The Allure of Big Breasts

John Travolta loves big breasts. Jessica Simpson is proud of hers. And evolutionists are going crazy figuring out why females have them in the first place.

Indeed, for most men, no other subject remains as fascinating as the breasts. Women are constantly worried that they aren’t too big or don’t look right while the majority of men fantasize about them.

Even evolutionists have joined the fray, debating on the origins of big breasts. Why some women have them and others don’t remains a mystery but theories abound ranging from genetics, age, weight gain, and hormonal influences.

Of course, breast size depends largely on the amount of fat you have but no one knows for sure why some women are blessed with more fat in that area than others. Dr. Leonard Shlain, a San Francisco surgeon and author of “Sex, Time and Power: How Women’s Sexuality Shaped Human Evolution” has as an interesting hypothesis. He believes breasts evolved as our ancestors shifted from doggie style lovemaking to the missionary position.

In the old days, Shlain said men chose their partners based on the size of their butts. The bigger they were, the better. As man evolved, so did his sexual preferences. The change from doggie style sex to the face-to-face position supposedly paved the way for the development of the female breasts. The latter assumed the role of the buttocks in attracting the male species.

But others aren’t buying that explanation, especially since not all cultures view breasts as sex objects. University of Washington psychology professor David Barash believes our forefathers were fooled into thinking that big breasts meant more milk and a greater ability to nurse kids and propagate the species. In return for the survival of the human race, the men showered their busty beauties with food, attention, and sex. That would probably explain the “special” attention women with big breasts get to this day.

Among their many admirers is American actor John Travolta who likes big breasts and isn’t ashamed to admit it. At the premiere of his film “Hairspray” Travolta said the thing he admires most in women are big breasts. Gene Simmons, the long-tongued Kiss vocalist, shares Travolta’s taste. At a fashion show for big ladies in New York City, Simmons said breasts “make the world go ‘round.” He added that “women need to understand this, and show us their breasts more often.”

If the figures are correct, a lot of women seem to agree with Simmons. Last year, there were over 300,000 breast augmentation procedures in the United States alone, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The number of American women with fake breasts is now over 2 million.

Sadly, not everyone can avail of this major procedure owing to the expenses and the risks involved. A lot of women who have undergone breast augmentation also aren’t satisfied with the results and return to their doctors either for a size adjustment or to have their breast implants removed altogether.

For women who are unhappy with their small breasts but are afraid of surgery, there is another option: the Clevastin natural breast enlargement system. This unique herbal formula combines the power of Clevastin capsules that contain the highest concentration of plant estrogen to stimulate breast growth and the Clevastin topical cream-gel to accelerate results.
