That's quite a loaded question, obviously boobs hold a point of attraction for men as we often like them and you know, they're there, but if you're making an app of you staring at boobs it goes from a fleeting thing to more a situation where you've just turned that lady in an object. That's not super awesome. Look, I like boobs as much as the next guy, but there's got to be a line where we go from "yay boobs are awesome" to "okay this is a bit creepy".

>but if you're making an app of you staring at boobs it goes from a fleeting thing to more a situation where you've just turned that lady in an object How is that different from going to see people play music or act in a movie? Is an actor "an object"? How about other people we see as objects/machines to do stuff for us, like someone serving meals at McDondals (or a programmer)? In that interaction, we only value what we get out of them -- they might as well be objects (and in some cases, they ARE replaced by objects, e.g with automation). How are those cases different, except in the puritan way of "it involves sexual desire" so it's bad?

  Because those people are there to fulfil a role. So there's looking at boobs and there's looking at boobs. There's looking at the boobs of someone who wants you to look at their boobs, either they are an adult model or a consenting adult who's thought "Hey, this guy/gal is alright, I'm okay with them seeing my boobs". In that situation all is well with the world, they're either fulfilling a role for cash purpose or they've decided to extend a level of intimacy. (sidenote: not a puritan, I think sex and sexuality is a big part of our society and we ignore at far too often, and discuss it even less)

Isn't that exactly what bikini models are also there to do? >There's looking at the boobs of someone who wants you to look at their boobs, either they are an adult model or a consenting adult who's thought "Hey, this guy/gal is alright, I'm okay with them seeing my boobs". In that situation all is well with the world, they're either fulfilling a role for cash purpose or they've decided to extend a level of intimacy. And how's that different from what that app was about out? Didn't it use professional models and such? (Seriously asking, haven't read about that part)
