It is not unusual for men to wear a bra! I do and because I have breasts I wear one daily! It causes grief by what people say and do! It is not because I wear a garment that mainly is considered women’s, it is because society cannot handle something that is out of the realm of what society perceives as normal! I admit now, I wish I had full feminine breasts because I am proud of my breasts and I love wearing sexy bras! My wife loves buying them for me! I wish people would get over themselves! The first reaction is “You Must Be Gay!” NO! It doesn’t mean that! It means I have breasts! I like having breasts! My wife loves it too! “Best of both worlds” she says! We are looking into ways to have them be as real as ever!

Hi

There was no offence intended. It is something that I had never considered, and I found it interesting. I certainly can’t see any reason not to, especially if you have the wherewithal to fill them, and such a supportive (no pun intended :-) ) wife.

Good luck to you.

Had I better watch out, Susie?
Interesting though….Rikosound…do you wear it primarily for comfort, or for a touch of sexy luxury? Just curious…wish i could do without one myself….blooming uncomfortable things with wires and scratchy bits….

You wear a bra because of the size of your breasts or because of the breasts you want and did not get.

Yes men wear bras. Some of us for the right reasons and the rest of us because it just feels good. It could be a fetish or some gender identity thing but we are most likely not gay.
I wear a 36A lightly padded underwire just about every day. It gives me a nice shape and keeps nipples hidden .

I wear a padded bra because it is the only thing that helps with sore nipples and growing some breat tissue from weight loss. I am a strait mail

I wear a bra because it feels good. Also to hold my size D breast forms and in thefuture for my silicone breast implants.

Although my chest measures about 42-44 I do have an A cup being that it measures a little over an inch larger there. I have found that not being able to get larger A-cup bras that most of the 36A bras will actually stretch to 44 inches or there are extenders available. I currently am enjoying a 36A Water-Bra from WalMart. My panties on the other hand, are from Target, their Gilligan & O’Malleys seamless micro-fiber bikinis are truly the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn. No I am not gay and am a true heterosexual. Wearing these clothing items just make me feel sexy underneath my clothes. (Thanks Shakira!)

My sister started me wearing my mothers under things before I started school. We both wore bras with the cups stuffed with panties around the house. Then my sister grew breasts and I just kept on wearing bras now with foam rubber for breasts. M y parents allowed me to continue until I went out on my own. Now I wear silicone breast forms and soon I will get breast implants. I wanted breasts all of my life and now will get as real ones as possible. In this life you must do what you feel is right for you.

I am 40 yr old male and wear bras because I have back pain . I find the back strap and pressure sit on the spot where it hurts … I dont wear it for pleasure but to ease the pain between my shoulders . I wear clear nail polish because my nails are brittle and split it two layers .. I also wear a thong because I get a rash from wearing men’s briefs and still want support to stop moving .. I wear nylons because I work all day on my feet and my calfs get sore and I get leg cramps… I wear these things for comfort so I can continue living everyday. Im not gay and my spouse understands these things and is behind me all the way …….. Thankz …….

I was over-weight and developed man-boobs, when I graduated high school I lost weight but the man-boobs remained. I was fitted at a lingerie store and fill out a 44B. I wear them for support, some of the more feminine effects of bra wearing ( lift, projection, lace,) can’t be helped so you get used to it. It’s sad that society cannot accept men wearing bras yet, especially for medical reasons.

I wear 44G bra with huge forms. I am a man and old enough to know what I enjoy, and not caring what other people think. And I will continue for as long as I wish. Get over it if it bothers you.

Boobman, as far as I can see it hasn’t bothered anybody here yet. What anybody chooses to wear, or why, certainly doesn’t bother me, as long as it doesn’t alarm the horses. :-)

Curiouser and curiouser , said Alice.

that is in no way a discriminatory judgement,m just an observation. That anyone should choose to wear the bloody things if they don’t have to amazes me….unfortunately if i went without it would DEFINITELY frighten the horses….

I, Myself, am a male and have a pair of BIG 46D manboobs that grew out naturally. I not only wear a brassiere to support them but also a ladies one-piece swimsuit to cover them when I go to the beach. Big Wow; If you got ‘em, don’t be ashamed of ‘em!

I wear a 34A bra, because it fits me well and gives me a nice figure and relaxed feeling. I also wear panties and grdle with stockings more or less on a daily basis and for the same reason.
However, our society is not always as tolerant as one would expect.

I wear a 40c bra I was wearing a 38c bra tell walmart got in the bigger bra it is padded and that is a good thing I use to use the cotton bra but my nipples keep geting sore and then the crack and bleed the only thing that helps I found out from trying my wifes padded bra is that it blocks my nipples from rubbing so A Padded Bra has worked really well for me. I find my nipples are not so sore when I use a padded bra. My Wife hates it but I don’t expect her to like it just accept it and let me use it when I need to.

I have to wear a padded bra also. I have a condition called Candia to much yeast and my nipples get so sore my boobs are bigger than normal and my back hurts from all the weight so A bra helps hold my bigger boobs from saging and causing pain and the padded bra helps my nipples from geting sore. My wife understands helped me get a padded bra. SHe didn’t want to but she did because she loves me.

I wear a padded bra because it helps my nipples from not getting so sore. I have a yeast condition. My doctor also said from taking a purple pill prolosec that is caused me to get a new conditon called phoforisis it is larger brest and sore nipples and he said there is a increase of men who need some sort of support and protection from rubbing nipples said there is a breakdown in the skin from this condition his recomendation is a padded bra sevral hours a day.

Good to find, that there are more men like me. I regularly wear a 40 A or 40 B depending on the fit. I have had fairly large breasts since I was 15. First started wearing a Sports Bra for Sports only to stop jiggling and hurting of my breasts. I have the best experience with Bras from Anita, especially the Micro Energen. It’s expensive, but extremly comfortable.

I wear a bra due to gynecomastia and being a little overweight. I need a bra for support and to cover my nipples that are pointy. Also, I love the way a bra feels when I wear one. I feel naked when I don’t.

I have worn a bra for over 50 years, ever since my then girlfriend told me that I needed to wear a bra as I was bigger in that department than her. I am a 42C, my projection is quite noticeable and I do nothing to hide the fact that I wear a bra, if the straps show through my shirt, so what? I have no problems with buying bras, or panties for that matter, and usually let the sales assistant realise they are for me. I have been married twice and neither had any objection, realising that it was something I needed.

Unlike some of the posts I’ve read here, I don’t wear bras for any medical reason; I simply love big breasts. I am a 6′ male who’s been happily married for 35 years. I’ve crossdressed for 20 years. Ten years ago I got tired of cheap imitations, and paid a small fortune to have custom fit breasts (4 lbs each) made for me. I wear them daily with 40H sized bras from Prima Donna, Rigby and Peller, and Fantasie. I’ve found the more expensive bras fit better and offer better support. I don’t want to be a woman but love wearing breasts and beautiful lingerie. My crossdressing has made more appreciative of the female perspective.

I’ve had gynecomastia since I was 11 or 12 years old. I never swam without a t-shirt on. When I was about 19 my girlfriend looked at me and told me she was “trying to figure out what was wrong with” me. Well, I had bigger boobs than she did. I tried on others’ bras (mother’s - sister’s - niece’s - girlfriend’s - friend’s mother’s) in secret. Since then I’ve put on weight, and now I have C or D cups. It’s only recently that I started buying my own bras over the internet and wearing them regularly. It’s really comfortable. I don’t think anyone has ever noticed. It’s also convenient. Sometimes I carry around a little extra cash in my bra, in case of emergencies!

I have always loved breasts from way back when in the 50’s, when I first discovered girls had them and we did not. So I got married in the 60’s and had a spouse with beautiful breasts… they were great. In the 70’s she came down with a disease called anorexia. By the time she got through it, she had no breasts remaining… what a bummer… but she survived. Breasts still remain a main interest in me (a male). Finally decided to do something about it in my late age (64). Taking pills to develop breasts on my chest. So far so good. Have been wearing a bra for the past several months to get used to it. With time in a bra, I can say most of the time you forget it is there. A little development in the breast area so far after a few weeks… hope for more. I guess this is the only way I get to experience breasts in the future… wish me luck! Will I wear a bra… you bet… it gives me a perspective on the female side of things… and it does feel good. Still a straight male, but with a breast fetish all my life.

I had breast implant surgery a few months ago. I now have my very breasts. I got silicone and they are so real. Now I really am a 40 d. I still just wear a bra and under my male clothing. I do get looks and I am soooo pround to be a man with my very own set of breasts.
