Tweet Gwen Jacobs, a citizen of Guelph, unknowingly spearheaded a movement that would change Ontario legislation addressing everyday sexism and double standards that prevail for women. In the summer of , Jacobs removed her top to cool off on a sweltering day, proceeding to be arrested and charged for public indecency, even though men situated around her were topless as well. In , Gwen Jacobs was granted an appeal, allowing all women residing in Ontario the legal right to expose their breasts in public. Many question why women choose not to go topless despite this advancement in the law. Even though legally women are allowed to do so, culturally, they may feel it is inappropriate. Men can go shirtless just about anywhere, and no one would give a second thought. On the contrary, as a woman, I would not feel comfortable topless in public. This reluctance may stem from fear of criticism by society at large, being sexualized by others, and harassed by some, particularly men. This, in turn, has influenced many social media platforms, which dictates what women are, and are not, allowed to post.

Potential reason No. 1 for breast pain: Cyclical breast pain
By Vicki MacLean, N. Tingling, burning, zinging, tender — these are just some of the words my patients use to describe breast pain, a common condition in women of all ages. By the time they come to see me in my Melrose office, most women have had breast pain for a month or two. They may have seen their primary care doctors and not gotten help for the problem. And they may be concerned that their pain is a sign of something serious, like breast cancer. But let me reassure you: Breast pain is rarely associated with breast cancer. One of the most common causes of breast pain is changes in your hormone levels. This is cyclical mastalgia, or cyclical breast pain. This type of breast pain can be harder to diagnose. It could be related to the structure of your breasts, particularly if you have heavy or large breasts.
No more breast stress: What you need to know about breast pain
Home » Nipple play: Make your nipples the centre of attention. Nipples are one of those areas of the body that everyone has. A bit like bums, nipples are universal regardless of your gender or lack there of they are also an erogenous zone which means they are extra sensitive to stimulation which may well result in a sexual response. I write may because like so many things when it comes to bodies we are all different and some peoples nipples are very sensitive and reactive to stimulation and others are not. However like a lot of body parts it can be really easy to forget about them when it comes to sexual pleasure or give them a quick visit on the way to other areas rather than making them the main focus but that could mean you are missing out on some exciting stuff especially when you consider that some people can orgasm from nipple play alone or at least get very close to it. The fine hairs that cover the skin surrounding the nipples and the type of nerve cells present in the nipples themselves make them very sensitive and responsive to temperate which is why on a very cold day your nipples will often be erect and when you take your clothes off the skin will often pucker and tighten in response to the subtle temperate change. So why not use that to your advantage and get experimenting with hot and cold sensations. When it comes to cold all you need is a little glass of ice cubes to hand. When it comes to warmer stimulation how about trying some wax play?
What a bloody wonderful surprise to check my Twitter one day and come across this absolute beaut:. Firstly, thank you so much! Secondly, I feel like a bloody fraud. That Tweet and award came at the best possible time for me. I was in the midst of a bloggy-crisis, I think. It was one that I most definitely needed to read. You beautiful, beautiful person, you! I prefer that house. Same white leather couch though, with the same black throw to stop my bare legs from making contact with the cold material. I hate that, especially on a freezing winter morning.
