> Women's breasts perform an invaluable nutritional function in the preservation of the species. For (most) men they are also a source of visual stimulation and tactile pleasure. Is the manual or oral touch of a woman's breast (intimacy aside) physiologically stimulating and sensual for the woman or is this, too, a guy thing that woman tolerate?I’ve breastfed three children, and so I suppose my breasts have had a nutritional function. But I don’t think of it as their primary function. I guess I do notice their visual impact from time to time, but that doesn’t seem to be their primary function either.
My breasts are definitely central to my sexual response. I tend to think that’s their main purpose in my life, and the other things they can do are secondary. I didn’t find feeding my kids at all erotic, and I found it very easy to separate the feeding function from the sexual function (though I never tried sexual activity during a feed, you understand). Having said that, my breasts felt very different while I was breastfeeding and I prefer the way they feel when I’m not breastfeeding!
So I guess I’d say that I don’t just tolerate breast touch; I encourage it. The more the better, in my view. Breast fun is my second favourite thing.
