== Custom, Taboo, and Nudity  ==

Breasts are a conspicuous physical difference between men and women, and as such have an association with sexuality. Attitudes toward their public exposure vary with time and place. In the United States, they almost define the borderline of what is permissible; in general, exposure of a woman's nipples is taboo (and illegal) except in the context of breastfeeding.

Clothing that fits tightly around the neck and de-emphasizes the separation and softness of the breasts is considered modest or conservative, clothing that does the opposite is considered "daring."

The Bible mentions breasts both in connection with infant feeding, e.g. Psalms 23:9 "But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts," and sensuality, in the Song of Solomon.
