In many cultures of the world, breasts do not have the least little bit to
do with sexuality. Culturally speaking, breasts may represent something to
some group or another, but they are not physically sexual by nature or
function. See Breastfeeding and Biocultural Perspectives, edited by
Dettwyler. Experiencing pleasure with regard to breasts is also a cultural
phenomenon.
