The male attraction to breasts.

---

As a guy, I admit that I am highly attracted to a shapely and sizeable chest though I am rather unsure as to why guys ARE attracted to breasts.

In a literal sense, breasts are globes of flesh and mammary that are used to create milk for babies, correct? So why are men so attracted?

My theory would have to be that the attraction to breasts in men would be a inadvertant instinct to get a mate that would be able to best breast feed the baby upon concieving one, though this would be disproven by the fact that not all guys that like breasts want to have babies...

so could someone please explain?

*** WARNING TO FUNDIES: DON'T READ THIS ***Before man evolved to stand upright, our more ape-like predecessors often had a good view on one another's behinds, which were an erogenous zone near the genitals. Some anthropologists think that, as man's more recent predecessors stood erect, breasts were more in the line of sight, and became a substitute for the rear end. There is kind of a resemblance (butt crack vs. cleavage, etc.).Also, as a secondary sexual characteristic, breast are one of the most noticeable things that differentiate women from men, so that alone may make them sexually attractive.Men are also attracted to characteristics that indicate that a woman is fertile and healthy enough to nurture offspring. I don't think breast size plays a part in that, other than that an ample bosom may indicate good nutrition.Here's what Edward M. Miller, a professor of economics and finance, thinks about breasts.Here's what Lloyd Nikolas of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne thinks about breasts.

In reply to:ok whats a fundie steve - I don't wanna read it if i'm one of emIf you're a fundamentalist Christian, particularly from the Deep South of the U.S., you might find that a discussion of evolution offends your senisibilities. I would never want to ruffle anyone's feathers, so I posted a friendly warning.You're not one.

ok, hon, you didn't HAVE to tell me i wasn't one, i kinda got that - do you think i am blonde or somat????

We need a Jeff Foxworthy-like list: You know you're a fundamentalist when....

In reply to: You know you're a fundamentalist when.... you start to question if sleeping with your cousin is normal.

(Unless you're a fundamentalist Moslem from Pakistan.)

its the same reason why some people are attracted to the ass, asshole, pee, and scat, it sexual.

Yeah, pee, scat.. some people are just sick in the head.

Are you talking about scat singing or are you talking about what I think you're talking about, idiot?

well i knew what scat he was talking about - whos the idiot???

Your calling me an idiot and you dont even know what im talking about? Wow you are dumber then I thought.

I know what scatology is, and if you're saying that attraction to breasts is the same as attraction to feces, you're an idiot.So, as I asked you in another thread, what is your motivation for posting useless crap on technical threads, even if you do add "but don't listen to me" on the end? Go to a Teletubbies Web site for now, learn some stuff, come back here and read for a while, then post. Otherwise, you're just being a pain in the ass.

Big Teletubbies hug!

WOW, i listed 3 reasonable things that are similar to breasts and maybe my opinion is that scat is also similar. WTF is your problem, that I happened to list 1 wrong item, but not even wrong, its a f'ing opinion-just becuase you dont think so doesnt me it aint similar.

How's this sound: you stop posting on thread where people are seeking medical advice, and I'll leave to to post on whatever else you like. If you think breasts are attractive the way feces and urine are, that's fine.Do we have a deal?

Sure. Im glad we can settle this. Hopefully I wont need to have an argument with anyone again.

In reply to:Big Teletubbies hug! ok is that like a good hug or............erm not? and which teletubbie????
