Highlights: The new bra in Kim Kardashian’s lingerie range, with its “daring” raised nipple detail, goes on sale on Halloween, but not, I think, because the effect she’s going for is “scary”. The sales pitch is “No matter how hot it is, you will always look cold”, but I’m not sure “cold” is the look she’s really after, either; the word “perky” has also been floated. Kim is offering you the chance to look permanently turned on, by everything. You could be ambling along with nothing on your mind but a knotty Wordle and half a to-do list, and thanks to the Skims perky bra, sprinkle random erotic charge all over everything. Would this make your day better, or worse? Hard to say, but definitely different.

It really bothers me that standard human anatomy is so sexualised like this. Pointy nipples are not a sign you're turned on.

All this equivalency does is invite harrassment and gross behaviour, there is no upside.

I was going to say.

Do people think that nipples are like penises, in that regard?

But I suppose any news article like this is supposed to draw people in with sensationalism and, just.. really shitty tactics, I guess.

Not even penises are like that (even if the correlation is stronger)

A guy can be hard but not turned on and a guy can be soft while really horny

It's not 100% related

I have a penis and I can confirm it's true.

It is far more likely that those cases would be true than false however.

I've always called nipples "melon peckers". I guess that wasn't an accurate term.
