Acceptance / Re: To show or not to show.

« Last post by NoWorries25 on Today at 05:37:29 AM »

I have noticed that the harder one tries to hide, the more obvious it becomes.  My personal method of dealing is to hold my head high, my back straight and shoulders back in natural posture.  This posture also places the weight distribution more directly over the feet making balance better, the walking rhythm more natural, and with fewer pains in the neck (literally) and back.

Swimming creates a whole new set of problems, but all can be dealt with relatively easily.  In the beginning, I thought that swimming would be a lost art, but I have found that you just have to be comfortable and not wear anything too .... interesting.  Tankini's (courtesy of Birdie), bold cover-ups, and some courage is "all" that it takes. The normal now is the new normal forevermore.  Enjoy!  Don't let it steal your life!  When in Rome..... or....when a B/C (or more) enjoy the ride.

I regularly swim at the YWCA because it is an indoor pool that is open the year around.  Just don't show up topless - there are usually children present.

Gynecomastia Talk / Re: Hello; newly dealing with this

Hi all, just want to say thank you for your responses. I really appreciate it. It feels good to know that I'm not alone in this.

I have indeed read up on Couvade syndrome (and also that the science is shaky on it). If it's that, then there's nothing I can do but wait and see what happens after the baby is born. Not long to go now (wife is due in May).

Sensitivity has basically been at zero for the past few days but it may just as well come back tomorrow; it hasn't really been consistent over the past 6 months.

Welcome.  I know this is a tad stressful now for both of you.  Focus on your wife and child.  This is urgent.  The rest will be important later.  Your wife, and you, will have a lot more things to keep you focused over the next 6 months.  We had 3 daughters over 6 years.  The estrogen was everywhere in the house.  I had an office that minimized the emotions.   They have kids and now understand the need for quiet time.

Acceptance Garments / Re: Push-up bras

« Last post by gyneco_jason on Yesterday at 04:10:24 PM »

I bought one a while ago without realizing it, and I never wear it because it makes my boobs look even bigger. I'm not looking to add any more volume than I already have, so I usually go for lightly lined or unlined bras.

Those feelings only became more amplified after the orchiectomy. 

Anticipating this was a normal response due to my medical background, I never noticed the effect until about 6-7 months after the procedure. 
My wardrobe has moved more towards ‘ peacock’ than it was in the past.

Getting compliments from my wife on my presentation. Feels good after spending a lifetime in scrubs & uniforms.

...  I find myself unexpectedly more accepting of wearing bright colors and more feminine styles.  Does anyone else have that perception?

I find that mindset to be most liberating.  I can harly wait to see what happens next.

It makes perfect sense to have our feelings more in line with women now.  Liking more color in our wardrobe and softer clothing is natural and not a problem for me.  I feel it's all a part of the journey and freeing. 

This.      ALot of changes emotionally and perspective on many things alters.

I've noticed a lot of men  on television who would probably look better if they wore the proper support clothing.  some seem to think it is a show of muscles, but we know ......

You're correct. After the novelty wears off, it's just the day to day of getting through life. And yes, the world doesn't stop spinning because a man wore a bra for developed breasts. The world does not care. The world has its own problems.

No kidding!

My mood and activity for the day determines my bra and my bra determines my clothes. I have found that's basically the same with women as well.

So yes, it's not will I wear a bra but which bra will I wear and that determines my clothes.

Going hand in hand with those choices is how much we want to show. We are going to show whether we like it or not. How much we show is going to be based on our clothing choices for the day and sometimes I’ll pick showing a little more for my comfort over other people’s comfort zone. Today is the best I can do. 😁
