"I * have* heard people say numerous times that there is just something innately more pleasing about the female form..."*

I agree, and I often wonder what it is about certain things that turn each species on.  It's obvious we find the female form pleasing, but we're just one species.  We men look at women and "notice" things like breasts etc, and even the sight of a navel can drive us insane!  But I've often wondered what it is that different species find attractive about their female of the species.

I mean, take a Hippo for example, what on earth does a female Hippo have that makes a male Hippo think ... OMG ... look at that!

And what about Goldfish?  They all look the same, it's not like female Goldfish have anything different that is visible to attract a male Goldfish, is it?  Goldfish don't have breasts and shapely things to distinguish them and make them attractive to a male Goldfish!
