Why are female breasts viewed as sexual when breast feeding or relaxing topless in the sun?

[laurieluvsit]

Breasts can be, and are, looked at as sexual when in a sexual encounter... but why should they be viewed as sexual when breast feeding, for example, or just relaxing and enjoying yourself while topless?

Is this the big divide within the "Top Free"/"Free The Nipple" movements and those that disagree?

Here is my theory...

1) GUYS: Most guys look at all breasts as sexual because they can't see female breasts even in a non-sexual setting without thinking of sex.

2) GIRLS: Girls don't see female breasts as sexual in non-sexual settings at all, but don't like it because they know that guys are looking at other girls breasts in a sexual way, even when not in a sexual setting, and it makes them insanely jealous.

Am I hitting the bullseye, or am I missing something here?

What do you think?#FREETHENIPPLE #TOPFREEDOM

Women take their own breasts for granted. They can hug them, squeeze and play with them all they want. And unless they are insecure about their breasts, they like how they look. Women like to look womanly and sexy.

Guys, on the other hand, are fascinated by breasts. They can't get enough. It's in our DNA. To us, breasts are soft and round and remind us of femininity. And femininity is sexy. Female bodies, in general, turn us on. I'm not talking about popping boners or getting all lewd, but still, among other things, we think of women as sexual. They have curves, soft thighs, round, fat, bouncy butt cheeks and that gap between their thighs.

Even when a woman is clothed, her breasts stick right out and lead the way. They are impossible not to notice. Unless confined in really sturdy bras, they bounce. We love the sight of cleavage and shuddering breast tops.

Unfettered breasts sway, bounce and jiggle. A nipple draws the eye as does the center of interest in a painting. It's like a cherry on an ice cream Sunday.

Since the most common time we ever get to see bare titties is during sex, bare breasts remind us of the pleasures we experience during sex.

Women who go topless should accept the fact that they are bringing joy to men's lives. It's not a big deal. Why be self conscious about it? You are beautiful. What's wrong with that? Celebrate your femininity. Be a boss.
The problem is with guys who don't know how to behave, who ogle or make comments. Those guys are shit heads. They wreck it for everybody. Fuck them.

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "a-a-a-h"
When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "a-a-a-h"

I think you might be right about the fact that some women are jealous when men look at another women. They might WISH they looked as good. Tough.
And then there are people who are just plain prudes. They have religious or other ideas about propriety. Fuck them, too.

This essay is creepy af

[laurieluvsit]

@lliam I found the first half of what you wrote quite poetic :) Thank you for sharing

[6suejsjsj]

@mistixs oh wow a women finding things "creepy" hahaha

[MrOracle]

You hit the nail on the head. The people who object to women's breasts being on display are OVERWHELMINGLY other women. And those women HATE the competition for their attention, because they are insecure.

I've seen more naked female boobs than 100-year-old breast cancer clinic, and they're still just as sexual to me now as they were when I was 12, so, no, that never goes away for men. But, largely, men aren't the ones complaining - it's women who complain. They're all for female empowerment right up until something affects THEM negatively, and then they use all the same names and behaviors that they endlessly shame others for using (whether they use them or not). It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

You keep stealing the GOLD STARS you! ... lol

During my youth, being told that swimming nude with clothed females had no sexual qualities about it yet the girls seemed too enjoy seeing and touching much more tban casual interest could explain. I often wondered later on, as this fad of nudity doubled standards started too give way too equal everything feminism, with advocates of female and male equality being the American standard too follow, if it was female sexuality being preserved by encouraging girls too reach out and feel our exposed genitalia as their right as future mom's, or ourselves, for being taught not too be ashamed of our reproductive capacity when examined nude on public display at swimming competitions and beachfronts.

[NatalieKeller95]

breasts are not sexual, society has glamorized it to that point,

honestly breasts need to be normalized and not looked at like a taboo anymore,

I see nothing wrong with being topless or breast feeding, my sister would breastfeed her son, topless with family, company around, and everyone was fine with it,

I love my breasts, I love being naked, or topless with my breasts fully out, it's not sexual, I'm comfortable with my body, and I enjoy it, and I don't do it for the pleasure of others either, I'm fully accepting of my body, not so others can get horny from me

[laurieluvsit]

Yah! :)

[6suejsjsj]

God are you ridiculous. It's a secondary sex characteristic. That means that it's bound to be sexual and this will never change, thankfully. Your view is completely insane, you want humanity to go extinct I guess. The only reason tits are so big is because of their sexual nature. You notice that other animals don't hat fat bouncing tits.

[6suejsjsj]

@laurieluvsit 🤪

[RetroReviews]

💯 Agree,

[soe11]

NatalieKeller95 It is the best answer 🙏👌 and agree with you my dear.

[MsLexiD]

I think guys see breasts as sexual in most settings for the simple reason that they themselves don't have them (breasts) - whereas women don't because, well, we do.

The whole breastfeeding thing as sexual though - not getting that at all whether you're male or female - just my opinion though...

[6suejsjsj]

Breastfeeding isn't sexual, breasts are but breastfeeding doesn't change that. I really don't understand what's so hard to understand here.

[chrissykerdock]

you can go on down the line... your mint so the girl's must hate you... and boy's love you.

[katiesmuff]

Guess I would pick D for my answer. You couldn't find pictures of normal women for your illustrations here! LOL

[laurieluvsit]

I know, you're the 2nd one to mention that... lol

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I think it's because some people don't know the difference between sexual and non-sexual exposure. Either that or the person thinks any type of nudity is sexual in general. This might be also because the US lacks in topless and nude beaches too. So to most of the people it's considered "taboo" even though it's just natural nudity. But I personally think it should be ok to breast feed in public. I mean, it's just a mom feeding her baby some food. I don't know why people think they should always drink out of a baby bottle. Sometimes a mom doesn't have time to do that and just needs to get going to wherever she's driving to.

[RickPen]

I have no issue with bre chested women, though, admittedly, I may take a glance. Women have done it with shirtless men they find attractive, so it's not a big deal there. They're a body part that has been sexualized, so changing social norms will require time. Whatever, be nude, I don't care in the end. While I may not join in the fray, I wouldn't second guess someone else doing it.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Because they are. women treat them that way (push up bra's low cut tops etc.). Also brain scans show that the same neural pathways light up in the brain for women when they play with their breasts/nipples as when they play with their genitals meaning that they are most definitley sexual from a biological standpoint.

[MCheetah]

You are basically blaming men for being heterosexual and asking why all men aren't gay/asexual just so you can go topless. That's pretty lame, if you ask me. That'd be like me complaining why all men can't just walk around, rock-out, cocks-out and complaining if a woman didn't like that. They're sexual to us REGARDLESS of the situation, unless the woman is overall unattractive looking. "Context" is irrelevant when it comes to sexuality, and I'm pretty sure this applies to women too or else the previous point I made about regarding penises would also be acceptable to most or all women.

The vote options are manipulative and one-sided, so I just went with F. But the whole thing is boobs are GREAT AND WONDERFUL, but regardless, are inappropriate for stuff like schools, churches, grocery stores, etc. They have nude beaches and nudist colonies, OP. You can just go there, no problem. Don't try to suppress/erase hetero male sexuality for silly and asinine reasons.

[DSimus]

When women stop profiting off their tits, men can stop sexualizing them.

This has now become a chicken or the egg scenario.

[Lov2PlezUgurl]

boobs are not always viewed as sexual but YOU MISSED SOMETHINGGUY THINK ABOUT SEX EVERY 2 MINUTES
and if there happens to be boobs around its gonna grab our attention it's not our fault we are just wired that way I know there's a logical explanation but I don't have time to look it up bey watch is on I gotta check out the new chicks boobs

[GoodEnoughThen]

What makes breasts hyper-sexualized is that we (Westerner/USA) never get to see them, unless in a sexuallized context. When I do see them, wherever and whenever, they can often be arousing but do not make me think of having sex. The hidden is forbidden, and that alone raises the stimulation level.

[ohshee]

Well I can't speak for other guys ,, but if a women is breast feeding. I don't look at it in a sexual way that's her time and space and she should be left alone girls who were something low cut when going out to feel good about them self is beautiful and should be left alone a girl on the beach is hot but she's there to telex and should be left alone now if any of the above invite you to a chat or engage in something deeper but when I'm with a girl and making out the first place I go are her lips the second place is her neck third are her breast and 4th her nipples and that's when it gets sexual sensual, slow soft and deep passion , and I don't know what she is feeling I can only guess by the hardness of her nipple and the swelling of it her moan and movement of body I try to make her feel all the above at the same time I love boobs and nipples and for me they are very sexual but only when it's time for them to be and not just because I think it should be it's called respect and letting that person to be who she wants ,, to feel what she wants when she want with out any road blocks or worry of her freedom in that Moment I go out of my way to make sure she feels that ,, first because I love freedom of self second I love beauty and third I respect all of the above because as an empath ,, I get to feel the happiness and feeling of I'm ok I'm safe I'm happy with no worry and that's beautiful

[godfatherfan]

I don't think breasts are looked on as sexual when feeding a baby at all. Most guys don't stare in those circumstances. But those that try and say that breasts aren't sexual are crazy. And in all other circumstances, why wouldn't they be viewed that way? How are breasts on a woman that is laying in the sun any different then when she is standing in front of us or laying on a bed? Breasts are breasts. Awesome anytime a baby isn't attached.

[Apple1996]

Breast are for babies not for men. I wish it was more normalized to breastfeed in public. I always hated trying to feed my son and people would be staring at me for no reason like they didn't even notice we were around until the moment I had to whip out my boob🙄

[TheBootyChest]

I dont think about having sex automatically if I see breasts. But yes I do get turned on by them.

[TheBootyChest]

I want to look at breasts and admire them. Yes I will masturbate to seeing them. But I am not thinking about licking or biting and then how I want to have sex with her right away. Where does this stack up with your thoughts?

[laurieluvsit]

That's not a fair question because I am answering from a female perspective. Even though I am bi, I don't look at them as sexual at all unless I am being intimate with another girl but I am well aware, as in my post, that guys are different.

[TheBootyChest]

So how do you look at breasts in general like walking down the street?

[laurieluvsit]

Same answer

[TruthBringer]

I always see breasts as a sexual thing when I see beautiful women wearing bikinis or with their breasts out. And my high libido isn't making it any less. But I'm not going to stand and stare. There must be some self discipline, especially when my girl is walking beside me. Anyway, what do you expect from all the "sexy" clothings that show cleavage. Do you think that's not to perceive the boobs as sexual and attractive?

When it comes to a mother feeding her child, that is where the sexual perception stops, at least for the majority of it. I simply think the woman is using them for what they are made for.

And when it comes to "free the nipple", it's mostly thirsty guys who support this, all for their own lust, not for the "empowerment" of women. Men like myself rather have a more conservative woman who dresses more modestly/classy/professionaly and isn't so freely showing her assets to the world. But to each their own.

[Jjpayne]

I think they are sexy to men because they are biologically so... It's something we as men don't understand but we are just attacted to them... We do so instinctively without reason... Maybe it's extra skin that we get to enjoy being pressed against our chest. But I think it's because of the milk that is produced... We are drawn to them because of offspring would be my guess...

[Jaximus-Lion]

I have said and wrote this so many times i lost counting, if you have something against a mom breastfeeding her baby then you are an idiot, NO! You are an idiot.
I have been to nudist beachs so many times and I have seen so many bare breasts young and old women without sexualizing the breasts. I don't know why a lot of guys sees it as sexual the whole time and I hope one day the ladies can get more freedom to wear and do what they wish for with no problems

[Freddy78361]

That's the billion dollar question now isn't it?

I know why I find breasts attractive.
They are an identifier that a woman is capable of breeding. Not perfect but better than going with no data and finding a peen between what you thought were 'her' legs.
They are soft.
Nipples remind me of better days.
Dudes don't have them. At least thin ones, anyway.

There's something to the argument that we like them because we can't see 'em. Most people look better clothed, tbh.

[TadCurious]

Making them taboo to see, even in non-sexual settings, has contributed to breasts being over-sexualized. It's a cultural thing that isn't very rational, but lots of cultural things are like that. I support women having the right under the law to be topless anywhere men can be topless. I also wish there were more designated places for nudists/naturists. As a weekend nudist in the summer (pre-COVID) I know how un-taboo breasts become in a setting like that, which is strictly nonsexual.

[Finchie40]

Because of girls like this that you posted lol we want to motor boat them like
Crazy lol

[BeenThereLovedIt]

You hit the nail on the head, but your pics lead me to believe that you speak only of large breasts when it's true of all sizes.
