Ehrm...penis and breasts aren't really related. Penis and clit, yes.

Ha ha, Nygeel has a good point. :P

Anyway, I have been wondering this as well. Since T does redistribute body fat over time, have any guys experienced any significant decrease in moobage? Or does one just have to work out, eat right, and hope they have the genetics to reduce it? I know body fat and moob fat are different, but hey I'm being hopeful! :laugh:

Haven't you asked this same question on two occasions already?

I don't know if this was directed at me? If I did ask already then I'm sorry. I probably should have checked.
I re-read Hudson's guide on Testosterone basics and found this:

QuoteSlight decrease in density of the fatty breast tissue. (While this may decrease the size of the breasts somewhat in some individuals, it should be noted that T will most likely not significantly decrease breast size-- most trans men require surgery to remove breast tissue.)

actually, i just looked, and i did, but in a diff way. lol im asking now bc i am doin a bio peer reviewed paper on the horomone effects in humans. my main question is if the breasts do shrink, but i ask the size to estimate just how much may occur.

After T and before top surgery mine just got saggier. I would say they turned into pancakes and it wasn't very long between the 2 for me maybe 5 months. IN the end the size was the same but the shape changed. I also had a friend who had a similar experience. I might also add that I am 40 and age may have had something to do with it.
Cheers,
