The consensus: New boobs are worth a squeeze

Much like a bra, my coworkers and customers ended up being very supportive of my new breasts. Several strippers even requested my doctor’s information. Of course, the locker room was full of the obligatory breast comparisons. The house mom (whose breast are enhanced) and a handful of other strippers gave them a squeeze.
