Covering them makes them objects of desire.

Yeah, I love breasts - they're fun, but their purpose is to nurture and, as such, are a symbol of motherhood and fertility - nothing to be considered dirty.

The reason men (and women) find this attractive (along with curvy hips and a kind nature) is hard wired into our reptilian brain. It's about findig a good mate for the propogation of the species.

The same reason women (and men) look for a lean, muscularar physique in a man - a good hunter/provider. Yes, we've grown beyond these roles as a species, but the desire in us rather heavily programmed - and reinforced by the media.
