When to cover up

[Dudewithboobs]

At what point or stage in development does it appear to be deemed inappropriate to go shirtless?

Is it the shape, size, volume or contours of the chest as it shifts from a more male to female appearance? 
Is it just general comfort to the person who feels like they should or shouldn’t have to?

One's level of confidence / embarrassment would be one big factor.

Further, if you wear a bra daily your bra strap marks would be on show confirming to all that you do wear a bra for those boobies.

Once I started to have the constant comments that I need a bra in my teens I stopped being shirtless unless I was forced to on a gym "skins" teem. The embarrassment was acute having my bouncing boobs on display during sessions of gym class.

I was about 12ish, and went camping with my cousins. I took my shirt off to to swimming and my cousin gasped, "you have as big of a chest as me!"

That was almost the last time shirtless in public, except skins team and once on a nude beach.

Thanks. I try to be aware of how I look especially when things feel like more is happening. And in summer months I become hyper insecure about things since last year. 

The side of my breasts are showing more definition in the expansion of tissue that’s occurred. And shirts are tighter in the chest than a week or so ago. And it’s got me concerned if I may need to consider things. I think I’m fine still but just figured gauge others who may have hit a point where they had to cover up. 

I’m very confident and comfortable but also self aware and just don’t want to make others uncomfortable by my comfort. Given the sizes of men who go shirtless in weight, body hair, dad bods and mild gyne. I’m not too worried as it’s just another different body type but idk

Thanks for sharing Just. Sorry that at the age of things you and blad had negative experiences from
Being built different early on. And hope it wasn’t too much of a handicap to the enjoyment of youth.
