In my case it might be due to my brother having a playboy subscription while living at home his first two years of college. Being twelve years younger it had to have an effect on my young developing mind.😜
Woo hooo. Huge mommy breasts show health & fertility. Got them birthing hips to match 😂
I’ve also heard a different theory- that our primate ancestors who walked on all fours were only sexually interested in the hindquarters, being hunched over in that posture would have made it difficult to use the breasts as a visual signal in any case. And note that while every other mammal only develops their eponymous mammary glands when they’re needed to nurse offspring, while for us they fully develop right at puberty.
Why then are we sexually interested in breasts in the first place? Simple, once we started walking upright on two legs, the shape of the breasts and the appearance of the cleavage resembles the hindquarters that were sexually relevant all along. Long story short, having them up at eye level and fully developed is just too strong a reminder of other body-parts. To a degree where investing the resources to have the glands grow to full size prematurely even became an evolutionary advantage.
Now, I will also lend a good deal of credence to the thread’s original theory, which basically boils down to lingering positive feedback of oxytocin hits from nursing in infancy. This does make a good deal of sense.
I have read that theory as well, and it is quite plausible. However the part about pubertal development of mammary glands being premature is not quite so accurate. “Puberty” as a childhood stage of development is a relatively recent phenomenon in human history. In some indigenous cultures untouched by western mores, and in primitive human cultures, young women are/were “married” off and impregnated as soon as they reached sexual maturity and the completion of the development of mammary tissue actually happened once they were pregnant…just like our primate kin. As any woman who has delivered and nursed her babies will tell you….lots and lots of growth and development of the breasts actually occurs during pregnancy.
Who cares why?! I’m just glad they do 😜🤣
I agree! Who cares why? We are all on this site because we appreciate breasts. That’s all that matters. I don’t care if my primate ancestors appreciated them or not lol 😂
Yup, it doesnt matter what or how our ancestors got into this –
