Please forgive the asinine title...

This article got me thinking about breasts, and I realised something that I've probably known on some level for a long while, but that I've probably never articulated: without a sexual context, I find breasts to be kinda, well, boring (at least from the outside).

In fact, I'm beginning to think that I find almost everything about the human body kinda boring, outside a sexual or medical context.

This came as a bit of a surprise to me because I used to like believing that I'm the kind of person who can separate attraction to the physical form from attraction to personality and behaviour, and place significant importance on the former (so as to distinguish myself from those condescending idealists that think personality is the only thing that should matter?).

Is this something you guys recognise? Is it a symptom of growing up, or of simply being desensitised?

Perhaps you've had a discussion about this before, but I didn't think I'd be helped by a search for "boobs" or "breasts" on these forums :)

Narr:
True story: It's very much an American thing to be all "tee-hee boobies!"  I mean, it's not that women in other countries can walk around topless and no one will do a double-take, but the idolization of breasts as we Americans view them doesn't even really extend to Canada or Mexico, our closest neighbors.  (The Japanese, on the other hand... well.... it's the fucking Japanese.)

My german professor told us a story about a time he taught in Germany for a year.  He was teaching foreign exchange students from the US.  They went down to a bath house.  He didn't realize that public spas and the like in Germany do not separate men from women.  He also didn't realize that people don't do the little towel thing to cover the pride and joy while in saunas.  At first, he was shocked (one of his colleagues was with them and called him a prude, in fact) but then he realized something profound.  He noticed that the boys (not his boys, but the natives) were comfortable talking to the women in the place, despite the fact everyone was naked.  It wasn't lust in their eyes.  It wasn't a sexual thing.  It was just a person that happened to be naked.

That said, I still think boobs are pretty great in a sexual context.  I'm just not as phased by them outside of wanting to plunder a woman's treasure as most other men in the country because I've made the conscious decision to just accept things that are there as simply being there, nothing special about it.  (Not saying it always works; just saying if you make a decision ahead of time, it makes it a lot easier to get closer to that ideal.)

My frist wierd cultural boob experience (I haven't had nearly enough of them) was in Caines, Australia. Some friends and I were there for a few days and some of the girls I was with wanted to go down to the Public Lagoon area to lay out and some of the guys thought it would be fun to get some beef from the store and BBQ it (endless shrimp on the barbie jokes were made cause it's Australia hurr). I was talking to my friend Jule while she was laying out, and for some reason, she sat up to say something to me, and her shoulder/head perfectly framed a girl laying out topless behind her. It threw me for a second, but after looking around, I realized lots of girls were doing it, so it was just a thing, and no big deal. I, of course, asked Julie if she would be doing it, and she hit me.

But, boobs have never really been a big thing to me. There have been numerous occasions where I've befriended a girl, decided I liked her, then someone pointed out to me that she "has a totally huge rack, man" and it's hard to get someone to believe that I just never noticed it before they mentioned it. I'm way more of a butt guy, but apparently there's no such thing as a guy that doesn't like boobs, according to most of the people I know...

Like Narr said, they can definitely be great in certain circumstances, but they aren't the kind of thing I really look for, because... well, it just never really has been. I don't actually have a reason why.

jhocking:
If people in other countries don't recognize how awesome boobs are, well, then that's just another reason we're better than them.

Sure, I like boobs, but I tend to just ignore them if there is something more important going on.
