I am feeling a bit awkward to write this..but I felt there should be an extension to Thinking aloud -1. So here it is. This is toooo damn awkward.. :-| Okay.. Here it goes..
Few weeks back, when I was in college, once I was talking to a guy friend in corridor and we were standing beside the wall facing each other.. It was break time so people were going to or coming from the class-rooms. While talking to him, I was (obviously) looking at him..but he was not looking at me.. That was a bit different from how he used to be. We hardly chatted in corridor and usually we sit in class-room or canteen or at Chaiwala. We used to sit and talk.
So I was looking at him..then I was paying attention to him.. Then I realized that he was looking at pretty or not-so-pretty girls. Then I looked more carefully and he was not really at their faces but..umm..well at breasts.
(Actually this is no-brainer but this was first time I saw some guy actually staring at boobs... No..no..2nd time.. First time it was a very good (another) friend but that is even more awkward than this..)
Okay.. Guys watch porn...and it is available like never before(Courtesy of internet).. They have girlfriend/s whom they probably sleep with. (Not all but some).. Now they have access to such enormous variety(!!!!) why would still they stare at breasts of girl passing by..even if she is not wearing plunging neckline or V-neck dress..
(Some boys have head-to-toe look but some other day on that)
Somewhere I read that guys are curious about it so they stare..but can their eyes scan via the dress and see it?? And FCS, boobs are boobs.. I mean what would be different?? (Please not that I am not against guys staring at boobs.. I know its natural but its a bit hard to digest)
Somewhere else I got to read that boys are attached to breasts right since breast-feeding.. Come on...what about guys who don't get breast-fed??
Also I have noticed one thing. Girls do wear clothes that would highlight their "assets" but that doesn't include nipples.. They just show some part of it to make others(read guys/men) curious about it.. What the hell is point of this??
And media makes havoc when some celebrity wears see-through clothing causing nipslip and side-boobs..?? So breasts are okay and nipples are not.. Huh!!! Or is it like now it has became okay to show off a part of breast but nipples are NO-NO??
The other day, I watched a movie Lamhe on DD National..starring Shri Devi and Anil Kapoor as leads.. The songs pictured on Shri Devi, she danced so well.. And in one of the songs, she was wearing traditional Rajsthani Ghagra-Choli. Why about some old flick in this post? Because in that attire, there were no plunging neckline..no bare midriff..just as much as some orthodox Rajsthani married woman do while wearing Saree or Ghagra-choli?? Further as the film proceeds, they go to London..there again.. She was wearing simple and vibrant skirt-midis.. T-shirts and pants..all of them colorful and chic but not showing off her breasts or midriff.. And she delivered stunning performance. Show off had nothing to do with her acting.. She was not trying to look sexy. Her dances were suave.. She dint have to show bare,toned back to dance well. She was immersed completely into character. And her character had shades of an adult girl to teen girl of sixteen..(I said in reverse order because the adult one gives birth to a daughter and dies. And then Shri Devi herself plays the role of her adolescent daughter.)
She was so graceful in her own skin..so natural and yet soo much the character itself.. How many actress can today do this without looking sexy, wearing bikini
and smooching on-screen? I am not against kisses, bikinis or bare midriffs/backs.. Just that it is not part of acting..or so do I think..
Enough of rambling now and going back to the original question..
I found this research on men's staring at breasts by Larry Young(iske toh naam mein hi jawani hain :P ;))..
And here an article that kinda praises celebrities who can rock see-thru clothes.. Most other are like.."OMG..she is wearing transparent dress and her nipples are visible..click..click..."
