    As far as boys are concerned, until girls grow hooters, they are merely annoying, sissy versions of boys. Let the boobs begin to grow and the waist pinch in and the hips spread a little, and we’re interested.

    Thinking will make it so? Thinking will make them grow? Pierre is just too, too smug!

    “Thinking will make it so? Thinking will make them grow? Pierre is just too, too smug!”

    Well, if the tooth-shield thing fails, Pierre could enter the self-help circuit as a guru advertising that he can help women develop the self-confidence and positive thinking necessary for non-surgical breast augmentation… in the guru game, it helps to be a little bit foreign, and being French should give him a head-start. All he needs is a good line in Deepak Chopra or Louise Hay bollocks-speak, and he’s there!

    I’ve known some very young boys who’ve been fascinated with breasts on older females long before they manifest on girls of their own age. I’m talking about 6- and 8-year old boys who go “Oh my GOSH, look at THOSE!!!”

    fritzoid, I’m thinking that they picked that up from their dads or older brothers.

    No older brothers in this case (rather, the 8-year old was the brother of the 6-year old), but very likely culture was a factor (either instead of or in addition to biology). However, who among us did not grow up in a culture? I’m not offering this example up as the norm, but neither do I consider it an aberration…

    Of course, I don’t know exactly how they responded to this breast-consciousness. Did it trigger hormonal arousal? Probably not (I won’t say “certainly not”, though). Their tendency to say “That lady has big boobies!” may have been no more meaningful than another child’s pointing out every fat person or every tall person s/he sees on the street. But they were very aware of this particular feature…

    It certainly was an odd transition from being “one of the guys” to being acknowledged as a female when the “boobies” grew in with a vengeance one summer.

    So who noticed the boobies first, Raoul, Mona, or M. Smokey. (I’m leaving Pierre out of this one.)
