The heteroHealthual male attraction to the female breast is one of the truly mysterious phenomena of the universe. On the face of it, there is little logic to it. Men are drawn to the round, milk-producing protuberances emanating from a woman's chest.

Curiously, men have breasts of their own. And -- though they are about as useful as a snow shovel in the Sahara -- men have nipples as well. So why should men be so attracted to the female variant which, in point of fact, differs little from their own anatomy?

Dr. Stephen McDougal, Phd. says: "I'd say it has something to do with what breasts symbolize. There's something uniquely feminine - hyperfeminine, if you will -- about the female breast. It's soft, it's inviting, it's comforting, and it's curvy. And it's just different enough from what we've got on our chest to be mysterious, erotic -- other."

He also adds: "As for size, well, the bigger the breasts are, the more mysterious, erotic, other. Some (Freudians mostly) will tell you that men are drawn to a woman's breasts because we seek the vaguely Healthual infantile memory of maternal breastfeeding. This, in my view, is poppycock. There is simply something about the breast that is emblematic of everything female. Get to see it, and you've glimpsed a beautiful nether region. Get to touch it and it's like going through the gates of Shangri-la."

By the way, not all men are turned on by big breasts. Indeed, many a man is jazzed by smaller cup sizes. Vive le difference!

Beautiful Breasts and Perfect Breasts

The distinct curve of the female breasts, their sensitivity to touch, and their role in suckling infants give them an aesthetic and a functionality that are distinctly feminin. The female breast is a visible, tangible and beautiful feature of the female body.

A great deal of sensual appeal centers on the female breast. Women tend to view their breasts through the reflection of their desirability to men.

Men's magazines such as Playboy and FHM shape cultural attitudes about the desirable appearance of the breast. These magazine covers feature women with large breasts and slim figure.

Women's magazines reinforce this view. Cosmopolitan, Chatelaine, Self, Essence, Jane and other women's magazines regularly feature articles about ways to build and tone the breast, promising readers that they will therefore be able to better attract the opposite Health and have a more active social life.

The perfect breasts are considered round, positioned high on the chest, large and firm.
If breasts are large, their weight tends to pull them down, resulting in neck and back discomfort. If they are large and round they will tend to droop and not be firm.
The reality is that women's breasts sag with childbirth and age, which is unavoidable.

Women tend to perceive their own breasts as smaller than an ideal breast size they expect is preferred by men.

If women are obsessed about their breast size and shape to the extent of surgery, men aren't doing any better. For many men female breasts are a source of fascination and fantasy. They get inspired from looking at pictures where they see cleavage, where breasts are enticingly almost visible, yet hidden.

There are few men who are not fascinated by the twin visual attractions which women carry before them and which they display with varying degrees of boldness or coyness.

Men's main interest seems to be in the breast shape. A closer look at well developed and beautiful female breasts reveals them to be be finely balanced, with the tissue tension precisely matching the weight so that they have both a beautiful form and mobility, similar with a work of art.

Another appeal of the female breast is its infinite variety. Many small women have big breasts while some big women are endowed in inverse proportion to their size. The same is true of nipples - some are big, others are minuscule, the variety seemingly neverending.
Perhaps it is this mystery of the breast that men find so appealing ... what shape is it exactly?

Women are very clever at giving visual clues, often revealing a mesmerizing swelling and leaving the admirer's imagination to mentally picture the rest.

Those who have not resorted to hormone treatment or breast enlargement pills can still achieve something of this effect by forcing up the flesh of their small breasts to give a hint of cleavage.

And, of course, the final attraction of the female breast is tactile. Most men find the desire to touch them almost overwhelming...

The warm softness, the eager response of the nipples springing to attention when touched, the trembling of the woman's body and the look of contentment as she closes her eyes in rapture... these drive many men crazy ... and many women to seek out breast enhancement
