You've got them. We want
them. Why?
I have been doing a lot of research on men's attraction
to breasts

Like most men in this world, I am fascinated with the woman's
bosom.
The subject of my fascination has different names in the English
language; breasts, boobies, mammary glands, knockers, hooters,
racks, etc. This very multiplicity of names illustrates how powerful
an effect this external organ of the female anatomy exerts on the
psyche of the male. The more important a thing is, the more nouns
a language offers to refer to it. You may know that the Arab has
many different words to describe his favorite beast of burden,
the camel.
Unlike the Freudian "penis envy", which talks about
women's alleged envy for the male appendage that they themselves
lack, men's desire for the breast is not of an envious nature.
We don't want to have swollen breast on our own bodies, rather
we desire to have (read touch) the breasts as they are on the torso
of the female.
We are first exposed to the breast at infancy for nutritional
purposes only. We are unconscious at this stage and no memory of
our experiences is carried over to adulthood. At some point in
the first or second year of life we are abruptly weaned off the
breast and told to go look for milk elsewhere. This search for
milk, known by the scientific term lacto-questus, does not end
when we switch over to solid food either. In fact, it continues
for the rest of our lives.
Of course there is a period of
latency that lasts from about the age of five until we are ready
to be
initiated into manhood. During
this period, boys generally don't think about breasts, as they
are more preoccupied with toy cars and ball games. But judging
from my own experience, pre-pubescent boys don't turn their heads
away from the sight of an exposed breast here and there either.
It is around the age of 12 or 13 that the issue of breasts reemerges
and it does so in dramatic fashion. As hormones peak in the blood
stream, an innate urge drives us towards female breasts. Our sexual
desires are not very well differentiated at this time. We don't
necessarily desire coitus with a female. We just want to have access
to her breasts at this time, more to come later.
Since puberty, I have been doing a lot of research on this issue
through getting my hands on any sort of available literature, whether
illustrated or not. I would sit for extended periods of time, reading
the text and looking at the pictures while my imagination was also
at work, trying to picture all conceivable possibilities in my
head, all in an attempt to discover the causes of this fascination.
From time to time, a family member would enter my room unannounced
and find me in this deep state of research. Their only comment
to me would be to use more light lest I eventually go blind. I
would often dismiss their comment and continue my research.
Scientists nowadays say that when a man is excited by the voluptuousness
of a woman's body, drooling over the sight of the curvatures of
her chest and buttocks and admiring her facial beauties, he is
actually assessing her suitability as a potential partner. The
propagation instinct drives the man to a woman who besides being
beautiful has a large enough hip to deliver his offspring and large
enough breasts to nourish it.
I have to admit that the results of my research have so far been
inconclusive at best. In recent years I have had to cut down on
my research activities because of advancing age and a general reduction
in my stamina. I, however, haven't completely abandoned it and
hope to some day find the answers I have been looking for.
