Pros And Cons of Wearing A Bra

Is there any article of clothing that is more associated with being a woman than the bra? Kilts are the same as skirts. Togas and kimonas are somewhat like dresses. Shirts are like blouses. Men and women share many clothes that have different names, but look quite similar – except for the bra.

That is why I think that – for a man who is growing breasts – the moment when it makes sense to wear a bra is such a milestone. Whether it is a physical or emotional breakthrough or a psychological or symbolic moment – putting on a bra to support your new breasts, for the first time, is special. The little piece of clothing states, upon its wearing, that you are someone new.

Just as for young women, the first bra marks a coming of age, for a man enlarging his breast or other feminizing action, a bra can also mark that moment of true change…

For me, even after several years of wearing bras, I still get a “psychological boost” from them. Which is one of the pros of wearing a bra. Other pros include keeping me warmer in the winter – just another layer of cloth to keep away the cold air. In the summer, my bras do get damp from perspiration – which leads to a nice cooling effect, when a breeze hits the front of my body.

Of course, bras also support your breasts, which is important. And depending upon what you wear, a bra can actually de-emphasize your breasts – if your desire is to not let the general public know that you are a man with breasts.

On the con side of wearing a bra. Since my variation in gender is private, I generally wear clothes that obscure my breasts. There are some shirts that I cannot wear under those conditions because a bra will show through.

Additionally, the straps sometimes come loose or off my shoulders and need to be adjusted. And the straps sometimes bug my shoulders a little bit – comfort wise. And I do have to make tugging adjustments on the cups. But I suppose that any set of clothing needs adjustments from time to time…

I guess the only real con about wearing a bra is taking the time to put the bra on in the first place. Sometimes, I feel rushed when getting dressed and putting on a bra is one more step I have to take to get ready for work. And I do find it necessary to wear a bra at work or when I know I will be doing particular physical activities. Otherwise – my breasts will hurt, if they go unsupported.

In general, I love wearing a bra and I love the fact that I need to wear a bra. So what about you? How do you feel about wearing a bra? Leave a comment…
