Title: Feeling towards having an Adam's apple
Post by: makipu on November 18, 2014, 10:32:14 AM
I am generally just wondering if I am the only one here who doesn't care for having an adam's apple.  I was kind of interested before taking T but now I have a small bump on my neck it kind of creeps me out even though I like it somewhat.  Its not in a disgusting way like how I feel towards female anatomy but it simply scares me a bit having something stick out.
  For example when I was little I used to see my male relatives with huge ones and I remember getting scared of them too.

I'd have to say I'm the opposite, I am constantly checking to see if mine sticks out more haha. I'm not even sure why but I would love to have a really prominent Adam's apple.

Although if I were to have one I feel like I'd be more conscious of my neck, like getting hit there. (It's happened a few times, once by a baseball) I feel like it would be so much more painful, or even just really uncomfortable for things to brush your neck.

it's weird, I actually have an adam's apple already, pre-t. It's not huge, but definitely there. I never minded having it, but now that I'm embracing my being male, I actually think it's kind of cool.

Being in the opposite position as you I hope you don't mind me slipping in a note. If I could share mine with you guys I would. I hate mine, its plenty big enough for you all to have some. I am willing to trade it and a few other parts with you, hehe.  :-*

Love,
Jade

I'm pre-T and have always had a pretty noticeable Adam's apple too. I don't think it's weird to have one pre-T though. Both genders have them, they're just usually more prominent in males because of the whole voice deepening thing during puberty.

I'm excited to get an adam's apple. I'm a bit weirded out because it's a growth on my neck. Overall, I'm excited for this change. I'm kind of scared it'll hurt though if I touch it on accident.

Same here, I have the similar feeling. I am scared to touch it basically. It doesn't hurt but it feels weird.
