Lines: 27 [I'm going to regret posting this...] Laugh if you will, but I recall reading that part of the reason human males (in general, not "most" or "all" or "99.9%") are supposedly attracted to the female breast (especially those of larger size) has to do with (aside from the purported maternal Freudian complexes) their visual similarity to the buttocks. You see, most mammals I can think of off the top of my head (and I can't think of that many right now) mate "doggie-style" (female on "all fours", male approaching from behind). Thus the visual image associated with sex (by the male) is that of the female buttocks (relating to Lisa's mentioning the hips). The cleavage of the human female breasts (of "sufficient" size), it is theorized, comes close enough to resemble the female rear end, (I don't think any other mammals have dual horizontally-aligned breasts that do the same) such that humans were prompted to engage in face-to-face sex. Hence the attraction to (in some cases, obsession with) the female bosom. It's just a theory. (I have another theory, the theory #2 which is the second theory that I have. AHEM! AHEM! ... ) I personally find large breasts to be (ahem) visually alluring, but for me they're just like long hair: quite nice to look at, but it just gets in the way. (But I wouldn't repeat that in front of certain woman friends of mine... ) -- Now I've lost my train of thought. I'll have to catch the bus of thought. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
