Marilyn Monroe slept in a bra to keep her assets firm and perky, according to Hollywood lore. A new study out of France suggests it might have been more effective for the screen goddess to go "au naturel" instead.
Researchers spent 15 years studying the breasts of over 330 French women, and concluded that wearing a bra does not prevent sagging or ease back pain as commonly thought. "Medically, physiologically, anatomically—breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity, Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, from the University of Besançon, told France Info Radio. "On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."

I do massage therapy as a hobby. I specialize in lymphatic drainage massage and cellulite reduction massage.
The lymph system consists of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and organs. The primary jobs of the lymphatic system are to isolate and fight infections, absorb excess fluid, fat and debris from our bodies.
The lymph fluid runs throughout the entire body, and acts as the dumping ground for each and every cell to dispose of its metabolic waste from the burning off of fuel and energy, as well as the elimination of bacteria and viruses.
As these materials build up in the lymph system, it may become congested or blocked. Because the lymph system cleanses our entire body, symptoms of a blocked system can manifest in many ways from frequent cold and infections to joint pain.
The lymph system has no means of circulation. Unlike the blood system which has the heart to pump and circulate it throughout the body, the only means of lymph fluid circulation is from the body's movements such as exercise and deep diaphragmic breathing.
Now back to breasts. A woman's breast has no muscles, so it really requires a manual massage to keep the lymph fluids flowing. Bras, especially wire bras, cut off the natural lymphatic fluid flow.
I will help fund a study that says they need more fresh air.
Who’s with me?
Alas....they don't heave..not even a little bit.
But I have brains.
I hate when I take off my shirt. All these dudes around me making slurping and sucking sounds with their mouth and groping movements with their hands. I told grandpa to knock it off.
Hey, man, whatever reasons you can think up. You get to massage boobies. What a great job. :-D
A few pictures would be appreciated too.

And there’s a breast cancer connection, one would suspect.
