Why are boobs so taboo?

Throughout history boobs have been considered taboo, they’re honestly nothing different aside from mens boobies. Sure they produce breast milk when pregnant but there’s no difference, I don’t believe any man or official should have control over women’s bodies.

  • First, yours are magnificent! I had to get that out of the way. :-)

    Some people (not all) think tits, and especially, nipples, should be taboo. I disagree. Plus, that's not necessarily the law everywhere. But it's true that many people would be SHOCKED by the sight of bare boobs. LOL And, unfortunately, nipples seem to be taboo in media and social media for some reason. I don't get it. I guess they feel that underage children would be traumatized by the sight boobies. "Protect the children!" LOL How absurd. What could be more calming and wholesome than the sight of boobies? But it's okay for those same children to be subjected to images of violence and death.

    Sexualizing tits makes boys even more desperate to enjoy them and perpetuates the problem of objectifying women.

    The thing is, men's chests are pretty unremarkable. But women's tits are noticeable. They stick out and have a lovely shape. (Okay, some aren't lovely). Women's nipples look like tempting candies perched on the pointed tips. In contrast to men, many women's nipples are prominent and some areolas are large. Tits jiggle, bounce and sway. They are silky smooth, soft and tender. So there is a big difference between men's and women's chests.

    Both men and women admire the sight of nice breasts. But men long to feel them, give them a bounce and a squeeze. Men are drawn to nipples like moths to a flame.

    Tits are uniquely feminine. When men think of feminine, they think of sex.

    Women cross their arms beneath their breasts and cuddle them often. When a man has the opportunity to stand behind or next to a woman and cradle her breasts in the same way it's 1000 times better than holding a warm kitten. Women take their own breasts rather for granted. But a man finds them fascinating and gets endless pleasure from touching and squeezing their warm, silky-smooth softness with his hands, or gathering them up in his arms. A man can lay his cheek upon their rolly polly softness or press his face deep into them. It feels like being nurtured. Or a woman can dangle them above him for a view of their ultimate shape and mobility. And, if they are large enough, tittie fucking - actual sex with them - is an option.

    Not to mention the fact that tits, not just the nipples, are erogenous. A girlfriend once told me that tittie play and nipple stimulation went straight to her pussy.

    So even though I oppose laws and restrictions on the sight of boobs, I do understand why they are erotic. They're erotic to me. That's why I love the sight. It cheers me up. It's like sunshine on a cloudy day. I would never be creepy or touch a woman without her consent, though. I think women should have the freedom to dress as they wish.

    • I respect the amount of honesty, good vocabulary, patience and courage it took to write all this 💯💯💯 i also couldnt have said it any better

    • @big_ben_007. Thank you, sir.

    • Yes oh my goodness I completely agree. “Can you believe this disgusting WAP video?” And at the same time, “oh it’s alright that shooting game makes him happy.” You can’t have it both ways.

  • I agree completely and definitely support it with both hands ;)

    • Protect this man at all costs

    • You'd NEED both hands to support those in the pic, too!

  • In my opinion breasts have become sexualized instead of taught they are a way to feed and nurture babies, but I also think that America is so repressed in sexuality that even legs are considered sexual lol. When it comes to violence though anything goes. Nothing is TOO taboo about that, because American's love violence more than anything. They were taught that way. In foreign countries like Germany you can watch commercials of dance clubs and women are dancing with their shirts off and not a single person is messing with them.

    So in my opinion I think that the repression of sexuality and lack of education on what they are used for attributes to them being taboo. They aren't inherently, but if you teach big toes are sexy and a part of sex, Americans will ban them as well lol.

  • I don't know... ask a GAG Moderator... lol

  • They're sexual organs. That's the big whoop about them. They're display items to lure partners who prefer them one way or the other... We are the only mammal who have them up front to show them off visually.

    Other mammals don't even have visual mammary glands until AFTER the birth of offspring. We display ours ALL THE TIME. So they are for attraction more than for feeding infants.

    So, keeping them slightly veiled is important. Don't want to detract from the attractant!

  • Who said boobs were tahoo? Nice rack by the way, were you trying to make some greater piont her... or was I supposed to see past the amazing boobs.

  • I'd love to be able to go topless the majority of the time. They are just tits and everyone knows I have them, with the perverts we talk about visualizing in their mind what they look like anyway!

    • Hey, we’re not perverts. We just want to see what God made.

    • If most women were to go topless, it would be common enough that it would not be such a big deal. Guys would still enjoy seeing them, but they would not become such dogs about it. But if it were legal to be topless everywhere, most women probably would not, at least in the US, but at least you could do it when you wanted to.

  • I think it’s mainly in certain countries

    Some are really not bothered overly about them.

    yes sitting in pub or cafe with boobs out when not feeding is frowned upon, however beach etc it’s fine.

    i think it’s a lot to do with religion (especially puritan types) than a lot of other reasons.

    if you go to European beaches or naturist beaches, they just become background noise as it’s so common.

  • They're a sexually stimulating organ (s), whether you like that or not. Society isn't dependent on what people "feel like" should be the case.

    • They are organs that CAN be sexually stimulated. But their purpose is not explicitly for that. We could say a man's nipples are sexual as many men get aroused by nipple stimulation, same as us. It's primarily in western culture that boobs are hypersexualized. As for them being seen as immodest and taboo, I'll give you 3 'faithful' guesses as to what brought that on

    • @Sirenboobzilla "It's primarily in western culture that boobs are hypersexualized." Completely disagree. You must have NEVER seen anything from Japan before. They even put boobs on what are supposed to be nine ad ten year old girls to the point it's uncomfortable to look at. I think this "free the nipple" argument is so stupid. It'd be like me arguing I should be able to walk around with my dick flopping about everywhere; from church to playgrounds, and then arguing "women should just be lesbians" if they don't like it. Every time I see this argument, it reeks of narcissism and entitlement. As if asking women to be decent is some extremely sexist, oppressive movement. The same applies to breastfeeding. No, it's not "misogyny" to ask women to not be whores, or indecent in public. Not saying YOU are making this argument, but OP basically is.

    • Since WW2 Japan has been heavily influenced by Western culture. Though, yes, anime boobs are quite the spectacle. Comparing breasts to penises isn't a good argument to me. For the same reason indescribed prior, breasts are not a sexual organ. Their sole biological function is for feeding, lest they just exist. Whereas a penis has the specific function for sex (and of course peeing). It's better to compare genitalia against genitalia and nothing more. If I walk with my vagina out, yeah I can see that being an issue. Decency is full of gray areas because what's decent for one community/culture doesn't necessarily meet the expectations of for another. And I'll use a relatively unique example. Take a nudist beach. Almost everyone's naked. No one bats an eye. Decency there is respecting everyone around you by maintaining space, not gawking at anyone, and being mindful of the people around you when trying to take pictures. Indecency there is the opposite of what I described. Additionally, breasts have only really been considered obscene in more recent history. In the Roman empire and French culture it was quite fashionable and normal for high class women to have 1 or both breasts out. Wasn't until the rise of Christianity and the church that it started being considered obscene. Not mention how Europe's reliance on the church caused the Dark Ages and technologically set us back almost 1000 years, but who's counting. I've heard women chastise men for simply being men and how we should all be lesbians. It's a retarded notion. Unfortunately, just like Amber Heard, the actions and voices of shitty people are often far too loud even when they're few in number. Side note: breastfeeding in public is protected by law throughout most of the world.

  • That's more a recent development brought on by, you guessed, Christianity and the Catholic Church. So people claiming that they've always been immodest are full of shit and know nothing of history

  • Think it's because men stare, women are ashamed andtv wants to not get sued.

  • I see nothing taboo about them they are part of the human body better put there for a reason and at the same time I have made up my own reasons because I think they're absolutely beautiful and when you can touch them very very slow motion and you can feel her quiver no matter how you touching them whether it's the tip of your tongue your lips your fingers your chest and you can feel her sensation at the same time you're doing it I think it's a beautiful thing I don't see any taboo at all

  • I don't know it's just a bit of fat with a nipple on it I don't see the big deal of why they're so taboo either

  • I think because they’re so sexually exciting.

  • Are you from the free the nipple movement? :)

  • Are they yours

  • U have pretty face but please girl, pretty self pride is more important too.. u dont know how much creeps here.. u dont asked ur boobs looks like, so.. better to just spilled ur idea rather than with ur spilled milk too, respect urself first girl 😣

  • It's Not taboo... It's most beautiful part of a girl no matter it's small or big.. The truth is that social media advertising the boobs more than the other part's of a girl, mostly shows boobs are in sharp puffy shape at Social media but natural shape of boobs always more attractive I mean saggy or small breast but social media only concentrate or show only round puffy sharp boobs that's the reason in some way it's taboo... But honestly for me every size or shape of breast is beautiful and attractive and it's beautiful part of a girl like a man chest..

  • "Throughout history boobs have been considered taboo..."
    No, that's not the case at all. Ex. the Minoans liked to show them off.
