Why do men love breasts?

Why are we not surprised when we found out that almost half of our male counterparts (47 % that is) will look at a woman's breasts before looking at her face, and will look at them longer than any other body part. (Can someone tell me why do we take so long to do our face make up everyday?)


Apparently, regardless of its shape and size, men just adore them in a very special way. Breasts hold an allure for men that is unmatched by any other part of our body.  They like to touch them. They like to put their mouth on them. They like to use them as pillows. 




They like to stare at them.



Just think about how close to eye level breasts really are. You just need to look a few degrees lower than a girl’s eyes, and TAAADDDAAAAA!!!!


So why? Why are men so obsessed with breasts?


We investigate further for some reasons from men around us: 


Men are visual creatures
Unlike women, who can be aroused by simply reading a single passage in a romantic novel, men require visual stimulation. It's almost natural that breasts, raised and perky as they often are, receive those obsessive attention. After all, breasts are a woman's most well-defined physical feature.


Some men find breasts calming


In a world full of hard knocks and harder realities, breasts are soft, welcoming and non-
threatening. With the obvious connection to breastfeeding, and by extension childhood, 
breasts remind men of those days when their mothers protected them from all the world's 
evils. Sounds almost therapeutic... 



Breasts are a symbol of fertility


Whether they are A-cups or Z-cups, breasts define femininity in the same way that channel surfing and the fantasy of driving a sports car define masculinity. Breast reminds us about a woman's ability to nurture and sustain life.  We subconsciously select partners who appear capable of reproduction. Men are naturally attracted to dabomb because they are indicative of a strong constitution and an ability to further propagate the species. Although reproduction is no longer our top priority, this instinct remains deeply buried in men's blood despite centuries of evolution

Societal pressure
Clearly, it's not all a matter of biology, humans are the only animals who include breast fondling as part of the mating process. The primary reason attibuted to the society,  Pick up any magazine, from Shape to even FHM, and you're bound to see more cleavage than in the Grand Canyon. The same is true of bus ads, fashion catalogs and every other marketing avenues.








Breasts have the allure of taboo
We always want that which we cannot have, and in that regard, breasts are the ultimate forbidden fruit. More often than not, breasts are always covered and that means men are not supposed to see it. The erotic allure of breasts kept under wraps makes men want to see it even more!.



Brain teaser:


Q:What do model cars and women's breasts have in common?
                                
                              
A: Both are intended for children, but it's the fathers that always end up playing with them.




Well, Ladies we found an ultimate solution to keep their eyes on our faces!

TLC for your Lingerie.


One of the most prized possessions of a woman is her lingerie. In order to keep those delicate fabrics looking pretty and maximizing the wearable life of your lingerie.  

Here are some simple guidelines to keep your lingerie fresh, clean and happy. J

WASHING


1. For the real lingerie lover: Hand wash!

Step 1: Fill sink with cold water and mild detergent.

Step 2: Gently rub your lingerie using your hands and soak for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Gently squeeze suds through items and rinse with more cold water.







Did you know?
  • Hot washing could shrink your satin lingerie by 10-20% in size.
  • Regular “harmless-looking” detergent contains harsh chemicals which destroy your lingerie. 
  • Wringing out your lingerie ruins its shape and leaves unsightly stubborn creases.


2. For the busy woman: Bag it!
If you have a thousand things on your to-do list, you could rely on your washing machine to do the job.

Step 1: Ensure that the hooks and eyes are clasped properly to avoid tangling, snagging or damaging of the material.

Step 2: Place them in a lingerie laundry bag and zip it!

Step 3: Set to “delicate” wash mode on machine.



DRYING

Rule of the thumb: ALWAYS line dry. NEVER use machine dryer.

Keep your lingerie away from sunlight to avoid fading.




Did you know?
Even heat from the lowest setting of your dryer will break down the elasticity of your lingerie, shortening the lifespan considerably.




STORING
After drying, allow it to rest a day in your drawer, before wearing it again. It will use that time to reform to its original shape, volume and texture.

Always store your intimate apparel in a drawer.

Never hang them in your closet as the weight of the garment itself will cause the fabric to lose its elasticity. 

Most lingerie material is supposed to stretch, to contour to your body shape in some way. By hanging, that material is being constantly pre-stretched and may not bring out the best in you.


Gentle Reminders:
Wash colors separately.
Do not bleach lingerie.
Read the label. If it says “Dry Clean Only”, there is a reason.


We hope you have benefited from this post ...
