The Willendorf Factor
We all know about the Venus of Willendorf back from art school, right? Well, a lot of you do. And, if you don't, I'll give you a heads up. The Venus of Willendorf is a really tiny little piece of art that was discovered in, well, Willendorf, wherever that is, somewhere in Bavaria. Anyhow, the significant thing about the Venus of Willendorf is that she has massive tits as well as a very big pronounced vagina. The theory goes that the artist was creating a fertility symbol and that he was focusing on these powerful and practical symbols of motherhood. So, I was just thinking what it is that we today focus on. We've totally messed with this original symbol. As a society, as far as female symbols go, we value thin young women. We still value sex but not so much motherhood. And I think of how we've placed so much attention on sex and how we constantly hungry for new stimulation. So, in come the girls in flip flops. As we navigate through our days, sex on the brain at a relentless pace, we place an incredibly high value of anything titilating. It's a dance played by the observer and the one in the role of object observed. We outright desire the stimulation. It doesn't matter if flip flops aren't especially practical footwear. It gives us a chance to see more skin, and more vulnerable highly sensitive skin. Hey, it's the Willendorf Factor as far as I'm concerned. If our primitive ancestors needed fertility images to console them, it makes perfect sense that we need to see and/or wear something ultra-sexy that get us deep inside to get through our crazy days.

Found it, but must admit that I had skipped through it too fast originaly.
Here you are describing an era where single women wore artificial bellies under their garments in order to make them look more fertile.
That was much later in the history of humankind, and took place when men and women sat face to face and actually talked with one another.
The more fertile looking a woman was, the more attractive, since procreating was all important.
Things change with the times though.
Today, women see a man in a suit and tie as a bigger breadwinner, and are attracted to them for that reason. Brawn no longer counts in the long term.
In more primative times, brawn was everything in a guy.
Fertilty may be important to guys still, but they know that it can not be determined by the size of the belly.
The thin look is in, and that's what men have learned to love.
I am guilty myself! A female has to look sickly for me to think she is too thin. A roll here and there is an initial turn-off to me, but really shouldn't be. Of course a really nice pair of feet can offset that after just a few minutes.
I treat my own body the same way, refusing to put on any visible fat, and maintaining pecs and abs to die for as part of staying attractive to both sexes, even though I am interested only in my wife. One doesn't have to make sense in life, as long as it's understood how silly it all is.
