Silicone Breast Implants...they'll be back

Mentor Wins FDA Panel Backing for Silicone Breast Implants

April 13 (Bloomberg) -- A government panel recommended that U.S. regulators approve Mentor Corp.'s silicone breast implants for sale, after the group yesterday voted to reject Inamed Corp.'s similar device.

The advisory panel of doctors and scientists voted 7-2 to recommend that the Food and Drug Administration clear the Mentor product. Yesterday, the group voted 5-4 to tell the agency that Inamed's application shouldn't be approved because of safety doubts.

I know the saline implants have been widely available for years, so this would merely give women the option to go for the silicone instead, but I couldn't help shuddering when I read it.

I'm guessing lots of women must love their implants, but I just can't help wishing fake tits weren't so popular. The idea of slicing into a healthy woman's breasts just to make them conform to some aesthetic ideal sounds so unappealing and needlessly risky. We still don't know the long term effects, nor do we know exactly what happens if the silicone implant ruptures. As I understand it, implants make it much harder to read a mammogram too.

I just don't understand why it's so appealing.

On Topic: Women say that the silicone implants are more natural looking and feeling.

Off Topic: Do Breast Implants make a person a better writer? A more intuitive reader? Those are the only reason I can see for this thread being in the Authors Hangout.

Women get breast implants for the same reason guys try to get bigger penises, ego.

According to current mythology, women with big breasts, and men with big pricks are better people that those who are without. Like all mythologies, it's a lie, but it's also easier than actual self improvement.

Actually being a better person is so much fucking work.

MS,

There have been many threads here which have had absolutely nothing to do with writing. One of the reasons this board is so much fun, and so informative.

Literature at its heart in most cases is an attempt to understand and depict the human condition. Thus many things can be tied to writing that aren't explicitly about writing. Considering we are erotica authors, I suspect that this would be more on topic than most because the conformation to strict guidelines of beauty and debasing oneself to be more pretty and "loved" (code for sexed up in empty one-night stands) are often common themes.

In other words, we call it research so that no one figures out that we're just curious, nosy, random layabouts.

Conceivably everything can be tied to writing if you bullshit hard enough.

My next story is going to be about a neglected housewife who's husband has a big breast fetish. She thinks if she gets some implants, he might start paying attention to her again so she doesn't have to fuck the Avon lady anymore. She surprises him with the new boobs when he comes back from an extended business trip only to find out he's been fucking his well-hung boss, and then they all get it on. The Avon lady is welcomed with open arms when she drops by with her daughter and her bondage gear.

Ok, no, it's not, but it could be.

You are so good.

Writing is about life. Any aspect of life a writer chooses. Ideas are born in the strangest places. Why the implication that information isn't valid if it doesn't relate to sentence structure or "getting published" or something of that nature?

Exactly. It's one of the attractions.

Aren't all stories about that?

I know all of the Shakespeare plays are at least.

Luc, after reading your reason for editing, I really wanna know what happened to your pants.

One of our local light industries has diversified into bondage and fetish furniture. They used to do custom furniture, fitted shelving, desks - all in solid wood. At a trade fair they were discreetly asked if they could make a bondage table with ironwork, chains, straps etc. They did - at a cost and found the profit margin was higher than their standard products.

So now they have a division that does nothing but fetish furniture. A local paper sent their young cub reporter to find out about their products. He was slapped in the stocks, lashed to a table, squeezed into an iron maiden etc. The newspaper's photographer had difficulty keeping his camera still as the poor reporter was shown exactly how everything worked by the workmen who made them.

The reporter had to select his words and the photo to illustrate his article very carefully to avoid offending the family readership. I think he is hoping that the photographer deleted the other photos. What do you think?

I think that cub reporter will find those photos follow him for his whole career.

Sexy furniture? Whatever next?

It's not THAT much of a stretch. Hell, just writing about a character deciding on implants ...

It's ALL research, baby.

I knew a girl who dated a medical supllies salesman, and he gave her a sample silicone implant. She used to have it lying on her coffee table.

It was amazing how many men would be drawn to it. They'd pick it up and start playing with it and talking how demeaning and tragic it was that women would resort to implants, and then their eyes would just kind of glaze over and they'd get that pissing-in-the-pool look on their face. Me included. I couldn't keep my hands off it.

Don't kid yourself. There's something about that specific weight and texture in a man's hand that trips some very primal circuits. Sure it's shallow and superficial, but if I could spend 2 or 3 grand and have women look at me like that, I'd probably do it too.

I've never felt any breast implant tits. I know they bounce different. How different do they feel? Anyone?

Great idea! What is needed here is a full, scientific study. Motion analysis cameras! Touch tests! Taste tests! Can the difference be felt in a titty fuck? There are many aspects to be investigated.

Got to go now. I have a government grant application to fill out!

I've always wondered what a woman who has implants think when someone acts like they like her, or says they love her, or asks her to marry.

Does she always wonder?

Softouch

If you want to follow that line of reasoning, if a woman has someone tell her they like her or love her, or asks her to marry NOW, wouldn't she wonder if they'll still want her a few years down the road when her physical beauty fades.

My point being is that if the physical appearance (whether natural or synthetic) is the only thing in a serious relationship, boy are you in for trouble.

They feel the same, except when you squeeze them, they squeak like a dog's toy.

I have a pair of throw pillows like that. No one can keep their hands off them. When my friends come by, they can't help themselves from picking them up and playing with them - even my cat sits there mesmerized, poking and prodding with her little paw, sometimes jumping onto them and sometimes biting.

It took one of my gay guy friends to realize why they fascinated everyone: "They feel like boobs," he said.

Behold! The power of the breast!
