Dear Dr. Y,
How can a man boost his partner’s confidence when it comes to her breasts?
—Scott

Dear Scott,
I think that the best thing a man can do is to tell her that her breasts are perfect. This is most effectively done when he’s cupping them during sex, admiring them like they’re the only part of her body he needs to feel satisfied.

If he feels that he can’t be totally sincere with the “perfect” bit, he should seize the opportunity to compliment her chest the next time she’s wearing an outfit that shows them off, for example, “You look absolutely stunning in that dress — I love how it shows off your breasts.” In accentuating them, he’s letting her know that she’s lovely in his book.

Also, when it comes to gift-giving time, he can get her presents that are about showing off her breasts, for example, a peek-a-boo bra that screams “play with me!”

Hey ladies! If you’re going for a dental cleaning with your friendly, neighborhood dentist, and he starts fondling your breasts, trust me, this is no medical therapy!

Yet this is the excuse that Dr. Mark Anderson has given for his actions in the felony charges that he is facing in the state of California. He is charged with 19 felony charges for skin-to-skin contact and one misdemeanor for allegedly touching a patient’s breasts over her clothing. So far, fourteen women have come forward.

The attorney for the defendant told jurors that his client massaged women’s chests as part of a medical treatment. I wonder what kind of “treatment” calls for that?!

Let’s face it ― this is just another example of negligent behavior on the part of a medical professional. It is important for patients to understand that if they feel uncomfortable during a physical examination they should speak out and ask questions.

I also truly believe that a chaperone should always be present during a physical examination so that both the patient and the doctor are protected from unsubstantiated allegations.

I’m going to be following this trial because I can’t wait to see how the defending attorney is going to prove that his client’s actions were part of a medical treatment. But you know lawyers, they will give the jury “an act with lots of flash in it, and the reaction will be passionate.”

Dear Yvonne,
Could my exercising affect my bra size?
—Flora

Dear Flora,
Breasts are made up of fat tissue. If a female is very physically active or loses a lot of weight, she may lose fat from her breasts. Playing sports and exercising in moderation does not prevent breasts from growing. Losing large amounts of weight and fat nearly always results in some reduction in overall breast size, but, if done through exercise, can increase the firmness of underlying muscles which can give them a sometimes much-needed ‘lift.’
