Why are we obsessed with the size of women's breasts in our culture, and how do we snap out of it ? What are some examples of other obsessions that various cultures have had toward females ?

Everything now days revolves around sex.. It's disgusting! and Why?
I think it has to do with the fact that now for the first time in history is it ok and is completely excepted for ppl to "pleasure" themselves without considering the importance of it. And not having to commit to another.. they are "just having fun"
Personally I see sex as a human phenomenon. Private areas should be viewed as something special.. Nowhere else can your body join with another to create a life or to feel in perfectly in place with someone else.
I think our culture's abuse and disrespect for other humans as well as themselves is what is ultimately turning America into the perverted society that it has become.
Unfortunately this is what the media, stores, commercials, car dealerships etc is using to make their millions. They've decided to feed the American urge to be pleasured- instead of trying to turn us back to a moral society.

Various cultures such as Moslem and Victorian England covered females but the obsession with females remained.

Blame it on our mothers.... They didn't enough "breasting"
with the little boy... From my opinion a big breast or big "boobs" are not that important... it is better if the girl has a beautiful small breast and nice nipples... I kiss and suck. Size doesn't matter in any case. Believe me, it is just for the record, but BIG SIZE has nothing to do with class and quality. To me girls and boys with "King Size" seem to be very very sick. And I do not help them. I just enjoy MY STYLE... That's all: Aaron.

Don't asian cultures value subservient women with small feet? Don't african cultures value voluptious women? Don't middle-eastern cultures value subservient women? Don't eurpoean cultures value less inhibited women?
What I don't know much about (but would like to) are the different trends and expectations men have had to endure over time. It doesn't seem like they have had such drastic changes as women have....

Actually, its called marketing explitation and the underlying cause is it is used in the hyper-consumer and materialistic world that most people pursue. I think women & womens breasts are beautiful but should not be exploited.

I believe that is a great question! Look we all want to be accepted and to achieve that, the media says we must look like pin-ups to be appreciated and loved so that is what desireable. I guess 2 snap out of it, we would have to focus more on the inside and not so much on looks.

Media playing mind games with both sexes just to make a buck.
It is a shame because we all want to be respected for who we are and no I am not raisins either.

obsession stems from our primal instincts to mate. breasts = mammary glands = fertility. its implanted (no pun intended) deep within our primal instincts to be attracted to fertility and reproductive features. Since we are instinctually attracted to them, they are exploited for marketing purposes to make money, which messes with your mind and makes you want them more.
