Men Love Breasts

We all know that men love big breasts, but why? It's all thanks to science! Find out what exactly makes men find it almost impossible to keep their eyes up!

Motherly Instincts

Professor Larry Young, along with other scientists, argue that when men pay special attention to a woman's breasts the hormone oxytocin is released in the woman. Oxytocin is known as the "bonding chemical". It was widely known that babies released this bonding chemical during breast feeding, but now we also see that women release it too-- with or without a baby. The stimulation kicks starts the instinct to begin mothering an infant. So it's no wonder why a man would naturally be drawn to this.

Attachment

According to Dr. Helen Fisher, "As men fondle women's breasts oxytocin is released in her brain, triggering feeling of attachment and focusing her on his face, smell, voice". This strengthens her desire to bond with her male partner. In a sense, it's just another way for men to make themselves more attractive to women.

It's not just bonding that goes on when women's breasts are stimulated. It's also arousal, plain and simple. According to Live Science, "Recent studies have found that nipple stimulation enhances sexual arousal in the great majority of women, and it activates the same brain areas as vaginal and clitoral stimulation." So she's aroused, he's aroused, everybody's happy. Thanks, boobs!

It's In The DNA!

It turns out that a man's obsession with large breasts isn't as creepy as some people say. Hey, give them a break! It's just evolution's way of making sure they find a good mating partner (and have fun finding her). You do want the human race to survive, don't you?

Age

Pre-teen girls and women past menopause have one thing in common when it comes to breasts. They both have little or no firm or full breast tissue. A woman's bust is a strong indicator of whether or not she's the right age to have children. You might want to check her ID though.

Face to Face

Since humans are one of the very rare animals that have sex face-to-face, men have had more opportunities to admire a female's breasts during sex. Over time, breasts became associated with sex itself. And we all know men love that.

Fat Can Be Sexy

Back when our ancestors lived in caves and had little access to food, a woman with more fat on her body was more likely to successfully carry out a pregnancy. She had more energy to pass on to her baby. So women with more fat reserves became more attractive. And since breasts are primarily made of fat, and are also a good symbol of the ability to store fat, they can grab the attention of any old caveman.

Hourglass Figure

No matter where you are in the world there is one thing for certain, men love a woman with an hourglass figure. This is because women with this body shape are less likely to get a variety of diseases. And you can't get that classic curve without the top part of the hourglass.

Western Culture

Men love busty women, sure. But breasts are not loved in the same way across the world. There are cultural differences. "In some African cultures, for example, women don't cover their breasts, and men don't seem to find them so, shall we say, titillating." says anthropologist Fran Mascia-Lees.

Fake-Out

When a woman is at her prime, her most fertile, her breasts will usually become larger and firmer. So think of large breasts as a natural fake out. Men will instinctively gravitate towards a voluptuous woman because she appears to be more fertile.
