Ask a Scientist: Should I Sleep in a Bra?


If you don't want to throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier...

The Scientist: Arthur Perry, M.D., YouBeauty Cosmetic Surgery Expert
The Answer: If you don’t want the girls to sag, then you’ll have to tuck them up before you tuck yourself in. It’s sad but true: Sleeping sans bra is the major cause of breast droop.

Sex and the American Man: A Preview


Gentlemen, a show of hands: Who's having enough sex these days? We commissioned a nationwide survey to find out when (and where and why) American men are having sex right now, and the results reveal the expectations, frustrations, proclivities, perversions, and fantasies that define how we're doing it. Let's get started, shall we?

SCIENCE SAYS: MEN LIKE BIG BREASTS BECAUSE WOMEN LIKE FEELING MATERNAL

Freud would be so proud.

Thanks to our burgeoning pair bond, we were married in the spring.

I am so fucking sick of hearing about oxytocin.

“Ooh, it’s the love hormone!” I can just imagine some CBS studio exec saying in the next few years or so. “Let’s build a show around a hot, stressed-out lady lawyer who’s an oxytocin addict!” Cue all the accidental bonding and evolutionarily-made-for-each-other shenanigans. Barf.

Boob Basics
The quintessential embodiment of female sexuality, breasts have fascinated and mystified since the beginning of time. From the biology that makes breasts, and breast-feeding, possible, and the odd boob changes that occur with motherhood to historical perceptions of the hourglass shape, LiveScience the art and science of breasts.



The First Bra
Women have strapped down their breasts with fabric bands or boosted their cleavage with body-shaping corsets for centuries, depending on current fashions. But the precursors to modern bras began to appear in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The magazine “Vogue” first used the term brassiere in 1907. In 1914, American Mary Phelps-Jacobs patented the first bra design, which consisted of two handkerchiefs sewn together with baby ribbon used as straps.
The first push-up bra came on the scene in 1948, introduced by Frederick Mellinger of Frederick's of Hollywood fame. According to Redbook magazine, the average woman today owns nine bras.

Super Shocking Study: Men Like Breasts


Ok, no news there. But new research does show how the sizes stack up.

Men Like Breasts
A lucky few, 128 men to be exact, were picked to participate in a study at the University Of Wroclaw, in which they were forced to ogle ta-tas from not one, not two, but three different angles!
Not a bad way to do your part for science, ey, gentlemen?
And while a not-so-sneaky peak at our cleavage might induce an eye roll from the average woman, the findings could prove even more disheartening for women with cup sizes C and up.
According to the study, men attracted to busty babes were romantic rolling stones whose relationships were mostly short lived. On the other hand, men who preferred a perfectly petite pair tended to be the kind that liked to settle down in committed relationships.
Clearly those commitment types know what requirements are really important for a woman to fill and it’s not a bra!
Although, perhaps that’s a little altruistic because as the researchers explained, “As predicted, [playboys] generally gave higher ratings than did [serial monogamist types], but the significance was only at larger breast sizes.” Adding, “We also found that medium to large sizes were rated as the most attractive by both male groups.”
The researchers didn’t seem surprised by their data and we doubt anyone who has ever dined at Hooters would either. But here’s some good news—unless you’re Lindsay Lohan. That side boob trend that was trying to happen in fashion, well, that view rated the lowest with men. Seems guys prefer the full 3D effect in the depth of an oblique view.
Despite the findings, Viren Swami, Ph.D., YouBeauty Attraction Expert, whose research was cited in the study, reassures us there’s no need to get too caught up in our cup size because, “When men judge the attractiveness of a woman, the most important criteria are facial features; after this comes overall body size, and only after this do other features like breast size, leg length, etc. come into play. Sure, some men may emphasize breasts more than others, but generally speaking it doesn't influence attractiveness judgments in the same way that, say, facial features do.”
So, ladies, there's even more reason to say to a guy staring at your boobs, “My eyes are up here!”
