For a long time, when it came to the part of the female body preferred by Brazilian men, the opinion was almost unanimous and the female butt reigned absolute as a national preference, but since the late 90's, this position has also been disputed by the breasts. , which increasingly gain space in the imagination and male preference.
It was around this time that the top model Gisele Bundchen began to attract the attention of men and women by parading on the catwalks a blonde, slim and full-breasted beauty, which was enough to launch a new stereotype to be followed by Brazilians and many other women. in the world. Since then, the number of women trying to follow this pattern has only grown and the search for breast implants in Brazil is one of the largest in the world.
The fact is that men have always behaved differently with regard to female breasts, but it was thanks to this popularization and also to greater exposure in the media and beyond that men were more comfortable peeking at cleavages and assuming that preference. In many cases it may even be called obsession. But what is the real reason why men are fascinated and jaw-dropping before a beautiful pair of breasts?
According to researchers, men assimilate the image of breasts to cultural, biological and emotional factors that originate in childhood and represent a source of nourishment, warmth and maternal affection, but when they become men, all this revert to a new source of pleasure, eroticism and sensuality, whether natural or silicone breasts.
Larry Young, one of the world's leading experts on social neuroscience, says Brian Alexander, authors of The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex and the Sciense of Attraction. of attraction), which aims to respond to the relationship of men with female breasts.
According to them, among mammals, men are the only ones who are interested in breasts in the sexual aspect and only in women happens the transformation that increases breast size during puberty. In addition, men are the only animals in which sexual caress and manual and oral breast stimuli are part of foreplay and sex, increasing both male and female arousal.
The hormone that is released by the woman during breastfeeding helps to bond the mother to the baby in a relationship of love, protection and intimacy, which happens similarly in adulthood creating a bond between the couple.
According to the researchers, during breastfeeding, the baby stimulates the mother's breasts, which sends signals to the brain's hypothalamus, which in turn releases oxytocin, the hormone responsible for releasing breast milk and keeping the mother's attention fully focused on the baby. the baby. This makes the newborn become the most important thing in the world for the woman, who is totally satisfied to be able to take care of protecting him, creating a strong and lasting bond.
Larry says that when a man stimulates a woman's breasts, the same series of brain events that occurred during breastfeeding begin.
This theory counteracts that of other streams of biologists. One of them states that the man's interest comes because, seeing a pair of full breasts, they see in it a sign of health that indicates that a woman can produce healthy children.
Another current claims that this attraction occurs because primates have sex from behind and the breasts mimic the shape of the buttocks, which generates the attraction.
For researchers, the attraction has to do with brain mechanisms that foster the bond between mother and baby in early childhood arousing a lifelong attraction, which they say is the fact that humans being the only ones who relate sexually looking into each other's eyes, a trait that developed from the brain circuit created from the relationship between mother and newborn.
According to the researchers, a survey of breast stimulation by Sheffield and Texas Universities shows that 82% of women like caresses in the region and 60% of them explicitly ask to be stimulated in the breasts.
