I love having boobs!

[taxmapper]

My breasts have felt on fire last couple days. I really can’t recall last time they have been this sore. Primarily on the outer breast area mid way up just feels like a non stop painful poking. Not enough to take off work for but enough to feel like something is going on. I’m fairly confident it’s a growth spurt of some sort from aches I had a few days ago but the aching is magnified much more today and unsure why.
While I absolutely have come to love having boobs I’ve also loved them being not as present as a woman’s bust would be. As comfortable as I am in a bra. I’m comfortable largely cause my breasts aren’t obvious.
If this ache is some kind of strong growth spurt im curious and nervous at what the end result is.
One reason I really enjoy this forum for myself. When I get comfortable with things something happens time to time in growth occurring again that makes me insecure as hell about it.

Sounds like another growth spurt defiantly, just "from hell with love..." *Satan. 

The burning if i understand this, comes from nerve end formation and fat distribution.   

pain meds for sure, unless your allergic, but me thinks youll be fine.  

I haven't had any burning sensation, but the unpleasant inability to be rid of it I can grasp.  Kinda like mosquitoes inside. Not dangerous, just well.... rude.

As a person of faith it often feels like a gift from below as a way to imprint insecurity of some sort 

I definitely feel a lot for whatever a lot is to someone, more mass in the sides and wall of the breast area. And underbust looks fuller then days before but unsure if that’s just unseen before or new observation. But the outside are parallel to the areola is so sore and the knot of tissue feels more swollen. Opted out of a pullover today to wear my t shirt bra for more support but still just sore. 

I’m not one for pain meds my tolerance to pain is quite high and I am not worried bout it. Just annoying as heck.

I am also a person of faith, I don't believe this is a gift from below. I also don't believe this is a gift from above.  It is genetic thing that is supplemented by prescribed drugs.  This is has been an issue for all of us. 

I finally believe that we have to do what is best for ourselves.  This will be different for all of us. 

I do wear a compression bra to church.  With a C cup, it is the best I can do to keep them from being noticeable.

I too am a person of faith but not of the Christian variety.  Fortunately, that saves me from having to deal with the devil who made me do it... as Flip Wilson so humorously stated the fact.  I would argue that not only is the presence of breasts on our chests not within our control, but our response to having those breasts is not within our control.  Some men will feel compelled to cut them off.  They can't tolerate the reality of breasts developing on their chests.  Those who find ourselves on this side of the website have concluded that it is either beyond our reach financially, or not a suitable response to what is inherently not a medical issue requiring intervention.  How we come to terms with these breasts is definitely not a one size fits all.  Sophie transitioned.  Birdie is expressing her atypical femininity.  Intersexuality definitely throws a monkey wrench into considerations of gender expression.  We all find our way and it is really rather pointless to judge how another person proceeds to live with their reality.  I know there will be folks who have a difficult time with non-conformity, so we can expect some of that to appear here as well.  Remarkably this place has been generally kind and supportive of men dealing with this reality.  I'm grateful for that.

When I first joined years ago I just browsed and gandered at the forum from afar and never thought I’d be a man wearing a bra. Just came here for education on gynecomastia after a surgeon who pretty much encouraged me not to get surgery and to first see if it develops to be anything of concern visually and physically and to get more educated on it so I didn’t feel alone as it was very common just very quiet in talking about. So I did and landed here. 

If it wasn’t for this side of the forum, I’d probably had made an impulsive decision to get surgery. Especially after my chest became more breast than chest. But this side of the forum has really made me embrace them and love them. And feel if more men scrolled down to this side more, they’d realize how great of a gift it is instead of a curse.  Nothing to do with femininity and such. Just everything to do with embracing how we are all as individuals and how our body’s don’t have to be sculpted and pressed but just be how it was designed to be.

There is nothing like the sensation of a bra holding your own boobs in place and looking down at the cleavage between your bra cups. If one thought having boob development was a negative, they have not tried a bra.

[Dudewithboobs]

Absolutely. The first time I saw my boobs in a bra I was so taken back. I couldn’t believe my chest was this full that it could fill a B cup. Now a C cup. Looking down and seeing my cleavage, walking and feeling my boobs move just a little. 
They’re also entertaining when you become proud and comfortable with them. And no longer care. Had a buddy over the other day for some drinks and bbqing. Standing there talking I cross my arms and see his glance go down a little as my cleavage displayed above my v neck by doing so. Before he went back to looking around the yard talking. 
My favorite is still just enjoying time in the yard in a general tank top and feeling my breasts bounce a bit or jiggle as I garden and looking down and seeing them in natural positions when I lean over. I really have come to just love and admire what my chest has become.

  I would have to agree.  Having a well fitting bra that shapes how I want to be seen at that time is wonderful.  

  Having breast isn't that bad once you learn how to shape them and dress.  The slight sway and bounce is just a nice reminder for me.  
I do enjoy it also.  I also found having an assortment of bra styles, fabrics and colors is kinda fun also.  Only I see it but I have to say it does something for me just knowing I have something nice on, and that adds a benefit also.

Of the few women who know, none of them have ever said to me I should have them removed if there is no medical need. They all agreed that would mutilation and unnecessary trauma to the body. I had one say to me that if she was woman enough to have breasts, I was man enough too. I had another say mine better not be prettier than hers. 

I think most women get the body judgement thing and has some kind of understanding and empathy of what it is to not have the perfect body.

Seeing the projection is something that fills me with joy in so many ways.  Still want them larger.   At 50.25 inches.

I think we share the same journey.  I believe you are younger than me.  I'm 75.  As I get older, I have accepted Gynecomastia. I don't believe it is a gift or curse.  I just accept and try to be discrete when with people.  This is for their comfort and mine.  We have a private acreage, so don't encounter many people.  I know that there will be a time when we need to sell and move to a retirement center in the 80's.
