Women should not play beach volleyball unless they want to be left with sagging breasts, a top German surgeon has warned.
The summer sport is a popular pastime in Germany where women are not afraid to jump about in the sand in their bikinis - or even topless.
But plastic surgeon Dr George Khoury, 39, from Hamburg, says the increasingly popular sport has created a growing number of female clients who have come to him complaining about sagging breasts.
He warns that while the physical exertion might be good for the rest of the body, all the jumping and diving involved in beach volleyball puts a strain on women's breasts.
"Vigorous movements and vibrations stretch the tissue around the breasts, which can lead to permanent sagginess," warned Dr Khoury.
He added: "The female breasts, even small ones, were not made for swinging up and down 300 times within a short period of time, as happens in beach volleyball."
Dr Khoury added that if those addicted to the sport really did not want to give it up they could limit the harm to their breasts by playing less and wearing a sports bra.
As well as women the top surgeon said that men should not think they are free from risk and should remember to wear tight trunks in order to protect their testicles.
"A similar thing can happen to male genitalia. Men should also wear tight pants to stop their testicles sagging too far," he said.
That's not the only reason geezers should wear pants! LOL!
"Men should also wear tight pants to stop their testicles sagging too far," he said."
Well I'll be. . . That sure explains a lot.
alright, now you KNOW you were titillated to post this from the elizabeth book topless thread!!! you've gone a boob too far, here, dude!
the images in my head are driving me MAD.
Hmmmm, you'd think a plastic surgeon would be encouraging this, more clients for him!
Whoa!! No sag now. My testicles are hiding up next to my spleen now.
LOL! ;)
Why didn't you ping me... You know how I love sagging boob threads!!!
;-)
LOL!!!
I've always wondered how painful it must at the end of the day to have to play volleyball with sandpaper in your bathing suit?
OK, How is playing beach volleyball more of an "up-and-down" action than jogging?
Its really that they don't wear the proper equipment.
I was going to make some joke about asking for pitures, but someone posted that awful thomas picture and now I've lost my will to open my eyes......
Do you think we should stop our topless trampoline jumping? ;-)
Woo-Hoo!
no.
Did it mention going deaf from being slapped on both ears simultaneously?
Naw...take a walk on the wild side! ;)
