How did humans evolve breasts?

The Benefits of Permanent Breasts Some claimed evolution favored “pendulous” breasts — as scientists dryly describe them — because they gave babies something to cling to like handle bars. Others suggested permanent breasts evolved as an energy reserve, lumps of fat to be tapped when food is scarce.

Are animals attracted to boobs?

Not sexually attracted, like humans are. I’ve noticed though that most baby mammals seem to sense mammary tissue. All mammalian infants are automatically drawn to the breasts of their mother.

How sensitive are women’s breasts?

Sensitivity can vary quite a bit from woman to woman, with smaller breasts on average being more sensitive than larger breasts. Also, when there is breast surgery, sensitivity can be impaired — either reduced or almost eliminated completely.

Can males produce milk?

Yes, in theory, men can breastfeed. Male breasts have milk ducts, and some mammary tissue. There have been reports of men who were able to produce milk through extensive breast and nipple stimulation, but no one knows whether the milk was of the same composition or quality as the kind women produce.

No mention of pleasure just sheer use of nourishing infants. All female mammals develop Breasts but only the human female keeps hers throughout her lifetime while the others only develop them when they are pregnant. Again sheer purpose is nourishing infants.

Are breasts sexually selected in mammals?

There are no other mammals in which breasts are sexually selected. It just makes sense that in our deep evolutionary past we really needed those extra few percentages of fat, and breasts gave us a place to put that, and really helped gestate and lactate the human infant, which has these unique fat requirements.
