I hope i don't get downvoted for this

Even the researchers behind the study say, “I want to stress this finding is not final.” That should tell you something.
The sample size is small and limited to a single cultural group. Meanwhile, we’ve got plenty of anthropological evidence showing that in many societies where breasts are regularly exposed, they’re not treated as sexually arousing. So no, this study doesn’t magically override decades of cross-cultural data.
That said, the idea that breasts signal health or fertility? Sure, obviously. Just like wide hips, clear skin, or symmetrical faces. But biological relevance doesn’t automatically make something a fetish object. We don’t jerk off to white blood cell counts.
And yeah, obesity isn't typically seen as attractive because it signals potential health risks (dont cross post this on tumblr).
The study is interesting, but it doesn’t prove breasts are inherently sexual. It just adds a datapoint to a complex picture where biology and culture play roles.
It's why obese people aren't considered attractive
If you look up the definition of what is considered "obese" for your height, I think you'd find this is largely false.

I'm not surprised since your OP is boilerplate nudist justification and not really any exploration of paraphilia.
I think there's a mile in between puritanical shame and thinking the body isn't and shouldn't be considered sexual and is fit for public consumption. Why is it important to desexualize the human body? What's the benefit?
Gives people the choice whether they want to be sexualized or no. Like you shouldn't have to wear a giant form-disguising hoodie just to keep from being ogled.

This doesn't work.
If it were only about novelty, then why aren't there more bellybutton fetishes?
Being a fetish-having person, I can tell you there there is more than just an attraction to the object of your desire. It is a primal, deep, uncontrollable NEED to see or touch the object.
I am not a foot fetishist, so I do not presume to know the intimate details of what they like, but I can promise you, it has nothing to do with novelty. Fetishes have so many variants also; there are foot fetishes, sock fetishes, feet squishing stuff, toenail paint things, some want a footjob, some want to lick them or suck on toes, some people like big feet, small feet, the list goes on and on.
Maybe read just a tiny bit? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_fetishism#Cause
Welll for one, giving your partner a foot massage usually ends up in them feeling better. Nobody does that with belly buttons.

Not everyone's nipples are sensitive FYI.
And some people are asexual, doesn't mean that most people aren't.

Idk man, I love touching my friend's feet
My cat's paws I mean (My cat is my friend)
I can only touch it for like 1 second and quickly retreat. It's tempting to touch it for longer, but it's risky (I can get PAW'ed; aka: she swings the paws at me)

Yeah I'm grateful I'm just into normal things like pain
we like the pain
we like the pain -

What's up with that. Why would you walk through piles of corpses barefoot.
The feeling bro! It’s better than touching grass.
Kudos to the players using the swimsuit skin during the Dualiste fight.

yeah that's how being an organic being works, some people will always differ from the norm, that doesn't really.. mean anything?

I mean sure, you do you. If everyone wore gloves in a parallel timeline, you'd probably want chin scratches.
nah, i have somewhat of a hand fetish and it has nothing to do with how hidden or not they are, i just think hands are inherently attractive if they look nice and feminine. Also big part of it is how sensitive the fingertips are, touching sensitive parts is just always gonna be nice.

So many possibilities just flushed down the toilet...

aww this looked so much funnier when I thought the flap over the face was a beak, the face was a malformed turkey wattle, and the ear a mostly lidded eye. Looks like such a derpy bird that way, but nooo it has to be a human face!

Though it begs the question: if nudity became normalized, then what would be novel?
Not an sexologist or even a sexy anthropologist, but my intuition is that aesthetic attraction would always be a factor (since it doesn't rely on sexual attraction), and that acting in a sexually provocative would be the way to provoke the horny gaze.
It might be nice to have less sexualization of people just be virtue of their existing in a sexualized body. That's the dream, anyway.
I would phrase that near-last sentiment, "...in a sexy body." instead. No one should be oggled simply for being sexy, but if they are sexualizing themselves, (like dressing up for a night club) I'd argue that can indicate a desire to be oggled. They still should not be objectified, but when someone is trying to look sexy, I bet most people would be disappointed to get zero glances.

So is thick back hair
Hey, some people love body hair, so you're not disproving much.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It means they exist (see trans rights). Though yes, it doesn't really speak to what a society must accept as sexualized that something simply exists in counter to the norm.
To think such silly things is equivalent to religious people trying to protect their kids from "catching the gay" or becoming a lesbian simply because they met one. Just because it exists doesn't mean it has to become a norm for everyone, and just because it exists doesn't suddenly redefine the norm. Such braindead thoughts show up in far too many places. (like the previous comment)
