Yes, the politics comment ''twas but a feeble attempt at humour. I thought the story you referred to was top notch.

Although I am creeping past retirement age and have had interactions with many sizes of breasts, I still don't have any idea how to tell a cup size by sight.

Rough guide to Breast ("cup") size.

AAA = "flat" effectively

AA .5" or 1.5cm

A = 1" or 2.5cm

B = 2" or 5cm

C = 3" or 7.5cm

D = 4" or 10cm

DD is the distance out from a woman's chest, but wider.

Sizes such as E, FF, or H get more complex, and often are because a woman is overweight to obese, or had Breast Enhancement surgery.

Another likelihood is if she has D or smaller breasts you or I are unlikely to see even the edges of her breasts from directly behind. Perhaps a skinny girl you might see a bit of the curve of her breasts from behind; more likely with a D cup; in particular if her arms aren't tight against her side, and she isn't wearing lose clothing.

An even sloppier "guide" is a Plum = to AA or A, a Lime = A, a large-ish Lemon 🍋 = B 😀 an Orange 🍊 = C 😉

D is in the Honeydew Melon 🍈 4" circumference 😍 👏 (I actually prefer a C-cup).

The width of a woman's chest, and her cleavage, depend upon how separated her breasts are. Some, even small ones, may touch, others may have significant separation.

I knew an athletic young woman in college who had a 36" bust A-cup breasts, firm, but pliable with a handspan separation. I thought she was beautiful; but others thought she was "flat" (because of her athletic build, I guess).

Purchasing lingerie for young women helped me learn measurements; as well as particular young ladies preferences.

That doesn't account for the fact that cup sizes change with band (chest) size. If a woman is a 34B the cup volume is smaller than someone with 36B.
It also doesn't account for bra sizes being widely different from manufacturer to manufacturer. There is no industry standard sizing system.

Or, to quote the late Frank Zappa, "Anything over a mouthful is wasted" ;-)

While Marius-6 is correct about sizes, for the benefit of telling "a cup size by sight" or creating a mental image based on a story, I'd simplify it as:

A = too small to be obvious under most clothing, but still clearly a breast not just raised flesh

B = small enough that you can cover with one hand, but big enough to play with

C = big enough to put your hand under to hold

D = too big to hide even in loose clothing

DD+ = big enough to be distracting and uncomfortable for the owner

Obviously I'm oversimplifying and not intending to suggest anything about anyone who likes a given size.

Note also that a woman's height and body frame will affect both size and appearance. C-cup breasts on a woman who is 155cm (5'1") will likely be smaller in overall size than C-cup on a woman who is 180cm (5'11"), but will appear much larger. They stick out the same distance but aren't as wide or full.

I cannot undersand writers who are obessed with huge breasts. They live in a world where every female sports a pair of triple D's. How many have passed you by today? I'm guessing none, just like yesterday and the day before that.

I see waaaaay too many D, DD, DDD, E, and H+ breasts... every day I go out! Sadly, that is because the women are over 200 pounds, or even 350+ pounds! Some ride those four-wheel "scooter chairs" and huff and puff in the rare circumstances they attempt to stand...

NOT sexy... well, I try not to recall some people are turned on by many things I find repulsive...

Of course, I am no longer an attractive man. At least I was fit. I am even losing some weight and still have some muscles 💪 😅 🙃

I have read that a "B-cup" is most typical for teens and young women in porn videos. In the USA, after age 25 a D cup or larger seems typical; at least at the mall where I stroll, or when I go grocery shopping, or take the bus. 🚌 When I walk in the park B or C cups seems common.

well this is the same with me as well, I try to zen out by thinking "Everyone's entitled to their kinks"

Though id say the worst thing an author can do is put something in a story the reader will hate and not warn them with codes....

If you code a bra a poisonous snake a cobra can occur.

Please do not encourage him.
There's a reason for the ignore button.

Sadly, that is because the women are over 200 pounds, or even 350+ pounds!

And yet all the 350 lb guys seem to have even smaller dicks. Does that sound fair to you?

[joking, obviously]

In anime not only are they obsessed with large breasts but they have them on young high school girls.

I myself don't care for big breasts, mostly the ones that have enough sag to pass the pencil test but also can support a sledge hammer.

Are there codes that make you just scroll to the next one?

Yes.

Nice done – answering his question without supplying the information he really was after.

HM.

Three sizes:

1. Handful

2. Takes Two Hands to handle.

3. What do you think I am, an octopus?

ETA: Decided to expand that to 5 sizes:
1. Just a pinch
2. Handful
3. Takes two hands to handle
4. Piano for four hands
5. What do you think I am, an octopus?

But Tear Jerker? You're missing on some great stories that carry this one.

I am aware of that. But I read SOL for entertainment and I am not entertained by sad stories. I get enough of those from real life.

Many of the Tear Jerker stories wind up HEA. The man/boy is devastated by loss of the love of his life or family but is brought back from the depths by the magical pixie girl.
