Well Im glad I was able to give everyone reading this thread a good laugh. ...

 On that I was asking because of the hormone balance. I have higher levels of testosterone in my blood and lower estrogen levels and that is because of dialysis. I complained sooo much to my OB/GYN that he was willing to try to put me on a low dose of birth control pills.
 I was asking becaue I notice with the lower levels of estrogen/high levels of testosterone, I get a few strans of facial hair, acne, and slightly shrinkage in the chest. So, wondering about anyone else too...

I spent years in the gym getting those pecs big and wide.  I managed to get my chest measurement up to 52”.  After a couple of years of trying to stay alive and no gym sessions, I am up to a “B” cup.  Wanna feel?

Oh my lovlies you didn't possibly think you could get a thread like this going and somehow avoid me finding it?! I mean.. REALLY!?!?  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I may not be the tittie fairy (I'm not gay ;) ) but I have the following observations to make - some sersious, some not so much.

- I now know more about a few of our fairer members' boobs than I ever dreamed I would. This could come in handy someday  >:D

- As Monrein said - I am one of those men that isn't so much about the size, but what happens with them, what you (as a couple) do with them and what the owner enjoys. There are plenty of arguments/reasons as to why larger breasts are NOT good for women - eg: heavy/uncomfy bras, strain on the back, "gravity" etc...)
- I do get it's a personal thing that if you feel you've lost something like that you're not quite "you" and perhaps you feel a bit less sexy or desireable (much like some men and losing hair, etc). I don't think that many of us care that much.
- My junk never got smaller on D and post-tx, I swear it may haeve even increased a bit !!!!! damn you, steroids!!!!  :rofl;
- I've had some ladies tell me in the past that when it comes to losing and putting on weight, some have noticed that the first place to lose it has been the bust, and the last to get it back is there too... and I knew one lady on a extreme weight loss reigeme but it was one of her personal downsides to the great effort she was making "My cleavage just won't be as awesome now!" - I don't think she liked it when I laughed  >:D

And for all those who want another angle... I'm not sure which tx drug it is, it's either pred or maybe cyclosporin, but one of the suckers I am on has a noted side effect of "male breast growth"  !!!!! And Im thinking - wtf?! sexist bloody drug.. why can't the girls get melons? I think I may have that a bit - or I'm just getting old and gross!!!

I could say more, but I fear it would get more and more inappropriate, so I shall finish here (for now!)  >:D

So glad you showed up Richard, and thanks for your comments! You give us laughs and we enjoy it. Girls have a never ending love hate with their breasts and their weight. I am past menopause so my breasts are fuller and I like it, but do not like the spread and all. I am no longer thin like I used to be sigh...but I have gray hair and wrinkles and thankfully I am married and have a husband who still thinks I am pretty. Like I said the tittie fairy comes back for most girls, and maybe she drops a little angel dust on the guy sleeping next to her. Man boobs don't bother me anyway.
