Guy who enjoys wearing bras here

[cheerfulgreek]

o.k. But do you think he's a little on the very strange side? C'mon he's a guy wearing a bra.

Well, yeah, of course at first I do think he is a little strange. But then when I think about it more, and read his posts, all he is really doing is wearing 1 harmless undergarment under his clothes where he doesn't want people to see. I'm sure we all have things we do in private that people would think are strange. ccutoff seems like a normal 20 year old guy. I am 19. If one of my friends wore a bra like ccutoff, I wouldn't think they were any stranger than before I knew the fact.

If I saw a normal guy like ccutoff out in public somewhere wearing a bra(outside of Victoria's Secret of course), I would think they are strange. That's because I wouldn't know anything about them. But ccutoff has given us the scoop on his bra wearing habit, and I understand him completely, to the point where I don't think he is strange. I personally wouldn't wear a bra, nor do I plan on it, but its better him doing that than cross dressing, doing drugs, etc.

P.S. for ccutoff: Check out http://answers.yahoo.com/ and search for the word bra, etc. There are so many questions/answers similar to what you are asking for here. You can even ask your own questions and have them answered quickly.

No offense to any of the posters in this thread, you all have done a good job replying to ccutoff's posts. But Yahoo Answers is a good place to get even more opinions on things like this, though I doubt the answers will be as personal and in-depth like they are here than at YA

I don't know. It's really hard for me to say. He's very straight forward so this makes him look very comfortable doing this, but a bra is made for a woman. I mean that's like a woman wearing a cup that's used for protecting a penis. I would think she was a little of her rocker just like ccutoff.

I just feel like the other members on here think I'm strange for thinking he's strange. I wear a bra because I'm a woman. He's a guy. How is it that there's nothing wrong with this? You seem to have a lot of knowledge about this. Help me understand, please.

Don't feel bad about it, because I and probably everyone else including ccutoff understand why you think he is strange. I know why you think so, its because this is new to you. Have you ever known any other guy who likes to wear bras other than ccutoff? The initial shock value of this is probably getting to you. I'm sure this is a new concept to some other people in this thread too, they are just quicker to be understanding at first I guess, while for you cheerfulgreek it might take some time to understand and accept what ccutoff does.

Yeah, the first time I saw a guy wearing a bra at work was shocking and I thought the guy was weird, etc, because my co-workers never warned us about guy shoppers like that. But now I have seen so many that ccutoff is just another one and it doesn't shock or wow me anymore, especially because ccutoff is nothing compared to others I have seen. I mean, at least ccutoff isn't wearing sleeveless tops and letting his bra straps peek out for the world to see, you know? That would be disturbing(and I have seen plenty of it).

But in the end, just think of it this way. It's a bra. Just a bra, nothing more, nothing less. Something that has 2 straps, 2 cups and a band. Something that can't even be seen most if not all of the time in ccutoff's case. He isn't hurting anyone, and its something that makes him happy. If it makes him happy, I am glad for him. As long as he isn't hurting anyone or anything else, I could care less. Like I said - its better him to do that rather than do drugs, child porn, pedophelia, etc... It could be much worse. And though society says that bras are for women, there are no hard ground rules or laws that state a bra is specifically for women. Society created the notion that bras are for only for women.

You're right. I mean it could be worse I guess.

I just..I dunno, it's just really, really strange to me. I think he really needs psychological help. Seriously. It's just not normal, ya know?

No offense taken cheerfulgreek, you seem like a nice girl. I know that this is just part of letting people know that I wear a bra. There is always going to be some people who don't get it right away. But honestly, thanks for your input in this thread. I am glad you have helped keep it alive, since FINALLY talking about my bra hobby after 18 months of silence to myself is not only liberating but also very fun and positive. It's been nothing short of spectacular. Talking about bras is just as fun as wearing them in my opinion

[cheerfulgreek]

o.k. I think you're a very positive person, because you don't get defensive which is the norm on this site but did you ever get worried when you first started wanting to wear them? I mean for example, if I all of a sudden wanted to start wearing a jock strap, I would get really worried and I would think something was psychologically wrong with me. I would try and get help to see what the problem was. Do you see what I mean? You never ever thought that you could be gay? I mean never ever?

Huh...and all this time, I thought that the notion that bras are for women comes from the fact that bras were created to cover and support breasts.

Oh, I know men can get breast cancer. And guys can also develop Gynecomastia. (I've had to help men get preauth for breast reduction surgery before.)

I just got a chuckle out of the idea that society is at fault for the presumption that bras are for women. Bras were invented for people to cover and support breasts. The majority of the time, the people who need that to be done are women. (And, of course, back when bras were invented, the idea of a man having/developing breasts would have been substantially less well known.)

Women generally wear bras out of necessity - the same purpose for which bras were invented. If a guy (or a woman who doesn't necessarily "need" one) wants to wear a bra for "fun," I don't really care one way or the other.
