  • You are 100% correct.

    I think OP agrees with you too, but the question is more around the “why”. Once, we were also like animals, and didn’t have clothing. To the animal brain, things like large breasts or wide hips means better reproduction. Did we start to cover up because it was cold and we got sick? It makes more sense to me that we started for practical reasons, and the hyper-sexualization came later, probably with religion.

    Today, women are sexualized to an insane degree, and expanded to any number of inane body parts and not just breasts.

    I think OPs question could also be phrased as “why did sex become so taboo?” And we might get a broader picture.

    Excerpt from the History channel:

    So much static electricity built up between the ground and airborne dust that blue flames leaped from barbed wire fences and well-wishers shaking hands could generate a spark so powerful it could knock them to the ground. Since static electricity could short out engines and car radios, motorists driving through dust storms dragged chains from behind their automobiles to ground their cars.
