What is the actual point of a bra?

I_Fart_Glitter , 4 hours ago

I'm a small breasted woman who does not wear a bra. The reasons of practicality and comfort are described below for bigger chested people (I didn't see mentioned that if they are really big and you try to run without serious, sometimes two sports bras on they can fly up and hit you in the face). I do sometimes accidentally hit my nipple on something, which I don't like.

But in my experience, people get upset at seeing boob shaped boobs. Strangers tell me I should be wearing a bra. They want bra shaped boobs. Nipples are scary.

I haven't worn one since middle school when it was new and fun and made me feel "grown up" (but uncomfortable). But some years back I got shingles and apparently permanent nerve damage on the nerve group that would be right under the bra band on my back and anything irritating it makes me feel like I'm on fire so it's just not going to happen. Certainly not in the name of sparing the general public the scandal of seeing boob shaped boobs in a loose T shirt. At the very most I will use silicone tape to hide my nipples in very formal situations.

It's very sexy to see nipples through clothes. I don't know why but it's just much hotter than seeing bare breasts.

Maybe people ask you to wear a bra because it's making guys get distracted.

I am also reliably told that the removal of a bra - particularly a tight one - at the end of a working day is almost as wonderful as the feeling of taking your socks off when you get home.

Bliss.

Wait what? I wear socks at all times unless I’m in water or asleep. Mostly because my feet are always cold.

I do enjoy the ski sock peel at the end of a day on the slopes though!

I have also never even considered taking my socks off when I get home. But if I lived in a warm country, I would.
