Title: So they really ARE glands!
Post by: JenAtLast on May 18, 2013, 09:44:59 PM
Prior to HRT (and a brief period I suspeneded taking anything when I changed jobs...dumb!), I had not sensation in my chest area that was different than anywhere else for most of my physiology. 

After being on HRT for about half a year, I now understand why they are called mammary glands.  Oy...I think they feel more tender and impact me more than the 2 unwanted bits down below.  I have to say...I love the the feeling.  It just feels right.   :)

And prior to HRT, I never understand female arousal and how breasts tie in.  I can say honestly now, that I can become aroused just by doing a self-inspection with no errotic thoughts on my mind.  It's like my body is on auto getting me ready.  What a wonder, wonder feeling and it's so...I don't know, mystic in the way hormones rewire the brain to respond to stimuli.

Oh yeah, the breasts and nips are very much an erogenous zone for me...tender, yet "hot". Although, I had significant re-wiring prior to HRT, when I came out to myself...hormones just made the body agree with the mind.

YAY for 'mones!

Fascinating.

I feel a little embarrassed by the fact that I have to pretend mine are an erogenous zone with more casual encounters. It's a blasted shame that they are not. I don't think I could say my breasts are more sensitive than the pants-inhabitants, either... the sensitivity is barely there at all, most of the time. That's less of a shame, I guess.

Perhaps size comes into play in this. I'd hope so, because at least there'd be the possibility of being able to experience what you two are talking about for myself.

Mine have gotten a little less sensitive with the mones. I thought they'd get more, but they were already good before starting.

I *love* what HRT has done for me and to me:

I am no longer ruled by a small body organ that controls some of my thinking
I am no longer bound by rules of what I "can't do" as a male but am exploring whatever I wish to explore
I am no longer afraid to be ME
I am no longer wishing to be me...I AM being me
I feel things differently
Sex feels different in a good way
I now control my thoughts on sex and not vice-versa.
I have a new erogenous zone.  WOW.
Freedom.  Freedom.  Freedom.

I learn more about my body every day.  I am more aware of my body than I ever was as a  male.  I just...it is awesome.
I cannot wait to be physically whole some day.  Everyone is different.  For me this is literally a dream come true.

This is a great list and I couldn't agree more with every single point. Especially the dream come true part. Sometimes I just want to pinch myself but then don't cause if I am dreaming I don't want to wake up!

I am pre hrt, but that area gets me going anyways. I was reading an article and it said that the nips are one of those places that can be a real turn on for guys, but this was not always the case. I was talking to a friend of mine and she said that when she played with her boyfriends nips he went crazy. No telling what it is going to be like if I ever start hrt.

Has anyone used any breast pumps? I've been using the noogleberry as directed over the last month and as I have noticed the very slow growth I've definitely begun to feel a difference when I pump them. I now get very pleasurable feelings while they are pumped up that I definitely didn't when I first started.

To me it definitely seems like it is a development in process, my right one is a little big bigger and the nipple is twice as big as my left (difference between a pencil eraser and pin top not too major) but I feel so much more from my right boob right now. Waiting for the left to catch up! lol

There are guys who like nip play...I was *not* one of them. Upset the ex a little, she couldn't understand why I didn't like it. I didn't, that's all. (She had to have a reason for everything.) So I wouldn't know if it's the same kind of sensation.

no ma'am never actually occurred to me brilliant idea! I have had great growth in my nipples just by HRT though and I actually have great sensitivity just with the HRT, I love the stimulation during any encounters that I have had (not that there have been any in the past 10 years (I was with someone previous to that)

Yes, and as mammary glands they can produce milk. :D
