Is there a society where they are non-sexualised all the time? I know in plenty of cultures it's no big thing for women to not cover their breasts (it seems to be the norm in warm, nomadic cultures), but the ones I know enough to know about there's still a sexual element to them. But that's also wrapped up in the whole fertility element. Sex and breasts are both linked to reproduction, so there's a sexual element to breasts from that. The big difference with our culture is that we've managed to de-link sex from reproduction so the relationship between sex-reproduction-breasts has been broken, which makes everything much more confusing.

Just interested if you know anything specifically, I'm not trying to call bullshit or anything, I study anthropology for fun.
