A judge has ruled that a man's breasts just don't have the same sex appeal as a woman's.

The decision on Tuesday by federal Judge John S Martins upheld a 1995 city law banning female topless dancing in residential areas. "One does not have to be a psychologist or a sociologist to recognise that," he said, "if it were known that 10 topless women were walking down Park Avenue and 10 topless men were walking down Madison Avenue, the effect on the traffic on Park Avenue would be substantially greater than on Madison Avenue."
