OK, I saw a post about privacy that made me think of this.. Let me start of by saying that I am pretty conservative and I was raised Methodist by two wonderful parents who adore each other. I'm the middle of three girls, I have never done anything to crazy. I was a ballerina and nfl cheerleader for a time and now I am a mom of 3 who still has very close girlfriends from dance days..ie..ballet, Jazz, hiphop (I always feel I need to clarify)... Anyway~ Now, on with the story and question...
My 26 yr old sister and I were talking about how when she recently met a friend of mine for dinner and drinks in the state where I am from.. (they are both newly single moms and I thought they should hang out) While out, they met up with a few more girls I knew, A few of the girls kept talking about how great my sister's boobs looked. She wasn't wearing anything gross or tacky, just a cute tank and jeans with a sweater over. So anyway they asked if they were real and my sister embarrassed, wondering why they were looking at her chest said yes, They said how great they looked and that they looked so good they could pass for implants. I think one of the girls that I didn't know asked if they were real or real expensive, being funny... I lot of my friends have had a breast augmentations, including me and we will talk pretty freely about our boobs. It isn't anything for one of us to ask questions, comment or even poke at one. We aren't hitting on each other. But, simply saying how great they look. It's almost like because they are implants we don't think they are private anymore. Either that or we are a walking ad for our surgeons and want to share our stories? Let me add that this is a close group of girls and I wouldn't talk this way at the park or anything... My sister had just met these girls and my sister found this very strange and said it was the first time she had ever gone out with a group of girls and her boobs were the topic.. So my question is this... Do you or do you know a friend that has had implants and they will just talk about them freely or let you feel one? Or maybe show you them? Because after my sister and I talked about this it made me think back before my augmentation (many yrs ago) and I would have never ever talked about my chest I would have been mortified if someone talked, stared or grabbed my boob.. (even a close friend it would have still freaked me out) Just wondering why I feel it's ok now?

My group of friends talks
My group of friends talks about it all the time. When someone else goes and gets her boobs done she happily shows them off to everyone (close) that wants to see. I have not had mine done yet, but I really need to. After nursing 2 kids I would really like to have a chest again.
I think it's a confidence thing. Right now I won't even let them be seen at the gym when I am changing into my bathing suit. I am embarassed by them because they are so small. I think that once I get them done I will be less shy because they will look "normal".
Out here everyone has them done and you can't tell whos are real and whos aren't. People that have an outgoing personality are not afraid to ask women if they have real boobs or not. I don't know where your sister is from, but maybe they are not as open to the topic as CA and AZ are.
I grew up thinking I was
I grew up thinking I was going to have nice big boobs....THANKS MOM....come to find out she had them done.
I never had mine done, nor do I want too. After, I breast feed I had a diffrent response.I had boobs!
I even had a few people ask me...just because in the past they had known my breast to be smaller....I just laugh.
Me and my friends talk about boobs...no biggie...
But I don't think I would ask someone I barely just meet.
