Breast Implants

Real Tits vs Fake Tits

Since the early '80s, most female porn performers have had breast implants though many of the hottest performers of the '90s stayed natural for years - Brittany O'Connell, Nicole London, Alex Jordan, Debi Diamond, Deidre Holland and Kelly O'Dell. Brittany, Nicole, and Kelly eventually left the Natural Bosom Alliance.

"We're a competitive nation of rejects and criminals," says American pornographer Dian Hanson, publisher of Leg Show and similar magazines. "Aggressive people who left their homelands either because they had the drive or they had to get out fast. We figure out what sells best. We're capitalistic and we sell a product. And when women are the product, women perfect themselves. Blonde hair sells best. Lots of blonde hair sells better. Little noses sell, big lips sell, big breasts sell. Tight high buttocks… Women have figured it out and nobody wants to be left behind."

"A backlash is brewing against man-made women in the plastic-surgery capital of the country," writes the 12-16-97 US NEWS. "At least Norm Zadeh, a Beverly Hills soft-porn publisher, is hoping to create one. Zadeh is behind Perfect 10, a glossy new adult men's magazine that refuses to use models who have had breast implants or other obvious plastic surgery. "The natural female body is beautiful and women shouldn't feel like they have to go under the knife," he says. All models must pass a scar check before they are accepted.

"Zadeh, who has sunk $2.8 million of his own money so far into Perfect 10, says he launched the magazine last fall after a friend was rejected by Playboy because she was underrepresented above the waist. That, and he thinks there's room in the Playboy/Penthouse market for a "classy" men's magazine that doesn't rely on heavily augmented Jenny McCarthy clones who spread their legs. Perfect 10, which features relatively tasteful topless photographs and meaningful interviews on subjects like the downfall of communism and the turn-off of dandruff, has yet to attract a single advertiser. (Zadeh's high moral standards preclude him from accepting liquor or tobacco ads. He's thinking more along the lines of Mercedes-Benz.) National distributors refuse to carry the $6.95 magazine because "they think the average American male likes something a bit more perverse," say Zadeh."

HEVG's Seth Roberts hates it when his mother decides to pop in five minutes before the hooker he's ordered is scheduled to arrive. Seth hate surprises. "And when I gawk at a pair of tits, them suckers better be tits, because if I want to see funny balloons, I'll tune in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."

Seth says fake tits feel like freshly melted plastic. "In its heyday, porn offered a potpourri of differently shaped and sized girls... Each performer had her own unique personality. The variety is gone. Some of adult cinema's hottest girls - Lacy Rose, Tami Monroe, Madison and Savannah - have spoiled their natural splendor with hooters shaped like nuclear reactors that move with all the grace of William "The Refrigerator" Perry performing Swan Lake."

Fake tits age girls faster than a coke habit, says Seth, but worst of all, the silicone seems to creep into their heads and make them believe that they no longer have to f--- with enthusiasm.

Being a spiritual man, Seth prays that fake tits are just a phase. But if it continues, a decade from now, when women are "surgically enhancing their labia to look like Grandma's holiday roast or having a set of boobs installed on their backs to please viewers coming and going, we can look back at this time in X's history and see where the innocence was lost."

HEVG editor Michael Louis Albo disagrees. "I'm tired of seeing some porn ginch with a f---ed-out pussy spread her creamy thighs, forcing me to see lips that look like a melted Michelin recap. If only some gifted plastic surgeon could...[make] all pussies...as fresh and dewy as a virginal sixteen year-old's..."

Mike's watched the silicone revolution develop and he laughs at its critics because only a few years ago, "silicone sisters like Blondi and Savannah were hailed as the saviors of a dying genre."

Mike prefers looking at feminine perfection. If he wanted to see flattened, stretched-out breasts, he'd watch National Geographic Explorer. "If I wanted reality, I wouldn't watch porn," says Mike. "The perfect porn girl will have pumped tits, a liposuctioned butt, collagen-injected lips, acrylic nails and perfect hair. A girl can only improve so much at the gym. To reach slut perfection, she has to visit her friendly neighborhood cosmetic surgeon."

As to the complaint that augmented breasts don't feel like natural ones, who cares? Mike points out that if you're watching a video, the only thing that you're likely to be feeling is your own dick. And if you're lucky enough to have sex with a porn star, you're not going to be complaining.

Scott Mallory notes that the reality behind fake tits is an economic one. Bigger breasted strippers make more money.

This simpleminded approach to the business of the business, says Scott, leads the greedy women of porn to believe that they must get breast implants to compete. Also, "porn queens... rank in the top percentile of insecure people, and if someone tells them they need bit tits, they head for the boob barn...

"If Michael Louis Albo had his way, says Scott, "all porn queens would be walking, talking, cum-eating Barbie Dolls, more plastic than flesh. It's a anti-human, hateful statement and reveals...[much about Albo's] attitudes towards women..."

Scott's hatred of breast jobs reveals a typical intellectual contempt for the preferences of the average guy. Your average Joe prefers bigger breasts to smaller ones.

Women get boob jobs because they want to be more attractive to the opposite sex, just as men work hard to be successful so that they can be more attractive to the opposite sex.

Why don't men get penis extensions as commonly as women get breast jobs? Because women are not as attracted to men by penis size as men are attracted to women by breast size. For one thing, breasts usually show under clothing while penises rarely do.

Seth, Mike and Scott all miss the point, in my opinion, by being too general. Breast implants make some women look better and some women look worse. Some breast jobs are done well and other badly.

Bigger breasts generally mean more income for a performer. That means that most men receive more pleasure looking at enhanced breasts than at real ones. Money paid out objectively demonstrates what we value.

Male desire for curvaceous women seems biologically programmed. Most men in most cultures prefer women with a curvy hip to waist ratio, smaller noses and bigger eyes - evolutionary signals of a woman's fertility. That beauty is in the eye of the beholder is a Politically Correct lie. There are universal standards of feminine beauty that attract men.

Some women feel better about themselves after plastic surgery such as breast implants or breast reductions, lipo-suction, etc. If it works to improve a woman's self-esteem and her popularity with men, why frown on it? Dennis Prager says part of the answer lies with the discomfort of most feminists with male sexuality which is visual and object-driven. Many feminists want to deny this painful truth. Hence they deride women who change themselves to become more attractive to men.

Prager prefers natural breasts to enhanced ones and says that every man he has talked to on the subject feels the same way.

Performer Asia Carrera loves her implants. "Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel," she wrote on the newsgroup RAME, "and the bag itself is made of a resilient silicone jelly-like substance. Nothing but squishy stuff. As long as the girl doesn't build up scar tissue around the implants, her boobs will be soft and warm to the touch. It's only when a girl goes too big, that the boobs get that odd, shiny, two-circles-glued-to-the-chest effect that most men identify with boob jobs. The best jobs are the ones you don't notice."

"Every implant causes scar tissue," replied a RAME poster. "It's part of the process. It's a matter of how much scar tissue builds up (along with other variables). And it's not only when 'a girl goes too big' that the two circles glued to the chest effect occurs. Yours (as are many others) are two easily traceable circles (your left breast in particular has that appearance and absence of anything remotely resembling a natural "hang" or slope. The right one...better, but still obviously not natural). It's easy to tell. That and the incision marks under each areola... the ones that "will fade in six months" that are still there (substitute the scars underneath for that installation process). The best jobs are the ones that don't happen."

George Shaffer offers these tips for detecting breast implants.

"Scars: Symmetrical scars under or around the areola, near the crease where the breast joins the chest, or under the arm pits are conclusive evidence that some cosmetic surgery was performed. Scars may be very difficult to spot. For example, Kiss's scars near the crease are visible only when she is on her back, shot from below and the lighting is just right.

"General size and shape: Natural breasts (at least post adolescent) tend to be relative flat on the inner and upper surfaces. Enhanced breasts often show substantial bulging (convex) inner and upper surfaces. This is a matter of degree so not conclusive by itself. As breasts get larger, the bulging inner and upper surfaces become a clear sign of augmentation. At the extreme, the enhancement is obvious while the woman is still fully clothed.

"Mobility: Augmented breasts *do* move though they tend to move less than natural breasts and the way that the move is different. Natural breasts, when the woman is on her back and getting f---ed vigorously exhibit a wavelike motion of fluid encased by a highly pliable but relatively non stretching membrane (think of a wave tank). The bulk of the tissue is moving up, reaches the limit of travel/stretch of the skin and bounces back. The wave is clearly visible on the top. Where the breast meets the chest, both above and below, the demarcation between breast and other tissue is less sharp than with enhancements. As the bulk of the tissue moves up the portion of the breast next to the chest swells - the entire shape of the breast changes. You see similar change at the bottom limit of travel also. Enhanced breasts move more like a block of jello - while there is substantial deformation the basic shape remains more or less constant - there tends to be more rocking around a relatively stable base. The wavelike motion of natural breasts is visible even in very small natural breasts but can also be present in enhanced breasts if there was a substantial amount of natural breast tissue before the augmentation.

"Two section appearance: Where generous natural breasts have been augmented by inserts below the natural breast there is often a visible demarcation in both shape and movement between the natural and artificial material. Victoria Paris and Keisha are prime examples of this. Before I got good at spotting the differences, I thought Victoria had great breasts but now I wonder how I missed the obvious.

"Bulges: Natural breasts have simple convex curves. Where you see mixtures of convex and concave (bulges) you're seeing visible evidence of implants. The base of an implant is often visible from the sides when a woman with them lays on her back - you see a distinct convex bulge above transitioning through a concave area to the side of the chest. Natural breasts either settle in for a much smoother transition or if large layover the chest wall and have a crease which extends around the side.

"Ripples: Similar to bulges but running the other way. Bulges tend to follow where the breast joins the chest wall. Ripples tend to run along the surface of the breast from the joint with the chest toward the nipple. Often most visible in doggie but in some cases can be seen in many positions. Anna Malle is an example of bad ripples visible in doggie."

Detroit News columnist Tom Long writes 10-17-97 about the new big three in American life - not just mom, the flag and apple pie but big naked blonds.

In September big naked fiftysomething blond Farrah Fawcett released All of Me, a video that displays her skills at painting with her breasts. Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy has become a media darling with a show on MTV and NBC, and a new video from Playboy. "There is big naked blond Jenny in a ghost town, big naked blond Jenny dancing around the house, big naked blond Jenny in a skimpy black negligee at night."

Long concludes that America wants Linda Evans and Drew Barrymore, Bo Derek and Jayne Mansfield and Pamela Anderson. "Irrational, infantile and racist or not, apparently gentlemen prefer blonds and blonds have more fun and if you've only got one life, why not live it as a blond? And why not be big and naked?"
