Why do I like them so much?

[AllyM]

I am trying to understand why I like my breasts so much. I am posting this here because I believe the girls here may understand my feelings.

I truly feel I am inbetween genders. For example, I just took a survey about "How Girly are you?". The finding was 55% Girly. Now I know this is just a silly survey, but I have done a number of these and always land right in the middle favoring the feminine. I saw a therapist awhile back and she found me to be right in the middle or what she referred to as "Intersexed". Thus, Tomboy. All this being said, here is my question to you...

Why do I like my breasts so much? I have had a hormone issue for years and they just grew, full Bs. (This was a surprise to both my wife and I, but it is what it is.) I do not notice them much during the day, but when I do this warm feeling of happiness comes over me. I wear a bra regularly, but I hide it from the public. At times I get this tingling feeling in my nipples and cup my hands over them. That feeling of happiness hits me like a baseball bat. I do not feel like that about the rest of me, just my breasts!

I wear panties because I like them. I shave my legs because it feels good. I wear pantyhose and tights because I find them comfortable and warm during the winter. So, why do I like my breasts so much?

I love my breasts too. I waited a long time to grow my own, and so there I was this morning, sitting on my bed looking in the mirror at my breasts, and a feeling of happiness washed over me. I just could not imagine not having them now (shudder!!), so I know where you are coming from.

I just started, and though everyone tells me that I shouldnt' feel or see anything I do. I believe that it is only the spiro I'm feeling. Less desire, and that was almost immediate. The other mental effect, and believe me, getting the right chemistry in my brain has been as important if not more so, than the physical effects. I have been told that I really won't see the effects of the estrogen and progesterone for at least three months. And I believe that to be true. But, I have seen the areaola's have started to darken, and there is a definate ring of bulging skin around the areola's. I do attribute this to my body's natural estrogen level coming up and the testosterone going down. And yet I get this little chilly thrill, when I am looking at my chest. And know that " Soon, soon. " I remind myself that I'm going through a second puberty. And as I know from raising my daughter that the changes will take time. I"m just lucky that I KNOW for sure that I have started that puberty. I can't wait, no matter how good or bad it might seem. It's the female experience I've so longed for... Carol

I am exactly as you are, although I think I was like 57 or 60% femme but still.


Two spirits.

I love mine as well, they are a physical representation of the womanly body I will never have, that nad my hips/butt - but the breasts first and foremost.

I am clearly sticking out of ANY shirt I wear now, but don't care, love it! :)

I guess the realization is truly that I finally got and have accepted what I always have wanted. I do cherish them and appreciate having been given them. What a wonderful gift!

You like them because they are the physical edification of just who you are, who you want to be, who you feel like, who you will be, who you..... :)

You like your breasts because they are yours. I've had mine for over 20 years and love my girls. Knowing they are with me 24/7, makes me feel so good inside.

Your therapist is probably wrong.

To be diagnosed as Intersexed (hermaphrodite) you have to get tested medically.

What she meant probably was you are 3rd gendered, bi-gendered(two-spirit), or gender-fluid.

I am TS but I am a bisexual. I like other women, both TG and GG, and I like guys too.

So I really love my boobs I love them alot.LOL

I've been on HRT just under two months, Carol. My nipples are sore, and I can feel tissue(albeit, very little) growing behind them. So it's different for everyone. It's a wild ride, I'm told. Expect the unexpected. P.S. I feel great! More relaxed and at peace than I can ever remember. That tells me, once and for all, that, I'm doing the right thing. Yay!

hugs,

Melissa:)

I fit in with all the comments to some degree. Why are breasts so much a missing piece of our own self image? We can only speculate.

And right now my SO has about had enough of my breast growth. So issues on the home front. I have been on Estrogens for 2 years or so, mainly for mental health. Carolin mentions, the lowered "desire," and that was a major goal as the lowered desire helps me cope with an agenda of not transitioning (realistic fear of career loss, concern of disrupting a great family, plain old fear, etc). My goal of a balance of Estrogens, enough for a lowered desire and but not enough for breast growth, seems impossible to find. I'm at a point where I have noticeable breasts and, yes they are way cool in my eyes - what I've always wanted - I'm really contented by them. But in interests of domestic harmony I am going off the E for a while. We'll see how it goes. Every day's a new adventure.

hugs,

I love the emotional feel of HRT as well.

The breasts, while they do nothing for me sexually, make me feel better about myself.

If I"m happy everyone around me is happy! :)

The BEST post. I love my little tits. I have a mirror in the bathroom by the toilet and every time I use it I see my cleaveage and do a little dance. I love them so much. Am I just a fetishist? NO! It most certainly goes back to my early psycho-sexual development. Somehow.

i started hrt in july...mentally i felt that from that point on that my breasts were "real"...even tho they are growing ever so slowly...
does that make sense?

i have seen them officially get to an A cup...40A so they are tiny..hehe..but i think going slow is ok...also there is alot of feeling in the area, some painful...wait till you bump your nipple into something hard!! owwwwww

i also am starting to see enough female in the mirror that i get that little happy feeling ....

i'm not saying that i think i look great or anything but
since i started HRT, EVERY time i look in the mirror i feel happy, contented and alive...exactly the opposite of how i felt for the last 40 years of my life

[Scotty]

OK I lied, mine do kinda have a sexual effect but it's not all.

I love that they are Tiny too, but I'm going for full A's and only half an inch out from my goal!!!

They are bouncing a lot lately, and hurting in the right nipple a lot lately (SO pulling on it!)

I may wear a natural bra to martial arts if I can keep it well hidden under my uniform!!
Long as we're not doing take-downs I should be OK! :D

When I met my wife, my nipples suddenly changed. This was about 6 years ago. I'd never had ANY sensation at all in them. Sure, lovers had played with them, but I could never even feel them.
Suddenly, it was like they woke up! They felt electric. Now they are SO incredibly sensitive, and any contact shoots from there, straight to my... well...guess. I don't want to go into uncalled for detail, but my nipples are just as sensitive as my wifes now! I've almost climaxed on nip stimulation alone.
Oh, I've never taken hormones.

I have about A cup breasts that might be described as 'tubular'. Rarely do older TGs get full, woman like breasts with conventional cleavage, but I like my little girls. The anti androgens and estrogen patches have worked OK. I know they would be amusing to a female with their excellent B and C cups, but they work for me. I find my girls comforting and so prefer them to the brats down below that I so wish would go away. My resentment of them has largely abated as the spiro kills the sex drive and they can't help being what they are. Maybe it is cruel to wish them gone-what did they do wrong? Saw a plastic surgeon related to my upcoming surgery due to cancer--he studied, felt my breasts--the enlarged milk glands are definitely there-and mentioned he could do breast reduction surgery. I laughed to myself, like fun he can! I guess my breasts, albeit small, are comforting and friends to my inner female sense. helen

I have to say I am proud of my breasts. When I first started hormone therapyI was worried I wouldn't develop much, but the doctor told me to compare myself with my mother's minus one cup size....well, I matched her much to her chagrin...and my happiness! A nice C-cup!

[Joan Merrie]

Since I've started hormones, my wife can touch them, and the feeling just sends my to my knees. I love it. I'm a 34b right now.:hugs:
