Arousal and female breasts?

Are men aroused by breasts because of "instinct" or is it a learned cultural response. I seem to think it's instinct, because I remember responding to them very early. Other people tell me it's cultural and society has sexualized female breasts. Any sources for an answer?

    I always felt it had to do with the fact that breastfeeding was the natural way for children to sustain themselves in the first couple of years of life, so a sort of "bond" is formed which manifests itself in a fondness for breasts. Also, many women are sensitive there, especially in their nipples, in a way that is similar to the sensitivity in the genitals (so as to be aroused), and any man wishing to arouse his wife would naturally go there. As far as what happens to a man, I can't imagine one NOT being aroused by exposed breasts! I guess if bare breasts were commonplace here like it is in some of the native African cultures, then it might lose its potency, especially since constantly bare breasts tend to lose something to gravity due to lack of support!

    All I know is that I'm naturally attracted to a naked woman with her breasts all burgeoning and all that! Something within me! Can't help it!

    When I was I don't remember liking them for anything but that they were taboo. It was how they felt that got me hooked.
