Plastic Fantastic - or not

I was in the pub a couple of nights ago and the conversation arose (well, I started it) about false boobs. OK, now enough sniggering. This was a serious psychological, physiological and sociological discussion. No really, it was.

The question I posed was: "Would you ever have a boob job / want your partner to have a boob job?" Now, admittedly, the sample size was a bit on the small size (five people) but the result was unanimous. A definite 'no'. Now this discussion was only based on women wanting a new 'set' for cosmetic reasons.

Some of the ladies said that whilst they might like a, er, 'fuller' figure, they definitely wouldn't want surgery to achieve a desired look. The blokes approached it from a slightly different angle. They thought that 'falsies' usually looked really obvious and often ridiculous. I suggested that the reason for this was that often women wanted to look considerably enhanced or improved following surgery. This is partly due to the feelgood factor but also due to the amount of money spent. BUPA hospitals charge around £4,500 for a 'breast augmentation' so if you're paying that sort of cash, you want value for money. Thus, some women will go from an 'A' cup to a 'DD' in one afternoon. Now that's what I call inflation.

Anyway, the other thing people said was that false boobs actually feel false and this was a big no-no for the chaps. One of the women mentioned that nowadays the implant itself can be inserted under the muscle rather than just under the skin. This apparently gives a more realistic look and feel. However, I began to feel a bit ill at this point so I can't go into more detail on that.

In summary, whilst false boobs may look great under clothing, when unleashed they look un-natural and even amusing. They don't feel like they should and are generally seen (by five of us at least) as undesireable and un-sexy. What do you think?
