Breast implants. Are they good or are they bad? plz enlighten me.

How do I approach this with good taste?

I’m single, I’m male, and I’m in my 20’s; its obvious, breast implants are fantastic. But I’m going to put aside my natural inclinations and answer from an unbiased podium.

Given the pervasive and persuasive media influences our society fosters toward beauty, such an enhancement is quite easily considered to be beautifying and illustrious.

Not everyone is going to share that viewpoint. Let’s validate those personal enhancement devices.

Everyone grows up with some sort of fear and insecurity. These characteristics can be disabling for some. One of which is an underdeveloped woman. This physical abnormality may not nullify her capacity or her ability to succeed; but it may disable her physiologically. In this case, one could argue that breast implants are quite acceptable, and even the answer to ones struggle with self esteem and a perceived inadequacy.

Example time; a girl in her late teens/early twenties gets implants. They are fun, it attracts attention, and all is good. So what happens when she get married? That attention from all the guys certainly won’t dissipate. If anything it will increase, only it will shift form and come by way of devious flirtations (she is married now, thus those types of interactions are considered devious … which is bad).

Being married tends to lead to babies. It’s hard to say they care one way or another. But put yourself in their place. Would you rather sleep with a feather down pillow? Or a slab of styrofoam?

Not to mention, what happens with these implants when she get old? Perhaps in the future they will develop evolving implants, but as of right now, they are static. This means we are going to see 80 year old grandmas with the chests of 20 year olds, but more raisiny. Maybe I’m incorrect in saying that is wrong, it could just be my pessimistic side speaking out.

Are they good or are they bad?

They are neither. Breast implants in and of themselves do not do bad or good. It’s all in how their host uses them.
