It's been striking me lately, the contradiction between the concurrent messages put forth by society about breasts... that they are beautiful, and that most people really like having them or looking at them or touching them, while at the same time that they are obscene and porn-ful and indecent and slutty, and must be covered up and hidden.
It also seems ironic that babies are allowed to look at them and suck on them, but that older children must be "protected" from the sight of them.
