I recently received the following comment on another post which brings up a question that I think any man who is growing breasts has to consider – is how will people react to my female breasts in public?

I, too, wondered when I first started growing breasts, if people would treat me differently. Growing breasts was a big deal to me and it is still a big deal to me. Having breasts is a major part of my inner life, and a nice part of my private life, too. But for others, the general public, my work associates and customers and even my family, my wonderful breasts have never been an issue.

First, here is the comment from Thomas:

“I am reading all the success stories and that is wonderful, however, for those that have large breasts how do you go outside to let say the pool? I am a very good swimmer and thus wearing a t-shirt would not work – so how do you expose your self to the public at large?

“I ordered the cream, soap and drops and hope that my flat breast will get some shape, but does that mean I have to keep my top on?

“So how do you go about this, this subject is new to the public at large – although I think there are maybe millions of U.S. guys that like to have breasts, not because they are cross dressers, but that they want to have breasts.

“My wife asked me last night, if I was looking forward to the cream, and yes, I do look forward to getting a bit bigger breasts, but (I think) there is a down side of having breasts and that is public acceptance, how do you cope with that?

“Thanks, looking forwards to a response.”

In general, I would say there is nothing to cope with. My personal experience is that the general public does not notice that I look different in appearance than I used to. Instead of my male chest, I now have female breasts, but I still wear similar clothes to what I have always done – shirts, pants, coats, etc., plus a bra or not.

But I believe there is not enough discordance or dissonance, in my deviance from a regular male figure, for people in public to view me as not fitting into the range of male bodies they see every day.

Perhaps, you have noticed what I have: I now see a lot of men walking on the streets or on television whose upper chest seems to be as developed or more developed than mine and yet they fall within the image of the male gender.

Now, if I were to wear tighter clothes or blouses/shirts that emphasized my breasts, some people might be confused on what my sex was. And if I was transitioning – there would be a time when I would do that. But I am just a man with breasts, who in public anyway, pretty much looks and acts as I always have. And either no one notices or they ignore this particular physical attribute.

Some of my readers, who have larger, more noticeable breasts than mine, have told me the same thing: People do not notice or don’t care. Of course, by people I do not mean criminals, thugs and bigots of whom we must always be on guard with no matter what we look like.

I am wondering – that this lack of notice might really be a function of privacy. Beyond my wife and some necessary medical personnel – no one knows about my breasts. I have kept that private. I have told no one, nor have I dressed with a bosom revealing blouse or shirt. Nor have I gone topless in public.

As far as my family goes, they see me and we hug as families do. But the fact that my upper chest has bumps on it has never come up. And I don’t share it. I believe that I am a bit more feminine or “softer” in my manner, than I used to be, but I am still basically the same old me – a son, brother, cousin or uncle.

As long as no one sees me without a shirt on, my having breasts has remained a private matter. That is who I am, although sometimes I wish the opportunity of sharing the experiences of having breasts with others would come up.

But the main concern expressed by Thomas above – are those times when a male would normally be topless – as when you go swimming.

Personally, I think in that kind of situation people will notice, some might stare, some might be offended, some will pretend that there is nothing unusual going on and some will accept you without judgement.

Here is the thing, when you not wearing a shirt, as when you are swimming, it matters because you are revealing feminine breasts. The problem here is nudity. Female breasts are taboo in most public venues. And at some point when your breasts are growing, they will start looking like a woman’s to you and to anyone who sees them.

It is funny, as long as your physique is recognizably male – you can weigh hundreds of pounds and have fatty breasts larger than Dolly Parton’s and no one will make it an issue, as you walk around with just swimming trunks on. Because no matter how large they maybe – they look like male breasts. But if you have female breasts by definition and looks, than showing them in public may break nudity laws.

When I was in college – there was a steam room that was for men only. But I would sneak my girlfriend in with me from time to time and everybody (strangers) were always cool with it. Then one day, a particular professor came in, saw us, freaked out and kicked us out. And our private coed steam room adventure was over. The good news is that the stink raised by this professor lead to women having their own stream room built within a year.

My point for telling this story is that most people won’t care, but when nudity or gender identity comes into play someone might freak out.

So in my opinion, depending upon who you are with and the venue – public swimming pool or private beach, going without a top will bring notice to you. If you are with people you wish to and/or are comfortable sharing this part of your life with, why not? But if you are in a situation where those around might be offended and offensive – I would keep the shirt on…

But that is just me. I would love to have others weigh in on this subject? To whom have you shared being a man with breasts? Has it made a difference to those people? Is the public acting differently to you because of your breasts?

Visit Naturday

Naturday Goes Organic

I am a firm believer of eating and using organic products. So I was very excited to visit the Naturday website the other day and find that all of their products are now made with organic ingredients. That means their breast enlarging cream, pills and even the soap are now organic.

Does that mean these products are more effective than before? I don’t know for sure, but I do think that the phytoestrogens are going to be of better quality and vitality and that could make a difference. Certainly being organic products means that you don’t have to worry about the ingredients having unwanted pesticides or chemicals. That makes a difference for me.

And even if Naturday’s newly redesigned products are not substantially more effective than their competitor’s products, I do give Natureday credit for being more environmentally sensitive. Organic products are gown in such a way that is both in tune with and safer for the natural environment.

Breast Health Video

Almost every morning, I do a series of stretching which gets the blood flowing and removes out the morning stiffness from my legs, back and arms. Not too long ago, I adding the breast health exercise that is described in the video below to my exercise routine.

The exercise helps the flow of lymph fluids – the non-blood fluid that travels between our body’s cells bringing hormones and other bio-chemicals where needed. These fluids are most easily moved by the movement of our muscles – tensing and relaxing. Of course, the breasts do not have muscles inside of them, so it is the general movement of the body – walking, bending, lifting, etc. that helps move these fluids in breast tissue.

The exercise in the video directly makes you breasts move and also helps tone up the muscles below your breasts. This is a yoga exercise, very simple to do and more details are given as you watch the video. I feel better doing the exercise and I think I look better, too!

Private Observations about my Breasts

As I mentioned, I normally do a series of stretching exercises before breakfast each day. This includes eventually laying flat on my stomach on the floor. And even though I have had breasts for many years now, I still notice and have a certain satisfaction when the tips of my breasts touch the mat and then become compressed. You would think I would have gotten over my inner delight on having breasts by now, but they are still wonderful to have!

This brings to another subject I want to touch on. Often I have heard from men that a major concern they have it what their wives will think if they grow breasts. To which I have often replied that if there is love between you,and if you maintain your normal physical relationship, your breasts should not be an issue between the two of you.

And here is an example of what I mean. Over time my wife and I have developed physical intimacies that I imagine most couple create. This can be hugs or quick kisses in moments of privacy. But now our intimate moments also include, when my wife, who is shorter than me, comes over and nuzzles my breasts with her head. Or sometimes, when we are holding each other, she may unbutton my shirt and suckle me for a few seconds.

While these actions may seem to be sexual in nature (and sometimes they are), they are generally just moments of delighting in each other company or comforting each other. In the same way that hugging and holding your spouse can be just an expression of mutual love and physically telling each other, I am here for you. My having breasts, has just added a couple of more ways that we can express our “Little moments of intimacy.”

And this is nice for both of us.
