[[Evolution]]ists have suggested that the development of large breasts originally came about by men selecting mates whose breasts were slightly swollen to indicate their fertility; consequently large-breasted women were disproportionately popular as sexual partners, and their genes for large-breastedness were thus favoured for transmission to future generations. Today, many women undergo [[cosmetic surgery]] enhancing their breast size (and their imagined [[sex appeal]]) to unnatural levels.
