Breast fetishism is a raised sexual interest in the female breasts, their shape, movement, and especially their breast size.
Breast fetishism is the most common sexual fetish among men.
Although this is the norm in Western society, this preference might become problematic when it develops into a strong fixation and becomes the only means of sexual arousal.
What's in a breast? That depends on who's asking.
Men see sex. Doctors see disease. Businesspeople see dollar signs." Breasts have been denounced as wanton, or idealized as givers of power or life in images of Egyptian goddess Isis nursing pharoahs; sturdy, maternal Mother Russia; or the more eroticized, bare-breasted symbol of republican ideals in France.
Psychologists, religious leaders, advertisers, and pornographers have rhapsodized over, vilified, and used breasts to sell everything from war to Cadillacs. And, finally, women have seen in them pleasure, power, sustenance, fear, or failure to measure up.
This book describes and explores our national breast fetish, which is defined as a culturally constructed obsession that is deeply interwoven with beauty standards, breastfeeding practices, and sexuality.

Human beings grow up bearing the imprint of the breast they knew in infancy - whatever that breast or surrogate breast was.
And the breast they peek at or yearn for in adolescence, the breast they encounter in lovemaking, the breast they see in the movies or on individuals walking by on the streets-all these breasts will become entwined with feelings so deep they are felt as fact.
On some level, our feelings about breasts will always mingle with our sense of how we are fed, how we are nourished by life, and whether the world is a place we can trust.
Breasts carry so much cultural weight that they often do not function as well as they might. Our sex lives are sensitive and telling parts of us, a little like our dream lives.
In our dreams, wonderful and horrible things happen. It is the time when monsters come out, or we can suddenly fly.
For some women, breast carry unconscious memories that stretch back to birth and span the breadth of adulthood, with a history that seems to enrich their erotic lives.
But for too many, the monsters are grumbling in the background, and when a lover touches their breasts, the women wince in pain.
