QUERY: If this theory about why men love breasts is correct, would we expect to find more eroticization of breasts in cultures that place more emphasis on romantic love? The theory: “Young states from this point of view that when a sexual partner touches, massages or nibbles a woman’s breast it triggers the release of oxytocin in the woman’s brain, just like what happens when she nurses a baby. From this perspective the oxytocin is helping the woman to focus her attention on her sexual partner and strengthening her desire to bond with this person.”
