This Has Gone On Long Enough

That poll has just been sitting there for a long long time.  It should have been a pretty simple poll, but something doesn't add up.  But I've thought about it long enough.

There were two parts:

Breasts: I want them

I've had/want implants	7 (6%)
I'd consider implants	16 (14%)
I'm on/I'd consider hormones	31 (27%)
I'm taking/I'd consider herbals	10 (9%)
I've tried/I'd try hypnosis	2 (1%)
Padding is just fine, thank you	37 (33%)
It's all me, all natural	8 (7%)

About a third of you are perfectly happy with padding.  I am too, I think.  The most important thing is they can be put away if necessary.  Growing my own ~ well, not so much.  I think I have to be further on the "I don't care" path for that.  That's not to say I'd never be there.

I think I've taken a big step down that path, at least internally.  At least when talking about who I am and what I do.

But maybe not.  I decided if anyone asks me if any item I'm wearing is women's clothing, I'll say yes and say that I enjoy women's clothes.  A caveat: it does depend on the audience.  If it's the guys from the weekly poker game, probably not.  If it's at our weekly meeting with the customer, no.  If it's a couple of co-workers, yes.  If it's one or more friends of mine (not friends of my wife) then yes.


A few months ago, I would have sidestepped that question.  It has, however, never come up, even when I'm joking about a woman wearing men's clothing, or talking about how women can wear anything but men are limited.  And at the same time, I'm wearing a women's shirt or slacks or flowery socks.

Another seven percent are sufficiently endowed to not need or want any artificial enhancement.  I envy you.

But that leaves an amazing 60% who'd like breasts full-time!  I really find that surprising.  I may, at some time, revisit this and break the I may/I have questions into an either-or situation.  I mean, I'd consider hormones, but probably reject the idea.  That's a lot different from someone who's on them now.  It's like the difference between involved and committed: in a ham and eggs breakfast, the chicken is involved; the pig is committed.

Six percent had or want implants.  A couple of you would consider hypnosis ~ it might work, and there are actually programs you can buy or download to give it a try.

And almost 40% of you would take or are on hormones or herbals.

For me, it's a hard question.  Hormones will work, but there are side effects.  Herbals *may* work, but there are the same side effects.  There are so many estrogen impersonators out there and so much anecdotal evidence of their feminising capabilities that I won't say they're a fraud.  I think it depends on the particular woman.

Implants work, but I've heard that they're not really permanent.  They'll certainly give you breasts, but if you're interested in adding to your hips and butt, well, no.

But hormones are not "breast pills."  They're "girl pills" and there are psychological changes as well as physical ones.

If someone passed sentence and said "you can stop dressing forever, or ramp it up a notch with implants or hormones..."  I'm not sure which I'd do.  I'm really not sure. 

But I do know "stop dressing" is off the table.  And maybe that's another poll someday.

Yes, It's All for the Breast

OK, where was I?  Oh yeah.

Before I go on, I do want to say that I have silicon forms (I've written about them before) and I can attach them, but I never have.  Maybe on my next trip to Arizona....

I started with water balloons. I've tried polyfill in cut-up stockings.  Silicon is pricey, but I think they're worth it.

But yes, I'd love to have breasts and surgery is the best way to get them, but....

Yes, there are non-surgical options.  Herbals and hormones, for example.  Some say you can have success with hypnosis.  Others claim pumping alone will work.  I've done a little checking.

Herbals are mostly useless.  I say mostly, because some people have had good success.  I think it's very individual.  And I think being younger helps.  I've heard of young men using soaps with estrogen impersonators and having reactions (including growing breasts).  I think having human growth hormones in great quantities helps. There are a lot of plants that mimic estrogen: tea tree oil, lavender, fenugreek, even soy if you have A Lot.

Hormones work.  There are a lot of varieties, but there is no "breast pills."  They're all "girl pills."  Look up the side effects.  And they all put a strain on the liver, which should be monitored while taking the pills.  They're also prescription, but there are off-shore druggists who aren't fussy about that.

I haven't heard of any hypnosis success stories, except from the people who sell hypnosis programs like this.

I've heard anecdotal evidence of using a breast pump to enlarge the breasts but it requires hours (!) of pumping each day.

So today I have two polls.  Please answer both.  For poll 1, I considered allowing multiple answers, but just choose the one you consider most radical.  Any comments or e-mail explanations are welcome.  Remember: if you want to be anonymous and private just put PRIVATE in your comment and I won't publish it.  But then, we can't have a dialogue either.
