Science explains men’s attraction to breasts

Women are considered to be more attractive than men but of course, that is from a male perspective there are at least a few parts of a woman’s body that are considered the most attractive (stimulating), for example, the butt, face, vagina, and of course breasts!

Breasts are one of the most seductive parts of a woman, but beyond how men feel about this attraction, science explains why it happens. Almost all men love breasts but if they were asked they wouldn’t know why. Is it because they are big, smooth, have rosy nipples, or something else? They like them for no reason and this has caught the attention of many researchers. They want to find out the most acceptable reasons for men’s attraction to breasts.

While there have been many theories about the origin of this attraction throughout history, until now no scientific study has been able to conclusively explain it, every scientific explanation has to have a supporting base and in many cases one of these is empirical evidence. Sexual attraction is hard to deduce and probably never will be but getting the most plausible answers is possible.

All the advancements made in this field seem to suggest that the attraction most men have for women’s breasts stems from evolution.

While science continues to investigate this curious question, we have compiled the three most widespread theories about the origin of the male fixation on this part of the female anatomy.

1 – Genital echo theory: This theory posits that female breasts became the center of male attention when men started walking upright. Until then, as with many animal species, the male is primarily attracted to the back of the female, as it is right in his line of sight.

When humans started walking on two legs, the buttocks were no longer directly visible and the breasts were more prominent. This theory also states that in parallel, evolution caused female breasts to grow and jiggle to mimic the anatomy of the buttocks so as to continue to attract males and ensure the continuation of the species.

2 – Oxytocin attraction: Another possible cause of the attraction evoked by breasts can be found in oxytocin, a hormone that plays an important role in the connection established between mother and child during breastfeeding and later in couples during intimacy. Hormones are an important part of any sexual affair and scientifically they are the most acceptable “reason”.

In fact, the nipples are an erogenous zone for many women, who find stimulation during intimacy pleasurable. Those who defend this idea state that it supports the secretion of oxytocin. They argue that attraction is precisely due to its ability to induce the formation of this hormone and its usefulness is to activate a neurochemical system capable of keeping a couple together.

3.- Synonym of wealth: Evolutionary theory supports this theory which states that heterosexual males are attracted to breasts because in earlier nations, having large breasts was a sign that women enjoyed constant food availability and a greater ability to breastfeed their children, which in turn meant greater chances of survival for their offspring.

Based on this premise, some studies state that they found that men of lower socioeconomic levels and status prefer women with large breasts. The conclusion of these studies is that when a man is not guaranteed enough resources to support his offspring, he will seek a mate of the opposite sex who has those resources. The bad thing about this theory is that it applies to both breast size and checking account balance.

The same is true when it comes to watching porn. There is a tendency that those with lower economic levels prefer big-breasted women who are often silicon-fake big tits. Those with higher education (and higher income), on the other hand, tend to like natural tits and even if they are big, they are big natural tits. They don’t like being “lied to” with all the surgeries and therapies.

Today websites with natural tits content are getting more search attempts and this shows that something natural about a woman’s breasts tends to be favored. No matter how big or small a woman’s breasts are it won’t matter because a woman’s breasts since millions of years ago were very attractive and today it remains the same.

It’s safe to say that men’s fascination with women’s breasts is probably as old as human civilization itself and that’s due to evolution. Millions of years of evolution seem to have gradually changed how we behave, how we react to stimuli, and how we satisfy our sexual desires.  

The answers above may not be fully satisfactory but they are the closest to the truth. Hopefully, you’ve gained some useful new insights by reading this article. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
