Are It Sexual For Girls To Show Their Breasts?
34 Answers
I'm a boy. Boys can show their nipples but girls can't. But can't girls show the part of the stomach that is the breasts either whitout it being sexual? If i draw a girl character that shows the breasts it's her design but does it make her have a sexual design or personality? Why can boys show that part of the stomach whitout it being sexual? If another character wear less clothes on the legs and another character wear less clothes on the head i draw another character with less clothes on the stomach for varition. But does that make that character more sexual or make her more girly? then the others if her personality isn't and i should draw clothes on the breasts if i want to not draw sexual designs?

There are still some areas of the world where women dress the same as men and do not cover up their breasts...and in many parts of the western world women do sunbathe topless. Why are women not allowed, generally, to walk around topless in the summer? An attitude to be investigated...I suspect that men found breasts to be a bit of a turn on for them so decided they did not want their wives and daughters being ogled at by other men and so breasts became covered up ... and men found them even more alluring as they couldn't be see but imagination became a turn on.
I screwed up the question and you can't edit it after you asked it. Becuase i don't want to read answers to a question i spelled wrong i don't read the answers asked before this answer.

Its ok, we understood you the first time.
Here's Terry Pratchett's view....he know LOADS about fantasy characters.
"In fact, the hero, even at this moment galloping towards the Vortex Plains, didn’t get involved in this kind of argument because they didn’t take it seriously but mainly because this particular hero was a heroine. A red-headed one. Now, there is a tendency at a point like this to look over one’s shoulder at the cover artist and start going on at length about leather, thighboots and naked blades. Words like ‘full’, ‘round’ and even ‘pert’ creep into the narrative, until the writer has to go and have a cold shower and a lie down.
Which is all rather silly, because any woman setting out to make a living by the sword isn’t about to go around looking like something off the cover of the more advanced kind of lingerie catalogue for the specialized buyer. Oh well, all right. The point that must be made is that although Herrena the Henna-Haired Harridan would look quite stunning after a good bath, a heavy-duty manicure, and the pick of the leather racks in Woo Hun Ling’s Oriental Exotica and Martial Aids on Heroes Street, she was currently quite sensibly dressed in light chain mail, soft boots, and a short sword. All right, maybe the boots were leather. But not black."

Not really sure why you are asking the question? Do you want to draw half naked ladies and call it art...cos if so...
"officers. D’you know much about art, Nobby?’ ‘If necessary, sarge.’ ‘Oh, come on, Nobby!’ ‘What? Tawneee says what she does is Art, sarge. And she wears more clothes than a lot of the women on the walls around here, so why be sniffy about it?’ ‘Yeah, but . . .’ Fred Colon hesitated here. He knew in his heart that spinning upside down around a pole wearing a costume you could floss with definitely was not Art, and being painted lying on a bed wearing nothing but a smile and a small bunch of grapes was good solid Art, but putting your finger on why this was the case was a bit tricky. ‘No urns,’ he said at last. ‘What urns?’ said Nobby. ‘Nude women are only Art if there’s an urn in it,’ said Fred Colon. This sounded a bit weak even to him, so he added, ‘or a plinth. Both is best, o’course. It’s a secret sign, see, that they put in to say that it’s Art and okay to look at.’ ‘What about a potted plant?’ ‘That’s okay if it’s in an urn.’ ‘What about if it’s not got an urn or a plinth or a potted plant?’ said Nobby. ‘Have you one in mind, Nobby?’ said Colon suspiciously. ‘Yes, The Goddess Anoia Arising from the Cutlery,’ said Nobby. ‘They’ve got it here. It was painted by a bloke with three i’s in his name, which sounds pretty artistic to me.’ ‘The number of i’s is important, Nobby,’ said Sergeant Colon gravely, ‘but in these situations you have to ask yourself: where’s the cherub? If there’s a little fat pink kid holding a mirror or a fan or similar, then it’s still okay. Even if he’s grinning. Obviously you can’t get urns everywhere.’ ‘All right, but supposing—’ Nobby began."

Just add an urn or a plinth or a cherub and you are good to go.
PS For those who don't know Tawnee is a pole dancer....a good one!

FolViderox...first of all, the breast and stomach are 2 completely different areas of the body. Therefore you may have confused some of the people answering your question.
Whether or not breasts are seen as sexual may depend on several things...the culture you come from, how the breasts are displayed, who is viewing them, what is the response you want when you draw them. If this is for a cartoon or animation, in my limited knowledge bare breasts are usually sexual.

As others have pointed out, it certainly depends on the culture people are brought up in. For example, among a lot of Muslims it is regarded as provocative for women's hair to be visible, never mind skin of any locations and certainly not breasts. In other countries/cultures women routinely walk around bare breasted and the public hardly notices, if at all. You get everything in between plus some strange additional variations. For example, I once witnessed a situation where members of a group were about to enter a celebrated natural pool. These people were foreign visitors to the pool in question. The men went to the male changing rooms the same way both foreign and native male visitors did but the women were distinctly different. Some women insisted on taking their hiking boots with them into the female changing/shower rooms - designated footwear racks were provided for everyone and it was intended that they be used. One or two women decided not to go in at all because in the female changing/shower rooms they would have to shower naked in front of other naked women (male arrangement similar). The group in question was British and I overheard the guide saying to someone that the British are not like other people, from which I judged there this is known as a particularly British behaviour. I recall a friend from the country concerned telling me how he went with a friend to a swimming pool in the UK and both showered naked (they don't ever wear clothes when washing, certainly not when about to go into water which others use). They were admonished by a member of staff and told to get some clothes on at once. This is a cultural difference regarding hygiene - for them you wash to clean yourself, others regard wetting your clothing as equivalent to cleaning. Other differences are based on less tangible concepts such as "morality", religion, etc.
