Breasts are sexual in nature and not sexualized by culture. But then so are lips, and pretty much everything else. What culture does is decide just how much sexual symbols are allowed to be shown.
I'm not sure about that. If we were born and raised in a society where where women are topless in public as much as men, ...[text shortened]... ize something is to keep it covered up; if we were nude more often, the mystery would dissipate.[/b]

Spend a couple of weeks on a nudist beach and you wont blink an eye at a pair of boobs.
