I’m going to attempt an adult observation about an allegedly infantile interest.
My mom was one of the few college-educated women of her generation to nurse her children. She nursed each of my younger siblings and me for at least a year. When we were very small kids my parents were moderately casual about nudity. So in classic terms there’s no real excuse for my infantile fascination with women*s breasts but I think they’re great.
Perhaps instead I was nursed too long. Whatever the reason I think women’s breasts are very sexy though in more of a sensual erotic way rather than a honney-lemmie-layya kind of way. Breasts make me serene and happy. It’s not a matter of size, not at all, at all. Beautiful breasts come in all sizes and all kinds of shapes.
I have a fantasy of going to the doctors for an EEG and while I’m on the table the technician, wearing a thin blouse, leans over me while she untangles the leads. Why? Because I’m a peeping tom? Well that too but really because I wonder if there are any changes in my alpha waves. I’m really not joking. I’d really like to know.
Even though it makes me a nerd I’d really like to know.

Aw, Fig... Nerd is a good thing. Nerds make things happen. If I had access to an EEG, I'd offer it.
[Thanks for the lovely (if hypothetical) offer, DN! --fl]

Infantile? Feh, i say. Boobies are just wonderful, that's all there is to it. My daughter, even, is still in love with breasts (she was nursed 2.5 years, if that means anything). Breasts just... rock. That's all. No need to excuse it (-;.
[Thanks, Lydia. --fl]

i pumped fulltime for my son, now 3, so he did not have much contact with my breast, although he got the milk...however, he is a boob man...when i would hold him as a baby, his hand would go down my shirt...not to play, just to hang out there...and now, he is fascinated with his own boobies, mine, the fact that everyone has them, etc...
maybe he is just like me and thinks they are cool... :)
peace...
[Oh cool. Thanks, Monkey. --fl]

I'm with you, figleaf, breasts ARE cool.
Big, little or all points in between, no matter, they're all lovely.
[You're right, of course. I know it sounds silly but the other night I was watching De-lovely, a pretty cool movie about Cole Porter who was maybe 95% gay, and Ithere was a point where he's paid for a prostitute in a gay bar and he's heading into a little back room to hook up with him and I was just thinking "how can you do that with someone who doesn't have breasts." Don't get me wrong, I know millions, maybe billions of people do it every day and never think twice about it so I know I'm in a minority, but... I dont know, maybe I wouldn't be so compulsively monosexual if women didn't have a monopoly on them. :-) Thanks, SD. --fl]

Who cares what the reason is for your appreciation of breasts? You love 'em (as does pretty much every straight male) and that's awesome. Why do I love cock? Was I fed from a cock as a child? (Okay, that's actually a really disturbing image, and it was supposed to be funny, but I have failed misterably... but I'm not going to delete it. I blame the early hour and the fact that I just woke up.) Anyway. As with many sexual proclivities, I say, embrace it and don't worry about looking for a 'why'!
[Hey, Amber. That may indeed have been in poor taste but it's the perfect Zen refutation of 50 years of people saying men like breasts only because they were (or weren't) bottle fed. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Also, having just started reading your blog do you mind if I fall on my knees saying "I am not worthy?" Well, ok, I *am* worthy but I'm also very happy to meet you, Amber. Thanks for dropping by. --fl]
