Mr. John - The hormone estrogen is responsible for developement of secondary sex characteristics. Other factors responsible are genetic (both in how the body responds to the estrogen and when puberty occurs) and available calories. I’ve seen very few naturally non-proportional women - most of those were very large all over but still disproportionate. If the women you are referring to were, umm, exotic dancers, they may not have been natural. ---

> [@](#): > > They are more than milk producing glands for women too! They’re erogenous zones and bring us more pleasure than they do you! Of course men like to look at them – they’re a part of a woman’s sexuality. I think your underestimating us men’s complete subservience to the breast. You would be ashamed by the thoughts that go through us guys minds on the topic of breasts. I understand that women are attached to them (pun possibly intended), but realize that a little stimulation by touch can’t compete with the total depth of our darkest, most animalistic urges to drink of the sweet nectar of the bosom. I’m gonna go on a limb and say that in men’s formative years the breast, the embodiment of the forbidden fruit (sex), is the single most important thing in our lives, beyond god, family, and country. Its really quite pathetic, but damn, I can’t get enough of 'em. Note: I never commented on size being an issue. Ladies, I ask you this. Have you ever had to tell men to pay more attention to your boobs? I doubt it, your likely smacking guys, and yelling at them for staring, and telling your men that you have a head ache when he slips his hands up your shirt from behind. I submit that this is evidence that they are more important to us, than they are to you, if the other way were the case then you’d be begging us to play with 'em. If thats the case I can give you my number! :o ---

Oh yeah Omniscient? What about those women such as myself who derive great pleasure from breast stimulation **as well** as having deep, dark, animalistic urges and fantasies that involve our breast? I think we gotcha beat. * * * \>^,^\< KITTEN Coarse and violent nudity. Occasional language. ---

Aw, come on Matt. Quit being so damned politically correct. Of course she’s not there to show off her tits and find a mate. But on the other hand. A birds plume is always there, even when he (almost always a he) is trying to catch a worm. ct ---

I remember the story of a woman who was talking to some guy. He just keep looking at her chest while she was talking to him. Finally, she just grabbed them both, bobbing them up and down to insinuate that they were answering him. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boobs-exist-to-make-men-happy/2273.md?page=3)
