Breast Cancer (on topic)

Breast cancer is, as we all know, one of the biggest killers of women. Yet the reason why it's so deadly is that it's not caught sufficiently early. The earlier it's detected; the greater the chance of survival.

What frustrates me is, why are millions of women dying of this disease each year? Why is it being discovered too late in many instances? We're told to examine our breasts each month, which is sound advice, but doesn't this strike you as odd? Why are women having to be told to essentially touch their own breasts on a regular basis? Surely our breasts play a vital part in our personal sexual pleasure and therefore presumably we'd be touching them (at least) every time we masturbated? [Frequently it is not the woman herself who detects the lump, but her partner whom discovers it whilst fondling her breasts during foreplay; which also implies that he touches her breasts and therefore knows them better than she does!]

Yet obviously many of us don't. I think this stems from the religious notion that our bodies are sinful and dirty, and therefore we shouldn't touch them; an insidious belief that still permeates society.

But this legacy is killing us!

Let's start enjoying our breasts - let's overcome our reluctance in touching them and make it a part of our masturbation sessions. We may even have better orgasms as a result - I have super sensitive nipples and twiddling them is a huge turn on. If we get to know how our breasts feel, then if anything changes we'll catch it early on, and by doing so we stand a much better chance of surviving.

Let's stop dying of this dreadful disease!
