breast envy

[Eileen (SO)]

This is a fun kind of topic to read for me. I know all the CD's want real boobies of their own, that makes sense. As some have mentioned, a guy with breasts will get teased quite a bit. As a well endowed and mature woman, my perspective.

Early development in grade school was not fun. The first one to have to wear a bra and have the strap snapped, sometimes by other girls! I wonder if most guys even know I have a face. Hot summer weather and no option of going braless sucks. A lot of clothing won't fit right, can't wear a tiny bikini or go jogging. Bras are more expensive. To wear just once a barely there, lacey bra that shows through a silky blouse, sigh. But, we are born the way we are. With all the drawbacks and back aches, I wouldn't want to trade these in for a different size.
My CD guy has two sets of forms to wear, depending on what size he'd like to be. That's my breast envy. Dress a little snug? Wear the smaller set. Want to get attention? Pop in the bigger girls.

I don't think highly of taking herbs and such to mess up your bodies natural chemistry is a good idea. And taping to create cleavage, isn't that awfully uncomfortable? How do get the tape off after wearing all evening? What happens if you sneeze, does the tape tear the skin off?

I have worn tape to get the cleavage, and if done right it is not uncomfortable. I have some tissue to work with and that helps. For someone flat chested it may be a problem.

[Eileen (SO)]

Does tape really work? Sure, I can create more cleavage with a different bra. My guy has some chest tissue that if pulled the right way, looks like cleavage. If he puts his arms out, it goes away.

Ironically, I have breast envy in that I wish I could take mine off once in a while

I got a real laugh out of this replay as well as Eileen's. When I started down the path and told my sisters I joked I wanted to be like them, they are all well endowed to use Eileen's term. They all told m to be careful what I wish for. Well her I am 10 years down the road and a very full C cup, well most of the time however with some bras I need a D. They get in the way, after a day on my feet my back hurts, with a lot of outfits I need a minimizer bra, and go braless? Never! So be careful what you wish for!

Diedre,

Did you do herbs or drugs? It's interesting that something actually worked at not a web scam. And how did it affect the rest of the anatomy? I'm not sure how I would accept my guy with actual breasts, especially during private times. Probably not well. Certainly not a D cup, yikes!
That's just me and not judging by any means.

Eileen, I took the "official" route of transition and have been on HRT as prescribed by my doctors, been a little over 10 years now. As I said in my previous post all 3 of my sisters are well endowed to use your terminology and when I started with my HRT I was told that even in spite of starting late in life, I was 49 at the time, I should expect "respectable" breast development due to my family history although I doubt the doctor ever dreamed it would be this respectable! As I said I am a full C cup with most bras, generally I wear Olga or Bali, however there are times you want a "special" bra such as a push-up or one of those little cute numbers and I find with some manufacturers as well as the cheaper bras the cups are not as generous and I end up with a D for a better feel and fit. I am sure you know that not all bras are created equal and I have found that the only to know for sure is try it on before buying, learned that one the hard way.

As for other changes I am not a sexually functional male at all any more, that came relatively early on after starting HRT. I stand 5'8" in my stocking feet. a bit short for the average male but a bit taller than the average female. I was always short waisted as a guy, works out nicely now though. I always had a big bottom so that helps and the hormones did add a bit there. I did put on about 15 pounds after starting hormones, still have a bit of that even today and if I do not take my water pills I retain water like crazy.

You said you weren't sure how you would feel about your guy having breasts, well my guy loves them! He is very typical male in that aspect and all other phases of our relationship. He Tarzan, me Jane!

As I said I have 3 sisters, all older and they still call me the "little" sister, not necessarily due to my age either. There are times when we are all together we commiserate about what a pain large breasts can be both figuratively and literally but I wouldn't trade mine for the world and I doubt any of them would either. I have read a lot of posts about the girls here and how they would love having large breasts or how they love their DDD breast forms and I wonder if they really get it. As I am sure you will agree Eileen it is one thing to have them for an evening or even a weekend, even if they are attached, but a whole other thing to have them out there front and center everyday!

Dear Deidre,
Well, that explains the breast development, HRT and genetics. Obviously, our two relationships are very different. Sure, your guy likes the development. Good for you both. My perspective is even though I do my best to support my guy's cross dressing, and looks very nice. In a typical male/female relationship, I don't want breasts hanging in my face while making the beast with two backs.

Before getting involved in CD issues, I really didn't consider my breast size. It is what it is. Sure, the experiance in Grade school was much different than High School. There comes a time to accept who you are and just live life.

Many men have the "problem" of lower testosterone as they get older and there is no one older than me. Lower testosterone meens that estrogen sometimes is higher and breast developement starts. That is what is happening to me and I can now wear my B cup braws without padding. Where this will end I'm not sure but it doesn't bother me. Since I have been wearing a bra all the time for many years just for the feel the size increase is ok. I have been massaging my breasts for several minutes daily for some years and this keeps them at what I call pirky with very nice nipples.

I haven't had any pictures taken of me en femme but when I get the nerve to ask my wife to click the camera I will post them here.
It would be enjoyable to take part in a gathering of CDs that are well behaved just to be freindly and exchange information about where to shop and get good deals in my own area.

Following on Rhanda's comments

One stealth way to possibly develop breasts is, as I have done, have my primary care physician put me on testostorone shots
to boost my low T.

Because I am very heavy the T is changed to E by the aratase enzyme relatd to the fat in my body.
Since starting two years ago I have developed a nice pair of B "girls"
It is not simply fat redistribution the actual breast gland has developed.

Now, if I was a natal woman- given my size - I would probably be sporting to very large breasts
but since I am not fully transitioning they are more than servicable

I no longer have to wear forms - unless I want to slip in a pair of "chicken cuttlets" for a bit of a boost.
What is great is to wake up every morning and know that my body is becoming more and more feminine.
Getting dressed and needing a bra makes me -- well - happy!

Be mighty buxom

I usually try to do some working out, like pushups, and some weight lifting, so I think this could actually help add some size to your chest. I've been watching some videos supposedly about breast enhancement, and not sure it works, but I notice my chest is softer, and I enjoy feeling them more when aroused. Of course, hormones, or implants would be the best ways, but not near ready for that yet.

I tried the larger D size once and found myself feeling like a cow that needed to be milked! Don't get me wrong...some girls can pull it off, but I find I like a nice little B or C at the most. They seem to just go with my petit stature and don't dominate the rest of my looks. Besides, it's easier to find some nice sexy tops to accentuate a small pair of perky boobies!! I sometimes I don't even put in forms, as the feel of a bra on my natural skin is so sexy. I'm slim, but have a bit of a natural boobie thing going.
