| On the lighter side, research reveals... It is, perhaps literally, a no-brainer. Most men like looking at naked breasts. Many women wonder why. Those in the business of making money out of mammaries are happy to exploit the mystery. Take Jo Hanna, the 50-something female manager of a South Auckland bar which ignited a brouhaha by introducing topless waitresses on Thursday nights. Waitresses at Jo's Place, in a suburban shopping centre, have taken off their tops since March. Councillors have denounced the stunt as "tacky and demeaning", and inappropriate for a shopping centre. "Excuse me," says an unrepentant Hanna, "but we are now getting naked newsreaders. What about all the pole-dancing bars in the USA? It's everywhere. We're not breaking the law. These girls aren't getting mauled or pawed. Okay, they're getting ogled, but nothing untoward goes on. It's just a gimmick to get patrons to come in." And it's working: turnover has trebled. Over at Alt TV, station managers are planning to welcome thousands of new viewers when their Naked News show starts this month. Why, if half the population has them, are naked breasts still such a sought-after commercial commodity? "It's primitive, instinctual, we're never going to change it," says Hanna, who adds her waitresses come in all shapes and sizes and are welcomed equally by her male clients. "Men just appreciate being able to freely ogle the girls." She's right, says Canterbury University social psychologist Garth Fletcher. The sex appeal of breasts has an innate, biological basis. |
