> [@tumbleddown](#): > > My point was that this is as relevant to what to what non-heterosexual women who have been raised and socialized as women in western society find sexually attractive as the shape of our left big toe. I think it’s been pretty well established at this point that across cultures men (on average) are attracted to shapely women within an envelope of certain preferred waist-hip ratios. So much so that many researchers assume this is a “wired” preference on some level. If men’s brains are wired (to a degree) to be attracted to shapely women and lesbian brains share similar components of that wiring, why is it outlandish to hypothesize that lesbians may be “wired” to be attracted to a shapely women with a nice set of breasts in the same manner as heterosexual men? ---

I’ve been close friends with a lot of lesbian and bisexual women (as well as quite a few gay men), and from what I’ve observed, tastes vary as much as with food, music, or anything else. Different strokes for different folks. Also, I’ve seen the phenomenon of gay men who are fascinated with women’s breasts. Strange, but true. ---

Lesbian reporting in. Yes, I love breasts. A nice set of breasts, some lovely cleavage, can turn me into the dirtiest old man. I have to make a conscious effort to remind myself, “look into her eyes… make eye contact… Do. Not. Look. Down.” It’s embarrassing, and makes me feel a little bit compassionate toward straight guys who just can’t resist looking.
