Now I want to see a slight variation designed for old warships: when the cannonballs were running low, the crew could use these detachable bosoms to bolster their supply...
Ancient India was quite sensual, all things considered. The whole idea of covering up and protecting modesty generally spread after Islamic invasion and brutal tape and pillaging.
You can even see this through historic statues, statues of women and goddesses before 10th century were topless more often than not and then you start to see a blend of the two till 13th century and then after 13th cebtury it's mostly covered up version of women and godesses.
And historically most societies are patriarchal, India no exception. As such, did women really get a say in society if they wanted to be 'sensual' or not?
Prolonged societies where women would stay naked/or partially covered including indigenous tribes, generally had high degree of autonomy when it comes to choosing when to have intimate relations. Best case scenario is "complete freedom" , worst case scenario is "marital rape but protection from third party rape". Indian society probably was somewhere between the two.
A lot of knowledge about ancient India was oral so already not very reliable, only a fraction of knowledge was written. Added with the fact that in only a fraction of the written work survived about that period as "blasphemous" texts were burned. From the limited texts that survived such as kamasutra due to their popularity, that talks about focusing on pleasure for both genders, suggests societal focus was more on consensual pleasure than forced pleasure. Hard to definitely know, but more likely that they had some degree autonomy on when to be sensual and when not to.
A few days after my first child was born I thought I woke up with someone else's body. That was followed by almost a week of telling my husband "yeah, they might look cool but don't you fucking touch them!" Once the swelling went down the pain went away. One of those things I wasn't completely prepared for lol.
Not all maybe. Only few are carved in marble.
Again, I argued against the bolton-tits argument in general.
Of course we're discussing a piece of art (as in artificial).
A headless and armless female figure, carved in black chlorite, with legs broken and missing from above the knees. Originally a standing figure in an emphatic tribhanga pose, she wears a diaphanous lower garment with widely spaced wavy double lines kept in place with a girdle decorated with a scrolling pattern on her hips and over which an end of the lower garment flops on her right hand side. A jewelled belt encircles the girdle from which hang two tasselled ropes of pearls looped over her thighs with smaller intermediate loops lying higher up on her thighs with strings of perals meandering down her legs reflecting the movement apparent in the twisted posture of her hips. She is nude above with the exception of a pendant necklace and five ropes of pearls looped over her rounded breasts down to her waist with another string snaking down the middle between them.

Lmao
I always wonder how much of the sexuality of cultures like this was consensual across genders.

TIL they had implants in the 9th century
Ginger may enhance breast milk supply.
May I ask why you believe this is relevant?
ever seen a lactating breast?

Briefly my pregnant body was the most sexy thing this planet had ever seen.
I swear my desire for that brief window is part of natures cruel attempt to trick me to have more kids.
The entire species is built on our bodies tricking us into having kids.
I've seen many
Not all lactating breasts are bulbous or pendulous; some can be barely noticeable and still produce a sufficient supply of milk

That was so sensual and beautifully described
A lot of writers should take notes from this. Also you should write smut
This guy gets it
I'll post a few Khajuraho temples soon to show erotic art from temples
That makes me feel kinda funny. Like climbing the rope and gym class.
They should add a beak right where that necklace splits into 3. Like one of those plague mask doctors
Poor girl has the scoliosis really bad... That's probably going to need surgery or something. Sounds expensive.
Medically, the lack of the head could be the more important issue, don't you agree?
I wasn't repetitively screened in school for a lack of a head.
She's managed to clothe herself in a way, clearly the scoliosis is the bigger threat here.
Looks like Rob Leifeld drew this....females with twisted backs and huge breasts.
