I can't really fight my gyno unless I go under the knife but thants not happening so why not accept it? I always was on the heavier side growing up and got made fun of for my man boobs. I was always put on the skins team in gym. I remember in middle school locker room one of the jocks was making fun of me and said I could probably suck on my own breasts. I ended up losing a lot of weight, weighed about 170 when I got married at 19, 8 years ago this summer. I look back at my wedding photos and want that body back.... I gained a bunch of muscle mass after I got married between taking up blacksmithing and shooting a long bow. I've put on a bit of a beer belly on top of the muscle, and now weigh in at 215, 6'2". The gyno started happening about 5 years ago, I feel my own decisions led to a lot of it. Between tobacco and more often than not excessive alcohol intake. Both of which can screw with hormones. Looking back at those pictures of me when I got married, my goal over the next few years is to get back down to 180ish. Heck, I'd be happy at 190.
Anyway thats my background, I guess I didn't accept my pseudo gyno during puberty, it resolved itself, then I got true gyno. I pretty well accepted that right away as it wasn't any different than when I was growing up. It looked normal. I got a little self conscious when it got bad enough that I started wearing a bra, but that quickly diminished when I realized nobody ever said a thing and my wife was perfectly fine with it. The 3-4 years that I've worn a bra, I've never had comments as crude as when I was in middle school.
Now as for where it seems this thread has moved to... I too am part of the panty party. I still wear men's briefs on occasion (Joe Boxer had a really comfy set on sale right now) but I mostly wear panties. I also suffer from a nervous disorder that causes my muscles to tense and it is hard to relax. This carries over to trying to stand while urinating.... it takes me forever to stand there at a urinal and let it go, then when I'm done I can never get everything out as I'm in a tensed state. This leads to a lot of leaking when I put everything away and go about my business. Because of that, I also wear pads more days than not. I'm born, raised, and live in the country and us guys pee outside all the time. I've gotten to the point where I will find a secluded spot, drop my drawers all the way, and squat to pee even outside. So long story short, sitting/squatting is my preferred method, along with panties and a liner.
I definitely feel like I just opened up a crap ton, and its honestly kinda weird to think of me being a muscular blacksmith who has boobs, wears a bra and panties, and squats to pee.....
