Open Source Boob ProjectFollow

There has been a storm over on lj community since The Ferret, first posted about The Open Source Boob Project at Penguincon this weekend.

Sorry no photos to make either of this links NWS, unless your co workers are prudes who like to read over your shoulders.

Somehow I can picture my daughter and her friends getting involve with this project. Sad that so many women feel threaten at the thought of others allow people to ask if they can touch their chest.

I actually around when one of my daughter's girl friends, would ask if they could touch another's boobs and they all love the attention it gets. In fact I find just wearing my bodice rather uplifting for my mood. I just make sure that if I'm at a family friendly event, like a convention, I try to keep my cleavage lest expose, then I would when at a cub. Then I also enjoy the look I got while wearing a brass collar with lock, or the time I was carrying two large stuff toy sheep around during the Scottish weekend at the fair.

I guess it's comes from growing up in a family that expose children to nude painting at a early age, but I can't see anything wrong with shocking a few prudes every once and awhile. While attending art school, we would all smile glee, as we took Parents into a life drawing class, during a tour of the school.

Why is that sad?

Most people have boundries. I, personally, wouldn't want a stranger asking if they can touch my boobs. I also wouldn't want said stranger asking if they could touch any part of my body.

Asking would rather defeat the purpose.

some guy discussing this wrote:
The idea there, as I understand it, was to reinforce the idea that breasts were not these sacred and yet bizarre objects designed to attract attention to themselves and away from the person they are part of


I don't think I'm a prude and it really wouldn't offend me if someone touched my breast through ordinary type contact, but I kind of like the idea of having a mysterious, pychologically powerful, sacred body part.

I agree.

That, and I imagine my husband would be more than a little upset if I just let any ol' guy come on up and grope me.

It's a priviledge, goddammit.

You misunderstood her statement.

The people who are upset aren't involved. The ones who are upset aren't wearing a pin that says "yes you may". If someone wants to wear a pin that expresses their permission to be touched, why the hell should someone else have a problem with it? That is what Elne thinks is sad. If you don't want someone to touch you, don't give permission, but why should you care if someone else is giving permission? The argument is twofold: 1. the classic "it's degrading to women" argument, and 2. it's making the rest of us look like prudes.

To #1 I say that it's empowering and not degrading (which was the intention), and to #2 I say, "I don't look like a prude, my tits are just too good for you...go rub the peasant tits, they're free and labeled."

You're missing the point that first you had to ask and be willing to get turn down by the person wearing the pin. Also only a few people who were known to the group that started the project were given a pin and for those not comfortable with having their boobs touch, there was a Red pin that say "No, You may Not ask to Touch My Boobs."

The first blog I link was from a guess at the Con, who actually never notice any of this happening during the weekend, but learn of it at lunch with one of the young females that took part.

Now I wouldn't let anyone touch my boobs if they just came up and asked, yet I understand why the young women I known to have done so, might allow a few girls friends to touch them in public. They are very comfortable with their bodies and have S.O's who are not prudes.

BTW, Belkira you seem to have done well in translating Elnese. I been too busy trying to finish reading so many different blogs that I'm not going to attempt to proof read my posts.

Oh.

Well, in that case, I agree.

My mistake!

Smiley: lolI'm trying to work on my post count and figure adding one or two threads of Elnese would be a good refresher for you.

Thank you...it's really hard to practice in without your help. It was easier back when we could just spam it on the boat to Butcherblock, but since I got tendonitis...

I don't think my husband is a prude, and if a girlfriend asked to feel my tit, I think he'd be fine with it.

I think he'd only have an issue if it was a random stranger. Smiley: grin

But ultimately, I agree with you. If people are that comfortable, then they should be allowed to have their boobs touched where ever and whenever they like.

Right.

Yes, you're very big and strong and macho and a fierce protector and all that. We're all very impressed. Go crush a beer can on your head or something.

I honestly meant caved in by you, actually, but thanks! Like I'd hit someone over wanting to touch your rack. I wouldn't have time for anything else.

I'm pretty sure it's my ***, the rack doesn't have all that much going for it these days, but thanks.
