I'm not so sure "wishful thinking" is the right way to put it. Sure there are times when I wish they were real, but those times generally coincide with when I'm actually wearing them. When I'm in male mode, it's usually because I feel masculine. During those times I don't want breasts. That's why I panicked when I thought I was wearing them around the guys, because I really felt as if they were there when they weren't.

But you're right. Its not the same exact thing as phantom sensations cause I never had the nerve endings to begin with. I just figured maybe it was similar. Like how if you have your hair cut and it feels like you should have more hair than you do. You're so used to having more hair that it feels off for a while.
