Mid size breasts??

[lovecraft68]

So I'm stuck on something and its something stupid.

I have a female character I am describing and she has....Mid size breasts.

It hit me writing this that many of my females have smaller breasts(maybe because it tends to be my preference) or they are more on the ample side.

This woman in my mind is in between. I don;t use statistics in my stories, but I suppose if I did I would think maybe a full B? she is slender so although a B is not large they would appear more so on her.

But anyway the dilemma is I'm stuck describing them. I literally used "her breasts weren't large, but weren't exactly small either" as a placeholder so I can move the story along and not sit and stew on this.

I figured I would ask for some help here.

FWIW, I don't think getting too specific about breast or cup size is needed in a story that has a plot. Just saying...

I think as long as you compare them to others with "full size" breasts, "compact breasts", and maybe even "convertible breasts" or "sport utility breasts", you're making a fair comparison.

Sorry. That wasn't helpful, was it.

Three things come to mind.
(1) Quick and easy way is simply to use "figure" words depending on how her clothes hug her. Small breasts and she's a boyish figure, large breasts and you get busty or top-heavy. Mid-sized and you might get hourglass. That the buttons of her blouse pull a little but aren't trying to fly apart would tell the readers she's mid-size.

(2) Longer and more intimate description: What does the person looking at those breasts want to do with them? I mean, are they large enough that they invite him to pillow is head on them (both, because one wouldn't be large enough, but together they'd be nice and inviting?). Does he want to nuzzle underneath and lick (large enough that there is an underneath, but not so large that he'd have to push them out of the way with his hands to get under).

If he describes what those breasts invite him to do, the reader will get the idea of how large they are.

(3) Of course, you could always use the time honored comparison to fruit Are they large oranges or small cantaloupes?

Not really, unless I go shopping for a SUB sometime soon

 

[lovecraft68]

If it helps, I use comparisons to common objects, such as, "her breasts were just slightly bigger than the sweetest, juiciest oranges he/she/it had ever tasted, yada, yada..."

Everyone has a pretty good idea how big a typical orange is, which is fairly close to a B-cup.

That could work as I mentioned I see her as a b-cup.

I know build has a lot to do with it as well if a large curvy woman had B-cups they would be small, but a slender woman with them they would appear "proportionate"

That was a word I thought of using but only briefly.

We had a rental car this week. I hear "mid size" I fill in "sedan".

SUB. I like what ya did there!

"...as if the were meant for his hands..."

..or some shit like that.

Built for comfort? Perfect for her frame?

Good to know that wasn't wasted.

Are they nice breasts? Is another character in the story admiring them? What type of narrative does the story use?

 

[horrorotica]

Just describe the size using reference's that is consistent with the character who's doing the describing' social and educational level. Truth is most guys don't see a women they like and think or say, "That's a lovely pair of 36DD's" So put yourself in your characters shoes and describe them the way they'd see it.

Its erotica, of course they're nice! Not too many saggy, pendulous breasts in the stories here

She is being checked out and describing herself as she watches the guy give her a long up and down.

I like to use phrases like "perfectly proportionate" or "a perfect handful" for medium size breasts. I figure as long as I don't use the words tiny, perky, big or colossal the reader assumes they are medium size breasts...

You're the second to mention Handful and my wife had also mentioned something along those lines(after pointing out that most of my women have smaller breasts and she is more than ample and asking if she should go get a reduction) so I think I'm going to give that a try.

This will probably be useless, but why describe your character's appearance in much detail at all? Let the reader create the character. One of the things I find annoying is detailed descriptions. Throw in her background, what does she do to keep her looks, run, swim, pilates, idk, but females with big boobs need serious support to run, put that in, or something like her boyfriend/girlfriend like to see them bounce. IMO B's are perfect, btw. I read most porn stars have Bs. It was on the internet, I think Forbes, so you know it's true.

FWIW, in her "...In Death" series, Nora Roberts' main character is a tall woman with a lean build and small/medium breasts. I'm trying to remember how she describes it, and can't recall a specific one, but what I do recall is that she's pretty direct about it -- "small, firm breasts" has been used more than once, I think. So maybe you shouldn't think too hard about it, just go with it.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I don't know if I would bother describing them at all to be perfectly honest. The way I figure it big ones and small ones need descriptors. Average (especially if you don't want to stick with the earlier mentioned descriptions of hour glass or meant for hands *I has big hands*) don't actually need to be described. I'd stick with things like perky and firm and other things that denote youthfulness and yumminess but other than that leave it to your reader.

Kinda like height or dick length. Unless otherwise specified medium/normal aught be expected and if your reader thinks eight foot tall men with three inch penises are normal all the more power to them I suppose.

 

[Handley_Page]

I think "a nice handful" is adequate.

That makes 3...
Comes with a catch, asin:: What size are the hands of the person stating that it's a nice handful?

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Breasts, yes she had some. Not to small, not to big, in my mind just right.

3113's methods would be what I would go with I think. To not directly point out the size with this one description we're trying to figure out, but demonstrate the size in the very context of the story. How they make her shirt look, how they fill or feel when he touches her (even from her POV) if they bounce slightly, if there's cleavage, if she gets a lot of stares (those are bigger usually and the eyes go right to them) and all that. These kinds of context clues actually summon a general image in a readers head without coming out and saying "her tits were huge" or "flat chested" or "mid size".

I'm trying to think as a reader if I came across a woman's description. For some reason, if I read the word "breasts" and only that word, without any reference to their size or any clues at all, just breasts... then I find myself picturing the exact size you're trying to describe. Mid size. That's me, so that may not help you with how others would perceive that, but there it is.

I hate fruit comparisons personally. I think its because right when I read them, while they do effectively convey they size, I always picture an actual orange or melon attached to a woman's chest. Heh, juicy breasts.

Ha! You obviously haven't read any of my stories.

 

[HeyAll]

I also used the term "average size" or "mid size breasts" sometimes to describe female characters.

My philosophy is, give a general description and the readers will imagine it how they want. If the woman is older, I'll mention that her breasts sag a little. If she's young, I'll say they're firm or whatever.

I also mention what her nipples look like.

Other than, I don't worry about too many details about breasts. People like what they like.
