Boob and body issues??? Don't *even* get me started!
I'm not ashamed to display my ignorance, though, so I do have a question, of sorts. I know that each pair of breasts, and even each breast, are unique, and that there are, generally speaking, no absolutes regarding "the way breasts should be." My question is, in terms of best fit, posture and health, is there an optimal positioning of the breasts? Should they ride high and proud, lower and more modest, or somewhere in between? Mid-way twixt elbow and shoulder? Does age make a difference? Would high and proud be deemed socially inappropriate for an older woman? Should they be close together? Wide apart? Should they point straight ahead? Up? Down? To the sides?
These might sound like silly questions, but I was born and raised male, so I didn't learn any of these social niceties. I could only observe the world around me, which included real people and images from all the media, including all the propaganda that's referred to as "advertising."
I'm just traveling my personal road, doing my best to discover who I am, and accept and be at peace with that.

Here are some thoughts about the matter:
What you already said, there cannot be any absolutes for fit, posture and health. Some say bras are not healthy at all and some don´t agree. It could be that the healthiest option is to wear bras that allow the breasts be as much as possible, in their natural position. But it might be just as good an option to make more modifications. Maybe bras don´t even make such a big difference to one´s health? I think it is very individual. Maybe best to do what feels right for oneself.
What comes to appropriate / inapproppriate, there are different cultures / nations / etc which define those things differently. I believe in free will, one can decide whether if to listen to what others say, or to decide by themselves what feels like the best option. I personally feel like it´s everyone´s personal choice what to wear. Be it modest or immodest (not including youngsters or other people who are insecure and influenced by ads etc)
Hope you figure things out! :)
Thanks Fairy79!
I've always been flamboyant, and it's not been an easy time getting to where I am now, so I'm not about to hide my boobs or pretend I don't have 'em. I'm proud of what little I have and I like to show 'em off.
