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

    We are a stupid neural network trained to detect fertile partners of a specific sex. Ever wondered why so many girls try to oversaturate, say, their naturally ever so slightly brighter lip color? Everything mass beauty industry does is taking male/female characteristics and dialing them up to eleven.

    All to make our mating radar detect the gender from as many yards away as possible.

    Being animals sucks. =/

    I try to avoid paying them any attention unless someone wants me to look at or touch them thanks to the implication. Most of the time it’s just a place where I shouldn’t look, so it gets a little awkward in my head when someone has on a graphic tee that I want to read or look at.

    Something to work around most of the time, but then can make a partner happy when they are appreciated as themselves when vulnerable enough to bare that much, which adds a little special dynamic that gets the brain chemicals doing their thing.

    Boobs look like they’re drops of water, just about to drip. So there’s a certain anticipation there. Our brains are wired to predict where action and movement is going to be.

      That is the first time i’ve heard that. Not sure about it, but sounds like it could be true. Interesting nonetheless.

    Humans are the only mammals with boobs that stay “inflated” without childbirth or breastfeeding involved.

    The theory is that it’s an evolutionary selection, and the hypothesis is it’s an aesthetic choice that keeps reinforcing itself (a positive feedback loop) and now it’s HotWired in our brains.

    The way i personally see it though, just like how i like certain types of food without a proper explanation to why, i also like boobs.

    There’s also the idea it’s connected to being breastfed as a baby which brings back all those warm and safety feelings with them. That doesn’t explain why most women (I speculate) aren’t as into boobs as the average guy. That said, I’ve met multiple women, some straight,who also found boobs very fascinating. So maybe they get the same warm and safety feelings minus the sexual attraction?

      You might be on to something. I was not breast fed, and I’m not a boob person in particular.

      Now we have to wait for another anecdote from someone that was breastfed.

    They are soft, easy to grab, and they belong to an attractive person’s body at large, which makes them an amazing tactile experience overall.

    On the looks, they greatly compliment the hourglass shapes, which are very harmonious and pleasing.

    Because of biological programming. Humans are the only mammals with females that have permanent boobyliciously boobing boobies, so as per evolution it is no surprise that human males are going boinks for them. Size, shape, motion, who they be on are the mutual factors for any attractive body part, quite so also for boobs. They are cute when tight and jiggly, pretty when bouncy and cozy to feel up regardless of size, neat to catch a stolen glimpse and satisfactory to blblblblbl.

    I don’t know what kind of shocking reveal you expect.

    I don’t know why. But I like small firm boobs… Seeing their shapes through clothes is the sexiest to me.

    I remember how I thought about this before I went into puberty though. I had no interests in girls at all. And I remember wondering when that would happen.

    Then it did happen and boobs became very sexy. So I guess it’s just chemicals in our brains/body causing it.

    I’m a nan and I don’t so…

    I don’t get why boobs and asses are so interesting for some people.

    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.

    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.

    I’m not seeing a lot of mentions of nipples here. So for me, size is pretty much secondary. Nice, prominent nipples are sure to get my attention, though.
