I was just reading an article of the perceptions of breasts and a part said that when toddlers, boys or girls, try to look at their mothers breasts, or touch them, the mother is uneasy and stops the child. Which then results in the mystery behind breasts and they end up being looked at as a sexual object rather than a woman's natural beauty (sort of like the way the genitals are a mystery thing). So the article says to let your child explore and ask questions and learn, so they have a better understanding of what breasts should be perceived as. So my question is, would you let your toddler 'explore' yours for the purpose of teaching and allowing them to learn?
The point of the article I read was so that children grow up knowing that breasts serve a purpose (breastfeeding) rather then a set of boobs for guys to fondle. When a little kid grows up not being allowed to look at a real pair of breasts whether it be witnessing someone breastfeed or their mothers showing them the anatomy, they think of them as something they're not allowed to touch so it makes it more fun and sexual. Which is what breasts shouldn't be portrayed as.
