Answer (2)

Breasts serve both reproductive and erotic functions, while misconceptions about their sensitivity and hormone production exist. They do not manufacture estrogens and progesterone; these hormones are produced elsewhere in the body. Furthermore, sensitivity varies per individual rather than by size. ;

Breasts play important reproductive and erotic roles, but sensitivity is subjective and not directly related to size. They do not produce estrogen and progesterone; these hormones are made in the ovaries. The statement that large breasts have more nerve endings is also a misconception.
