The notion that breast size increases after marriage is a common myth. While no one knows the origin of this belief, it has been around for centuries. The most likely explanation for this myth is the association of marriage with conceiving a child or traditional weight gain after marriage. Both of these factors can lead to breast size changes, but they are not exclusive to married individuals.
Here are the reasons why this myth might have persisted:
- Pregnancy: Pregnancy causes hormonal changes that can significantly increase breast size to prepare for breastfeeding. This change is temporary and usually reverts to pre-pregnancy size after breastfeeding.
- Weight gain: After marriage, individuals often experience weight gain due to lifestyle changes or dietary habits. Since breast tissue contains fat, weight gain can lead to an increase in breast size.
It is important to understand that breast size is primarily determined by genetics, age, and hormonal fluctuations, not marital status. Sexual activity does not affect breast size, and breast size does not impact marital happiness.
