I’m so excited to join in the A to Z blog hop!!! Truly, I regard it as a terrific challenge and a wonderful kick-start to my new website. My topic for the entire 26 days will be romance, particularly erotic romance. My structure will be as follows:
I am going to first list the pertinent words for the day and then discuss one of them in alphabetical order , of course.
B: breast, bawdy, bitch, booty, balls, ballocks, and bugger.
The above are my list of sexy and/or erotic and/or romantic B words. Feel free to chime in with your own!
For the second day of the A to Z blog hop challenge – I choose the word Breast.
Breast definition: either of two soft rounded organs on each side of the chest in women and men. In women the organs are more prominent and produce milk after childbirth.
What is it about the female mammary glands that so fascinates men and boys? And has since the dawn of time? True there are leg men and ass men, but do you know a single man (heterosexual or otherwise inclined) who doesn’t fixate on the TV screen when the Baywatch intro with Pamela Anderson running in slow motion plays?
And the obsession is not regulated to adolescents and older males. I remember vividly vacationing with my two youngest sons on a beach where a couple of European women were suntanning topless. My sons were happily digging in the sand and fetching water from the sea. They ran up and down the beach past the women for ten minutes or so. Then, on the way to the water, my youngest son dropped his pail, squatted next to one of the women, gleefully grinned, and then jiggled both her breasts. He must have been all of five at the time. I was mortified.
Did you know that Breast Cancer is the leading cancer killer of women? In 2011 an estimated 40,000 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S. Three of my good friends have been diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer. One had to have two radical mastectomies and her insurance refused to pay for reconstructive surgery. She was twenty-seven a the time. I was – am – appalled and enraged. It’s time we started a campaign to change this.

Thank you for sharing this information. It was interesting reading and very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it Amy!
I was just thinking about my SIL’s challenges with breast cancer. Lots of medical intervention… including cosmetic surgery which I don’t think I would have put myself through were I in her shoes. She worked in MRI for almost thirty years and says 80% of the people who worked in that building have had cancer. Draw your own conclusions from that. News From Nowhere
Wow – that’s a horrible and interesting statistic. Does anybody study this stuff?
Another great post Jianne…thanks for sharing!
Thanks Timitra – wait till you see tomorrow’s post!
