Even the researchers behind the study say, “I want to stress this finding is not final.” That should tell you something.
The sample size is small and limited to a single cultural group. Meanwhile, we’ve got plenty of anthropological evidence showing that in many societies where breasts are regularly exposed, they’re not treated as sexually arousing. So no, this study doesn’t magically override decades of cross-cultural data.
That said, the idea that breasts signal health or fertility? Sure, obviously. Just like wide hips, clear skin, or symmetrical faces. But biological relevance doesn’t automatically make something a fetish object. We don’t jerk off to white blood cell counts.
And yeah, obesity isn't typically seen as attractive because it signals potential health risks (dont cross post this on tumblr).
The study is interesting, but it doesn’t prove breasts are inherently sexual. It just adds a datapoint to a complex picture where biology and culture play roles.
I beg your pardon?
Nudists think people who wear clothes and dont question whether their shame is vindicated are weird. I'm inclined to agree with them lol.
You're not picking up what I'm laying down.
I'm not arguing that feet and breasts aren't capable of providing sexual stimulation from a first person perspective. I'm saying that from a third person perspective, theres nothing about them which inherently arousing; that arousal stems from novelty.
I mean sure, you do you. If everyone wore gloves in a parallel timeline, you'd probably want chin scratches.
Yes, but I'm talking about arousal. The distinction between the adjective and verb of 'sex' is important lol.
That pane doesn't actually matter*, it's a shield to stop people from fucking with the middle and outer panes.
The outer pane takes the full brunt of the cabin pressure.
You'll see a tiny hole on the middle pane (evidence of it's inability to withstand pressure cabin pressure). It's job is to 'let' the outer pane take all the pressure, while preventing moisture buildup.
*it matters in a world where people freak out and shout shit like 'I'm telling you right now, that motherfucker is not real!'
I became interested in why foot fetishes occur recently.
Basically, it's the same reason why breasts are considered sexual (they aren't); it's all about novelty. If we lived in a nudist colony, neither feet, nor breasts would be considered sexy.
Feet get covered by shoes, making them more novel.
Tribal cultures dont regarded breasts, or feet, as sexy.
Though it begs the question: if nudity became normalized, then what would be novel?
People would find personalities, voices, power dynamics, and fantasies more or less erotic than they are now (for most people).
Kung Fury director? Sign me up fam.
Also hurry up and release Kung Fury 2.
Also (x2) anyone who hasn't watched Kung Fury, please fucking educate yourself.
It's so fucking mesmerizing how JP tries to show everyone his verbal gymnast skills, only to realize SH is playing verbal jujitsu and wrapping him into a pretzel.
They're more like depth detectors now. They dont work on magnetism, they work by detecting the ultrasonic echoes of what's behind the wall.
