Open Robe

[WPW717]

Wow!
I can relate to that picture as well as I’m sitting here in front of a fire with my robe open after a shower. The only difference between that picture of you and me is my robe is red and I have a slightly hairy chest. lol.
Looking good !

Very nice JJ. Beautiful breasts. 

With pictures like these, it becomes very obvious why bras are just as much needed for our comfort and appearance as any woman would need a bra. Our community proves that bras are not the exclusive domain of women, no matter what society says. 

[Jadzia]

Me too

Busty, your pic with the breast under the open robe is in fact very seductive as Justagirl stated. It could be used as a perfect excample of decent act photography.

I've noticed that wearing a bra does not only give a feeling of well being on the physical side (support) but on the mental side as well or even more. I feel much more relaxed with a bra than without one. At last after the fear of wearing bras in public has vanished everyone should experience this feeling of relaxation.

I agree I feel much more relaxed in a bra too.  is it something to do with the physical sensations of the band and straps and the pressure of the cups on our breast tissue? My wife is autistic and she likes to use heavy blankets and cushions which I  find strange but perhaps it's a similar need?  I am just so glad that I have breasts and can justify wearing a bra.

Busty, Parity, John.. 

Thanks, was all in good fun.

It is sometimes hard to find the words to describe the state of mind with wearing a bra. 

Some are describing being relaxed, the sensations of wearing a bra, the physical support. These of course all personal observations.

I would add that it feels appropriate, logical, accepting, confirming, and maybe even expected. From the very beginning of trying on a bra it confirmed to me that I did have breasts, that it was logical to wear one for the support, and gave me some sort of confidence that I was managing my comfort and appearance appropriately.

I agree blad. I too felt the same way about bras and my bosom. Even when wearing bras that didn't fit, having my breasts nested in the cups felt normal and proper. I felt like a protective shield or armor like was protecting my bust. Later I found out that many women feel like that too. A bra is armor like to them that they feel they can tackle the day whether the bra is for support and containment or for appearance. For some women they use their breasts as a weapon against men and the robe pictures here prove that even though they were in a fun and playful satire way, we too have that ability as well. 

We didn't ask for our bosoms but like women, we have come to know our breasts and have found we deal with them in the same manner, we're not as open about it. Our breasts are the same as women's breasts. They developed the same way with the same tissue. Our breasts look feminine because they are feminine. Our chests are indistinguishable from a woman's. They act and react just like our sisters breasts. And there's no shame or recrimination in that fact. It's a human thing. We like the support and containment of our bosom as much as they do and for the same reasons, lugging around on our chests a couple of unsupported fat sacks filled with unused mammary tissue is not aways a great idea. Our sisters are well aware of that, and they may complain about having to wear a bra, but won't be caught not wearing one. And many of us are the same way too. Why should we be denied the same comfort and peace of mind just because our groins are not smooth? This has nothing to do with gender or sex but comfort and appearance. They're developed mammaries. Why can't they be treated as developed mammaries?

The armor effect..

Oh how true. 


The sensitivity to heat and cold, the impact, nipple injuries, the forward headlight aspect, and the list goes on. 

That's why I am usually wearing a padded bra. It protects especially the nipps from the injuries.  

Up until 2019, I NEVER had any real problems other than the runners rash and and an occasional chest impact that would hit the nips.   

But once they started growing, holy mother of god did they hurt! 

For me its more armor than support, but they have now grown enough that if not kept in place they hurt.

John and Blad, you are so right! I felt that way for decades, since my late teens when I started wearing a bra full time. 

I new my mother was right. I knew that I had all of the same reasons to wear a bra that both she and my sister did. The only reason that I never gave much thought to was modesty. Until my mother pointed it out on video, I hadn't thought about how much boobs bouncing around and my highbeams drawing attention, I knew that she was right. 

The need for support, and comfort were obvious enough for me. I also quickly came to enjoy the shaping benefits that came with wearing a bra.

WHeather it was my life presenting as male or now, living my best life as a woman, my need to wear my bras is exactly the same.

Armored it is… I find that my wife has an observation about me I didn’t see. 
I fold my arms over my breasts when I pass through the narrowest passages in our home, or out and about. On reflection of her observation I find she is correct. This discussion of the awareness of how we feel and treat our bosoms is spot on. I have become aware of this through this thread and it has sunk in as true.
This armor is being hardened by the members of the community here and I think we have become stronger and more resilient than we were a few years ago. Kudos to you all for your insights.

I am not near the size of those pictures.  To my dismay, I learned that my weight loss can release estrogen and increase breast growth.  After losing 57 pounds, I have a full C cup.  Which is becoming more difficult to hide.  Even in winter.  I have shared my issue with close family.  So far, they are accepting.  They also have medical issues, including cancer.  If this is all I have to worry about, they consider me lucky.  

[Johndoe1]

I have fought weight issues my adult life and yo-yo dieted many times. And every time I grow in breast size and in hips. Around a cup size in breasts and a little rounder in the seat. More so on top than bottom. My last big drop I dropped almost 100 lbs and went from a 42D to 38DD and all but impossible to hide my bosom as it became more rounded and fuller with large feminine areolas. A bra is pretty much not an option anymore. It's a necessary daily part of the wardrobe.
