The above pictures are from the gorgeous temples of Khajuraho, India. Khajuraho has the largest group of medieval Hindu and Jain temples, famous for their erotic sculpture. The Khajuraho temples were constructed over a span of 200 years, from 950 AD to 1150 AD. These temples are one of the most popular tourist destinations in India and have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and are considered to be one of the “seven wonders” of India.
These sculptures are undoubtedly very erotic and sensual. The medieval Hindu and Jain cultures that constructed them had a wonderful sense of how to portray the beauty of human sexuality. However, one of the things that struck me, were the uncanny resemblance these goddess sculptures had to modern women with breast implants. Just look at their roundness and firmness of their breasts. All the goddesses in these wall reliefs have their breasts shaped this way. Of course, in our time women can get breasts to look like this with the use of breast implants. But judging from these sculptures, it is pretty clear that our modern civilization was not the first society that was obsessed by perfectly shaped round breasts.

The status are cool. Breast implants, however, are not unless they look real and not ready to burst bubbles.
And by “status” I mean statues……
People do seem to have a love/hate relationship with breast implants. They certainly can look awsome if they are done right. It also appears the Hindus of another era thought the same thing!
