We had a torrid poetry filled love affair on the old History Channel forum.
(We were pretending to be 2 other posters. Great
fun was had by all...except for those 2 other posters.)
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Why is it that if a woman shows some (ok, in my case a lot) of cleavage she is considered to be a ****. Why is showing what God has given (yes mine are God given) a woman looked at as such a bad thing. I have had larger than normal boobs since my teens so believe me I have hear all of the comments so feel free to speak openly. Have a great Saturday night and I hope to hear from you.
It all comes down to the person. I've seen a LOT of naked people in my lifetime. For me it's not a really big deal because it's normalized for me so I don't have the kind of excitement as the person who hasn't seen too many naked people.

When I see cleavage it tells me a woman is proud of who she is more than thinking she is a loosy Lucy.

Of course I'm from an older generation that is not too hung up over some exposed cleavage, still, it does put a smile on my face and I thinks it makes for a nicer world.

These social norms apparently goes in cycles it seems from generation to generation.

I'd have to disagree. All mammals breastfeed,
Well, almost all. Monotremes, the duckbilled platypuses and echidnas, lack breasts and nipples, and secrete their milk from modified sweat glands on to their belly fur, from where the young lap it up.

but hominins are the only mammals with actual breasts.
I would qualify that by saying they are the only primate mammal with actual breasts even when they aren't breastfeeding. Don't forget cow's breasts and nipples, better known as udders and teats, which remain prominent even when not feeding their young.

This leads me to believe they're a secondary sex feature, like noses.
Noses are a secondary sex feature? Okay. To each his own.

Secondary sexual features are common in primates.
This is relatively recent, culturally, and is culturally variable even today.
Interesting. Go a source for this?

Modesty is in the eye of the beholder, and has to be taught. What's immodest in one culture is modest in another. Who's to decide?
ME! I get to decide. At least for my culture; the uptight Americans who have been bamboozled by sexually repressed and repressive Christian fundies.

I suppose I wear low cut tops because I can't go topless LOL My husband said I should go topless on this thread

I learned something about myself at a Club Med with a topless beach. The first day, I was distracted. By the second day, I could barely be bothered to look up from my book. The thrill doesn't last too long unless they're covered up now and again.

I'd have to disagree. All mammals breastfeed

Not to bust your b***s, but you reminded me of a scene from the Focker's sequel
