Breast fetishism

__NOTOC__

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Breast fetishism is a fetishistic sexual interest in female breasts, especially their shape, display and size. It may also involve the movement of the breasts or focus in sexual activities. The roots of this phenomena go back to ancient history, are biologically and culturally driven, and reflect differences in each society.

Currently common in American and Japanese culture, this fixation has increased cultural acceptance of female breast implants among some subcultures. Many adult film and pornography stars have capitalized on this cultural phenomenon by having their breasts enlarged to implausible sizes.

Although it is a cultural phenomenon in the adult film world, this fact can be seen as a reflection and exaggeration of the real world. Large breasts are seen as symbols of sexuality and attractiveness to men, and some women, in large portions of the Western world, although historically the "preferred" breast size has changed many times. Sociologists and others have often tried to explain this in terms of natural selection and biology but conflicts exist over what is the true reason for some men's and women's attraction to large breasts.

Some prefer small rather than large breasts (estimates of men's preferences range as high as 1/3); and not all breast fetishism concerns size. Some individuals have a fetishistic preference for breasts with large, dark, or puffy areolae (commonly, though incorrectly, referred to as "puffy nipples"), or to unusually long or thick nipples. These variations are all sufficiently common, for example, to rate individual binaries groups on Usenet. The "puffy" fetish, in particular, can be somewhat controversial because this characteristic is most common in pubescent girls (though it is not unknown in older women).

There are also fetishes concerned with lactation in general, and with nursing ("milk fetishism"). The former is quite common in many hentai games/anime/manga, where busty girls will be able to lactate, despite not being pregnant

More recent breast fetishism can be in part linked with the Canadian actress and glamour model, Pamela Anderson, who helped amplify and normalize the trend by openly acknowledging her cosmetic surgery to increase her breast size and shape, and whose enhancement seemed to increase her stardom, rendering implants more publicly acceptable for the average woman.

In comics, animation, and video games, where gravity is not a limiting factor, large-breasted female characters are fairly common; this is particularly true in American comic books, and Japanese anime and manga.
