Hi! I'm new to this community and glad to have found it. I am a 71+ year old man dealing with gynecomastia, and I’m keeping my 40D bust... I’m not having surgery. But taking care of my appearance with a newly discovered set of "girls" means getting rid of an extreme amount of hair all over my body. In fact, trimming my very hairy chest is how I discovered how large my Gynomite Breasts had grown from an initial diagnosis 11 years ago.

So, my question is: what do you use to reach around and trim a hairy back? Thanks!

I'm a cosmetologist. I am a waxing specialist. I have male and female waxing clients. The male waxing clients are mostly back wax. Some back and chest waxing, some back and bikini area backside, some back and bikini area all. One has everything from neck down including toes. Once a person starts waxing an area visits repeat 4-6 weeks apart regularly. After the third visit the regular regrowth will be reduced as much as 2/3. REALLY. I also use a numbing/desensitizing product. (20% Benzocaine). Very few practitioners use such a product. You should demand it.

Mychal,

 In addition to being surprised by how big your breasts were, when you dehaired, were you also amazed how feminine your breasts appeared?

Hi SideSet,

Yes, I'm continually startled by how feminine my breasts are!

I thought my chest was flabby due to being overweight. However, I have been losing weight (11 pounds during the past 5 months...going from 202 lb to 191 lb) but my chest hadn't gotten smaller. So when I started dehairing my upper torso because I can no longer stand the summer heat, I realized little by little that my flabby "pecs" were perky boobies. At least they seem to be "perky" for a 71+ year old body. Also, being dehaired, my chest revealed itself as being much more sensitive than the layer of fat around my love handles.

I had been diagnosis 10 years ago with signs of gyno, but I didn't have pain or discomfort, so my doctor said not to do anything about it as long as I wasn't bothered by it. I've always been barrel-chested and hairy, so I forgot about having gyno...until now. So, I'm having my annual "wellness" checkup soon, and I'll ask for blood tests, etc.

I hope you are wearing a bra, as D cup too big to go around braless

Not yet. I'm waiting to get the blood tests run and have an official medical diagnosis of my condition.

I'm feeling there's an unspoken issue for my wife. She is a 30 year breast cancer survivor from back in 1990 when she was diagnosed with third stage breast cancer and needed a radical mastectomy when she was only 37 years old. So, even though she totally understands that I'm dealing with my body that is naturally feminizing itself as part of the aging process, I feel she's having a difficult time accepting the fact that her husband of 40+ years (me) seemingly has two healthy female breasts and she has only one. Bra shopping has always been an unpleasant experience for her. Over the years, she has been unable to find bras that work satisfactorily for her pair of natural/fake breasts.

So, I'll just keep standing/sitting with good posture, carry my growing bosom buddies as I have for the past decade, and wait until I have a note from my doctor. Hopefully, that will help her accept seeing me wearing an undergarment similar to hers?

 I am sorry about your wife’s illness, but glad she is a survivor. 

 What did she say about you removing the hair on your past and now your breasts looking so large and feminine?

She understood my need for comfort (my extremely hairy chest has been a major source of discomfort in hot weather). When I showed her my almost hairless chest revealing my gynecomastia in plan sight, she remarked "I can see that your chest has definitely changed."

 What a tactful way of saying you now have breasts. Have you talked with her about you wearing a bra ?

We've just started dancing around it. She doesn't think I really need to wear bras because to her I have a pair of perky breasts that don't bounce like other men's she sees. My breasts "jiggle"...she estimates that I have an "A" cup size (even though I measure 40 inches under bust and 44 inches on the bust. She admits that my breasts could be sensitive, but she looks at my chest and sees a wide rib cage. To me it's a case of denial on her part; so I won't press the point until I have my doctor's examination and all relevant lab tests are analyzed.

 At least she admits you have breasts and the words she uses describe them are words you would use to describe a woman’s breasts, so that’s a start

Interesting how different people with the same circumstances handle things exactly the opposite.  We are about the same age, I will be 70 in just over a year.  I have had breasts since puberty and had a fairly hairy chest by the time I graduated from high school.  My breasts are easily B cups. I always figured all that hair should be put to good use as camouflage.  It did work better when I was younger and my hair was very dark, now that it has become pretty heavily gray, it still helps but not as much.

My wife's only complaint about all my body hair, my back is pretty hairy also, is if hair grows up over my collar.  We have a "shaved clean down to the clavicle (collar bone)" rule.  I don't think my wife would refuse to shave my back, but I don't think she would really look forward to the job either.  Men of our relative age did not grow up with shaving our body's as the ideal.  Just surprised that at your age you have decided to "defoliate" everything.  Maybe it works as your way of having a youthful outlook.  I still lift weights every other day for my youthful outlook.  Like I said, different people do different things.

I've been barrel-chested and very hirsute from head to toe since the age of 12...in fact I had my first shaving of "peach fuzz sideburns" at 13 (1962). By 14, I was shaving daily for "proper appearance in uniform" as a Freshman cadet at a Jesuit-run Military High School (1963). The reason I decided at my age of 71+ to defoliate is because I'm tired of suffering the heat during most of the months here in Kentucky (especially at night in my bedroom), even with cranking up the air conditioner.

It was in the midst of defoliating my extremely hairy chest that I was shocked to discover how much my forgotten "slight case of Gynecomastia" (diagnosed by my previous doctor 11 years ago) had advanced to a bust size 40D. I thought my slightly flabby chest looked the way it did because of my being overweight---I was amazed at how my chest hair had camouflage my condition. I figure if I'm going to wear a bra for support, I'm going to be comfortable and not deal with hooks getting caught up in strands of my 2 inches-long chest/back hairs. ;)

I am sure your bust looks much better smooth, supported, shaped and uplifted
