I love having boobs!

[42CSurprise!]

I've mentioned over time on this website that my adventure with breasts and brassieres has taken me far afield.  Perhaps I'm not alone in that.  I've visited a website with men who are determined to grow breasts using herbs and other devices.  These are men who wish to remain men, not necessarily those who wish to transition.  Some have had breast implants and are happy to share photos of the result.  I've also spent time on crossdressing websites where men will wear women's clothes, including intimate garments like brassieres, panties, negligees.  Some will have gynecomastia but that is not often talked about.  Wearing forms is talked about.  Recently, I followed Birdie over to a website simply called "We Wear Bras."  Folks there often have very real breasts but not necessarily.  One man joked when answering the question "Why do you wear a bra?" saying "Because my forms would fall to the ground."  Some are inclined toward crossdressing, some talk as we do about their favorite brassieres.

I re-read this thread and it is so clear we are part of a larger community.  All of us are trying to make sense of who we are and how we wish to express our uniqueness in the world.  We are learning to love the breasts given to us as our hormones shift, whether through age or some medical treatment.  The response generally begins by focusing on comfort but often shifts toward appreciation both for the reality of having breasts and then for the brassieres and other garments we choose to care for them.  Whether we want it to happen or not, the simple fact that testosterone is diminished allowing estrogen to have her way in our bodies means both our bodies and minds are changing.  We are likely more inclined to make peace rather than war in our lives and relationships.  That seems a positive change.  It isn't always recognized along the way, but when asked to reflect on such things the changes become more evident.

Though I don't "need" to wear a brassiere I'm finding myself wanting to wear one most days.  And in doing so I'm appreciating my breasts more and more.  I'm so glad I can say that in a place where it is safe to say such things.  This is how our acceptance grows.  We step out of shame and into acceptance.  I started a thread a few years ago with a title that says is all...  

Shame to Embarrassment to Toleration to Acceptance to Appreciation to ?

Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.  We need a community like this.  The world doesn't want to understand what we're experiencing, so we rely on kindred spirits for support.
