Breasts: The Women's Perspective on an American Obsession describes and explores national breast fetish, which is defined as a culturally constructed obsession that is deeply interwoven with beauty standards, breast-feeding practices, and sexuality. By tracing the complex history of this erotic fascination and discovering how it affects men's and women's sexuality and their relationships, this book will help women accept their breasts as they are and provide male readers with insight into how women think and feel about their bodies. Proving breasts have a venerable history, this book urges readers to see beyond the contemporary standards of visual perfection that surround this fetish.
