What do you mean by precise legal terms?
I mean the way the conversation seems to be trying to define WHY it is or isn't ok.
Cartoon or real, how realistic, men or women, how large, what age, because of the feminine face, and so on. These things are just smokescreens that begin to confuse the issue.
I just think it's better to look at the question in a perfectly straightforward way.
IMO, it really does have to do with society and the way we think about women's breasts.
It seems the OP is suggesting that it's better to desensitize men to consider breasts as being sexual, so that it would be ok to have them uncovered.
That's a whole other issue, and I would object to it on two grounds ...
One being, I don't think it's generally good to consider desensitizing ourselves in general, especially so that it becomes ok to do something that is not now ok. Baring breasts is a fairly innocuous example as possibilities go, but overall such movement serves to debase society. Put a little more simply, I think becoming purposely insensitive to things we consider morally wrong is a move in the bad direction - in general.
More importantly, I'm almost surprised no one has commented that it might not be pleasing to the population in general to de-sexualize breasts. If a man enjoys his wife's breasts (and God obviously gave husbands this as a gift, if we believe the principles hinted at in Song of Solomon) ... then this would deny him that pleasure?
Likewise, some women might enjoy having them as a sexual feature, both for their ability to feel desirable to their husbands, and for the fact that it is a normal physiological response for women to be physically aroused by sensations associated with the breasts, I think more so than men (though I honestly have never had the interest to bother verifying this).
So on that last point, even if we culturally make them not sexualized, I do believe God has rather hard-wired them to be that way, to some degree at least, in a neurological sense.
