Breast Size as a Geographically Differentiated Indicator of Intelligence: Why Breast Size Preference Differs Author: Cloudfindings Date: April 23, 2025 Cite as: Cloudfindings (2025) Breast Size as a Geographically Differentiated Indicator of Intelligence: Why Breast Size Preference Differs. Cloudfindings. Cloudfindings.io/papers/breastsize.pdf Large breasts have been considered to be often seen as more attractive than smaller breasts to men, however, this preference is not universal, and a significant portion of men prefer smaller breasts (Swami & Tovee 2013). Research on breast size preference as well as the correlates of breast size has been very limited, and differences in breast size preference have not been sufficiently explained. In this paper, I put forth a promising hypothesis explaining breast size preference with multiple lines of evidence, and outline predictions of this hypothesis. Evidence for Breast Size Relationship With Intelligence Within the very limited research ...

The Evolutionary Cause of Body Part & Clothing Fetishism: Sexual Dimorphism, Fertility, and Disgust Inversion Author: Cloudfindings Date: April 16 2025 Cite as: Cloudfindings (2025) The Evolutionary Cause of Body Part & Clothing Fetishism: Sexual Dimorphism, Fertility, and Disgust Inversion. Cloudfindings. cloudfindings.io/papers/partialisms.pdf Why is it so common for people to have sexual interests in things that don’t seem sexual? What is the appeal? I first answered this question broadly in Cloudfindings & Younas (2024), where I put forth and mostly proved a new model explaining a wide range of unusual sexual interests as having the same causes of “normal” sexual interests with coherent evolutionary & biological explanations. In this paper, I focus particularly on partialisms, or sexual interest in specific body parts and clothing, and fully explain why all different targets of partialisms occur. Sexual Dimorphism, Attractiveness & Fertility What makes someone l...

The Dimensional Structure of Human Relationships

The Dimensional Structure of Human Relationships While interpersonal relationships are conventionally treated as explicit categories, I propose a model where such categories represent combinations of latent dimensions that underlie differences in interpersonal relationships. I conduct a study to reveal these underlying dimensions, then define different types of relationships as general combinations of dimensional traits, which fade into each other. The primary hypothesis in this study was that very close friendships and romantic relationships would overlap in a latent dimension of intimacy/closeness and differ in a dimension reflecting aspects of sexual attraction. Otherwise this study was primarily exploratory without initial predictions being made. A multidimensional model as opposed to conventional definitions of relationships is produced from the results. Methods An online survey was conducted using PsyToolkit (Stoet 2010)(Stoet 2017) where participants were asked to answer a set o...
