We are not condemning women, we do not do that here and that is not what we are about. This is one of the most supporting, nurturing communities that I have found on the net.

We are sharing our stories and information about the dangers of surgical augmentation because as women who care about other women, we want to make it known what people could be getting into. I looked over this thread and I really don't see the judging that you are claiming that exists here, just people sharing information, which is one of the major purposes of this forum, and so we will continue to do so. In fact I see some real sympathy here for some of the horrendous things some women have experienced.

People here like everyone else has their personal opinion about breast implants and whether it is something for them or not, they are entitled to that. Actually, if you had taken the time to go over all of the replies, you'd notice that many admitted to understanding why women turn to implants, but the fact is how "sexy" can you feel with your implant leaking or deflated inside of your body?

If you really thought about it, then why would any of us be here if we never had a problem with the way our breasts look? That's obviously not the case, but it is very easy for you to ask for understanding while not having to do so yourself. We are not "anti-beast implant" here so much as we are "anti-harm to women" just as some of use are vehemently against some herbs which we feel are dangerous to women's' bodies.

By the way caseyerinn, feeling sexy in your skin doesn't always require that you must look somewhere outside of yourself...just sayin.
