17. If I understand his theory correctly

Sat Jun 22, 2013, 06:32 PM

Jun 2013

is that children of either sex benefit from the mother's biochemistry that helps creates the mother-child nurturing bond. All that's suggested here is that evolution has apparently used/hijacked that same chemistry to strengthen the bond between straight adult males and their partners. It's not simply saying boys learned to like breasts as an infant. It's just evolution finding a dual purpose for something, if I'm understanding it correctly. I don't know what is implied for same-sex bonds. Is it unique to males once puberty kicks in? Don't know and there's no doubt it's complex as there is certainly more going on than simply chemistry.

ELAINE: I never knew you were so into breasts. I thought you were a leg man.
JERRY: A leg man? Why would I be a leg man? I don't need legs. I have legs.
