Men and woman were put on the earth to procreate. Whether they decide to or not's irrelevant. Nature not only gave fuller breasts to women so that they can feed their young, but for sexual attraction.
In tribal communities, bare-breasted women aren't seen as anything special, but their attractiveness in other ways is. I watched a fascinating documentary about this. The menfolk were attracted by the feminine adornments that they wore, and the women liked men whose skin'd been pierced and patterned, so different societies have a different slant on what looks sexy and inviting.
If us women all walked around showing our breasts off, eventually, the novelty'd wear off. It is, as Gary says, still a relatively new thing, in that if a woman exposes parts of her body which're usually hidden, it's bound to make people look, and bound to cause arousal in some men, simply because they're privvy to seeing something "different" and not hidden away.
However, if you wander onto a beach full of topless women, the looks might still occur, but no one really takes too much notice, because it's en masse. I've been on a naturist beach, and no one took any notice of the next person. Whole families were walking around naked, which felt uncomfortable at first, but a few hours later, it just seemed like the most natural state to be in, because it wasn't "horrible" or "sexy" - it was just bodies as nature intended.
You'll always get people - males and females - who view all nudity with a sexual connotation, but again, if it was there all the time, I think much of it'd disappear. It's not just bare boobs which attract. A feminine shape, full stop, is there for a purpose. The hour-glass figure is still the most desirable shape for the majority of men (although not all), but by flaunting it, the women make themselves appear "available". In many respects, you can't blame men for looking and wanting, and I don't agree with feminists who say that we should be able to walk around dressed how we like without the chance of being groped or worse. Yes, we SHOULD be able to, but the fact is, it draws the wrong sort of attention, and men sometimes lose control.
I'm not a prude. If I see a female who's showing it all off, I don't tut-tut and make snide remarks. I can say to my husband if a woman has a good figure or looks nice, and there's no jealousy connected at all, but I sometimes think that us women're our own worst enemy. Many think that this's all that men're after, and deliberately show off their attributes, but come the end of the day, they're usually the ones who're left on their own, older and desperate.
