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

336 replies

islaw3048unfln · 03/08/2025 23:13

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.

This thread is an overshare so right place for it 😅

I look like an A cup (although I was measured as a 28C, it looks like an A), and they're still in the same place they were when I was 15! To be honest I can't love them though.

You sound like you have great boobs 28C that are still in the same place as they were 16 years ago - you have the stereotypical perfect body, I think you need to have some confidence in yourself and enjoy them while they are so great & before gravity hits them 😂😂

YABVU! I was a virgin until I was 25 by choice. it’s not about your body.

Have you posted about this before?

I remember a very similar thread a few months ago where the 30 year old OP was absolutely adamant that all men only feel attracted to women with large breasts, if they were in a relationship with a small-breasted woman they'd had to settle, and if they said they liked smaller breasts they were lying. Many posters suggested the OP should get therapy because despite hundreds of posters telling her her beliefs were mistaken, she would not accept it.

Was that you OP?

Beat me to it - wasn’t a few months/ about 4/5 weeks ago
The OP was adamant to a point of bizarreness and it all got very strange…

skymagentatwo · 03/08/2025 23:46

What planet are you on OP? Im sat in bed with my DH and just asked him as i'm not exactly small in the breast dept and he said he always dated women with smaller breasts.

He just said he wished mine were smaller, cheeky bastard 😡

I’m an A cup and my boobs are gorgeous, even if I do say so myself. 🤣

I’m 53 and my small boobs are still pert, plump…,sorry too much of an overshare there! X

Do you not worry that they were secretly disappointed? I wouldn't like having sex with a man who wasn't 100% into me.

I genuinely don’t, it’s my body and if they don’t like it, they don’t need to hop into bed with me. That said, I know from a few close male friends that the same worry we have with our boobs and bums, men have with their manhood.

Boymumma1 · 03/08/2025 23:45

This is such a weird post it’s like you’ve got your information from online porn or something that’s not real life. Most of the men I’ve been with do not have incredible bodies, doesn’t mean I’m unhappy (love a dad bod) or that we have any less fun in the bedroom 😂 I have no boobs at all which I have been very conscious of but it’s never crossed my mind when having sex that the guy is unimpressed by them/unhappy with them - and I don’t live to please men. In my experience as long as you can accept your own body and feel more confident in yourself a man would prefer that much more than massive boobs and a horrendous personality, but it isn’t all about what the man wants. You’re overthinking it, I think you need to really work on making yourself feel more confident and happier in yourself and then you might feel differently. I’ve never heard men go on and on about big boobs either so I’m not sure what you’re watching/who you’re having these conversations with but it doesn’t sound healthy

Going by the similar thread on the sex board I would say it’s very likely not a wind up.

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 03/08/2025 23:32

I can name five of my male friends who prefer smaller breasts

Is that because they all fancy you the same women

I'm 30. I should maybe have been more specific in my post. I'm not talking about men who only value women as a sum of body parts, absolutely not. I'm just talking about being physically sexy and appealing to men; men want to sleep with women they find beautiful and women want to be desirable.

I don't think that's true and can't agree. Good men like an emotional connection, personality and chemistry are important. The rest comes later and they truly, do not care. I don't know how else to tell you. You're going to have to figure it out yourself. Just go out there and make connections. You don't need to post a disclaimer that you have small boobs. Or stretch marks. Or big labia. Or massive nipples. Bodies are just bodies. They're just happy you gel and WANT to be intimate with them

Changeintheweathet · 03/08/2025 23:33

It's not the size. It's the size in proportion to the hips. If anything. This is a crazy conversation.

I would agree but I think lots of men don't care about proportion at all, they just seem to think that a straight body (little to no hips) but big to huge breasts is 'hot', 'wow', etc. Obviously I'm not saying all men, but I'd guess the large majority.

In my experience most men prefer a nice ass over boobs.

There is a thread on the sex board you may want to read - you and the OP sound very similar and you may find it helpful.

I hope so, I think most want both though? 😔

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...

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

You can have an ugly face with big boobs or smell boobs and be gorgeous….

Most men would chose the gorgeous face! Your fixation on big boobs appears to be warped.

FrazzledHippy · 03/08/2025 23:38

There are definitely men out there that aren't fixated on big breasts. DH has loved me (and my boobs) throughout many different sizes! You'll find a decent man OP that sees you as far more than a pair of tits

Lostworlds · 03/08/2025 23:38

islaw3048unfln · 03/08/2025 23:32

Did the men you slept with give any indication they weren't happy with your chest ever?

Absolutely none! I have never slept with man who has had any issue with it. I used to joke about my non existent boobs but most men would tell me they preferred that.

Recently whilst out with friends we all got talking about our post kids bodies and I brought up my lack of boobs, to which my friend’s husband said I was talking rubbish as I was hot. (Friend had no issue with this)

I think this is you feeling insecure about your body and projecting it onto others. I understand it, I used to hate my body but I’ve learned to love what I’ve got and it has never been an issue with men. They like the confidence you have in yourself!

Thatsnotmynamee · 03/08/2025 23:37

It is a crazy conversation 😂 Not all men like the same thing! Any boobs go I reckon, they're just grateful to see them mostly. Mine are small and I've had no complaints haha. Lots of sex had, now married. It's just never really crossed my mind to be self conscious about my boobs and I'm not a hugely self confident person

Any man who is really into you won’t give two hoots about the size of your boobs. He’ll love them because they’re yours.

Oh, of course women (any person) is not just a lump of flesh. That isn't what I meant. I'm not talking about my value as a human being. I'm just talking about being sexy/satisfying to a man.

I know men don't only find (mainly large) breasts attractive, but it does seem to be quite a big part of it for them. Just the impression I get...

Can I ask what age you’re dealing with here?
