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?

    I’m a nan and I don’t so…

    I don’t get why boobs and asses are so interesting for some people.

    I don’t know, probably for the same reason others like other things. Chemical reactions, probably?

    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”

    at the beginning there was only ass. when humans still walked in 4 legs, the sexual thing they saw in front was ass cheeks. then humans went and started to walk on 2 legs. humans evolved and developed basically boobs so they were at eye level and attract the males.

    boobs are the cheap version of ass.

    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.

    All three of those things. On a subconscious primal level though it means nutrition for babies

    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. =/

    All creatures, including humans, possess instinctual knowledge. This is stuff we are born with. For instance: fear of snakes, or estinating how much protein is in our food by taste. Some of our instinctual knowledge is about mate selection since procreation is a very important goal for a species. We use our nose to detect if others are a good immune system match, and we use our eyes to see if they are sick or unhealthy and also assess their ability to nurture children. That last part is where the boobs come in. They make breast milk and so they are a feature that gives pleasure to see. There is no choice about it. We like what we like because of our genetic programming.

      standards of beauty and the sexualization of secondary features are highly cultural. some hundred years ago you’d pull a just-so story out of your ass to explain why ankles are sexy.

        When it comes to sexual attraction, no part of the body is excluded. To most straight males (and gay women I guess) feminine shapes are usually atttactive, that can include boobs, hips, noses, hair, ankles. Are female ankles different from male ankles? Difficilt to tell, but a feminine ankle will be probably attractive to someone attracted to women.

        The whole cultural thing is absolutelt present, but not in the fundamental attraction for female (or male) appearance

          hair styling is entirely cultural, and mainstream preferences for body shape have shifted wildly in the last 30 years just in the united states. all this shit changes way faster than evolutionarily selective pressures.

    Obviously there is no one easy explanation here (as you can see by all the different responses).

    I think evolutionary factors play into a general affection people have for boobs. They are humans first source of food and with it an extremely intimate contact. Also on a “birth readiness” perspective Boobs on a woman suggest that she can feed a child (just as wide hips suggest she can bear one).

    There is something to be said about culture. Since boobs are considered “sexual” they have to be covered in “decent” settings (see also discussions about female presenting nipples on social media) which simply adds to their sexualization.

    Also, in my sexual experience (Bi male) nipples and breasts (boobs/man boobs …) are erogenous zones so playing with them (touching/pinching/kissing/biting…) actually is arousing thus they are “sexual” parts.

    Thats just my two cents.

    Firmware. It’s not a logical rational decision. Years of evolution I guess? There is embedded code in our brains that see tatas and we go ape.

    To me female physical attraction is:
    face > weight > length > waist/hip ratio > Breast shape > nipple shape > size > jiggle.

    I’m not attracted to a woman that has the body of a regular rock,
    lamppost or dishwasher or I’d be physically attracted to those things.
    So the way your body looks is very important for physical male attraction,
    but I would say that the bar currently is low for male attraction in general.

    I don’t think breast shape is ever a deal breaker for the vast majority of men, at least not for me, but it does bring in attention.
    They’re at chest level and can take up a good portion of the body,
    so they’re quite difficult to ignore, especially if they’re large.

    The right size is only a small bonus and the bigger they are, the more attention it brings.
    Jiggle also brings more attention to them, but size is more important as it (falsely?) implies easier arousal.

    They’re also soft, thus very kissable and there’s nipples on them that can indicate and entice arousal.

    All of what you said. Something about them makes them ace to look at.

    Plus, boobs are boobs…big, small, saggy, perky, real, fake. As man’s reaction when a woman takes her top off is a good way to judge him….
