OK, after reading the other thread about the guy asking why he as a guy liked breasts, it brought up the question. So do lesbians look at womens’ breasts? Do lesbians like breasts? Do lesbians like to fondle each other’s breasts? ---

Doncha hate it when you sit down with a bunch of lesbians to eat a bucket of KFC and you get stuck eating the leg? ---

In all seriousness, folks, I think the original poster was asking if lesbians are “turned on” by breasts in a manner similar to drooling men. It’s a legitimate question. ---

The **Major** is usually a pretty good guy, so let me try to rephrase. In an earlier thread about men being attracted to breasts despite their status as secondary and not primary sex characteristics, we learned that there are many reasons for the attraction – some cultural, some sexual, some maternal (!). Trying to understand the relative weightings of these factors, I wonder if there exists a study somewhere that tracks how much lesbians find breasts to be an important sex characteristic relative to straight men. Well, that was a crappy effort, but I hope it was enough to keep this out of IMHO or the Pit at least until morning. ---

Do you ever go back to something you’ve posted and think, “Oh, for a different phrasing?” wonder why that came to mind… Anyway. Breasts are nice. Do I like them the same way a straight guy does? I don’t know, I’ve never been a straight guy. And who’s to say that straight guys all like breasts the same way? Or, for that matter, lesbians? I’m a personality-driven kind of girl. Not that quietgirl isn’t damn sexy, thanksmuch. I do know lesbians and bisexual women that are putty in the hands of a girl with a nice chest, though. Honestly, there might be a different wiring motivation. I mean, I don’t seek out women for reproduction on some deep biological level. (Or perhaps, deep down, I’m a gibbering idiot. ([sub]run with that thought and die[/sub]) Generally speaking, though… all the lesbians I’ve known tend to be very apprecitive of all a woman’s bits and pieces. ---

I sure know I do. But what I like more are smiles. Meaning, so I’m not being handy-esque, that while a nice set of A or B cup breasts makes my heart go a-flutter, a person acting friendly and happy and nice towards me makes me lose myself in their smiling eyes. Until I can’t remember where I am. [sub](Yes, I like C, D, and other cup sizes also. I just have a thing for the smaller sizes in particular.)[/sub] ---

OK, I’ll tell a little sorta-secret. If I’m just looking at pure sexual attraction, and ignoring personality totally, there is one thing that drives me wild. A pretty, smooth, woman’s ankle and foot. ( **Swoon!** Una faints and falls to the floor. And will probably be too embarassed to post for a while.) ---

Sure lesbians like breasts. Lesbians like women, and most women have breasts. It does, however, seem that women are not as concerned as men are with the _size_ of their partner’s breasts. I have only ever heard one woman express a strong breast size preference, and she was partially joking – she was teasing a friend by saying that she’d never date her because her breasts weren’t big enough. ---

Lesbian women have pretty much the same erogenous areas as straight women. Gay men have pretty much the same erogenous areas as straight men. And men have pretty much the same erogenous areas as women. But these are all generalities, and there are many differences in all people. Including lesbians. So yes. In general, lesbian women are turned on by women’s breasts. But **andygirl** already said that, didn’t she? Peace, mangeorge ---

OK, a little secret about myself: _I’m a lesbian trapped inside a man’s body!_ And I LOVE breasts! OK, seriously… I’m sure that lesbians like breasts too, but maybe not in the same way that men do… men tend to be MUCH more visual, and women tend to be more, uh, emotional (?), more touchy-feelie… I’m getting kinda turned on!

Well, I’m not a lesbian, but I appreciate nice breasts. Oh, who am I kidding? I oggle boobies as much as my BF does. I can’t help it! They are _nice_. And I prefer big boobies. There, now you know. ---

Does the opinion of a bisexual count? If so, then I’ll tell you that yes, I like breasts. I _really_ like breasts. Breasts are beautiful. I like the look, the feel, the idea–everything. A nice set of breasts is extremely arousing. ---

I’m straight and I love breasts. It’s been months since I’ve gone a day without touching mine… and it’s usually not in a sexual way, I just like to feel them. The end. ---

I have never been a breast person. Nope, I’ve got a back and stomach fetish. There’s just something about the slope of a woman’s back that is very appealing. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-lesbians-like-breasts/43125.md?page=2)
