Question:
During arousal how much do your breast enlarge?

Answer:
by Annette Owens: (05/15/2004)
In 1966 Masters & Johnson raised the possibility that
erection of the nipples in both men and women and
enlargements of the breasts in women may be
specifically sexual responses during arousal (Masters WH
& Johnson VE, 1966, Human sexual response; Churchhill
Livingstone, London). To my knowledge this hypothesis
has yet to be proven. I am not aware of any research
addressing your specific question. Therefore,
unfortunately I am unable to give you a precise answer.
Bodily changes during arousal (in genital as well as in
other areas of the body) are to a large part related to
cardiovascular changes (raised blood pressure, altered
heart rate, skin temperature and skin color changes.) I
assume that increased blood flow in the breasts could
account for a slight enlargement of the breast tissue.
Other physiological changes during sexual arousal
include respiratory changes and pupillary dilation.
Obviously, all these changes can be caused by a number
of other types of arousing but non-sexual stimuli.
