I just read that one of the top 10 cosmectic surgries is "Male Breast Reduction".

hummmm interesting. Why can't some more of us CDers be lucky enough to need that. It would take it out of the top ten. LOL

I remember reading about that years ago and being very relieved that I was obviously not the only man who felt his breasts were too big. It made me feel much better.

A few years ago I started going to the gym. That's when I realized I had pecs, not boobs. Also those pecs got far more muscular and the excess fat got to be much less so they don't bounce now. With a result that I can almost fill an AA cup even though my breasts don't look anything like my wifes A breasts. Also I am not embarrassed about them any more.

Looking at old pictures, in my early 20's I was pretty flat chested. If I had to hazard a guess I would say that using far too much marijuana in my mid and late 20's had something to do with increase in breast size, since it is known to do this. Not that I would recommend this as a course of action, what with all the carcinogens, brain fog, and not to mention illegality of it.

I too have 'male breasts', a nice A cup. I had heard years ago that smoking pot would cause this, but didnt believe it ( so many myths about pot from ages past and all). I believe mine came about from a drastic weight loss. I had small ones when in my 20's, but once I lost weight and slimmed down from a 50" waist to 36", appearantly, the body fat had to go someplace.
I for one would not want to have the reduction, i like mine , and enjoy the 'bounce' i get when walking in heels, and love how I've had to learn a little about how to do things without getting them in the way.

I'm keeping mine.

I, like Terrilynn have a case of man-boobs. My wife and I are just beginning to learn to deal with this. Would I have removed? Absolutely NO. They developed naturally and it would be like unnecessarily removing a limb. We both will just have to get use them. I am afraid they are here to stay.

Amanda I like your philosophy. In general the idea of having a surgeon remove a part of my body because I don't like how it looks seems to me to have something intrinsically very wrong with it..

I got to thinking and went to a site about breast reduction. Quite a few women have it done because really large breasts can lead to back and neck problems. Under the part dealing with men it said that excessive drinking and marijuana use are contraindicators for male breast reduction because both can lead to increased breast size and surgery will not address the cause. So I guess it isn't just anti drug fokelore.

Actually, smoking pot made my breasts grow to a beautiful B-cup, filled out my hips and made my body curves sublime and smooth, my hair gorgeous. My girlfriend said all I needed was a little lipstick to make me totally beautiful, which she was happy to apply.

....then the next morning I woke up.

Nice Chrissie, real nice!!!! I thought for a moment I was going to have to go out in search of some grass!!!

I remember, in another life, a mother asked me if our insurance would pay for her son to have "breast reductions" as he was literally catching hell at school and for a 14 year old it was devastating. It was initially turned down but I went to the home office and almost became physical with the underwriters before they "saw the errors of their ways!" They paid for it and the letter that the mother sent us, I guess it is still posted in a very prominent place - just to kind of remind us what we are about! From what I understood later, the Dr's. took a little over four pounds of "material" out of this kid's chest!

I guess the down side is we = crossdressers, lost a "convert!"

There is a report, that says with all of the Hormones being given to animals to stimulate growth and the ground water is showing signs of increase Hormones, it is not a wonder that more men do not have breasts. It is a known fact that as men get older the t-Hormones decreases, which allows the e-Hormones to express itself. I have seen this in myself. I have noticed over the last couple of years that my breasts have enlarged. When I bend over the sink to brush my teeth, I can look down and see real breasts, not peck mussle.

My wife used to tell a few years ago that I had fat deposits on my pecs and that they would go away with diet, but in recent times she point blank told me she was wrong, and that I have breasts. Mine are more round and soft like a womans.
