Me: 6' 4" 240 lbs, workout, very youthful, well employed, great lover, excellent communicator and I have man boobs. I keep them hairless so they are not gross looking. I wear a bra for compression so that I can wear stylish shirts that fit me properly.

My wife of 18 years accepted me and my boobs. She actually loves them in bed when we are making love. She likes to give them attention :-). She told me that she loves every inch of me including my boobs.

Here are my boobs, so could you be like my wife and accept them?

Sorry, this site would not let me post links until I have made 15 posts. I will give you a visual. The nipples are woman like and I am a 44B. They do not sag, they perk upwards. My wife says that they are not gross looking like many man boobs are.

Never have I been so happy for our anti-spam measures.

My wife would be fine if I gained enough weight to have man-boobs. She loves me for me. She'd probably worry about my health though, since man-boobs necessarily come with a high BMI.

Moobs can happen with low BMI, if you have a hormonal imbalance, such as happens when you are taking steroids.

Saw a medical show on a boy who had this. He had the breast material surgically removed. It was an interesting show in that they still put the blur over his nipples BEFORE the surgery, but not after. I suppose they were trying to be fair in their absurdity.

Honestly? I'd love to say, "sure, why not?" but I have no idea how I'd feel in that situation. Most likely as long as they weren't bigger than mine, I'd be okay with it.
And as long as "all else was in order" as the OP said (and here I'm talking mostly about health, compatability, etc).

It's called gynecomastia. Might want to talk to your doctor. According to the references on the Wiki, it can be an indicator of testicular cancer.

Only have 12 posts, can't post a link until I hit 15. It's like high school all over again. "No you can't drive the car until you're 16!"

men have breasts just like women do they are just flatter. They can be just as sensitve as some women's too or as untouchable as some women's. Men with larger muscle and fat in their breasts as long as they are healthy are no worry to me. I give the man what he wants. If he wants me to enjoy his chest, by god I shall....and with vehemence. I have no inhibitions about it. What is sexy to me is when someone is comfortable with who they are and their preferences. And even if they arent I will help them get there if they want to.

Dont leave my hands or mouth empty during sex...thats all I ask...let me enjoy you...

You seem like the ultimate "open minded" wife :-)

I am not a wife to CD. I am his GF. But I do take the compliment! Thank you!

Up to 90% of male population can have undiagnosed gynecomastia and some say it can be a sign of a more serious underlying disease.

i have a mild case of gynecomastia.

Oestrogen in the water is giving you all tits and lower sperm rates.
'Causes of Man Boobs
Oestrogen This female sex hormone is mitogenic, meaning it causes cells to divide and multiply. Man boobs result when the levels of oestrogen rise, as a consequence the ratio of testosterone to oestrogen becomes unbalanced. Oestrogen and testosterone cause the secondary sexual characteristics to develop at puberty. Both sexes make both hormones, men making principally testosterone, women oestrogen. Testosterone causes muscle mass to increase, deepening of the voice and body hair to grow in men. Oestrogen stimulates the breasts and ovaries to develop and the fatty layer covering humans to thicken in women, emphasizing the hips. An excess of oestrogen will increase these feminizing traits in men. Excess oestrogen can arise from numerous causes: pesticides and industrial chemicals which mimic the action of oestrogen, also called xeno-oestrogens, are now found in food, water, air and skin care products, particularly sunscreens. Other causes of excess oestrogen are drugs, tumours, malnutrition and foods containing phytosterols like soy which have an oestrogenic affect.
Androgen antagonists or antiandrogens can cause man boobs, i.e., the drugs spironolactone, finasteride, flutamide and cyproterone. These drugs are given to suppress testosterone in prostate cancer, BHP etc. But by suppressing testosterone, oestrogen begins to rise.
HIV medications, in particular efavirenz, used in HAART treatment
Anti-anxiety drugs eg. valium
Antidepressants particularly the older tricyclic antidepressants
Corticosteroids
Cimetidine an ulcer medication which enhances oestrogen activity
Chemotherapy
Heart medications
Alcohol
Amphetamines
Marijuana
Heroin
Antipsychotics These are known to cause high levels of prolactin (hyperprolactinemia), leading to a milky discharge (galactorrhoea). Risperidone increases prolactin to a greater extent than other atypical antipsychotics. High prolactin levels can be caused by factors other than antipsychotic drugs. A lack of protein in the diet, leading to a deficiency in the amino acid tyrosine can cause it. Tyrosine is the precursor to dopamine, a drop in dopamine levels stimulates prolactin release. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter responsible for sexual arousal, prolactin counters the effect of dopamine. Hyperprolactinemia is thought to be a cause of impotence and loss of libido. In a pregnant woman, high levels of progesterone prevent the release of prolactin, the same would apply in men using supplemental progesterone. The drop in progesterone levels at childbirth signals the release of prolactin. It's at this point the foetus can absorb prolactin from the mother, leading to both male and female babies sometimes secreting milk from their nipples. Commonly known as Witch's milk, this affect is generally short lived. Stress can drop dopamine levels thereby increasing prolactin levels. Tyrosine is not only the precursor to dopamine, but to the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline which are released when stressed. Supplemental tyrosine affectively counters the release of prolactin, increases dopamine levels and by the same token increases libido if the drop is caused by excess prolactin. Progesterone also causes an increase in dopamine by suppressing prolactin. Progesterone is a mono amine oxidase inhibitor. Mono amine oxidase is an enzyme that breaks down dopamine and serotonin to name two. Due to this action progesterone is helpful in depression. Oestrogen causes prolactin to rise by suppressing progesterone.
See under More Information below for further drugs that can cause man boobs.

Other causes of man boobs...
Tumours in the pituitary, adrenals and testes
Hypogonadism, which results in low levels of testosterone
Excess thyroxine caused by an over active thyroid
Kidney failure which affects the testicles
Androgen resistance syndrome where cells fail to respond to androgens in the blood stream
Chronic liver disease, liver failure, and cirrhosis
Adrenal malfunction
Malnutrition, including feeding after malnutrition, which increases substances for aromatase production
Herbs containing phytosterols, which bind to oestrogen receptors
Foods containing phytosterols, particularly soy, have oestrogenic affects. Soy reduces the sperm count in men, avoid eating it
Congenital testicular regression, where the testes regress back to a less developed state
Herpes zoster
Cystic fibrosis
Myotonic dystrophy
Mental stress
Spinal cord injury
Leukaemia
Hemophilia
Leprosy
Genetic disorders such as Klinefelter's syndrome and Gilbert's syndrome '

Luckily beer was not on the list.

I was born with a badly concaved chest, to the point of deformed. It sort of makes it look like I have boobs, even though I'm a skinny ass geek, though if I'm in good shape it make it look like I have ridiculous sized pecs.

Thing is, no girl I've ever been with has ever had an issue with it. And no girl that's been interested in me in the last 8 years has had a problem with me being bald. Point? I've often found women will overlook a lot of things in light of attributes that are more important to them.

It's funny, of all the reasons I've chosen over the years to have had low self esteem and not feel good enough to be with a lot of people, my physical features has never been one of them, I've just never felt it's been important in the end.

I had sex with a hermaphrodite years ago, and the breasts did not bother me at all. In fact, I did to his/hers what I would have wished for my own.

But having a regular male with breasts... if they're just, you know, moobs from body fat, that's fine. But if they actually breasts because of one of the health issues spoken of up above, it would take me a lot longer to get used to it, if I ever was able to.

I suppose it matters on the man in question, the breast size, our relationship, and our emotional bond.
