Course it's bookmarking. I've already said all I'm about to on this thread for now but it doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped lurking.

I hope you don't all mind me doing what comes naturally to me.
I usually end up replying to the first post in a thread when there are hundreds following it, so here goes.
I have a simple answer to most of life's difficult questions and it is based on the classic reason for climbing mountains. Asked "why do fools fall in love?", i reply "because they are fools".
So: the male fascination for breasts is "because they are there".
The question of size is equally summed up as "because thats the size they are".
The human female form is the (almost*) perfect solution to the problem of making sure the human race doesn't die out too soon. It/She provides a temptation that the male cannot resist. And men, as we know only too well, epitomise the "Form Over Substance" theory - they are part of the collective noun known as mugs. And they ensure by their persistant interest in things anatomical that there is indeed "one born every minute"
*to perfect the design requires eyes in the toes so that we do not walk over a cliff while viewing the aforementioned subject of this thread, the object of desire. But that is another matter altoegether(sic).

A good an interesting point, rather well argued I thought.

Don't want to be pedantic, but most other things are also "there" so as a reason for something specific, ie
completely off the top of my head here,
a fascination with breasts,
its not a very thorough argument.
maybee it varys with the amount of "insert metaphore here" present?

Hence, the mention of drink, which seems to be a popular discussion topic!!!
