bras in society

[princessmichelle]

Hi all,

I want to share three daydreams/questions about men wearing bras (I wish society would accept it more):

1) Is it becoming more acceptable for men to wear bras because of medical issues like gynecomastia?

2) Between gynecomastia and cds, will we ever see a Playtex or Maidenform or whoever "bra for men" Walmart display or television ad? If one of the famous, brand name bra companies marketed to men would the bra be less appealing to me/us as cds?

3) Are men & women equally hostile to men wearing bras?

I bet any bra for men, they'd just ditch the lace and charge double the price

[Butterfly Bill]

I would imagine "bras for men" would be as successful as Man-ties (IOW not much) CDs wouldn't like them, because they want to wear women's clothes. Other men wouldn't want them, because they don't have boobs that bounce too much if they don't. There might be a niche market for gynecomasts, but not too terribly profitable.

[Jasmine Ellis]

don't know but I bet you they wouldn't be lace ones or as beaty

Men will rather bind their "breast" or go to a surgeon than wearing bras.
Don't forget about the "power" of the urge to be manly.

[Teresa Amina]

Better bet would be those binders the FtM guys use. Gynecomastia patients aren't usually happy about their boobs and would want to hide them.
As for us don't we do this because we like pretty girly stuff?

1) No 2)No 3)Yes Love and xxxx, Lily

You can have them. From a GG I hate the things but unfortunatly cant get away without wearing one.

What I want to know is with all of the "hormones" in today's food, I wonder if men will end up evolving to grow breasts. That is if the incident rate of gyno is increasing, then does that point to a trend that we're evolving?

Think about that for a while. I mean, look at girls that are 8 years old that are growing breasts now. I can tell you that when I went through elementary/junior high, there weren't that many girls with "big" breasts. Now it's almost commonplace it seems. If our food* is affecting girls at an ever increasingly early age, then how can that not affect the male gender as well?

* That is if you buy into this argument that food is a contributor (at least in part) to earlier puberty...

I think if they made a bra for men
I don't think it would be the same
Maybe just too macho

[psdibe]

Wearing a bra is one of the things that makes me feel more feminite. I wear one every day I can. I have gotten to the point that there are daays that I don't even remeber that i am wearing one. This is the point I want to get to, wearing panties, a bra and stockings when it is cool enough and have it be natural.

Bet if you stamped NASCAR on a bra and put the car number across each breast. Maybe a few flames and one of those naked girl silhouette like you see on redneck guys truck mudflaps that you'd have every nascar nut wearing a bra in a heartbeat. Hehehe

Official bra of NASCAR!! Get yours at your local autoparts dealer, in the isle betweer the pine scent air freshner and the lugnut wrenches.

Let's see!.....the 38D car sponsored by Victoria's Secrets driven by (Tony Stewart???) I think with the paint scheme there's be a lot of drivers in the wall from lack of attention.... Of course they'd all be striving to win the Playtex Cup Championship!

Yeah we can always hope, but I am afraid for sometime yet to come the marketing gurus will not see enough of a sales base to make the move to ever satisfy our wants... Just remember when skirts for guys were introduced?

Besides with our luck they would make em as utilitarian as combat boots...

Well from the "Queen City" Which happens to be the birthplace of NASCAR or so they say, Why not you can get panties and bras with numbers on them already, A Sports bra is my favorite undergarment in the fall/winter anyway. Plus lots of those huge hunks of beer enriched NASCAR beefcakes could uses some support. Sheesh some have more than enough, C's going on D's.

Would all men’s bras have to be front hook????? Tiffany

Nahhh, like mens underwear once on they rarely need to be removed or changed!! And if the cups could also act as beer can holders..... that would be a real selling point!!

"Hey Bubba...looks like you got a whole six pack in there!! Give me one of them suckers!!". "Git your hands of my #*/$*!!#*...."

Let's face it, Princess... We wear bras because of their status as a gender icon, not because of the neccessity to hold anything up.

Manbra? No. (Though there is such thing as a "manbra" -- but its for women.)
