I said it was a fetish item because society has turned it into one. I personally don't know about the infected nipples issue, i'll have to ask Women in 3rd world countries that can't afford to buy Bras, that one. Back pain is a condition suffered by Women with massive breasts (DD territory). I repeat, breast Cancer was not a major issue prior to the invention of the Bra. Breast Cancer is not a major issue for Women in developing countries. It's worth considering and I'm surprised it hasn't.

The purpose of a bra is to prevent sagging breasts and pain in the back, breasts, and shoulders. its not a fetish item. it actually helps your health wearing a bra. without it you can have infected nipples and terrible breast pain

If Women were meant to wear Bras, we would have evolved to have our own Natural "Bra" when we reached puberty.. I don't see female animals wearing Bras and breast cancer is not an issue for them. Bras are a fetish item, that we all succumb to, so we look pleasing to the eye, at the cost of our own personal discomfort. Try this for an experiment, constrict the blood flow to your arm for 30 years and see if you don't "develop a clot or a Tumor". The Cancer Council have known this for decades.

Ok Ladies, lets think this through. We wear bras for years and years, they constrict blood flow, they are tight uncomfortable and yet we still wear them?. Women in 3rd world countries don't wear them and they don't have breast cancer issues, neither did females before the invention of the Bra. Imagine tying up a Man's Scrotum for 30 years, if it didn't drop off, it would probably become Cancerous.. and yet we do the same thing to our breasts.
