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.

No, I'm afraid this is a real post. I feel insecure about a part of my body and it's put me off sex for years. Why should that be a wind up? I wish it was.

I don't think men prefer large breasts, I find small breasts look great in a blouse.
Who knows, I'm not a man.

I feel like a mug for replying now!!

Why? This is a real post. It's something I've felt uncomfortable with and hated (my breasts) for years.

What a bizzare post.

Men look at faces and would much rather sleep with an attractive women with small breasts than an unattractive woman with large breasts without a shadow of a doubt.

It’s like posting saying women only like a 6 pack. That’s absolutely nonsense. As long as I fancy his face then I’m hooked as are all of my friends. I literally couldn’t give a shit about a 6 pack.

I am the same re six packs. I like a man with broad shoulders but that's got nothing to do with a six pack.

Kindly OP, this is so far from the truth. I have small boobs, used to be self conscious of them when I was a teen but I love them now. I’ve had loads of compliments from men. I remember expressing insecurity in front of a guy when I was much younger about my small boobs and his reply was ‘anything more than a handful is a waste’. Even now, my husband loves them but he’d absolutely always choose bum over boobs! I find it really sad that you’ve convinced yourself they’re this massive deal, they’re really not.

Yabu otherwise supermodels wouldn't be in such high demand

Modelling is a bit different tbf. Its about making the clothes hang right, for women consumers, who don't necessarily want the clothes sexualised to the max.

The truth is different men like different things - just as women do. I genuinely fancy a guy with a faint belly. That doesn't mean I'd pick him as an underwear model if I had to sell the damn stuff. But I do find it attractive IRL. It looks kind of ... manly, like he isn't all fussed about his waist but gets on with life.

I find a slim waisted, snake hips type of guy most off-putting.

Starlight7080 · 03/08/2025 23:55

I think you are not meeting the right type of men.
But also could do with therapy to help you feel happy and confident just how you are.
And realise most men if not all have what would be considered flaws body wise. But its all about confidence.
I have always had a big chest and quite frankly would love them to be small. They hurt my back and cause all sorts off problems . Not to mention clothing never fits right.
And as others have pointed out with children and age they dont stay as pert as smaller do.
Im sure another thread very similar to this was started not that long ago.

My husband has not learned to love my boobs because they're small! The cheek of it 😂

Really? 😂

Very shallow way of looking at things

islaw3048unfln · 03/08/2025 23:18

Which straight men though? Most of them just seem to go on and on about massive ones all the time.

Only the crap ones who aren’t worth having.

NavyRose · 03/08/2025 23:54

My Dh has consistently wanted sex and made me feel attractive over a 12 year period, in that time my breast size has changed significantly through pregnancy/breastfeeding.

I find your outlook on things really sad. And slightly odd.

RedLeicesterRedLeicester · 03/08/2025 23:53

@islaw3048unfln do you like / are you happy with your breasts?
If you feel good about yourself that is attractive to a lot of people

There are lots of famous women without big boobs widely considered sexy; Keira Knightley, Megan Fox and Jessica Alba have all been crowned ‘worlds sexiest woman’ by FHM at one point and none have massive boobs, they’re all quite normal sized. The kind of women labelled as ‘wow’ or ‘hot’ in places like Page 3 or Nuts magazine are obviously not representative of all or even most men!

Nagginthenag · 03/08/2025 23:50

OK, so if you're not on the wind up OP, where are you getting your info from? Do you really think all blokes would prefer Katie Price over, I dunno, Keira Knightley or Amal Clooney? Why would you think men who are in relationships with small breasted women have settled and are secretly lusting after the well endowed?

PoxyAndIKnowIt · 03/08/2025 23:50

Seriously ridiculous. Most women don’t have “big” boobs, they have average ones. Mine, in my younger day were small but I was well fancied and had lots of sex. My DH definitely likes a smaller boob, as do many other men, but I think most don’t care much.
Now I’m older and a few stone heavier my boobs are bigger, but I preferred them before, genuinely.

islaw3048unfln · 03/08/2025 23:36

I meant I want a man to find me fully attractive from the start, not 'learn to love' or 'see past flaws' because of a nice personality over time...

TBH Op if you don't feel "wanted" you don't need to have sex.

I don't think I would want to in those circumstances either.

People on here may disagree with what men want or like, and they may be right, or they may be wrong.

But ultimately that's not really the point. If you don't feel desired then no, you are not BU for not wanting to sleep with them.

But give a few men a chance to get close - if not sleep with you. You might find they venture that they do find you attractive just as you are.

And fwiw pregnancy and BF can go a long way towards an augmentation.

Is that because they all fancy you the same women

Hahahha. What's decidedly wrong with that though, if that OP has her admirers? 😅
