Hello, You have a very nice web site. Keep up the good work. I was reading your page covering men and bras. Just thought that I would mention a little some thing that you might find helpful. While some men do wear bras out of need because of things like hormonal imbalances, age, medications, ect. There can be some other issues as well. There are a fair amount of people out there that have various genetic conditions, some fairly rare, some more common. I have worked with and known several guys over the years with conditions like Klienfelters and androgen insensitivity syndrome. In some respect, one is more likely to meet some one who is geneticaly not quite fully male or female than they are to meet a transsexual. For some genetic disorders that leave a person not quite male or female, the rate can be as low as 1:700 while for transsexualism its some thing like 1:30,000. Thanks again for such a nice web site.

Dear Maria:
Thank you for your compassionate article about men (such as myself) who are in the embarrasing position of finding it helpful or even necessary to wear a bra. My doctor says that my breasts are more likely to grow further than to shrink, and the fact that it helps to wear a bra has been a mixed blessing. Your article has helped me to come to terms with this difficult reality.

Sincerely,
Matthew

I see I'm not alone like Nick I to had to make the desicion to have Testicular surgery due to cancer when I was in my mid 30s. As a result my breasts started to grow over the years. At 53 now I'm about 150 lbs and have to ace bandage my boobs when I go out to work. But when I'm at home and let them free I have to wear a 40DD. My wife and I do not believe in unnessary sergory but I have had concerns about breast cancer now..

I too am a male,43. I suffer from gynegomastia....
I am 5'5 I have 38C breasts. I am so embarassed everywhere I go I am jeered at. (and assummed to be gay)
I drive a truck and often I get upset and get into confrontations with other men who ever so rudely stare and say obnoxious statements. I started at about 7th grade noticing tender breasts and nipples. I was "developing" right along side with the girls in class. In gym class the boys would play footbal or soccer. One team was "shirts" the other, "skins". Guess which "team" I was always "put in?." Confidence and self esteem are almost non-existant. I stay home and have no social life.
I loath walking around a construction site, etc.etc. I know how women feel. It is so demoralizing!

I was married for 13 yrs, she was o.k. w/it
I have been divorced for 11 yrs.
I would like to know if there are and where can I find a woman that would accept me this way.
I have no one. No one.

hi i am a male thats been diagnosed with gynecomastia its enlargemant of the male breast i started wearing a bra at the age of 15 thinking that it would only be temporary cause they hurt when they giggled and moved my mom decided it would be a good idea i am now 46 still wearing one i dont have the money for the surgery and we didnt then nor did we have any insurance to cover the cost. needless to say because of this i get called names and even sometimes get called ma'm i am a 36D i am not gay or bi but get called faggott or freak girly man or just coments under peoples breath
i feel odd wearing a bra and feel odd if i dont i just dont feel like a guy should wear a bra its diffrent from some of the posts that there girls want there guy to try one on i think every man should experiance the feel of a bra for at least a month so he will have some idea what its like for a girl to wear them day after day this has also put a very big dent in my love life i have dated but after awhile the girls i am with tell me they cant take it any longer because its like dating a girl because of my breasts so now i havnt dated in 8 years
needless to say ladies i know how it feels for you and the decions you make to either go without one or wear one
my workplace allows and wouls rather me wear one but they have never said either way its more my choice they just did really suggest that i do wear one so i do if anybody wishes to e mail me i open for friend ship i dont have to many friends guys or girls

Recently i met a girl online and we got along good and is coming for a visit,out of conversation she mentioned how she didn't like herself and when i asked why it was about her boobs..she's had 3 babies and she thinks it looks ugly,now she think she is ugly and have a very low esteem because her breast is 34B,i've been trying to talk her into believing she was beautiful and thinking she wasn't would make me feel i'm attracted to some unattractive..i found this site looking for breast sizes after she told me she was 34B since we have not met yet and i found it more informative that i was anticipating to find so i forward this page to her and BOY she is getting over everything now and i'm so happy i found this website,keep up the good work and thank you alot.
I also i'm a guy of 29 and always have had some kind f breast since i was a child,even though it is sot big i've always been shy to show in public or to my family of friends since i grew up...now the only person i feel comfortable taking my clothes off infront is my girlfriend who actually loves it(LOL)Anyway i want to really get over it but its hard for me since you didn't really talk alot about men's breast than u did women, i hope reading more from this site will help me overcome it soon because i love swimming but i can't even go to the public pool since i am shy people will be stiring at me.

Hi I'm David, 19 stright male, and i have a large male breast. I'm wearing bra since i was 16 !! I have to wear bra becuase the support my breast and protect it. Of course this is a desister but i don' have other choise. My girl friend know that, could you imagine it, my breast is larger than hers. She helps me by buying me my bra, I could not leave her, without her i can't live. she said that my breast is 38b and so she buys me 2 degree smaller so that it can hide my breast. I hope i can find a solution to this problem, with her it's not a problem but with others it's a desister.
Good bye

After finding your web site, I feel much better about my body. I am a 32 year old male with breast that fit in a 42c bra because I have been overweight my whole life. I tried Mom's 34b bra when I was 12 and it was too tight. I tried my sister's 36d bra at 15 and then, that was comfortable for me. I have never went to the beach or pool without a tee-shirt on. I am not a person that wears woman's clothing though I wear a sport bra on when I do heavy work or activities so my breast , back and underarms don't hurt anymore.
Thank you, Ray

as for the subject on men wearing bras if they have large boobs, I think it just makes sense,especially if they need the support. Have seen women with much smaler breasts than mine who wear a bra, but than sense they are a female it is expected. Wish it was more accepted for men who need a bra to wear them and of course it would not be as big of deal. I have large breasts for a male and need to wear a bra for comfort when I run, which I do often.

I started to grow breasts about 3 yrs ago, now up to 44in B, caused by medication. I wear my bra from the moment I get up until I go to bed. Need the bra for comfort & ease shoulder pain caused by breast growth. Age 66

I am a nolrmal 69 year old and wear a 40B bra because I have obvious breasts and they need support. I wear one most of the time and feel better and supported when wearing one

i am a teenager and am very embarassed by my breasts. They are 34b and being 13 are a nightmare. I wear a bra because as i am in puberty my breast tissue is very painful when it is moving around. During P.E i am very distressed as my breasts shake around and i am constantly insulted because of them. I wear polo shirts as they are quite baggy and cover them, I wouldn't hav surgery to remove them as they are a part of my life.

i would like to reply to BUD and the pictures of male breast yes men can grow breast without trying or being gay or having a sex change, i am a male with 42d breast and my doctor put me in a bra several years due to developing gynecomastia as a reaction to high dose ulcer meds that he did not tell me about side affects,i to must wear a bra and sleep in a bra due to painful large breast they bounce and nipples get raw under my shirts without a bra my new wife has no problem with them and helps me buy my bras before her the x could not deal with the fact i wore bras i am straight 100% male 6ft 3in 250,it is difficult to hide these things at work as i wear a sorta light blue uniform shirt and the projection is there i cannot wear a sports bra due to the pain of mashing them down i cannot sleep on my stomach either so i to like bud would like to know if there are other men on here with breast. bud i have been in your shoes and are you still growing,i just had to go to a 42d i hope this is the last bra change for a long time. best wishes and it takes a man to admit he wears a bra .

A 67 yr old male with gynecomastia, I was referred to your photo gallery and found a lot more. my measurements would indicate I would be a 48 A. Small for a woman perhaps, but I suffered with them and thought they were huge. Over time I have learned that the range of Normal is indeed very wide. You can bet my 4 daughters and 9 grand-daughters will be referred to your site. The same mania that sends our girls to seek surgery to augment their breasts is sending a legion of young boys and men to reduce theirs. Boys and girls alike, our youth are being mutilated as a result of the sexualization of our breasts.

I am a 41 year old married male with one child. I have worn a bra regularly since I had Testicular Cancer nearly two years ago which has resulted in a hormonal imbalance and a resulting growth in 'breast' tissue. I feel more confident in being strapped up rather than being floppy as I walk around.
I don;t get a 'kick' out of wearing one-and I wish I didn't need to, but I would rather wear a bra that have widdowed my wife and left my son fatherless!
Food for thought for those who say ALL MEN SHOULD NOT WEAR BRA's.

I'm a 40yo male with an hormone imbalance since 'teens', I declined medication to help re-adjust this and now have healthy female-like 'B' cup breasts. I started wearing a bra as often as I can since being 22yo. I get no 'kick' or such like from wearing one and see it as just part of having breasts. Indeed after a long term relationship came to an end the main reason was that my G/F said she could not accept that as she put it, that I treat and think about bra's and bra wearing just like a woman does'. I do, I'm sorry, I like wearing a bra, it gives me comfort and as I can not display the fact as openly as women can, ie; visible lines etc., when I do wear one I feel more confident as I don't feel my breasts 'move' around so much which I think people notice.
Yes, I have suffered humiliation, ridicule, nasty comments and even threats of violence on the times I have been commented on that I've got a bra on but I really do like to wear one as much as I can. Once again I stress that I get no 'kicks' or thrills from wearing a bra, I really don't think much about it and put one on, wear it on a daily basis. In fact, if it was'nt for the fact I have to think about when I can't wear one it would be even more just so 'matter of fact'!
Great site here! very interesting, hope no-one minds me posting this. I mean no offence to anyone, I'm no 'crank', Maybe hoped that my views and experience may be of interest to some. Please feel free to ask anything you wish, I have had many experience's with regard to this subject and willing to share those if anyone wants. Thanks for reading this,
Respect and regards to you all,
Bob

i am a male with 38b breasts, they have always been large. have no problems having large boobs for a man, but they ache a lot because i also run a lot. wearing a bra has helped, but feel strange wearing one at times. would like to know if there are any other men with this problem, am straight and do not crossdress except for wearing a bra as needed.
