Why are men so obsessed with boobs?

I just can’t understand it. Genitals and butt I can get because that’s where reproduction happens but breasts are just bundles of fat, breast tissue and milk ducts. Why are they so attractive to men and bi/gay women too? Is it the nipples? That I can sort of get since they are connected too arousal but the fatty parts I’m lost honestly.

    Ladies, let’s talk about boobs. Breast, jugs, melons, the puppies, the girls, lady lumps – whatever you want to call them, there’s no denying that the biggest fans of boobs are our male counterparts. But why? Why are fellas so obsessed with this certain part of the female physique?

    If you’ve ever wondered what the attraction is when you’ve caught your other half mesmerized by your cleavage, fear not women because two men have attempted to explain why men love boobs so much. We have a feeling this will be interesting…

    Larry Young and Brian Alexander are two men who have recently released a book entitled The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex and the Science of Attraction. In this book the two men have intricately dissected all the emotional, biological and cultural elements behind the real reason men are so attracted to our boobs.

    The authors firmly believe that straight men are obsessed by women’s boobs simply because of a hormone released during nursing, which helps to make that powerful bond between mother and child. They believe that men who were breastfed as children then grow up with an evolutionary drive for a strong nurturing bond with their female partners.

    Our eyes are up here boys: there are many reasons why men are so obsessed with boobs.

    Writing in a column for The Huffington Post, Larry Young, who is an expert in the area of the neuroscience of social bonding, explained that “biologically speaking” the male obsession with breasts is “pretty weird.”

    “Boys don’t learn on the playground that breasts are something that they should be interested in. It’s biological and deeply engrained in our brain,” write Young and Alexander in their book.

    “In fact, research indicates that when we’re confronted with breasts, or even breast-related stimuli, like bras, we’ll start making bad decisions (and not just to eat at Hooters),” they added.

    Apparently, men are attracted to breasts on a biological level because a good, full cleavage indicates to a man that a woman is in good health and an excellent choice to bear and raise his children. But the authors believe that the male attraction to a pair of boobs goes beyond this and develops during their childhood.

    When a mother breastfeeds her child, the infant becomes the most important thing in the world and all her attention is focussed on the baby. The bonding chemical Oxytocin is also released into the mother’s breast milk and consumed by the baby.

    This makes nursing a feel-good experience for mother and child and it forges a very important bond between the two.

    Breasts subconsciously remind a man of the bond between mother and child.

    “This bond is not only the most beautiful of all social bonds, it can also be the most enduring, lasting a lifetime,” wrote the authors.

    Essentially then, when a man sees, touches or massages a woman’s breasts, it sparks the same series of brain events as nursing – the feel good chemical is released in the man’s brain and he is drawn to the breasts because subconsciously he remembers the feel-good experience of nursing as a child. Any interaction between a man and a pair of boobs then helps to bond a man to his female other half.

    It sounds weird, but it’s all true. So ladies the next time you catch your man having a sneaky glance at your boobs, just remember, it’s an evolutionary urge and he can’t really help it.

  • Simple and complex answers:

    Simple... Because they are there, fun to play with, and most women like them being caressed and sucked.

    Complex... Basic biology has the Male wanting to procreate to continue his genes. The most common intercourse position in mammals is doggy, and that was human's common position eons ago, before man learned to stand. Breasts and cleavage look like the female rear during doggy, so deep down the guy sees a woman's breasts and that subconsciously reminds him of sex. This from a Discovery channel documentary.

    • Thanks for the mho

  • Your kidding right?

    I am surprised that nobody has gotten this one.

    What are boobs meant for to start with?

    It is an instinctive built in biological desire for humans, both male and female to want to breast feed from the very second they are born.

    Breasts through breast feeding is the greatest intimate bonding tool for every mother to have with her new born child.

    A human is born with an instinctive love for boobs, which in most cases is a life long adoration... hello? ... lol

    Am I in heaven? ... lol

    • Wow that has to be one of the most beautiful answers i have ever seen regarding breasts...

  • I think you're selling a lot of us women short. We love boobs too 😆

    • I am so glad you said that. Have seen women hide their eyes for years, and they didn't fool me!

    • Haha that’s true I did imply at the end of the question but I should have been more specific.

    • @PositiveNote yeah no, I've not been able to successfully hide my eyes lol. @StormMistress I gotcha. In general it does seem men are far more attracted to them than we are, and in a different way. Like, I see boobs and I wanna hug em. Men will see boobs and effectively want to play with them in every way imaginable to the point where they tend to forget the small detail that THEY'RE ATTATCHED

  • Men like things that they don't have when it comes to women. Other examples are the hour glass figure, different hair styles, and softer skin.

  • Since when did reproduction happen via the buttocks?

    • This woman most likely typed too fast and forgot the micro details if her message. But yea, back to your question. Ever heard of objectophilia? Sexual atraction to non living matter, the belief that objects have souls. There might be people who like to help give birth to real life hanky the Christmas poo from south park. Anal creampie followed by hard shit, gives birth to mutual shit, thats seen as life only by objectophiles.

  • Cus its hidden and not everywhere, check tribes where they nakes no ones obsessive over boobs there

  • They're exclusively female-only body parts and remind us of women and femininity. It's the same reasons women like beards.

  • Tough to say, I guess it's just natural. I'm not really obsessed over the size but you can't beat a nice perky pair of boobies. Aside from the sexual aspect and visual attractiveness, nothing beats getting a good sleep with your head buried between them

  • Why are women so obsessed with height? Height has even less to do with sex than boobs do

    • Height is less sexual and more instinctual comfort. Like a person bigger than you will be able to protect you.

    • Why can't boobs be instinctual? We all know they don't literally make a woman a woman, but what can I say they are good at conveying femininity. Kind of works for long hair too. Geiss I don't have some philosophical meaning to attach to those things other than they are feminine and catch my eye. Then again I don't really by into the big guy protect me better philosophy either, it's 2021 no need to have a guy protect you, it may comfort you but it sounds silly to me, just like boobs mean nothing to you but I like them.

    • Oh I know but I’m the type who just loves a guy who will care and protect you if need be. Regardless of whether I actually need it or not. I’m a shy anxious and submissive person by nature and having someone who will shield me from the cruelties of others just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside I guess.

  • I think it's because they're seen as sexual and that alone makes them more appealing, although it's not the case for everything.

  • 1… we spend tons of time touching these and sucking on them… that initial skinships with tits. Nothing more comforting.




    2… got milk?

  • I like what Sirenboobzilla said! Guys like to look at other guys great pecks, too! Admiration doesn't have to be gay!

    First of all, boobs are literally in the forefront of the the body where they project an image! Shoot, it's a lot easier to see boobs first than shape of nose and color of eyes!

  • "Attention, funbag patrol, double bogies, 11 o'clock. Christ... You think she bought those? I don't think so. I think those are homegrown. Just an opinion."
    - Art Ridzik, Red Heat

  • Because they are so beautiful and sexy and shaped so amazingly and the are so, so soft and delicate. They are eye candy... just like legs and curves and butts and all the rest.

  • Boobs are cute and bouncy with some squish. I personally think ass is gross, but that's just me.

  • Breast size is a 'mute' point for me, never have understood that as being a 'must' for a lot of men. I do like large or long nipples, as they are nice to suck, and get hard, and then blow on them softly, but breast size is irrelevant.

  • Instinct. I think. Loving boobs is in male DNA.

  • To be honest, I don't give a damn why I love boobs : it's just the way I feel about them, and no harm done to anyone. Probably something to do with childhood and the symbolic reminder of the female behind. Up to shrinks to analyse, and whatever the answers, they will not change my mood about them breasts, big or small ;0)

  • It's preprogrammed into our brains because breasts is nourishment for children, ergo a woman with nice breasts is likely healthy and a good mate for reproduction.

  • Has to do with a woman's fertility.

    Men are attracted to young, fertile women.

    That's the short answer.

  • That's the way we're wired. Thousands of years ago when we were still walking on all 4's, your ass was your most prominent sexually attractive feature and that's what we were attracted to but, once we learned to walk upright, we weren't cheek to cheek with your ass anymore so, nature decided to give you tits to attract us. They DO look like ass cheeks if presented the right way!

  • I like to SQUEEZE em !!!

  • Nature, it's not like we randomly chose one day to be attracted to them, it's a biological response in order to keep people breeding. Why do some many girls ask this stupid question? It's like asking "why are humans enticed by food? It's just carbon"
