Things I Never Thought

Im glad you were able to make them work. I can’t imagine having that level of leakage but am glad men here who do deal with it don’t let something dumb like the gender on the package get in the way of the option that works the best. Women even when wiping may leave some behind. If they sneeze cough laugh too hard often will remark that they peed a littlw. Men dont typically have this issue. Making our pads less effective for the larger leaks i assume. And being designed for the minor issue.

I suspect men with moderate to severe gynecomastia, which a number of us here qualify, have had estrogen do what estrogen does to certain body parts not directly related to the chest. Having had gynecomastia since my teen years, I have never been well endowed in the groin. And of the last few years, sitting has become, shall I say, less messy on a personal level than standing? I suspect that it's equal parts age and estrogen. Either way, it's a change.

I have lost shy over 2in in length over the last 14-18 months. Gradual notice and then consistent measuring confirmed I possibly have fibrous tissue due to prolonged dominance and tissue being effected per urologist. I don’t care. I’m not 21 trying to impress  girl anymore but it was an adjustment when sitting to relieve self.

Another stellar conversation on a website intended to address male breast development.  I would note that i know the person who created this website.  He developed breasts at a fairly young age and both researched it and wrote books about it.  I don't know him well so I don't fully know the story of his selling the website but I do know he eventually had surgery to remove his breasts.  It is possible that the surgery was part of a transaction selling this website.  I mention that simply to note that the layout of the site, with half devoted to acceptance would be in alignment with who he is.  He had lived with breasts for many years before creating this website, so he understands the journey we've all been on.  Acceptance is key AND the five topics in this side of the site are all relevant to addressing the consequences for men with breasts navigating through life.

This conversation joins many we have had about the reality of what both aging and diminished testosterone does to our bodies.  Yes, we talk about breasts and brassieres but there is so much more at play here.  I've dealt with all of the things discussed here... shrinking genitalia which led to sitting rather than standing while urinating.  I always understood why women would use toilet paper after peeing and now I do as well.  I haven't gotten at far as panties and panty liners but I very much appreciate the conversation because I can use some support there.

People who've been around for awhile know that I very much enjoy having breasts and love to play with that reality.  You've seen the photos...  But, it is being able to engage in conversations like this that allows me to find the acceptance on offer here.  Thanks everyone for your honesty and your good will.  We all need that.
