I'm almost 100% in agreement with breasts being nonsexual.
However, I do have this one nagging doubt in the back of my head.  The
voice says, "why are they there when we don't need them?"  I'm
admittedly not the poster child for my own question, but why do we only
need to look at the chest to tell man from woman?  Other than
artifically manipulated dairy cows I'm not aware of any other mammal
that has obvious breasts while not lactating (and indeed, even before
pregnancy).  Is it due to a lack of adjacent structures?

Enlighten me, please!
regards,
Beth
