the Other Press’ Opinion Poll § The Third Degree

Rea Harasemljuk
OP photographer

 

Last week's poll question was about breasts. And the winner, by a landslide is...

 

 

REAL BOOBS: 12 FAKE BOOBS: 0

 

 

Question: What would you like
to read about more in the OP?

 

 

 

 

And here’s a few thoughts from the Douglas College community:

   
   
  
   

Is the opiniorf poll going to map the whole female anatomy one erogenous zone at a
time? Frankly, or is that Surely? This rather titillating question conjures issues of psy-
chological rather than aesthetic consideration. Is it vanity or neurosis that inspires
women to go to such extremes? Either way, this is one male that shudders at the
thought of altering the body when the problem is in the mind.

—A.H.

I would like to get
more information
about changes in the
programs.

This is a difficult question. Of course beautiful breasts that are naturally so, are prefer-

able, but if you weren't blessed with a shapely set, a kick-ass pair of falsies are lovely. If a
woman feels sexy with what she’s packing, then I don't think it matters. So I guess I
vote natural, but let it be known I have nothing against implants, reconstructive sur-

gery, etc.

Real. Fake *might* seem nice, but I'd prefer them not to be bigger than my head,
thank you very much. (On the other hand, if ke = bigger than my head, |

 

wont complain. ) : : : _edto government cut-

Natural. And don't gimme any of that “I did it for my self confidence” crap either.

Nuthin’ better than a woman's natural breasts. dime

Real. Why would anyone want to ‘hse iaeally Gece surgery to cbs a _ i=
fake body image? Not to mention the fact that implants often cause physical problems, | I like the stories and _
including back pain because of the unnatural weight distribution. People need to grow __ articles in the OP. Iam

_ As someone whose gaping vulnerability and infantile needs induce even the hardest ) ae Jamie
bitch to start lactating, I still receive a significant portion of my daily carbohydrate
requirements from the innumerable women who insist on forcing me to the breast to
relieve the pressure in their swollen glands. It therefore goes without saying that I defi-
nitely prefer real breasts. Silicone gives me gas.

—Bryan
