Honestly? I often ponder this. It's amusing when you consider how enamored we are with bosoms.
I've heard it described that "Woman is the most beautiful shape in the human consciousness." And that stuck with me.
My wife often catches me gawking and thinks it's weird but I'm just like "You're just amazing. All of you. Everything about you." I feel like an idiot because I can't explain what the heck I actually mean.
It's just hard to fathom how a single being can be so... naturally aesthetic!
Women are just awesome. As a visual artist myself, I totally understand the compulsion to depict cute/pretty/happy/sexy ladies all the time. Heck, some artists do this exclusively. Variety is the spice of life, artists, but I get it. ๐
I think we're coded to enjoy rounded elegant shapes, but there's something enchanting about femininity as a whole, and boobs and butts signal "feminine!!" to our brains.
Also I'd say size and such really doesn't matter. I think the really fascinating thing is the sheer variety, to the point they're unique to the woman as an individual person. And it has nothing to do with biological essentialism! (Tiny boobs are just as good at feeding young as ginormous ones)
It's also a bit cultural, I think. They're so obvious, yet hidden in polite company. So seeing them exposed feels like you have an intimate window into this person's world, and you feel special for the privilege, I suppose.
Lol now I feel like a weirdo, typing this all out. Does that help? LOL
Straight male here. This response is excellent.
Hey, that means a lot. Thanks! :)
I have spent the last 12 years trying to convince my wife that I am not trying to trick her. I really do think she is that beautiful.
