You might change your mind or see this topic in a different light after
reading our very own Dr. Katherine Dettwylers chapter _Beauty and the
Breast_ in her book
"Breastfeeding : Biocultural Perspectives".

I have been following with great interest the discussion on other uses
of human breasts. I have no doubt in my mind that breasts have dual
function. While primary use still remains the function of lactation
secondarily its role is as a secondary sexual organ. If it were'nt so,
it would'nt develop to the size and shape that it attains by the end of
puberty and when pregnancy sets in, it develops further and later when
the function of lactation is over it gets back to prepregnancy state,
mind you it does'nt revert to prepubertal state. Now how one looks at it

or uses it is a different matter. It is a fact of life that men get
titillated by the sight and feel of the organ and some women use it with

great relish to attract men.The advertising and entertainment industry
packs and presents it in various forms to sell different products, be it

sexually related or otherwise. In the sexual act both partners get
stimulated by the organ. I believe this holds good across the various
cultural groups all over the world. I wonder if any animal species have
similar roles or are we the only chosen ones !

Just look at it from the biological point of view !
