Boob Jobs and Bras

I've been thinking about breast augmentation surgery a lot lately. It was one of those weird moments stemming from a recent weekend encounter where - okay, I'll just say it - I was reminded that it's possible to tell which part of a woman's breast is real and exactly where her implant starts, if she has one.

The result can be, well, odd at best. Sometimes, however, it can be downright disturbing.

Oh, and did I mention that the temperature of a woman's breast varies if she has an implant? The part of it that is an implant is colder than the natural part.

This is also kind of disturbing.

Very, very disturbing.

It's enough to make me feel sorry for any guy who ends up in the bedroom with Heidi Montag. (I mean, not sorry by a lot. Just a little.)

All of this makes be believe that an old-fashioned padded bra is a lot better than a boob job. They're both nice to look at. However, a Wonderbra or the new BioFit from Victoria's Secret doesn't have all of the weirdness with it.

Better Than A Boob Job

Granted, the aesthetic benefits, if you will, disappear when the bra comes off, which is the one area where a boob job is better. However, I'm fairly confident that by that time, most guys would lost in the moment enough to not care.

If a woman were in a position where she was spending a lot of time topless (e.g., exotic dancers, porn stars, or American Apparel models) then it would be a different matter all together. However, for almost all women, I've come to believe that a bra is better than a boob job.

Plus, a woman can get a lifetime supply of bras for less than the cost of a boob job. This allows her to spend her money on other things, like shoes or buying alcohol for one blogger or another.
