I agree that the contestants in any beauty contest set themselves up for the disappointment of not winning or even finishing among the finalists. I just don't see where being in any way held up to public ridicule needs to be part of the bargain. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...I've no more to say on the subject.
I am genuinely surprised at the current standings of the best breast contest. I have always been an Au Natural kind of guy, and have (apparently) foolishly believed that MOST men feel the same way. In about EVERY lockerroom or poker table type discussion I have been in where breasts of course came up; the overwhelming consensus has been that natural breasts are far more attractive than big hard plastic tits!
Being a former strip club affecionado, I have had exposure to some of the most amazing fake titties in the world. I have fondled and squeezed (well, as much as one can "squeeze" concrete) many SCORES of fake titties and am just NOT attracted to them. I almost NEVER hear any guy talk about how much he loves fake titties. Quite the opposite. Ask about any guy (and here is where I think is the catch) to his FACE and he will tell you he likes breasts to be natural.
YET, when the question becomes one of anonymity, OVERWHELMINGLY these same guys are voting in the plastic sacs! I was STUNNED to see this. It makes me take pause. We try to tell the ladies that they don't need to go out and buy titties cuz it just doesn't make a difference. IT JUST ISN'T TRUE. Gods, I pray that this doesn't inspire a bunch of cuties to go out and wreck their bodies because of this revelation.
I am asking seriously, why do you guys SAY you like natural breasts when it just ain't so!?
Agree and disagree... (BTW, I too am squarely in the natural camp.)
Sabrina and Jazmin (naturals) are holding their own. (I'd like to be holding their own, come to think about it!)
Bianca, well, what can you say? OMG. There's a "li'l sumpin'" there for everybody... She deserves standing ovation on her own merits AND doctor deserves Nobel Prize. Still, Jazmin wins out for me.
The one that surprises me is Claudia, who has that VERY pronounced implant look, and I suspect that her #1 position is the source of your post. I too am puzzled.
Interestingly, there's been a lot of press lately about the size of supermodels/Playboy/Sport Illustrated going from D to C as an athletic look is in.
I think it is because the voting is, well, photo-based, after all. Implants are supposed to look better, and maintain better, than natural breasts, and to be quite honest, they just do, hence the votes toward the implants. Just take a look down the line at the naturals, purely superficially, of course, and see the difference in balance of the nipple location and "sag," for lack of a better term.
The best implants asthetically have been the prosthetic tear-drop-shaped implants -- versus the rounds, which I have always disliked the look of. The prosthetics were originally created for masectomy patients, to look *and feel* natural with an extended "lifetime" over rounds. Personally, as someone who has seen an enormous amount of fakes, like yourself, the rounds are a *big* turnoff, and the prosthetics have a much better natural look/shape and feel to them, if properly placed by a good cosmetic surgeon.
Probably the worse form of implants as far as feel and look (and unfortnately the most popular) are rounds placed "over the muscle." Unfortunately, they are very noticable, and very hard due to the amount of saline used to avoid "rippling" of the implant, with a very distinguishable "line" around their shape (see Cherie, Taylor, Autumn Rayne, Candy Dancer, Ashley Evans, Jaden Storm, Nikki Diamond, Alexandria). They take about 3 years to "soften" in their look, but not feel. It is highly recommended by surgeon and manufacturer that they are replaced every 5 years, which is expensive and painful, and this unfortunately causes a high amount of scar tissue to develop in addition to expense and pain, and disturbs the smooth lines of the breast (see Erika the Fox). Rounds also cause the highest degree of "sag" if not replaced (though this will vary according to genetic predisposition for tissue degeneration within the breast tissue over time itself, i.e. natural sagging with age), tightening with these implants is largely indicated by the amount of tightening over the nipple area itself (see Christine, Kasha, Del Rey). There is not a tremendous amount of advantage by placing the implant "under the muscle," when the size of the implant far exceeds the area of muscle available to cover it, though the implant has a far more natural look if placed and sized according to the body's frame. If the implant is too large/muscling area too small, it only forces the implants outward to the sides when the pectorals are used (see Jenna Michelle), and never allows the implants to properly "set" into the the normal breast cavity/position. However, if the muscling and implant sizes are proportionate, the implant has a softer, "athletic" look, though still harder feel.
The prosthetic implants should only be placed above the muscle, as the exterior of the implant is "fuzzy" and designed to "set" into the natural breast tissue for a much more natural look, feel, and position, and are not filled as tightly with saline as the round implants. When they are done well, they can be barely distinguished from the real thing (see Bianca, Talia, Carrie I suspect?, Louann, Cari). The main difference is the amount of "stretch" over the nipple and breast is minimized, the slope from the colarbone is softened (see Cari, Carrie?, Bianca, Talia), the "settling" time for the breasts is much shorter (around 1 year versus 3), and the "lifetime" of the implant is double that of the round. They are also softer to the touch, and get softer as they continue to "settle" into the natural breast tissues. They are much more pleasant to hold and massage than the round implants, though obviously not as good as "the real thing."
Hope this helps to explain "why they look so good" -- sometimes, but "why they feels so bad" -- most of the time.
Usual disclaimers apply; I'm no doctor, nurse, etc., but I have done an amazing amount of research in preparation for my own implants, which I have now had for about 3 years.

met her personally and she has yet to enter into the boobs contest. My own impressions are based on the photos in her site: http://www.escortcalifornia.com/index.html. They are all clothed not nude.
I didn't notice any "sag" effect on those bikini shots. They look pretty good to me. Maybe you have seen her naked in person or discovered some nude pictures of her. Unless further evidents are presented, I don't agree with your comment about NOSC.
p.s. I think you might have confused GrayEyedNicole of Boston (Nicole in the contest) with NOSC (Nicole of Southern California). Then again, GrayEyedNicole's boobs are natural, according to the photos and her profile.
Yeah...they're all from the same agency too. Coincidence? I doubt it.
I think we all have the right to do with our Bodys what we like & choose,
And most women, with Enhanced breasts, Look great.
but.. for Myself, I am All Natural..
I like My Breasts, Soft & Sweet..
Luscious Knockers!
Im going to keep them this way!!
Thanks!
Ive allways heard,
A Little over a Mouth Full is a waste.
Right?!
I'm not really in either camp. Au natural is certainly wonderful, although a really nicely enhanced version can be attractive...perhaps depending on how Mother Nature happened to bless the particular lady, enchancement could be an improvement. But I cast my vote & have no problem with who anyone else may have voted for...they're as entitled as I am.
But if I might take this opportunity to add something on the subject that I found a little shocking. In some of the other threads regarding the contest I've noticed a few comments that have frankly surprised me..so insensitve that they border on being cruel. What's up with that? I mean, if a guy is turned off by the pic, so be it..but why feel the need to post it & hold the gal up public critism? Going that far shows a total lack of class IMO.
Well, it is a contest with voting based on subjective judgements of quality. As NOSC said, if you don't want them talked about (or criticized!), don't put them on display in a competition.
As for NOSC, it is purely my fault for dragging her beautiful (tear drop) breasts into this!!!
So spank me,

I agree that the contestants in any beauty contest set themselves up for the disappointment of not winning or even finishing among the finalists. I just don't see where being in any way held up to public ridicule needs to be part of the bargain. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...I've no more to say on the subject.
...but I would agree there would be no point to abject "ridicule" of anyone's form!!! If I've personally offended anyone, I apologize, amend or delete. Comparison in the case of a contest is expected; ridicule of those competing in the contest is not acceptable.
Isn't one of the "rules" of the TER Discussion Boards "...Please don't post anything that is simply being mean...?" The posts which have been made to ridicule (or just simply being mean) should be deleted by the moderator, IMHO.

This a visual contest not a touchy-feely contest. You're right natural boobs feel better and if the planets are aligned correctly, look better. Alas, Mother Nature sometimes doesn't mold things the way we'd like and by better living through science, man has created a way to perfect the look and size of Mother Nature creations.
Actually, it doesn't surprise me at all. Haven't you noticed, there's always a difference, a gap, between what people SAY they believe, and their actions? People will also try and tell you they don't judge others based on appearances!

...that Bridgette has not gotten an overwhelming voting response from TER members. Her naturals are by far the most balanced and appealing, at least from my POV, and I'm not Bi! LOL

Is it just me? Every time I visit the contest page, I end up with a different set of answers than my last visit. Go figure. I wish everybody could vote for their top 3 and then total the votes!
Today it's Dominique and Jazmin neck-and-neck in the naturals category and Bianca continues to stand alone in my faux category.
The 21st looms ahead... I can't take the pressure!!! ;^)
