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?

    Not straight, and not a man, but I just think they’re neat! There really doesn’t need to be a “why” to attraction, sometimes your brain just sees something and goes “yes”

    Small ones are cute and bite sized, big ones are squishy pillows. Regardless of size, they’re all soft and cute.

    at the beginning there was only ass. when humans still walked in 4 legs, the sexual thing they saw in front was ass cheeks. then humans went and started to walk on 2 legs. humans evolved and developed basically boobs so they were at eye level and attract the males.

    boobs are the cheap version of ass.

    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.

      Of the erogenous zones, breasts are the ones you can see most often. It may be different in the US, but where I grew up, topless sunbathing is quite a thing and I even saw a lot of boobs in shower soap commercials at 6pm on public TV as a kid. When my kids were babies, my (now ex-) wife would also just nurse them on a park bench - which also I isn’t unusual.

    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 was not breastfed as well (as couldn’t even digest my mother’s milk), still I like boobs very much. I find them very beautiful - and also like different forms and sizes.

        I only don’t like boobs with silicone implants, they’re not soft and cuddly.

      id like to know the genetic trait that causes some boobs to be big and some to be small…if it was for aesthetics why wouldn’t they all be one uniform size or very close?

    I don’t know, probably for the same reason others like other things. Chemical reactions, probably?

    It can’t be explained directly, by itself. They’re part of a bigger picture.

    Straight men are attracted to women on the whole - legs, arms, waist, face, chest, back, it’s all good. Whatever force it is that makes us attracted to women, it’s not something that we chose or decided. We just do.

    Since boobs are a sign of femininity, they’re attractive to us on exactly that level! They fit into our idea of what women look like.

    All three of those things. On a subconscious primal level though it means nutrition for babies

    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.

    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.
