Why do men find breasts attractive
Jokes about breasts, and men looking at breasts, are such a comedy staple they've become a kind of go-to cliché. How many times have we seen a male talking to a curvaceous woman only to have her point to her own eyes and say "Hey, buddy, up here!"?
It's comical -- or, at least, it was funny the first dozen times we saw it -- because it's factual. The male eye does have a way of drifting south. But why? Why are heterosexual men so fascinated by women's breasts that we sometimes act as if the breasts are the seat of the soul?
Well, we happen to be heterosexual men. We also arise to be men interested in biology -- one of us, Larry, is one of the world's leading experts in the neuroscience of social bonding. So we've been thinking about this, and, in our new book, The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex, and the Science of Attraction, we offer an answer.
Biologically speaking, this human male breast obsession is pretty weird. Men are the only male mammals fascinated by breasts in a sexual context. Women are the only female mammals whose breasts become enlarged at puberty, independent

We’ll look at some theories that different scientists include come up with to explain this phenomenon.
Glandula Mammalia: What Exactly Are Boobs?
What many people contact “boobs” are actually fat-filled mammary glands that produce milk. It is one of the main physical features that sets mammals apart from other animals (mammary is the technical term associated with breasts). Humans are also classified as mammals because both males and females have breasts.
However, the female breasts appear larger than males’ for a few reasons. First, females have more estrogen than males; estrogen is a hormone that promotes breast growth. Second, biological theorists state that female breasts evolved specifically to increase in size. The additional fatty tissue could be an adaptive feature designed to back breastfeeding and sexual
New Theory on Why Men Love Breasts

So let's take a tour of the sexy speculation surrounding the human bosom — with a not many stops to elaborate why it's so hard to figure out just why breasts hold such allure.
Mammary glands are a defining feature of mammals, but humans seem unique in granting mammaries a large sexual role. That's not to say interest in nipples is entirely unheard of elsewhere in the animal kingdom: In the book "Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity" (Stonewall Inn Editions, 1999), Canadian biologist Bruce Bagemihl notes that a couple of primate species, including humanity's verb relative the bonobo, have been seen stimulating their hold nipples while masturbating. Still, few mammals other than humans mate face-to-face (the behavior makes headlines when seen in the wild), so nipple stimulation isn't generally par
