice a nice set - it does dissipate. The truth of the matter is that breasts are there for a reason, and that's not just giving young their milk; they ARE an erogenous zone, they are minor sexual organs, and they are naturally arousing for men, for the purpose of sexual intercourse... which is also natural.
I like vagina, but you would never see me become a gynecologist, because women that go to see theirs aren't there for social hour (I can't picture one woman in my life who gets turned on by having their legs spread apart in stirrups and getting proded by cold steel), they're there because they have a problem. And those problems personally disgust me.
Sakura, I don't give two shits about you and your feminism - there's nothing more annoying than a loud feminist because they're usually talking out their asses - but you'll understand this as you get older, because right now, you're around teenage boys, which really are very immature. If someone your age would have shown me their breasts when I was in high school, I'd have likely acted like a fool (and I was mature for my age growing up). If they showed them to me now, at 28, I don't care how nice they are, I'm going to be repulsed and tell them to put the damn things away, because I'm too old for that shit.
EDIT: I've had female doctors give me the "cough" test, and when I fell off the USS George Washington in 2000 and had to go to the Naval Hospital in Naples, Italy, they had to strip my wet clothes off and throw me onto an observational table buck naked in a room surrounded by corpspeople and doctors, most of whom were female, some of whom were close to my age. Not ONE time in any of these situations did I think about or care about being naked around women, or the fact that a woman was seeing me naked, or the fact that one was feeling my balls; not one sexual thought crossed my mind, because truth be told, it's just anatomy.

Oh please, you can't take offense to that any more than I can (And fuck, I'M going to be out of the hole "teenage" thing in 2 and a half years- You've got at least 4 to go). It's the fact that we're mostly dominated by our penises (Or we joke about it so much that it becomes more or less fact anyway).

Oh please, you can't take offense to that any more than I can itt we don't know a joke when we see one (And fuck, I'M going to be out of the hole "teenage" thing in 1 and a half years- You've got at least 3 to go). Okay? It's the fact that we're mostly dominated by our penises (Or we joke about it so much that it becomes more or less fact anyway).
Stereotype/10. "Because a lot of guys do this, all guys do this". I've been hit on by girls I think are pretty hot and still did nothing. One even asked me out, but I turned her down because, as a person, I didn't like her. There's no level of rare cases here; the fact of the matter is that, yes, a lot of teenagers get horny here and there, but to chalk it down to 'all guys think about is what their dicks want' is about as stupid as Sakura's post.

Judas, it's over simplifying for a reason. The guys that REALLY think like that 24/7 don't have the skills to interact at all, but TRUST ME on this, things are a whole lot different when you're 14/15 than when you're older. And when you think back, you will probably draw the same conclusions as I did, or "Holy shit, did I REALLY think like that?" And yes, you're going to deny this now, but it's the truth.

OK, Simplified version: You don't think you think that way now, but looking back, it will seem like your thoughts were mostly "lol, boobs" when you're older (And not much older- just when the whole idea of your penis being your guide isn't completely true (Which is around my age, but not totally)). And even if it's not true (Wow, you've turned down a hot chick cause she's a bitch- so have I), most of your jokes ARE along that line, which will also make you realize how you'll have changed.

Matrix FTW. (And not much older- just when the whole idea of your penis being your guide isn't completely true (Which is around my age, but not totally)). GEE THIS PEDISTOOL I PUT MYSELF ON IS PRETTY FUN GUIZ :DDD And even if it's not true (Wow, you've turned down a hot chick cause she's a bitch- so have I), omfg ur ruinin my JUDAS IS SPECIAL hour fuckn communisthrdhgkahd But anyway, thank you for proving my point. most of your jokes ARE along that line, Humor is irrelevent to any actual consideration. which will also make you realize how you'll have changed.
The "I'm Older, Therefore Right" card is the bane of logical discussion these days.

As a woman, I don't know if this is a good or bad thing... All I know is isthat I have a new way to power my iPod! But still, I shouldn't be supporting this at all...
I don't ... get it? What is offensive or in any way repugnant about this idea to you? You say you shouldn't support it, like it's some sort of a sexist thing that woman have breasts. Is this theoretical device any more insensitive than inventing a pedometer in a world where paraplegic people exist? I realize this isn't SD, so I guess I'll stop there, but I'm just puzzled by your attitude. Personally I don't think it sounds like a very workable idea. In the article Dr. Wang said the nanowire technology only works when the fabric is dry and isn't agitated too greatly. Now, aren't those the exact conditions it has to go through to generate power? For, let's say a person going for a jog with their iPod, there's certainly going to be a great deal of agitation, necessary for the friction for electricity, but also disruptive to the wire's alignment. At the same time, that runner is sure to be sweating, even if just a little bit. Although the whole removable sleeve idea is cute for being able to wash the outer layer while leaving the device untouched, when you're wearing the thing it's certain to get damp over time. It's not like it's that inconvenient anyway to charge your iPod at home or anything, unless you're the type that likes to convulse while you're at work. And I hate how the article says that "most" of the researchers are women. How could a man get hired to become a breast scientist?
You know, I get the same way when I read about those women, of all people, trying to pass themselves off as actual doctors. HARUMPF! Good for a chortle or two I dare say.

Mm? No, I don't think this is going to be the case as well. You know what everyone - anyone normal, anyway - is going to look back on, in terms of boobs? The people attached to them. Example: I don't remember my high school "sweetheart's" breasts much, or her ass, but I do remember that it took me a good seven years to get down her pants, and how much of a selfish, needy bitch she was. I DO remember that she was a scraper, though.  Another one: my last local girlfriend before Hinata was good in bed, but my memories of her revolve a lot less around her girl parts than they do the sweet pillow talk we would have afterwards. And finally, when I think of my girlfriend, while she IS exceptionally hot and I have to pinch myself almost daily to make sure I'm actually sleeping with such a beautiful and intelligent woman and I'm not dreaming, I think mostly about the cuddle time afterwards, and the times we'd go from rocking the walls... to playing Suikoden in the nude. In short, "playing Suikoden in the nude" is more memorable than her actual boobs, just because of how strange and awesome it is. And even as I look back at these times - the old ones mostly, I can make new ones with my girlfriend at will - it's more or less for the stories and the memories; "lol, we fucked" or "lol, nice boobs" are an afterthought.
