There have been several threads posted here about man "boobs" to which I have responded and have been very open about. Today, however, I was distraught when approached by a young child at the gym at the pool.
I have been swimming as part of my workout regiment. I wear a tank because of my chest, as I do not want bring attention to myself. Today, however, I got to the pool late and notice an unusual amount of children at the pool. I was hesitant and almost left but decided to stay. As I entered the pool, I noticed people looking at me but that is generally the case. Needless to say, I entered and went about my business. As I was awaiting to swim my lap, I over heard a young girl tell her mom, "why does that man have titties like you, mommie? Is he a she? He has a pee pee. You can see it." I was floored. The mother was beet red. I suppose it would not have been so bad if she had not broadcast it loudly for everyone in the pool to hear!
I got out of the pool went to the showers, showered and left. I suppose I thought I was "over" my issues of comfort with my chest/breast until this afternoon. I was really self-conscious. I found myself trying to cover-up, which I normally do, but moreso today than usual. Today was weird. This was weird. It seems once again that this socio-pyschological cognosis is spewing its ugly head to make me question so many things........
