Presuming you want to do this on purpose, stretching the holes in pierced ears is called "gauging." The skin of your lobes is resilient, and can be gradually stretched using increasingly larger gauges, making the hole bigger slowly. It's something you want a professional to assist with, since you don't want to tear your lobes or cause scarring that misshapes the lobe.
the ear lope is tissue and the long use of heavy weight earrings can stretch your lopes low along with your holes
The ear lobe is essentially nothing more than a little bit of tissue and fat. So as with all things related to gravity, if the lobe becomes weighed down, it will stretch or drop. In regards to dangle earrings, excessive use leads to the ear lobe leads to the tissue being stretched out and the lobs stretching.
It is not and was not taboo. Men often wore earrings in those days.

Yes, they technically will, depending on the faux plug that you get. Some Faux plugs are actually bigger than the mm of regular earrings. So yes, in a way faux plugs will stretch your ear lobes, will they stretch them any size that will prevent you from still having normal ear lobes? No, most faux plugs, if they are larger than a regular mm piercing, are less than 14g.

Hoop earrings can get in the way sometimes and make your ear lobes itch but they are pretty. Regular dangling earrings feel like a tiny little thing is in your ear but its painless.
