    TIL sexual selection had nothing to do with social conditions, and cultures that do not fetishize breasts don’t exist. /s

    Seriously think it through for like one second, christ. Also the sexual selection hypothesis isn’t proven lol

      If the social conditions have existed for long enough to have an evolutionary effect, what’s the difference?

      And as another commenter mentioned you don’t need to fetishize breasts to be attracted to them.

        Well, again, it is just a hypothesis. Also “happening for long enough” isn’t necessarily how it works, for all you know it could have happened during a brief period and remained vestigial, assuming it even happened.

        Being attracted to body parts is a fetish. I’m using a neutral definition of fetish, there is not an intended negative connotation. Research shows that the only thing that’s like, universally a turn on for people regardless of cultural context is people having sex or masturbating.
