I worked in a developing country for three years. Women’s breasts were not considered private. As a result, I saw breasts frequently. By about month two, a uncovered female breast was about as interesting to me as her elbow. There’s no reason to sexualize the breast. They are baby-feeding organs. Not to go all Freud on you, but I wonder if it’s a remnant of the breast-feeding positive feelings.
“there’s nothing sexual about breasts”
I never understand this opinion. Do you expect me to feel bad for getting aroused by breasts? Do you expect me to try and change that about myself? Do you expect me to explain it academically and defend it like a view that requires an argument?
If there wasn’t anything sexual about breasts, it doesn’t seem like people would get aroused by them. Simple as that.
Context matters and self control exists. Yes, boobs can be arousing but if just seeing a random boob in public gives you a boner there might indeed be something wrong with you.
Hell, gynaecologist and a doctor doing beast exams look at boobs and even vaginas all day and they manage not be constantly horny.
Get your shit together.
Only people in a handful of Western countries get aroused by them. Remember, men in western countries used to get aroused by ankles.
This is an extremely silly statement. People can and will be aroused by anything. Some people like feet. Feet are definitely not a sex organ. Some people get turned on by biceps. Some people really like legs. Definitely doesn’t need to be a sex organ to arouse someone.
That absolutely cannot be true. Is Japan western, for example?
Um, yeah that would be because they’d seen nothing more. Are you really implying they wouldn’t have been aroused by breasts??
In any case, “breasts aren’t sexy, billions of people are wrong” is a bad take. Maybe you win this community.
What country is not western to you???
