I know this is like polling everyone’s favorite flavor of ice cream, but I’m curious what the size of choice is for your female character’s? I always describe my heroin’s in terms of cup size or bra size with 34C being the boob du jour. According to Celeb Health Mag’s website: Scarlett Johansson, Alexandra Daddario, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kaley Cuoco, Brittney Spears, and Diane Lane all fall into the 32-36C range. Can we go wrong there?
 
The ladies you cite have beautiful breasts, and they're probably typical of the modern ideal. In my stories, breasts usually fall into two categories... the smaller ones for characters who want to appear youthful, and the larger ones for characters that know how hanging, swaying breasts can inflame the lust of their partners.

I'm curious... do you have a link to that Celeb Health website?

Oh, never mind. I found it.

As a reader I would say it's less about the cup size and so much more about the description. Nothing kills a story more than, Jill’s 34C’s jiggled nicely. It's just not sexy and is often completely wrong for the character described. Like give a description, please.
 
Unless writing specifically for the fetish, specific measurements don't come into play for characters. (To say nothing of how abused of a story trope it is.)

I might show they get outsized attention from others over their body (letting readers assume what they like about why) but, even when I had specific need for addressing bra sizing (character was shopping for another character and the ill fitting underwear symbolised no female support growing up/general disinterest in standard girl expectations) I intentionally left out any numerical references.

Bra sizing (American especially) is so non-standard as to be an utter mess. No wonder most are walking around improperly sized. (if owners are misjudging, what hope does an eyeballing character have of being correct?)

Tape measure readings don't say much, if anything, about my characters so I don't use them.
 
I tend not to specify, unless it's otherwise relevant to the characterization. E.g., if she's had a few children, I might comment on how they're bigger but also saggier, and she feels a bit self-conscious about them now.

Maybe she loves smacking her partners in the face with her bigger saggier titties. 🤭😉
I’m just over here from the playground stirring things up. Honestly, I love that y'all are putting such thought into your stories. It makes them so much better.

I used cup sizes early on when I started because I thought it was expected.

Realized quickly that it wasn't just me who hated it.

I stopped using specific cup sizes ages ago and just go with descriptions that leave room for reader visualization.

As for the answer to the OP question.

My female characters come in all shapes and sizes, just like real life.

Don't have a favorite. The only thing that turns me off when it comes to breasts is overly fake ones.
 
I’ve used bra sizes on occasion, but only when there was a real need. I suspect that they’re essentially meaningless, given the fact that a large slice of society (ok, male society) has no idea what they actually mean. Is a 34D ‘nicer’ than a 38B or less so? All too often, things like ‘36C’ breasts (or an 8” willy, for that matter) merely symbolize near-perfection. More important to me is that the lovers in question like them.

One last thought. Search online for lists of the 10 most beautiful women in history. Almost every one will include Audrey Hepburn (IMO a great choice!). And Ms Hepburn was….? Right - 34A.

My personal preference is around 32 down to nearly flat, so I tend to write them in that range. I don't always use an actual cup size either, referring to breasts being baseball or softball size. Ain't nothing wrong ping-pong size either.

Measurements regarding breasts are used by clueless men for even more clueless men.
Measurements regarding cock size are used by insecure men to entertain even more insecure men.

I'd say I'm generalizing, but damned if it isn't pretty much true across the board.

I was probably too matter-of-fact in suggesting breasts could/should be defined by cup size. I too agree the description is what makes it work. This was how I described one of my beautiful character’s:
“The amazing set perched in front of his face were heavy and round on the lower half and the tops featured that ideal slope that forced the nipples beautifully upward at the confluence. And while their firmness nearly defied comprehension, they had a little natural hang as they hovered heavily over her flat stomach. The fullness created that sexy crease at the base that Cole loved. Jenna's breasts were also close enough together to create their own cleavage, even when she wasn't wearing a bra. Her large nipples complemented the size of her tits to perfection and he loved the way her nearly silver dollar sized areolas would get little bumps when she was aroused.

They were covered in bumps at the moment”

I almost never describe a woman's breasts by either a number or by a cup size unless she states that on her own. I will sometimes have a different character use the same description, but only if he or she has a believable reason to know those dimensions. Other than those two exceptions, my female character's breasts are always small, large, heavy, huge, perky, or sagging. I will have a character speculate about cup size, but that's all it is, just speculation.

I don't really have a choice of size for my characters except that many women tend to increase in breast size after having children or just because they're getting older. Otherwise, they're just how I imagine them fitting the personality of my character and that also works both ways. Some women with small breasts may be a bit insecure, while others accept how they are and reflect that in their personality. A woman with large breasts may also be self-conscious of her size and try to minimize it, while another woman may be proud of what she has and go out of her way to display her breasts as much as is socially acceptable.

It's always about the person owning the breasts, not the breasts.
 
If when you sit down to start a new story and one of the cornerstones of it is that the female character has 34C (or any other specific size to fit your fetish) tits, it screams hack writer.

The ideal size is what suits the character for the story, if it even matters at all. If you can't make your character sexy regardless of body shape, your craft needs some big-time serious honing.

Start again.
 
I'd say apple-sized boobies. Why? Well, that's what Jo and I both have. Her titties are better than mine. But I'd suggest that everyone has their opinion on this. But in literature, 34C 36G or any other chest and cup size suggests lazy writing. Be descriptive but somewhat leave it to the reader's imagination.

Hmm…ironically one of us has a character nominated for Sexiest Female Character in the Literotica 2022 Readers Choice Awards and I don’t believe it’s you, so I’m going to assume my “honing” is just fine. Thank you.

I would rather read a story that describes a womans breasts in words vs cup size. 36C doesn't mean anything more than they are "average?"
 
Gee in real life I prefer women with what most men here on lit would call small tits. Mainly I just say she has some and that they fit perfectly with her body.

If they fit you hand without bulging out through your fingers they a probably just right.

Most of the women I went out with had 32A to 34B for you size freaks. Otherwise they fit perfectly in my hand which isn't enormous. I did have one girlfriend who had tits that were bigger than my hand, but I wasn't in love with her tits I was in love with her. Oh they were 36C. So average.

And like the old saying goes, "Anything more than a mouth full is just wasted."

Besides anything larger than a D cup usually means she will have back problems as she get older.
 
There is no perfect breast size. That's the daftest notion I can think of; it's like saying you can only ever have one body type in a story, or only xxxx coloured hair.

Anyway, variety is the spice of life, and provided the hand fits, how is there ever a problem?
 
As a reader I have no idea how big your character's breasts are or what they look like because you've only used a foreign measurement system which I'm not familiar with.

Which is fine. As a reader I don't care about measurements, I only need to know that if I'm buying her a bra. As a writer If you wanted to show me how her body looks, how it moves, the impression it makes, you would have done that instead.

I don't think there's a perfect bra size for all characters. I do think that as a woman, your body shape and size has an impact on how you think about yourself and how you think others perceive you which impacts your actions and interactions . These will vary between people. Does Mary love her athletic body? Does she perceive herself as strong and fit? Does she hate her boyish figure and feel men pass her by? So I'm not saying physical appearance doesn't matter, just that random measurements typically don't.

Agree on the lazy writing, but perfection is in the eye of the beholder, or at least the narrator.*

*Of late, I'm writing in the first person 😉
 
Perfect is so subjective. you can poll 100 people and get 99 different answers

I will reference cup sizes, but not measurements. But, I don't give up front character descriptions, so when I do use them, I weave that info into the story somehow.
