Boobs don’t interest me.
There, I said it.
They don’t. I know this may be lowering the tone (but sod it, my blog) but breasts don’t interest me anymore.
Not to say I’m going to go out of my way to actively avoid them, they are lovely creations for lumps of flesh with nipples but their freekin everywhere now and they’ve lost their erotic appeal to me.
It all started with the page 3 of The Sun, you know the comic paper with a hint of news and lots of football. It was sort of a lad’s newspaper. Then came lad’s mags, thins such as Maxim. GOOD lad mags that where decently (ish) written and had more than just boobs and football. Now we have Nuts and Zoo which is really soft core porn, football and gadgets all in one lovely tiny magazine with no age limit so it can be sold to the 15 year old pocket mining demographic of the market.
They are the things that destroyed the allure of boobs for me.
Since they arrived (lout lad mags) the showing of breast is all too common just about everywhere, or at least breasts coved with something that won’t leave much to the imagination.
It used to be in Maxim they where coved and it seemed more sexy than just an out and out boob show in A4 on a page in the magazine your attempting to read on the bus.
It might just be beacuse I’m getting older….weirder and whatnot (damnit I’m only 21. I sound like I’m 40) but having boobs easily available from any shop including tesco then what erotic appeal can that have. It’s erotic due to the lack of what you can see, or at least thats how it used to be (oh look 1907 again already!.
Mate I am seriously worries about you. First you doubt you’re own existance and now boobs don’t do it for you any more!?!?
I’m 26 and getting more interested in jumper lumps every day!!! I do admit that the female body is a bit like breakfast cereals - one week it’s Frosties, the next week it’s Shredded wheat.
It’s not that I don’t like boobs but they just seem to be everywhere in most magazines and papers.
I can now flick though a paper or lad mag style magazine and just go;
“news, news, football, boobs, football, TV guide….oow QI is on.”
When their on display that much their just a body part. No erotic lure for me. Coved up a little leaving something to the imagination then they’ll call to me.
…maybe I’m just getting some weird fetish or something.
Damn mental problems.
And women say we only think about one thing - how can we not when it’s around us like air! I agree, there is much more “phwar!” potential if they are covered but revealing. I think that goes for every aspect.
I think you’ve been exposed to too many bare boobies Adam. Can’t be good for your soul. Maybe you should restrict yourself to Grattan catalogues instead of these naughty mags for a while!
There are that many films out which also fall into that Nuts magazine market (Into The Blue and that flick with Kelly Brook whose name I can’t even remember, it was that good)- where all the plot was on the poster IIRC.
Boobs are great but will they get me to go and watch a film, with no story? That’d be a waste of two hours. Over the summers season, Knocked Up took the right approach to having everything hanging out, by making it funny. Nothing wrong with wanting to fancy a real person, rather than just pix on a page.
On a side note Henry and Adam, do you reckon we have out own blog forum thing going here? Our own private bit of Custom Pc that no one else seems to travel through?

Ah, Gareth in the “Crap” post said;
“Btw, on the subject of blog readership, this will change when the blogs are fully integrated across the site, which should happen next week (hopefully). At this point, we’ll have blogs on the homepage and lists of top blog posts across all blogs, which will make it easier to find stuff, including your interesting post about boobs (how can anyone ever get bored with boobs?)”
So we should be getting some readers. …. I think.
I think I need to run everything through a spell checker. I have so many typos! I also just realised my keyboard number keys go 123465789. Must have been when I cleaned it last weekend! Apologies to anyone who I’ve said 6 and meant 5 to, or 5 and meant 6 to!
It’s interesting to see how many different versions of “Boobs” we came up with!
Boobs
boobies
Jubblies
Busts
Jumper lumps
God khenry you’re such a male shovenist!
I think I even called them Frosties at one point!
Now you mention it I do remember Col. Custard talking about them but that was ages ago? I think I got frustrated, then read his post, then I forgot and then got frustrated again!
True, maybe we do have some kind of “podcast in print” going on Combatus, but what do you mean I’m a Chauvinist? (Unless you were kidding, that is)
I was kidding - just in case someone gets offended I was worried so decided to blame you ![]()
Come on Adam everyone loves boobies or are you joining the musical loving apple using brigade
the only way you are proposing that you are fed up of them is if you buy these magazines, and go activly searching for them…
did you bring it upon yourself…?
and yes, i do think you are crazy. or not male. or you know, ride the other bus?
Maxim? Shouldn’t you be reading Men’s Fitness (link below) or something?
But I do know what you mean, I gave up with real porn years ago, mostly because the breasts were too big and I and no interest in amateur gynaecology. I’ve been making do with computer generated women (and an understanding wife) ever since.
Naomi Wolf has some interesting things to say about this in an article called “the porn myth” here:

The irony being in the current cover image on the same page.
Damn that sucks, if i ever get bored of boobs i will commit suicide. You got a point though, it’s just not the same when it’s EVERYWHERE.
“news, news, football, boobs, football, TV guide….oow QI is on.” So true, but completely removing your love of them?:(
You just need a nice young girl who knows how to make you interested in them again. ![]()
So what you’re saying is that you’ve become desensitised to them as you can see them every day in mags and newspapers.
