Since when did having curves somehow make me a porn star? This article from Harpers Bazaar gave me a serious double take. Combined with a recent case where a bra advert for television featuring a curvy model was pulled off-air because it was deemed too sexy I think the obsession with judging peoples bodies and shapes has just gone too far.
I’m a curvy chick. I can’t hide it, and despite the fact that certain people would have me believe it’s my duty to starve myself to emaciation, you know what, I just don’t buy it. I’m big. To try and be small is very unhealthy for me.
I really resent the implication that I’m therefore some sort of sex object just because I choose to have curves. As a woman with large breasts I have lived much of my life with the assumption that because I have them, I must therefore be available to any man who wants to slobber all over them. It’s annoying that mainstream media keeps perpetuating the same idea with thoughtless articles like this one that makes it seem ok to categorise women as sex objects based on the fact that they have curves.
Ok, rant over.

About Lisa
Oh, THANK YOU LISA!! It’s SO NICE to hear someone else feels this way! I’ve been at least a D cup since 8th grade. I even had a reduction at 19 because I was almost an F (and a size 10/12 at the time) but by 23 it was all mostly back where it started. Now I’m a size 14 (no matter how hard I try I never seem to get below a 12 without hurting myself) and a 38DD/40D. Sometimes I love my curves. Other times I feel like either a sex object or a “fat girl” and I can’t tell you (though I’m sure you understand) what an emotional roller coaster it is sometimes. Thank you so much for posting this. I feel better already.

Thank you Danielle. It’s so nice to hear someone agrees with me. It seems to be a weird thing that people are just not sure how to deal with women with large breasts. As if we’re somehow either amazining sexually talented (yeah right!) or, as you say, the fat girl.
I’m an F cup. Sometimes a double FF. It’s like a shameful little secret I have to whisper in case someone finds out. Ugh!

It’s nice to see you’re back to blogging! I’ve poked my head in here several times over the last year, and it’s a very nice and helpful site that I feel makes the world a little bit better. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge!
I completely agree with you Lisa! I’ve always had large breasts and people always seem to think that I am TRYING to be sexy because I have curves! I feel like people assume I want to be like a Playboy bunny or something just because my breasts are big.
I get frustrated when people say how disgusting large, fake breasts are, and that its better to be natural; as though you cant have large breasts naturally! Ugh, it makes me angry.
Hey Lydia
I know what you mean about the fake breasts. It frustrating that people believe because I have big breasts I paid for them. Oh, how I would love them to be smaller! But they’re not, I’m not and that’s all there is to it. Most days I accept it. Other days it’s harder.
