From an evolutionary standpoint, why do we find breasts so sexually attractive? They're just basically masses of fat with a little bit of pink skin on it.

We are conditioned to love boobs from birth. Boobs are our source of life and sanctuary. It has a motherly sense of safety and comfort that you get used to. Which is why loving boobs is very natural and gives you joy.

I'm turned on by small breasted women.

I'd say it's a result of being around many ballerinas growing up, since ballerinas tend to have small or nearly flat chests.

I mean I still like big boobs but I wouldn't say I like big boobs more than a flat chest.

>> No.8205899

Nope. You like it because the boobs provides your survival needs from birth, which is why you like it. Also the warm touch of your mother is the first place you feel safe, secure and loved, which is why you associate motherly lovely boobs with comfort and joy.

Sexual selection in any form is circular, by definition. Why do peacocks have large tails that make it harder to survive in the wild? Because large tails indicate sexual desirability. Why do large tails indicate sexual desirability? Because large tails make it easier to attract a mate. Why do large tails make it easier to attract a mate? Because large tails indicate sexual desirability. Ergo, despite large tails being completely ineffective for survival, they thrive in the gene pool and grow larger and larger until they can't physically get bigger without killing the bird.

The basis of sexual selection is that a random trait gets selected via gene drift and nature runs with it. Its inherently illogical, yet it happens. I see no problem with it being applied to breasts

A few basic theories I've heard

>associated with motherhood and comfort
>associated with safety and vulnerability
Honestly, I don't like this one because it rings too Freudian, depending more on feelings than empirical fact. Why would we associate motherhood with sex unless we all wanted to fuck our mothers, when in fact most of us are biologically primed to not want to sex our moms?

>boobs look like butts
>butts are good because humans evolved to do doggy style
>butts are epitome of sexual attraction
This one seems slightly more scientific than above, but still kind of weird. It does explain why boobs have the shape they do, and why we are the only mammals to have permanently engorged breasts. Still weird to me though.

Most plausible one
>sexual selection
>boobs indicate sexual desirability
>this explains why bigger=better
>more milk = more babies
I think its probably a mixture of different theories, but I'd say 70% or more is the last one. Sexual selection is a big part of evolution

I have a better follow up question?

When you think of a nice ass you think of an equally nice thighs, a nice lower back, and most importantly: nice hips
An ass is not only aesthetic, it shows habits, fitness, etc. So much is interconnected.

With tits you just think of tits. I've noticed people who are really into tits like them regardless of the shoulders, stomach, hips, ass, thighs, etc. Tits are just there. People even like disproportionate fake tits.

It's a bit like asking if you prefer intelligence or nice eyes. Someone will probably say intelligence, but nice eyes will still be striking.

boobs are the most visually dominant female feature even though it only being secondary sexual parts

Its what makes the genders visually distinctable at longer distances and helps forming a guess of age and health state thus giving it such a high priority in the mating game.

This. No one said natural selection was logical. the only logic that exists is if it doesn't kill the organism, the genetic material supporting that trait will be carried on. Nature seems to have a bias towards the concept of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
