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?

    Boobs look like they’re drops of water, just about to drip. So there’s a certain anticipation there. Our brains are wired to predict where action and movement is going to be.

      That is the first time i’ve heard that. Not sure about it, but sounds like it could be true. Interesting nonetheless.

    Humans are the only mammals with boobs that stay “inflated” without childbirth or breastfeeding involved.

    The theory is that it’s an evolutionary selection, and the hypothesis is it’s an aesthetic choice that keeps reinforcing itself (a positive feedback loop) and now it’s HotWired in our brains.

    The way i personally see it though, just like how i like certain types of food without a proper explanation to why, i also like boobs.

    There’s also the idea it’s connected to being breastfed as a baby which brings back all those warm and safety feelings with them. That doesn’t explain why most women (I speculate) aren’t as into boobs as the average guy. That said, I’ve met multiple women, some straight,who also found boobs very fascinating. So maybe they get the same warm and safety feelings minus the sexual attraction?

      You might be on to something. I was not breast fed, and I’m not a boob person in particular.

      Now we have to wait for another anecdote from someone that was breastfed.

    I try to avoid paying them any attention unless someone wants me to look at or touch them thanks to the implication. Most of the time it’s just a place where I shouldn’t look, so it gets a little awkward in my head when someone has on a graphic tee that I want to read or look at.

    Something to work around most of the time, but then can make a partner happy when they are appreciated as themselves when vulnerable enough to bare that much, which adds a little special dynamic that gets the brain chemicals doing their thing.

    The biological hypothesis is that they look like an ass on your chest. Asses are visually arousing for males for what I hope are obvious reasons.

    i wouldn’t say i like boobs. I don’t go out of my way to look for them. for me, its about if my partner finds something pleasing during a intimate moment.

    I think there’s a similar attraction to all erogenous areas, but due to cultural reasons breasts are ones that are always covered and their uncovering signals intimacy.

    Favoring big breasts is mostly a cultural thing with some links to biological instincts that I wouldn’t give much weight to.

    “Jiggling” transfers information about their structure and your brain can create a model on their “feel” without touching.

    I think it just goes back to two main things. Being breast fed as a child, you grow to depend and love on the boob, so it’s kind of baked into our genetics to some degree. Secondly the Church basically sexualized boobs and are considered taboo private parts most people aren’t supposed to see so that gives it some sort of allure that you’re seeing something your not supposed to, which in American culture is pretty much the norm. Think of how ankles were such a thing to flaunt not that long ago at all. Some cultures just outright don’t care about boobs and just let em hang out so I really just feel like it boils down to culture for most of it.

    Past all of that, and personally, a nicely resting boob is just a great sight. Something about the curves and seeing the body in its natural form idk. Also, squishy, they’re great to just have a hand on and give a good squish every now and then.

    I’m not seeing a lot of mentions of nipples here. So for me, size is pretty much secondary. Nice, prominent nipples are sure to get my attention, though.

      Even on a man, nice nipples are the piece of the pie.

      I think you’re onto something here.

    They are soft, easy to grab, and they belong to an attractive person’s body at large, which makes them an amazing tactile experience overall.

    On the looks, they greatly complement the hourglass shapes, which are very harmonious and pleasing.
