i spend a lot of time thinking about things like this. another good example - female breasts. some how, they turn men on. is it a cultural thing? is it instinct? there's a quote, "the only intuitive interface is the nipple - everything else is learned." so obviously the need to feed (on a nipple, as children) is instinct. but what about our fascination with breasts? why do they turn us on? what's different about touching a woman's chest instead of her hand or shoulder? is it learned, or instinct?
