To not have sex for 8 years because I have small breasts

I know men strongly prefer larger breasts, that's what 99% look at, and want, even when the rest of a woman's figure is just straight up and down as long as she has big boobs it's hot/amazing etc to them.

I know I could get laid (men will sleep with anything that isn't Quasimodo), but I don't want to be settled for, a body just to use but that they aren't really turned on by.

So I just don't feel like sex, never in the mood, I don't want to be dating where a man is just eyeing up other bustier women all the time and feeling unsatisfied/wishing there were two balloons up top in bed.

I have tiny boobs. A cup bra. I have a great sex life and it’s never bothered me, but if it did I would have been reassured by several lovers who have specifically told me that they prefer small boobs and love mine. Some men really do prefer smaller ones.

I wish I had small breasts and I know that there would be enough men who would find me attractive. Even if they like big breasts, one single thing isn’t what makes a relationship even if it was the first thing they look at.
Ultimately it’s personality that is important and often your natural odour.
I know women who have had a boob job to please their men but I absolutely thinks the men are vile and women controlled or stupid to undergo surgery for that reason.

I’m so sorry that you’ve fixated on this… it sounds like your self-esteem is the reason you’ve closed yourself off to sex/men….
Please get some counselling and work on building yourself up, you deserve to be loved xx

(And it’s absolute nonsense what you believe, I’ve heard a straight man describe large breasts “like udders” and many prefer small ones. But most go for PERSONALITY, and please know it is hard to love someone who doesn’t love herself)

pinkstripeycat · 04/08/2025 10:45

If we are going on physical appearance only.

My experience is that men who have been attracted to me over the years aren’t interested in large breasts but are more in to bottoms.

I have small breasts. No one has ever mentioned them at all, ever. I think the men who like big boobs wouldn’t approach me as I am not their type.

Men have often mentioned my bottom. Men I’ve dated and random men (not in a creepy way) and my husband.

Idontknowhatnametochoose · 04/08/2025 10:43

Of course not all men want women with big ones!

I'm a B cup and all previous partners have been delighted with them.

I'm quite petite person so anything larger wouldn't look right.

This is about you and your limiting beliefs, not men.

JollyRoseBiscuit · 04/08/2025 10:43

My mam always had double a's and had the same mindset as you. Asked for a boob job for christmas one year.... since then ive learned its been rather the relationship killer. I also prefer a small boobed lady. Anything bigger than a handful is a waste..

EmeraldShamrock000 · 04/08/2025 10:42

Ah, the thread is back.
OP, small breasts are really attractive and despite top heavy glamour models, most men prefer the natural look.
My niece is nearly flat chested. She is very confident and looks great.

You need more help then you're going to get on here, you need counselling love.

One man I knew once said that anything more than a handful is a waste.

thatsthatsaidthemayor · 04/08/2025 00:05

Men these days seem to be more interested in arses. I was a 32A most of my life. After babies and being overweight I had empty tits. Got breast enhancement. Then my husband left me.

So your husband has never really liked your boobs then. So why didn't he choose a bustier woman if he wanted to be with a woman he genuinely found sexy? This is absolutely what I don't want to happen to me.

She meant that her husband loves her boobs and it has nothing to do with the size of them. It’s not that he’s had to learn to love them because they are small, it’s that he loves them because they are hers doesn’t care about the size 😂

CountryMumof4 · 04/08/2025 00:05

In my experience, men like boobs, legs and bums - but don't necessarily care about the size of any. I've got E cups and, quite frankly, could happily do without them - they're heavy, aren't especially perky these days and I find it tricky to look elegant. You'll likely still be perky for many years to come and have so many fabulous clothing options that don't make you look matronly or OTT cleavagy. Try to embrace your body as it is - there are lots of men out there that either prefer smaller breasts or simply don't mind the size. One of my friends has A cups and is absolutely stunning - she's got an endless array of admirers.

I meant my husband did not need to 'learn to love them', he just did. So I've been spared the dreadful fate you so fear 🙄

I don't think she was saying that her husband doesn't love her boobs. I think she was saying he hasn't had to learn to love them; he loved them from the beginning.

CyanMaker · 04/08/2025 00:04

I sometimes felt my small breasts were inadequate and even expressed this feeling to my husband once . He responded with "Any more than a mouth full is a waste". We were married for 49 years before he passed away. I hope this post isn't offensive. I just wanted to point out that it takes more than big boobs to keep a man interested!

Screamingabdabz · 04/08/2025 00:03

As someone with a large matronly bust, trust me, you do not want the kind of Neanderthal pervs that slather over that. Most of the lovely men I’ve met in my life were indifferent to the actual size and smaller boobs give your clothes a much more flattering drape.

Please, please try and get over this warped sexist mindset that you’re too imperfect to please men. Flip the thinking that men should be out of their mind with gratitude to have someone as awesome as you in their company.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with small breasts . I prefer them to these massive things that a lot of women have surgery for.
I was with a lady many years ago that refused to take her top off because she only had small boobs .
You are what you are , be proud of what you have .
Big boobs only gives you bad backs and sweat rashes.

I never talk to 19 year olds 😅I don't speak to many men in real life about this, why would they be honest anyway? It'd also be really out of place and not appropriate for most of the men I know.

If you 100% know that your DH likes smaller breasts then good for you 😁

It's quite obvious you don't speak to many men in RL...

Obviously not all I said most. Whenever we say 'all' it's never right.

How strange that you don't take this great lesson to your own thinking about men...

Very shallow way of looking at things

I just want a man to find me attractive and desirable. I didn't say that appearances are the only thing that matter.
