I've wondered the same. Are breasts intrinsically sexually arousing to men, or is it purely societal? Are men born to think boobs are sexual, or does he get conditioned to feel that way by society?
I mean, boobs exist for the sole purpose of feeding babies. That is the whole reason they exist, and that seems like the least sexy thing ever.
.
On the other hand, I have heard that boobs are subconsciously a signal of fertility to men, which is why men are attracted to them (they are actually attracted to fertility without realizing it). So maybe men really are intrinsically attracted to boobs?
I think it interesting that no other primate has a permanently 'developed' breast. All will enlarge when lactating, but only humans have enlarged breasts the rest of the time.
That suggests they are *also* there for another reason. And the most obvious reason is as a fertility or sexual display. And that would suggest that for human males, some degree of attraction is just part of being a human male.
Now, the most obvious reason doesn't have to be correct, but the evidence does seem to point this direction.
