So, I Am a little over 3 months on E (4mg EEN) and yesterday I saw my boss for a meeting after quite some time (havent really seen him for like 4-6 weeks) and this man straight up sees me and is like “Wow, youre growing boobs”. I mean, yeah I Am, but I was not aware, that they are this obvious.

However, for now I have no fear that I can no longer boymode, since I wore a relatively thin (but really cool) pullover through which you can in fact see my boobs. If I wear a hoodie, you can’t see anything.

That was definitely quite an affirming and funny interaction.

    why did you start wearing bras after getting pierced?

    I always wish I had the confidence to go braless in public, but I think it would attract unwanted attention 🤔 I’ll do it maybe if I have like a knit sweater or layers on that hide the nipple, but it feels too sexually explicit to wear my normal shirts without a bra 😅

      Because it makes the nipples more visible under shirts. When you’re wearing something baggy with subtle nipples it’s fine, but when they’re always prominent it’s less so.

        I keep having a strong desire to pierce my nipples, but I’m currently just suppressing those desires - how was your experience?

        Makes sense re visibility; I also get the sense that piercings also lead people to see the nipple in a more sexualized way, which also tips the balance.

        I don’t tend to wear baggy clothes now, so that might also be part of why I always wear a bra 😁

          I love it, it’s kinda a pain in the ass in some ways, but I really like what it adds to my boobs. They’re definitely an inconvenient piercing as they take long to heal and close up really fast.

          And yeah they definitely add to the sexualization which can be a plus or minus. Like I don’t want my in laws to catch sight of it, even if I am a very “free the nipple” type. And it’s not like I hide my piercings when I’m topless in public, it’s a small enough change that I don’t see any difference in that context.

          But yeah if you’ve planning on surgery you’ll want them to heal and to get some plastic jewelry for recovery. And speaking from personal experience, it was stupid as hell to get my nipples pierced 3 months after bottom surgery.

          And yeah I’ve also generally shifted from baggy clothes over the past few years. In general I’m glad I got them pierced.
