ELI5: I often hear that "in western society, breasts are sexualized but in other places [I commonly hear Africa], they are not sexualized and therefore not as big a deal." So why is it different in western society, why did they become sexualized?

I am aware it has to do with media but what happened that the media decided to make breasts sexualized objects?
