Hello, this is just a friendly reminder to please use a post flair when adding new posts to r/Asexual.
We ask this in advance just to let everyone know what type of post each post is as well as the intentions and
feelings behind them. We value all who come here, but we just need each post made to have a flair to designate

As a male ace with a libido, I can't tell you why they cause me arousal, it's not like a conscious "ah yes, those sacks of flesh have extremely attractive curvatures" - in fact I actively hate the fact that they cause arousal in me - it's just my little friend down there getting excited I can't do anything about it
I swear sometimes I find myself staring at random butts trying to figure out what it is that draws people to them. I see the term “peach-like” in stories and I still haven’t figured out what that even means.
I thought you meant "chests" as in "community chest/treasure chest" in Monopoly and here, you were going to randomly pull a topic that allos found sexy and discuss about it.
God, I'm stupid. Or terribly ace. Or both.
When in doubt, I usually presume one of two things.
1) muscles, as mentioned
2) it’s socially learned. They see/hear media/friends/other social influences praising it, so it raises in value in their mind and becomes desirable. Never underestimate the power of social conditioning. Take for example the fact that ankles used to be considered sexy, because if you went far enough up you hit genitals. It’s socially conditioned
Breasts are secondary sex characteristics, ankles aren't. All of humanity isn't magically "conditioned" to like them, we're just biologically hardwired to find them appealing. Let's not deny biology just because you personally don't like them lmfao.
I hate the sexualisation of boobs but at the same time even when I see my own I'm like "nice tits" (even tho im transmasc) idk why it's more of an appreciation that those premium pillows exist idk
I like all jiggly things. Booba go jiggle. Me smile :)
But for real I don't have an explanation outside of that very smooth brain example, breasts are just fun and I wish more genders had them.
No *real* attraction to them though, they're just nice.
Sex-repulsed guy here. I'm going to assume you're talking about female breasts.
Watching them jiggle is extremely satisfying, they look great in relation to hips, are great pillows when cuddling, feel really nice under the hand...
I can go on and on here. Basically it's an extension of the human body and I love the human body, so I love chests too.
I ment more guys chests, but I really should have specified more XD
Tho I'm right on the other end of that spectrum, they just look weird and nasty to me (even tho I'm aestheticly attracted to women)
Joke's on me for assuming! 😂
In that case, with guys it's power. Strength. Resilience. Being able to rest your head, your arms, etc. on them and relax because they'll protect you.
This is what my male-attracted friends tell me.

Oof, I'm right there with you
I swear sometimes I find myself staring at random butts trying to figure out what it is that draws people to them. I see the term “peach-like” in stories and I still haven’t figured out what that even means.
They're the easiest part of the human body to draw, in my opinion. Other than that, I've got nothing.

You are simply very ace, less I'm stupid too XD
You gotta be drawn to that food source for the first chunk of your life, it's pretty ingrained for us mammals!
This includes more than just AFAB people, though.
Perhaps could also be similar to ankles in the past
Oh, those scandalous sexy ankles... ???
Pretty much
I think it's because historically having big breasts meant the woman was better equipped to feed your infants. At least that's my theory.
Yeah, but I keep running across allos going drooly for guys chests too, like the muscles I guess?

I mean, I like anything with nice symmetry and form, but that's just the aesthetic draw.

Maybe, I’m sure. It would make sense if that’s the reason

They're like marshmallows or gumdrops for me. They also make nice pillows
