Sigh...

You have something in common with Poly/Boaz, he simply doesn't get it either that a fetish with breasts is part of our western culture. There are plenty of others (cultures) where breasts are either displayed openly or just not a major source of fascination. Yet all our world's cultures start life as babies and are (hopefully) breast fed.

Do you get the point now? Breast feeding has NOTHING to do with our view of the female body. It is a learned. Whether women are wrapped from head to foot in cloth or completely naked - it is always cultural. What is inherent and natural is to have an attraction to other people. Opposite sex if you're heterosexual, same sex if you're homosexual. I do believe that gay males were mostly breast fed also.

That you and people like Poly/Boaz can only evaluate from the narrow field your own biases is your misfortune.

Why does one have to make a choice between taking a woman's words and actions seriously and judging her on her sex appeal? Why not consider the entire person? Dualism which is common in our society separates sacred and profane, mind and body, good and bad. I take my wife most seriously as she is thoughtful, original and intelligent. I also find her physically appealing. Neglecting either set of attributes in favour of the other would be a putdown.

Well" tell me this. Are women prepared to excepted the facts, that they play the sex card and( too their own double lives) take the low-down,(respect)because of attraction instead of true love or excepted dress codes, and other peoples expectations.. and your quite right!

This a very prickly situation", the which I don't want to get involved in for a number of reasons one being a male, that cant possibly understand the intricate workings of the female minds.

And I do have a wife! and she does have her own point of veiws

Be well.

I don't know if this will help...

A famous actress once said,

"I dress for women.

I undress for men!"

I really don't care whether you are married or celibate.

I do care, in the interests of intelligent discussion, that you don't have even a rudimentary understanding of anthropology, or even that women are visual creatures too.

I applaud your continuing humour - it is much needed, thank you.

Well, one thing I have learnt, is never argue with a woman. The reason I jumped in with this crap, is the fact that this thread was and is going nowhere. so put your claws away!
