My breasts

[wilh78]

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but I feel like expressing myself with people who may have similar conditions.  I'm curious to know.  Im a 31 year old male and I've been wearing a bra since I was 15.  Along with puberty came one puffy nipple which my doctor at the time said would go away which it eventually did, but it was replaced by growing breasts.  I went from an A cup to a B by the end of high school.  I was teased on a regular basis by classmates as well as friends for having this "abnormality".  It was actually my mother who suggested that I wear a sports bra to help conceal them.  She left it on my bed one night and basically said it might be a good idea to try it, so I did and I've been wearing them ever since.  I'm currently a 42b/c.  I wear mostly sports bras, but I also own a few bras with full wire cups and to be honest, I think I look great.  It's who I am and I'm actually quite proud that I have them.   They aren't flabby "man boobs" they look like normal, slightly large breasts that happen to be on a 6'0" 185lbs male frame.  Whether I go with a bra or without,  it took me a long time to get to this point with my family, close friends and my fiancee who all have wanted me to go through with surgery (my fiancee is currently very supportive of my decision to not go under the knife).  When I'm out in public I am comfortable wearing sports bras designed for a smaller bust to help bind them, but when I'm home I typically wear regular bras to support them.  I don't personally know any other man with breasts, but I'm sure I'm not alone.  Does anyone else here have a similar situation or has anyone gone through with surgery or considered it?  I'd love to know or if anyone has any questions, I would be more than happy to discuss!

Gynecomastia is breast development that occurs in males. It can happen at any age and for a number of different reasons.

Oh yeah, I've done many a research on it.  I guess I may have missed the point.  I'm more interested in talking about it with anyone that is interested or has a similar story.  Dr's call it gynecomastia, but to me its just a part of what makes me me.  I've had breasts for more than half of my life, so for me its just another day, but I do still occasionally struggle with them and how I have been perceived, but as I get older, it gets easier to deal with negative attitudes.  I would never consider going swimming at a beach without a shirt on for example, but that's just a small price that I have to pay for having a larger chest.  I know there are men out there who would love to have breasts.  Its not something that I wished to have when I was a kid, but having them and becoming more comfortable with them, they are really something that I have come to treasure.

I found your story very interesting. You don't often hear of a guy having natural breasts who is as OK with it as you are. Personally, I'd love for that to have happened to me, but I'm transgendered. Still, it must have been really tough as a teen. Being a teen is tough no matter what. Have you ever considered "completing the look" and passing as a woman? Maybe it's just not your thing. And, I'll admit, that introduces new problems.

im male or actually transitioning now. I am fifty two now and i have had thirty eight B breasts since i was aboud fourteen. I gt a lot of teasing when i was a teen, but a helpfull girlfriend and a gir cousin helped me a lot. Both of them had the atitude to just have fun and ejoy it since it wont go away. Once i relaxed and just enjoyed my body as it is , my life became tenfold better. I really enjoy having breasts and would never even consider removing them. Especially now that i am transitioning. I played with crossdressing most of my life and the apearance and persona gradually just became who i actuall am. For most of the last thirty years or so i have lived somewhere between male and female. I was always just as proud to be male HAVING BREASTS as any other male was being just a normal guy. I am merried and have five children ages from ten to thirty five and they have grwn up with my apearance. Most times they become agitated with people whome make a big deal about it. I have decided to just live as female now because my apearance is just feminin now and its easier than trying to go back and forth all the time. I like my body me and who i am . growing up a male with big breasts has added a pleasure and debth to my life that i cherish and would not have traded for anything

Honestly it was tough as a teen, and I often wondered if I was mixed up in the gene pool, I sometimes still think this.  But like I previously said, and it's important to say this as many times needed, everyone is created a certain way for certain reasons, whether its gods doing or DNA, take your pick, doesn't matter, it's selection either way.  I like who I am.  I like my breasts, but I also like being a man and playing pool, drinking beers, grilling, watching sports,but I am also close to many women, not sure if having breasts is a part of this or not.  I'm always learning something new about myself.  Perhaps I have the best of both worlds, I'm not really sure, but that's how I keep my outlook.  I would never rid myself of these breasts, to me it would be like loosing a limb.  Did I do lots of drugs and rediculous things as a teen, you bet I did!  Was it worth the pain?  Yeah I would say so, although, I would do less drugs on the next go around.  I'm currently in a very happy place with a good fiancee who also embraces them, and yeah, I wear bras around the house and feel pretty comfortable doing so.  If I can post a pic here, I'll do it soon.  I feel for anyone who has an identity issue, its not easy.  I can understand probably

And to follow up.  yeah I have thought about "completing the look" I've explored women's clothing a few times, but honestly, it didn't feel right.  A few times I really wanted it to feel right, don't know why, but I did.  I will reveal this though.  I like the way my breasts look in certain shirts, but I don't feel like I need to wear women's clothing to make them look great!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. We all have to work out a way to do life in our own unique way and this is yours. I found it very interesting.

Hey, I don't want to resurrect a dead topic, but I'll keep it brief just to say I really appreciated you sharing your story.  It's quite meaningful and helped me think some.

[gennee]

I've had mine for a number of years now. I'm 61 and they are a part of me. Someone asked if my breasts were natural and I replied yes. I wear a 44c cup.

I remember years ago a doctor telling me that I could have my breasts reduced. I wasn't out then but looking back I'm glad I refused that doctor's offer.

     Nice story.  It reminded me (as if I could ever forget) of when I was in my early teens.  I was not flat chested.  I would say mine were almost an "A" cup size.  I went through a year or two of teasing from the neighborhood kids.  Even though I have had them all my life that was the only really bad time I had - besides the name calling.  As an adult I have always found that there is always someone that sees my nipples sticking out and want to do the ol' twister to them.    Mine never grew out any further.   Now I wish they had (some 40+ years later).  I really appreciated hearing your story.  It made me reflect on my  memories  in a positive way.  Thanks.

I have been slightly overweight and have a similar situation.  The feel of support from the bra is an incrediably secure feeling. 

[Amy1177]

Hey Wilh  you have an awesome story.  I don't have feminine breasts at this point in my life but have discussed it with my wife on more than one occasion.  We have decided that once the kids are a bit older and out of the house we are going to see what the options are at that time of the future and go from there.  We would both like to see them grow into either c or d cups.

I have grown breasts over the last 8 years, about 44B. I love them. With motillium and electric breast pumps even got then to lactate with good bit of milk. I do have a difficult time finding sexy lace bras.

[Eva Marie]

I've managed some breast growth using various and sundry methods. I realized that I had achieved my goal (some growth, but not whoppers) one day when I got on an elevator wearing a tshirt, and another guy got on right behind me. He struck up a conversation about the saying on my tshirt, and then contined to stare right at my chest until he got off the elevator, to the point that I was becoming uncomfortable.

I now understand a bit of what our GG sisters experience with breasts. Still, I like my small ones and feel that having them fits in with who I am.

[Donna2468X]

Dale,
You mentioned using a breast pump for your breast and nipples and had even stated lactating using Motilium.  I can also say that I did the same thing, I really started using a breast pump for nipple and breast stimulation some years ago and without Motilium, I started lactating; however, it was from another medicine the doctor had given me.  He stopped it and the milk stopped also.  I found Motilium and have been able to get it started back and it has been off and on for sometime.  The main thing is that you have to keep pumping, the more you pump, the more you will produce.  And it feels great, sometimes I will just lay there and pump for hours (my nipples have gotten use to it)  It feels great.  One time I fell asleep (it so calming) after about 2 hours and they continued to pump.  When I woke up I had a blister on both nipples, my little girls were sore as hell for a day or two.

[Debra]

I actually had nightmares when I was a kid that this would happen to me and I would be 'outed'. I of course never had the condition though.

Now I wish I did.

I'm exploring Motilium and a Breast Pump.

It's hard being a male and develop like a female..when I was13 and puberty hit I developed like a female and grew to a AA borderline B and a locker room incident that made me quit taking my short off in public..I don't have man boobs for mine are round and firm with the nipples protruding,I learned to wear baggy shirts but the are still noticeable. What's weird is my wife never paid attention to my chest til I came out ts,then she noticed and asked of I ever took hormones told her they are natural and all me.  For 15 yrs til I was 25yrs that I found I was not alone,took another 6yrs for me to drop the t bomb,she told me crossdressing she can handle,hormones is a deal breaker,i told her I can live with the cd and she said she will be my makeup artist and the one to pick out clothes for Cheryl.  I've always had fun with what I have in private. One thing that I found was weird is my Dr never asked why I developed breasts and a femine body and portray male.

[Jin]

Mine came in along with puberty too. But I grew up in an all female household so just thought of it as the normal progression. Then one day the boys in the locker room got to teasing me which progressed to some groping. I found that I like the attention and the boys liked to practice on me before they tried to feel up their girlfriends. After that I became very popular!
Now I am at 38C with very prominent nips (which I love to show off). I seldom wear a bra and when I do it is usually a feminine and lacy style and covered with a thin enough shirt to show. And sure, sometimes I go all out and dress 100% girl, just for fun.
My Dr. has suggested reduction surgery but as I am very happy with my shape, and have no health issues, I have declined.

Enjoy being unique!

About ten years ago (in my early 40s) my regular physician noted that I had developed some "breast tissue." He didn't make a big deal of it or recommend any action, other than to say that I should regularly check for lumps (just like women do). It was a little strange to think about at first, but with time as my breasts got bigger by theselves, I started liking it. I now fill a B cup no problem and almost a C. When wearing tight tops, the lady bumps look nice, round and plump. I started using nipple pumps about three years ago, and a brest pump a year ago. I've noticed both growth and nipple sensitivity that I never had before. When my arms bump against my breasts it just reminds me of who I am. I sometimes wear a bra, which I find keeps them in a nicer position than without a bra.
