okay... I REALLY don't want to sound strange of shallow, but I wonder if being well endowed is a hinderance when you play the Theremin. I gots none, so i don't know....

Okay - I know that was random... lol

I imagine that having a higher centre of gravity might make it more difficult to maintain a steady stance.

I imagine higher mass will affect the response of a theremin just as stepping closer to the antennas would (stretching out the notes).

I would assume the effect is the same whether from female endowmment or an extended male belly.

Most people would negate the effect by "tuning" the pitch response.
