When you bind, do your pecs tend to still stick out? I have defined pecs and when I bind, the binder binds all but my pecs and to me, they look like chesticles. To other people, I'm not sure. Cause we've all seen those real buff guys who have huge pecs that you glance at twice cause they're so...big. So yeah. Have any of you guys encountered this and how do you make them look more like pecs and not chesticles?

I'm not really buff at all in other areas of my body. I have nice sized traps. And I'm beginning to force myself to work out. So my pecs are going to get even bigger. Good/bad.

Right-oh, I just did a quick pec-study by the way of google (finally the adult-filter had some use).. I pretty much have the same issue when I bind. When comparing my pics with the google ones in terms of anatomy there's a few things I figure:
When you bind, either don't push the breasts out, or use tape (best thing I can think of) to strap them down at the sides - which basically sounds like I bad idea since you don't really want tape in the armpit area. Thing is, male chests are broader and the pecs at the sides go down in a steep, straight line - might be able to push the breasts that way but Idk.
Apart from that, perhaps adding another layer beneath the chest will help; less difference in width that way- a curve instead of a hill.

Working out will probably help actually; train the chest muscles (this won't increase cup size but yeah be careful with which ones you train since the underlying muscles might make your chest appear larger - focus on the top/side ones to make your chest appear broader) and probably the upper abs. Training shoulders helps too; broaded shoulder make pecs a bit of a 'go with it'.

Anyhow, that's the best I can come up with at this time.

Same issue here.  I layer compression shirts...sometimes three together.  It seems ridiculous I know, but it helps with my hips as well and gives me a very masculine torso.  Usually I just do two though.

I have broader shoulders too. I think my pecs look masculine..I mean last night a gay boy didn't know anything until I said something. And I was wearing a tighter shirt. I'm starting to work out my abs and arms so hopefully...something will come of this. I mentioned the pec issue to my drag dad and he said don't worry, cause on a skinny guy like you, a board chest wouldn't look right.
