Should breast implants for males be made illegal?

Having learned more about the sexual desires of males, AGP in particular. I now think that as women we have to push back and stop this madness. We live in a world where females are vulnerable to sexual assault by males-we are literally hunted by them. Combined with the safeguarding of children aspect....all parents I know explain to young children that if you get lost, look for a lady to help you, preferably another Mummy....I know men can wear a padded bra to achieve the look, but still the thought of males getting sexual pleasure by having fake boobs & their male tackle-just seems wrong. Am I alone in thinking this? Looking at society as a whole, I can't see any benefit to women and children of men being allowed to get silicone breast implants.....

Why not mind your business and leave other adults alone to make their own decisions? It doesn’t actually affect you at all. Why don’t you volunteer at a women’s shelter or baby bank if you want to make a positive impact, instead of punching down at minorities based on entirely fictional scenarios

It only affects everyone else if everyone else has to pay for it.

Anyone may and should be allowed to pay for whatever they want to do to their own bodies that they think will make them look good: trout pouts, bum lifts, fake boobs, botox, whatever. You want to look special in your own eyes, you pay for it, just as you pay for your own clothing or haircuts. Well, apart from things which unexpectedly cause harms the NHS then has to deal with, I suppose: silicone tit-augmentation, or cosmetic face-surgery, can go horribly and dramatically wrong and need urgent treatment by the NHS, but that's the exception rather than the rule (or at least I do hope it is).

If one self-elected change to a person's body is made illegal, there will be arguments for others to be as well: tattoos, perhaps. Bad precedent.

It would be interesting to see how outlawing a supposed medical procedure based purely on a patients sex would fly in the courts as incompatible with the ECHR ...

Obviously if all cosmetic surgery were banned for everyone then that risk would not arise.

Thinking ahead ....

Only if you make them illegal for women also. If someone wants to pay to have silicone implanted in their body, what harm does that do? Their money, their body.

Certain body modifications are illegal in the UK because they are considered to cause grievous bodily harm. Tongue-splitting, for example. You cannot consent to being severely harmed. But if the castration of healthy testicles, and the flaying and inversion of a healthy penis, and the creation in a healthy man of a stoma in which to insert the inverted penis, and which will have to be manually dilated for the rest of his life to prevent it closing through normal healing are not consisted grevious bodily harm, then I don’t think moob jobs are going to, either.

It’s not offered on the NHS anyway 😂

Ah ok. Alls good then!

Worriedandsuspicious · 31/05/2026 11:22

No. If men want them then fine. I don't think the NHS should fund them though

No. But not on the NHS.

Most trans identified males don't gain breasts via implants, but via taking cross sex hormones.

If men want to pay for this procedure themselves, and they can find someone to do it then it is up to them; but certainly not on the NHS.
