Can a woman of a certain age be hot?

Breast cancer screening

I vacillated a bit about whether I should post this message, but October being National Breast Cancer Awareness month tipped the scales in favor of posting. I hope all the men in my audience will not be upset with my using Lit this way.

Early detection of breast cancer is so important to our health, but there are still too many women who don't do the right things for whatever reason, including the fear of disfigurement. If my own experience can help change just one mind I'll feel that I've accomplished something truly worthwhile.

A few years ago my radiologist noticed a suspicious shadow on the x-ray of my left breast and recommended I have it biopsied. After talking to some g/f's and doing some research I contacted an oncologist who heads the breast cancer practice at our local uni med center.

The biopsy proved completely negative, but as a surgeon my oncologist turned out to be a bit of a butcher. His reputation was no longer warranted because age had undermined his skills and I've since switched to a younger female oncologist.

After I'd healed completely from the procedure I was initially appalled by the look of the scar he'd left behind. I worried about how my photographer would react, showing what I think was typical female anxiety in such situations.

He could not have been more understanding and reassuring. He helped ground me by reminding me that I'd done the right thing by having the procedure. It didn't take long for me to put my ill-founded cosmetic concerns behind me.

As time has passed the scar has become less prominent. In some photos it almost disappears completely. To illustrate, here is one photo from last year and two from this year.

One consequence of my earlier experience is that I now have semi-annual mammograms. My current radiologist says I'm one of her more challenging cases to interpret because my breast tissue is so dense. I think that that explains why I've always had the feeling that my breasts are much heavier than all the other women I know.

Having my breasts pulled and squished and squeezed between the plates is no fun, but it's something I willingly do and can't encourage other women enough to do the same. Early detection after age 50 saves lives. Damn the cosmetic effects of a biopsy or worse.

Rose,

Many thanks for this post. We recently experienced a similar series of events (fortunately just short of the need for a biopsy) and it is impossible to raise awareness "too" much. The health of a lover, a partner, a friend, a colleague or a neighbor affects the health of ALL of us and there is no substitute for love, support, encouragement and simply "being there."

I shall withhold comment on the aftermath of your surgery other than express thanksgiving that at least the visible scars are fading. May each day forward take you further from those times, except that your vigilance be ever aroused.

*hugs*

 

[Roseann4708]

rose, welcome back and no worries. i have seen first hand via your pics... the arousal, the wetness, the things that turn you on... very hot! love those words "carnal needs" they sound so primitive but also so sensual and erotic... the sunday pic... oh yes! evidence of you and what the photog does for and to you! well done! well done and love the thread! regards, heath

Our lineage split from our closest relatives among the great apes four to six million years ago. We trace our ancestry through a number of distinct species and our current one is roughly 200,000 years old. Recorded history goes back only 4,000 years or so and it was only a few thousand or more years before that we discovered agriculture and switched from the hunter/gatherer way of subsistence living.

At this point you may well be asking, what is she trying to say? I guess it's that in the grand scheme of evolution we're not very far removed at all from the "primitive." I think all too often we forget that history and how basic our sexual instinct and drives are. Like too many others, at least in my younger days, I allowed "civilization" to make me feel guilty about my sexuality and even ashamed of my body.

Pardon my venting and thanks for your comments, Heath.

Rose,

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful pictures. This is really an amazing thread.

To see how your (gorgeous) body has developed over the years. Very sexy at every age. Really love your curves.

Thanks and welcome to my thread. I hope you've become a subscriber and will return often.

Thank you for sharing your last 3 photos. It shows that the healing power of the body is not limited to people under 30 years.

Mmm, the closeup pic made me moan out loud. My cock is aching and I cant take my eyes off you Rose. I would love to have enjoyed you throughout the years, I know you have gotten more delicious and sensual with time. Thank you for sharing, my dear.

 

[OQueen]

Hi Rose--
We all carry scars, inside and out. I'm glad to see all of yours have healed up so beautifully.

My dear

After I'd decided on this title for my thread I realized that it could be misinterpreted by some. To be as clear as I can, I'm not referring to those occasions when I am experiencing my own personal summer. (Women over 45 will understand what I mean by that. LOL)


Some might disagree that I was hot when I was younger. Each according to his own taste, as the French put it. Here is a link to a scan of a Polaroid taken when I was 25, my very first nude. My initial scan was even poorer quality till my g/f used her considerable photo-editing skills to make it acceptable for sharing.

Based on these photos would you agree that I had a hot body when I was in my 20's and 30's? Honest opinions only, please. Thanks!

From time to time I may add other photos from my younger days in response to requests if, of course, there are any.


Rose

My dear, you are indeed a beauty. Soft, sexy and sensual.

Regarding your photo when you were 32--I must say you have the sexiest hips and thighs, and your natural bush. I'm on my knees in anticipation

 

[RunningJib]

66?

Am I the only woman who's noticed that some (all?) brands have been playing around with how they size their bras lately?

It had been a while since I'd bought any new bras so last month I went on a bit of a shopping spree at the local stores here in "fly-over" country. For years I'd been wearing nothing but 34D's and haven't noticed any recent changes to my breasts. Nor had my eagle-eyed and nimble-fingered photographer, but those are stories for another time. The last time there was any noticeable change was after I'd stopped nursing and deflated a bit, not that 34D is exactly small. LOL

Anyway, the fitting experts at both of our leading department stores told me I need a 34DDD in bras from Wacoal and Chantelle. I mean triple D. I still can't believe it. For friends from across the pond that's a 34E in the UK and a 90F in France in case you were wondering. We spent part of our time away in Manhattan and I managed to squeeze in a visit to the specialty store where I've shopped for bras off and on for four decades. Same answer for those two brands. Funny thing is all my new bras feel exceptionally comfortable, not loose fitting at all.

In thinking about this I was reminded about what has happened to dress sizing over the decades. My photographer's younger sister can still comfortably fit into the dress she was married in 37 years ago. It was a size eight. Now she wears a size zero, sometimes a two. It's pretty well accepted that the manufacturers have done this on purpose to try to make us feel better about ourselves, specially as our average size has been increasing so dramatically in recent years. I guess that's also why Spanx has done spectacularly well.

I'd love to know what the women who follow my thread think.

To mollify the men in my audience who constitute the majority of those who follow my thread, I've also included some recent photos of my breasts. One is a full size version of my current profile photo which I've shared before. The next is a slight variation on the former and the last is a pose I've never shared before. If any of the males in my audience want to weigh in on this issue or make any other comments for that matter, please feel free to do so.

Dear Rose,

Your body and especially your sexy self-confidence is outstanding. You thighs are just delicious and would love to run my tongue and mouth over every inch of you.

One question, why shave that wonder pussy? Oh, love to run my fingers and tongue though it . . . you my dear are Helen of Troy

Thanks so much for posting this. Your message is such an important one for both for women AND men. I've had men and women in my life who sadly didn't give enough attention to early detection. Happily I know so many others, now like you, who have had positive outcomes. I know LIT doesn't like links to other sites but by visiting this one folks can help fund mammograms for women in need with free daily clicks of their mouse...at the breast cancer site

I'm here from another thread I found you on...and I think you're simplly a beautiful woman and person based on my visit there and especially here.

Thanks for all your posts and your sharing...in every way

You've given me one more reason to visit LIT more often

great posts and the breast cancer awareness, well said and a great story. as for primal and carnal, be yourself. i think you have found that. it comes to a point in your life that you got to say, who gives shit what others think of me. i am there and don't give shit about what others think. great thread, hot bod, love the commentary and pics... keep it going rose. heath

 

[oh55guy]

What a lovely woman at any age!!

 

[ndbf4ever]

And all the time as well? Thanks, Len.

Rose

Indeed! 's

 

[ndbf4ever]

Oops! Technical glitch.

That's ok...just do as I suggested and bask in the glow of your lit fam, Rose.

 

[ndbf4ever]

Pacing is more important than ever for me, Len. I promise not to tire you out or exacerbate your health issues.

I got super crazy busy with other things after posting on Sunday and stayed that way till now which is why it took a while to get back to you, Len. Hope your Sunday and the week so far has been less hectic than mine.

Rose

We'll go at any pace that make you orgasm repeatedly! I'd risk it to be that lucky!

I understand...my week has been a bit hectic too. But, catching up with you here makes it worth while, Rose.

 

[ndbf4ever]

While it is noticeable, I didn't think it was gigantic or too embarrassing. Just right to illustrate my point I thought. Thanks.

Rose

It was just right Rose. Incredibly sexy that showing your body turns you on as much as it does us! 's

Very well said, Rose!
Bravo! Your honesty is one of many things that I admire about you.
That faint scarring is part of you and will never detract from your beauty.
In fact, it enhances it that you have the confidence to show the world proudly and tell us about it with passion.
Thank you!

 

[beenfar2long]

I'm so pleased that you chose to share the breast biopsy story and photos. As a husband and father, I implore women to practice self-exammination, have an annual mammogram and if something seems to have changed, get thee to the doctor. And please, don't listen to those who say the mammogram is not needed until later in life. I can't speak for your photographer, but I hardly noticed my wife's scars from day one. To me, she was always the beauty I fell in love with nearly 40 years before.

 

[kdb]

Thanks, kdb. When I'm turned on as much as I was in this photo I do look quite inviting, a sentiment seconded by my photographer. We are rather a snug fit, due probably in equal measures to his girth and my tightness.

Rose[/QUOTE
Sounds amazing Rose

 

[MrsCCfromRC]

Hi Rose

So glad the test results were negative and screw the scar! Your breasts are simply lovely.

 

[ichews2]

Rose

Whey they say love is blind, they (who are they, anyway) aren't kidding Rose. There is a lot of anxiety whenever there is a hint of the C word, and I'm sure the scar gave you anguish, but speaking as a guy, I'm blind to things of a cosmetic nature when it comes to the woman I love. Totally binded by appreciation and affection of all the more important things in her personality and character. Fact is, I have an image of her in my mind that is probably long out of date, and it sometimes comes as a shock to suddenly realize she isn't the young thing I first fell in love with. Love does funny things like that.

Have to think the photographer is still crazy in love with you, too, Rose. I mean, what's not to love. A gorgeous, clever woman who is hungry for play and a willing photo model. Yup! He doesn't care about a small scar. And I doubt any of your fans do either. Not me, anyway.

 

[DAN JAMES]

Hot no matter what!!!!!

Just catching up with your latest few day on the thread...Very happy to hear of your final results of your earlier scare with breast cancer...The scar never crossed my mind while while admiring your breasts,as well as other obvious assets,in fact I never noticed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love your honesty and positive attitude...Keep on working on this fabulous thread

 

[Roseann4708]

A big thank you to all and some new photos

As is not unusual, I don't have the time I need for Lit. It's specially hectic today as I'm dealing with some pressing issues for clients and also have to get ready for another trip early tomorrow.

Before I leave I want to express my deepest and most heart-felt thanks to all of you collectively for reacting so favorably to my last post about breast cancer screening. If only everyone else could be so understanding and supportive it would make a huge difference in advancing the treatment of this disease. I promise that upon my return I'll reply separately to each of you.

Over the months I've received some very flattering comments about my AV photo, both posted here on my thread and in PM's. So while I'm gone I thought I'd leave behind some additional photos from the same photo session. I hope you'll enjoy them.
