I'm going to have to disagree with you on the sexual part. And from an -ogical perspective to boot.
Humans don't have an overt period of estrus to count on to aid in reproduction. We've evolved (boo, hiss...) into having a constant low level state of receptiveness instead. The human body's cues for who the best mate would be are keyed to several fractors: for attractiveness in females it's roughly hips, breasts, and symmetry and for men it's roughly physical prowess (size, apparent strength) and symmetry. These are only rough approximations, I'm working from memory here. After that, our neocortex is what helps us carry the rest to extremes or to learn to base it on other factors such as the unisex pecuniary prowess.
So there you go, boobs rule.
