Health Magazine News. 89 per cent of men would rather women kept small breasts than invest in a larger, plastic pair according to new survey results announced today.

The number of women booking themselves in for breast enlargements has soared by 275 per cent since 2002, so heat magazine commissioned a nationwide survey of over 2,000 men to discover what men really think when it comes to boobs.

Womaniser Russell Brand, who took part in the survey, told heat: “I prefer natural, to tell you the truth. In my thoroughly researched and valid academic view, they look amazing: the symmetry, the softness, the roundness...it’s the touch too.”

87% of men said bigger wasn’t neccessarily always better and almost all of those asked thought breasts should be ‘in proportion to the rest of the body’.

Almost half (43%) admitted they had felt a fake pair. Of those, 60% said they liked the feel of them, describing them as ‘firm and hard’. Not all agreed though, “They feel like weird globules of gel – they’re too hard”, moaned Dennis, a 25-year-old scaffolder from Guildford.

T4 presenter, Steve Jones, who dated Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, commented: “If you want to know what implants are like, push your calf muscle against your leg. That’s what fake t*ts feel like.” He added, “I find implants very sexy.”

The number of female celebrities going under the knife has also increased. Pamela Anderson was followed by modern day tabloid favourites such as Jordan and kiss ‘n’ tell queen Alicia Douvall who has now undergone over 13 operations. Of those surveyed, 76 per cent of men said they thought Victoria Beckham’s breasts ‘looked fake’ and ‘don’t suit her’. “They look ridiculous, like tennis balls”, said Andy, 26, from Sheffield.

Most of those men questioned had something to say about the ‘type’ of girl they thought would get a boob job. 60 per cent said they considered a girl who has under gone breast augmentation to be ‘insecure’ or ‘vain’. Richard, 20, from Manchester admitted, “I would think she’s been more sexually active than a girl with natural breasts.”

29 per cent of respondents said they thought padded bras could be considered ‘false advertising’!
