Describing Breasts

Descriptions are complex things, but, done well, they seem simple and elegant and easy, just like a ballet or a football play. In describing almost anything, a writer uses the same elements and techniques. To illustrate, in this article, I will show aspiring writers how to describe a pair of breasts. First, notice, I said a pair of breasts. Since there are two of them, a writer must be ready, willing, and able to describe either or both of them, which means, among other things, that he or she must see them in relation to both one another and to other things (such as, if tit fucking is involved, a cock).

First, before any verbal painting is begun, the writer must murder to dissect, for, to realistically depict something that is anatomical and physiological, one must have an understanding of its basic form and function. Thus, a brief lesson in anatomy and physiology is in order.

According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, the female breast--you didn't think, by "breasts," I meant that I was going to explain how to describe male breasts, I hope--is a highly modified sweat gland, the areola of which contains "several sebaceous glands" which are "drained to the nipple by between 4 and 18 lactiferous ducts," each of which "has its own opening."

The article continues: "The remainder of the breast is composed of connective tissue (collagen and elastin), adipose tissue (fat), and Cooper's ligaments." As for the variety of breast shape, this attribute is largely "dependent on their support, which primarily comes from the Cooper's ligaments, and the underlying chest on which they rest." High, round breasts indicate youthfulness, as "such a shape is common in younger women and girls," whereas, among more mature (that is, older) women, the weight of sagging breasts "is actually supported by the chest against which the lower breast surface comes to rest, as well as the deep anchorage at the base. The weight is thus distributed over a larger area, which has the effect of reducing the strain."
