Can any straight man here explain what they like and why they like boobs so much? Like, what makes them attractive and why? Is it the size? Shape? Or The way they jiggle?

    The biological hypothesis is that they look like an ass on your chest. Asses are visually arousing for males for what I hope are obvious reasons.

    Firmware. It’s not a logical rational decision. Years of evolution I guess? There is embedded code in our brains that see tatas and we go ape.

    More or less an instinct I think. That is how I was able to tell I was starting puberty, that I started to imagine and want to see and touch naked breasts of the women and girls around me. I myself didn’t have an explanation why, but that was now more than half my life ago and it hasn’t stopped.

    I don’t have strong preferences as to shape and size. Small breasts are still breasts.

    Given that large areas of the world do not see breasts as sexual, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that breasts are erogenous because our society has said that they are, rather than any innate characteristic.

    When I lived in Africa, women and girls had no problem exposing their breasts, but would go to great length to keep their thighs covered.

    Honestly? I often ponder this. It’s amusing when you consider how enamored we are with bosoms.

    I’ve heard it described that “Woman is the most beautiful shape in the human consciousness.” And that stuck with me.

    My wife often catches me gawking and thinks it’s weird but I’m just like “You’re just amazing. All of you. Everything about you.” I feel like an idiot because I can’t explain what the heck I actually mean.

    It’s just hard to fathom how a single being can be so… naturally aesthetic!

    Women are just awesome. As a visual artist myself, I totally understand the compulsion to depict cute/pretty/happy/sexy ladies all the time. Heck, some artists do this exclusively. Variety is the spice of life, artists, but I get it. 😂

    I think we’re coded to enjoy rounded elegant shapes, but there’s something enchanting about femininity as a whole, and boobs and butts signal “feminine!!” to our brains.

    Also I’d say size and such really doesn’t matter. I think the really fascinating thing is the sheer variety, to the point they’re unique to the woman as an individual person. And it has nothing to do with biological essentialism! (Tiny boobs are just as good at feeding young as ginormous ones)

    It’s also a bit cultural, I think. They’re so obvious, yet hidden in polite company. So seeing them exposed feels like you have an intimate window into this person’s world, and you feel special for the privilege, I suppose.

    Lol now I feel like a weirdo, typing this all out. Does that help? LOL

    A large part of it is what part of a woman’s body is objectified by society at large. There were times it was ass. Times it was hips. Times when women had to cover their ankles. Now it’s breast, but it’s all good to me.

    i wouldn’t say i like boobs. I don’t go out of my way to look for them. for me, its about if my partner finds something pleasing during a intimate moment.

    I think it just goes back to two main things. Being breast fed as a child, you grow to depend and love on the boob, so it’s kind of baked into our genetics to some degree. Secondly the Church basically sexualized boobs and are considered taboo private parts most people aren’t supposed to see so that gives it some sort of allure that you’re seeing something your not supposed to, which in American culture is pretty much the norm. Think of how ankles were such a thing to flaunt not that long ago at all. Some cultures just outright don’t care about boobs and just let em hang out so I really just feel like it boils down to culture for most of it.

    Past all of that, and personally, a nicely resting boob is just a great sight. Something about the curves and seeing the body in its natural form idk. Also, squishy, they’re great to just have a hand on and give a good squish every now and then.
