The Good News
My friend had her lumpectomy procedure last week. So far, she reports everything is okay. The surgery seems to have left things in good shape. (Tongue in cheek required)
Before we further discuss the subject of male and female breasts, let us look at my latest sketches.

There is a truth that most of us don't discuss breasts in polite company.
I believe that if we look at the lithe figure of a runway model or the earth mother with ten to fifteen extra pounds buttered generously over her body, there is a man lusting after that woman. The diversity of women that creates interest in men is a comprehensive and varied collection of types.
One feature that quickens men's attention to women is their breasts. The common impression is that the bigger, the better, but I caution you not to accept that myth. Before we engage in that battle, let's ask the bigger question. Why the fascination exists at all?
I have nothing intellectual to lend to this argument except my experience and numerous jocular conversation with men and a few women.
There's the inclination to think that, as babies, we naturally become attracted to what nourishes us. But, unfortunately, that doesn't explain why most females don't retain a lustful attraction to other women's breasts. Envy, yes, but hardly lust.
There is an opinion that because there is mutual pleasure when attention is paid to female breasts during foreplay, it is natural for men to think of that experience when visualizing the possibility. The problem with this theory is that young boys, long before they learn the practice of seduction and satisfaction, are ogling women's boobs.
The thing that resonates with me is the "you always want what you can't have" theory. The vast majority of us live where it is a social norm for women to cover their breasts. That might explain why men go to strip clubs to experience the unfettered delight of topless women. I'm not sure how a society that doesn't require women to cover their breasts works, but until we subjected them to modern world practices, their societies functioned quite well without the pushup bra.
While we are n the subject of boobs.
Why is someone who is classically stupid called a boob? I think it references men's boobs since they apparently serve no purpose.
So let's consider the re-election of Ron Johnson. Johnson's deep dive into everything, including unproven election fraud resulting in Joe Biden's election. Johnson has dabbled in misogyny, homophobia, and Q anon theories. The question is, who is the boob Johnson or is it the people who vote for him?
I found this photo of Keith Richards thought-provoking. There's an oft-heard joke about Richards. It said he is dead, and he isn't aware of it.
This morning, I looked at my face while shaving and decided that the joke about Richards isn't funny.
