Christmas is fetish season #6 – Bakunyuu – SYMMETRICAL DOCKING GO!
Posted on | December 22, 2008 | 7 Comments |
Sorry the post is so late this week – I never seem to be in the right place to write a post this Christmas season. I hope that all of your readers are having a successful Christmas shopping week and that there are not too many casualties ^^;;
This week we have the opposite to week 2 – Bakunyuu – the worship of the enormous lumps of fat that some women have on their chests. Funny that. I’ve covered this fetish in other posts, most notably my Fanservice guide for Animators (Appendix), So I probably won’t spend too long on the boring stuff. Instead I’ll be focussing on the advantages of having fictional breasts and the poor things that some artists will have them do – including lactation.
The Universal obsession
I remember the first time I came into contact with the whole big breast rubbish. I can’t remember exactly how old I was, but honestly, I was probably exposed to unsavoury material earlier than most (and I guess it shows -_-;;). When I could, I used to take a sneak peek at the Sunday Sport. For those of you that are Englishly-challenged, the red-top newspapers in England are the newspapers for the masses. Specifically, the male masses. The Sun set the precedent many years ago by placing a topless girl on page 3, which was quickly followed by the Star and then finally, the Sport. The Sunday sport was a paper filled with only two things, sport coverage and topless women. When they expanded it to every weekday, it was never the same. Probably because there is a set amount of breast tissue that can be shown each week and by spreading it out, you have to filter out some of the big guns in favour of the perky ones that you can find anywhere else.
Anyway. I digress.
I had a particular issue for a while because it featured one of the UK’s “bakunyuu poster girls” (to coin a term), Linsey Dawn MacKenzie. She was picked up by the topless modelling industry when she was 15 (introduced by her mother ^^) and I seem to remember there was a countdown to her 16th birthday on which they would show her topless. Gripping stuff. I even remember the subtitle underneath the picture: “People often ask me how they got so big and I tell them that it must be because my boyfriend RUBS THEM so much! Since he’s been SQUEEZING MY BUNS every day, they’ve swelled from 36DD to an amazing 36HHH!!!” Honestly, who actually gets turned on by that stuff. Hats off to Linsey though, she went into hardcore and she’s doing pretty well for herself.
And then she had breast reduction surgery. Poor boyfriend – all his work for nothing.
So it got me thinking – what is it about the huge lumps of impractial flesh that make women’s back ache that makes men’s blood boil by default? Is it simply that the media love projecting the image that bigger makes better in everything, including penis size and cup size? And it is not just the Western men that seem to have this fetish, bakunyuu – literally bursting breasts – are an extremely popular fetish in doujinshi. Even in “real life”, many Japanese “Gravure Idols” have ridiculously proportioned breasts (and probably breast augmentation).
Why love pillows?
So I might start the argument for why that chest fat is so popular by quoting one of the points I made on my Hinyuu post that bakunyuu is merely the other end of the bell curve. In other words, if we consider the normal distribution, then you would expect half the population to apreciate average and larger sized breasts. However, judging by the amount of material available, there is a definite skew which cannot be explained by the normal distribution alone.
I could again make the point that subconsciously men associate large breasts with sexual maturity. Therefore, the larger the breasts, the more likely the female hiding behind them is to be sexually active and receptive for a hot beef injection. Associated with this is what could be described as a mother homing instinct. This consists of two facets – possibly the re-seeking of the comfort of the breast from one’s youth and the choice of the large breast as having greater feeding potential for future children. (See further on when I discuss Lactation).
As the Sunday Sport would be first to attest, large breasts make sluts. In other words, there is something intrinsically lewd about women with large breasts which makes men think that they are more up for a porking than females of a more modest disposition. Psychologists have attributed this to the fact that the cleavage of the breast (especially in clothing) closely resembles the curve and cleft of the buttocks which men are instinctively attracted to (apart from the gay ones of course) for reasons of procreation. The same explanation has been given for the attraction of red lipstick (apparently resembling the labia). My own personal belief is that while this may be a factor, it is probably the social brainwashing over recent years that has irretrievably associated large breasts with looseness and small breasts with innocence (see post #2)
There are, of couse, practical reasons why breasts are useful in and around the home. They act as airbags to cushion the fall of more clumsy women (hopefully making up for the balance problem that they themselves create). Fans of paizuri (or the more Anglo-Saxon term “tit-fuck”) will attest that larger breasts make for a better experience. And finally, if you are out shopping with a particularly well-endowed girl, then in an emergency her bra makes an excellent substitute for a shopping bag.
In short, its obvious that breast size, from a purely aesthetic point of view, does matter. However, there is usually a limit to this frippery. First, the practical limit demonstrated by our Linsey earlier that large breasts do exert their toll on the back of the poor owner and many women of this size have to buy expensive bras to support their assets and may end up getting them reduced. The other is the pure insanity end of the scale like our old friend Chelsea Charms (with the Y cup bra) where the appeal is more of a comic relief than a titillation (I mean, wouldn’t you feel impotent when your penis is about 1/1000000th the size of the breasts that they are sliding between?)
But let’s take a look at the fictional side of things…
In doujinshi and hentai eromanga it is not uncommon for girls to have ridiculously disproportionate breasts, often to the Charms extent. And lo and behold, there does in fact exist a burgeoning market for such things. So is it the fact that the breasts are fictional that makes the average bra size in eromanga that much larger? What are the advantages that figments of the artists’ imagination have over the real thing?
Shaping the perfect chesticles
So perhaps the number one advantage that fictional funbags have over their real-life counterparts is that they are only limited by your imagination and not by a dodgy plastic surgeon’s knife. They can be perfectly shaped, (strange, since the artist probably hasn’t seen too many of them himself…but then again I suppose there is no shortage of topless photographs on teh interwebs.) symmetrical, do things that normal breasts can only dream of and most importantly, defy the laws of physics.
So here are a list of reasons why hourglass girls with a balance problem are No.1 in Japan
1. They’re unrealistically perfect (sometimes)
Everyone knows that breasts are handed out by a fickle god. Many are asymmetrical and nipples and areolae come in all shapes and sizes – some more appealing than others. Especially after the plastic surgeon has been at them, although they may have a great cleavage in a well supporting bra, let them hang free and the little scars and lumps tend to give the poor girls away. In fact, the larger the augmentation, the further away from the real breast shape they get (the very thought of nipple relocation surgery brings shivers down the spine)…
But draw a set of breasts in a manga and they can be perfectly symmetrical and so you can get an awesome array of size without them looking like they had once led a double life as the foothills of the Himalayas. Additionally, the girl attached to them is usually ridiculously curved like a Barbie doll (so much so sometimes that you wonder why she doesn’t snap in two from the sheer weight of her chest (see point #2). In fact, one would say that girls like this usually perfectly fulfil the MILF stereotype – seething with mature charm that can pop otaku cherries from 200 miles away.
2. They defy gravity and other laws
While most real life girls over an E cup struggle along with back pain and tender breasts, everyone knows that all anime girl breasts are in fact filled with a substance similar in consistency and weight to cotton candy. So although it looks like they defy gravity by being impossibly pert and not straining the girl behind them in the least, actually their density is only marginally greater than air.
Beware on hot days, as the filling is likely to melt. This is the reason why bras are fitted with air conditioning as standard.
3. They do impossible things
Bakunyuu breasts are more capable than real life ones in a number of ways, dependant on the perversity of the artist and his interests. Common abilities include:
- Lactation (whilst not pregnant) – It is an unspoken rule that if you squeeze a bakunyuu girl’s breasts hard enough and for long enough, then milk will come out. This appeals to the fans who have a real mother complex and also to the “more fluids is better” crowd. Obviously they’re not the ones clearing up afterwards…Also the milk tastes of cotton candy.
- Expansion – Bakunyuu breasts may be forced to expand by a number of methods. There are some that involve painful drug injections into the nipple, or one might resort to a simple magic spell to get the same effect. However, it is known that some girls’ breasts are prone to doing this of their own accord, often to hilarious and/or erotic results.
- Nipple insertion – Girls in manga have been shown to have an excess of prostaglandins in the blood which have the effect of making their orifices remarkably stretchy. This is often evidenced by their being able to take multiple items into the anus without apparent discomfort and also by the ability to insert various implements into the nipple canal. It is a common misconception that the nipple canals on these girls are in fact miniature vaginas complete with miniature wombs and ovaries. Sadly, any semen deposited in here is expelled straight back out again with the milk and does not result in a miniature pregnancy.
4. Miscellaneous
- They are useful for smothering the protagonist to death if he is annoying
- They are devoid of pain receptors and are useful as a crash mat in the event of collision incident.
- If pressed together tightly, they can be used as a receptacle for liquids such as sake or balsamic vinegar.
- If the girl falls into a large body of water they double as an impromptu flotation device.
Conclusion
And so what can we conclude from this altogether (un)serious tour through the depth of the female cleavage? First, that there probably is a predisposition to liking larger than average breasts – possibly partly inbuilt, but perhaps also contributed to by media and pornography. And second, that the disadvantages that are associated with the more impossible bra sizes are wiped away by stepping into the physicsless world of the doujinshi.
God certainly didn’t make breasts to do that. But she definitely seems to be enjoying it nonetheless ^^;;

I can already feel the pain in my back by seeing those pictures… (not only because I don’t have anything at that point ~)
Hm aren’t they also used as liquid warmer if holding them tight?
Putting that aside, I really can’t say anything besides I think everything is said, and I’m not really a fan/liker of this one. I really think that oversized busts make them look somehow creepy and they woul’d moreover scare me as actually turn me on.
Btw. in January there are comming up the 4th Maria-sama and that new maria-holik series, will you post something about them? There really wasn’t any good yuri since Shoujo Sect.
And don’t forget a pole of the things to recover ^^.

Yeah, a lot of the Bakunyuu is completely ridiculous. Still, what hentai or porn isn’t? There’s always a tone of ridiculousness, and while I don’t like the absolute extremes of this genre, I don’t mind it.
Then again, your point about big breasts being emphasised by the media is very true. That can result in unrealistic expectations, which can then result in psychological problems for some girls. Same can be said for unrealistic penis sizes too.

“But draw a set of breasts in a manga and they can be perfectly symmetrical [and perfectly shaped]…”
And yet, all too often do we find breasts the shape of pyramids, or the Gerkin (building in London for the Englishly-challenged (love that term)) and sometimes with nipples that couple spear a child’s eyeball. I ask, do people find these shapes arousing, or are the artists that removed from reality that they have no idea what they look like? Or is it me: have I just not been with enough women to see these horrific shapes?
But as we have previously concluded, I’m somewhere around the middle of that bell-curve, so it’s not really my field.
Btw, I dare you to do debusen next. The more you know.

Joku: I was not aware of Maria Holic but now I am. Honestly, I got a little bored with MariMite but I might well cover it since any yuri must be at least considered. I’ll very probably cover Maria Holic.
Akakori: I can do it next if it’s your interest! And about the different sizes, I guess some are what the artist likes so there is something for everyone if you look ^^

Oh, it really _really_ isn’t my interest. But I just wondered if covering a subject that isn’t popular might be interesting.

As a Bakunyuu lover myself. I like big breasts because I associate them with maturity mental, emotionally and sexually. If at most Bakunyuu character in anime, there’s a sense of maturity that you don’t get from there smaller breasted friends.
