Yet, once again, we see that culture amplifies, aestheticizes, and complicates this blueprint—especially for women. The question is whether breasts are attractive when and because they are covered, as the cultural constructionists claim, or covered because they are inherently attractive, as evolutionary science. There are a few ideas out there about why men find breasts attractive For one, breasts develop during puberty, so a women with prominent breasts means i am of age to reproduce. in many other primates, breasts only swell during fertile periods, so there might be a larger breasts = more fertile association in the male mind Some also theorize that the cleavage formed by large breasts. Hence, breasts are considered secondary sexual characteristics in humans, and some scientists believe that this may be the reason we are attracted to them, as they play a role in sending signals about health and bonding
Several theories attempt to explain this: In many species, sexual selection pressures lead to the evolution of traits that are attractive to the opposite sex Breasts, particularly in certain shapes or sizes, may be seen as such a trait in human sexual selection. Men who grew up seeing uncovered breasts were just as sexually attracted to them as younger men raised in a culture of breast covering Both age groups frequently touched breasts during sex and felt arousal when seeing them Interestingly, while breasts sparked desire, they weren’t considered the most important factor in attraction.
