Do you think the motivation behind the beauty trend of lip implants/injections is the idea that women with exceptionally large lips are

likely to be especially gifted in certain "romantic" (cough, cough) activities? 


**Inspired by Element's "suck" question.**

    No I think it has something to do with getting a better seal when they smoke joints. Cheers!

    I think it's just considered sexy looking. I don't get it but I don't have to.  I'm happy with my thin lips.

    Yes, I was wondering if that was why it's considered sexy looking. 

    I know it hasn't always been the case. I remember someone saying something extremely derogatory about fuller lips when I was young. I remember wishing my lips were less full when I was 12 or 13, which is funny because by today's standards, they certainly aren't full.

      I went through the same thing as a youngster; being bullied and/made fun of by other kids because of the appearance of my full lips. It started from the time I first began school at age four or five, and it continued at least up to junior high school. What made it worse was that 95% of the tormentors were always other Black kids just like me. 
      Fate and/or karma did make up for it, however: right about the time I began to notice girls and they began to notice me, my full lips were one of my features that caught their attention, and once I began to engage in romantic or sensual or sexual kissing, my lips have proven to be a true asset. Lastly, when it comes to their lips, I’ve always been more attracted to women whose lips are naturally fuller than others, thin lips barely catch my eye.  That doesn’t mean I’d turn her away, it’s just not my top preference. The act of kissing is of course enhanced when both partners are better endowed in that area. 

      All of that being stated, it’s only a woman’s natural lips that I like, be they full or thin. Botox or any other cosmetic increases in size are an immediate and automatic turn-off to me.

    Kids can be cruel. I was never an instigator, but I remember joining in a few times, lest I become a target myself. I can remember crying over it a few times, feeling horrible about doing it. 

    My first real kiss was with a guy who has very generous lips. We had many more kisses over the next several years... good times!

    Nope.
    It's just a fashion boosted by some clever marketing by cosmeticians.

    Bigger lips = more lipstick purchases? You might be right.

      Nope, I think it’s more along the lines of assuming that “bigger” equals “better”, as in eyes, eyelashes, breasts, nipples, genitals, and butts. I can certainly see how some people might intuitively make the connection between the act and the trend, with the former inspiring the latter.

    :(

    Interesting. 

    I think my presumption about this probably comes from hearing the term D.S.L.

      Black people blush, you know, it just doesn’t show as much.

      I know, I know.  I'm just trying to deflect from your debauchery as much as possible.  I thought this was a family show! Get thee to a nunnery, o vile one.
