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?
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. =/
Boobs
Not straight, and not a man, but I just think they’re neat! There really doesn’t need to be a “why” to attraction, sometimes your brain just sees something and goes “yes”
You get it!
Life is hard and boobs are soft.
Best answer
breast answer?
Fuck why didn’t I think of that hahaha
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
Straight male here. This response is excellent.
Hey, that means a lot. Thanks! :)
I have spent the last 12 years trying to convince my wife that I am not trying to trick her. I really do think she is that beautiful.
Gay woman
Small ones are cute and bite sized, big ones are squishy pillows. Regardless of size, they’re all soft and cute.
“Gay woman”
Isn’t that just straight woman?
Gay does not mean “likes men”
That is exactly what it means
I’m going to assume you’re being wilfully ignorant but not trying to be an ass. “Gay” is more often used of men than women, and it’s perhaps more common for people to use “lesbian” for gay women, but it just means homosexual (or sometimes more generally not heterosexual), regardless of sex or gender.
Cambridge: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same gender or sex”
Merriam-Webster: “of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex”
Oxford: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same sex”
Brittanica: “sexually or romantically attracted to someone who is the same sex”
Wiktionary: “Possessing sexual and/or romantic attraction towards people one perceives to be the same sex or gender as oneself.”
How stupid are you? What kinda rock you been under?
…no. They said “gay woman”. Not “straight woman”
English mother fucker, do you speak it?
a royale with cheese! now i want to watch pulp fiction.
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
What
Heh ?
Are you conflating gay and trans?
Everybody likes boobs. They are the first positive thing we are introduced to in life.
The inprint is strong.
*imprint
Damn. I do that all the time. Never can remember the right way around.
Imprint will always be the correct way.
“Inprint” is not a word.
Yeah, but once it’s in your head…
I do the same thing with amphibian, but at least that looks wrong written. I still say “anphibian” though. Weird, huh?
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 think there’s a similar attraction to all erogenous areas, but due to cultural reasons breasts are ones that are always covered and their uncovering signals intimacy.
Favoring big breasts is mostly a cultural thing with some links to biological instincts that I wouldn’t give much weight to.
“Jiggling” transfers information about their structure and your brain can create a model on their “feel” without touching.
Of the erogenous zones, breasts are the ones you can see most often. It may be different in the US, but where I grew up, topless sunbathing is quite a thing and I even saw a lot of boobs in shower soap commercials at 6pm on public TV as a kid. When my kids were babies, my (now ex-) wife would also just nurse them on a park bench - which also I isn’t unusual.
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?
id like to know the genetic trait that causes some boobs to be big and some to be small…if it was for aesthetics why wouldn’t they all be one uniform size or very close?
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.
I was not breastfed as well (as couldn’t even digest my mother’s milk), still I like boobs very much. I find them very beautiful - and also like different forms and sizes.
I only don’t like boobs with silicone implants, they’re not soft and cuddly.
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 complement the hourglass shapes, which are very harmonious and pleasing.
It’s not complicated. If you’re straight, secondary sex characteristics differentiate the opposite sex for you. This is also why men like wide asses–widening of the hips for women is a secondary sex trait.
Women also exhibit this attraction. Conventionally attractive men have square jaws due to more muscle produced from testosterone. They also tend to have facial hair and more muscle definition, all of which are secondary sex traits from testosterone production. Increased height is also an indicator.
I’m not a scientist. But it seems we’re coded to find sexually mature people attractive and those signifiers tend to be secondary sex traits.
Cuz boobs
I don’t know, probably for the same reason others like other things. Chemical reactions, probably?
It can’t be explained directly, by itself. They’re part of a bigger picture.
Straight men are attracted to women on the whole - legs, arms, waist, face, chest, back, it’s all good. Whatever force it is that makes us attracted to women, it’s not something that we chose or decided. We just do.
Since boobs are a sign of femininity, they’re attractive to us on exactly that level! They fit into our idea of what women look like.
Edited: Made my reply at root level instead of piggybacking yours with a ton of paragraphs. :p
