Are small boobs to men what a small penis is to a woman?

NC for this one.

My breasts have never been big but they shrunk when I got divorced. Been with my dp for 3 years, sex life very regular but he never touches my breasts and it feels really weird …like they are too small to be noticed. Which is a shame as it’s a very erogenous place for me :(

I do feel a bit down about this as his ex W has massive ones ( with a breast reduction). I kind of feel he wouldn’t have ignored hers though there is no love lost between them so I’m
not jealous of the present but the past I suppose.

I know I need to sit down with him but I just feel crap right now. I wanted to speak to other women who are small and see if they are getting attention. Never a problem for me in the past ..

Hope it goes well. I'd try and keep it light:

'I would love for you to touch me more' rather than asking why he doesn't

@Granberry thank you and you are absolutely right in your approach.

I have A cup breasts and go swinging and can say they have lots of positive attention, infact I've always been self conscious about them but since I started going to clubs and parties they have given me a confidence boost.

Nothing sexist about stating the truth or do you prefer not to talk about vaginas?!

Exactly! Nothing sexist in that statment!

Wow, what a sexist statement. Imagine if that one was reversed!

This is generally meant as a good thing about men.

I think men are shits in lots of ways but one good thing about most of them is that they are appreciative of womens bodies generally. Of course there are some of them make women feel shit but I think in general they love womens bodies.

No, large boobs are the equivalent of tallness in a man. An initial signifier of attractiveness but not an issue when you get to know and love someone.

My husband says a handful is just right!

OriginalUsername2 · 22/09/2024 03:49

You just have to own it.

(I say “just”, my next door neighbour’s comments about how flat chested I was at age 13 scarred me for years)

Look at beautiful, confident women like Ariana Grande, young Gwen Stefani, Kate Moss.. they got on alright.

Ah yes when I was 13 the joke was I didn’t need a bra just two corn plasters and a bit of string.

I'm a DD and my dh loves that Im sure some men have preferences on sizes

BrigadierEtienneGerard · 01/01/2025 16:53

Man here.
No.
HTH.

Yes and no, depending on the man, the same as it depends on the woman.

A man who is turned on and sexually stimulated by big fake boobs is unlikely to be sexually attracted to someone who is very flat chested. And vice versa.

However, it is generally assumed men prefer bigger boobs like woman prefer bigger penis’s and I don’t think either is true.

A man is more likely to get dumped because of a small penis than a woman is because of small boobs, but in both respects, it’s what they are attached to that matters most.

I think this probably sums it up. I have quite big boobs and I hide them away because I learnt in my 20s that the vast majority of men will constantly stare and talk to my chest which I find very annoying. Maybe it would be better nowadays after all the me too stuff. I think a large number of men like the idea of fairly big boobs. But in a relationship there is alot more to attraction.

Man here. Sigmund Freud the pyschoanalyst apparently had a theory about men and breast size. His idea was that a man when looking for a sexual partner would look for a woman with the opposite in bra size shall we say to his mother. So a man with a Mum who was busty would choose a partner who had a more boyish figure and vice versa. It is certainly true for me and my DW. My Dad's Mum was a busty lady, my mum was not, my wife is busty although I'd swear I was initially attracted to her chattiness and intelligence than boob size. Ladies have a look at yourselves and then his mother and see if I'm right. Hope I don't spark too many arguments!

Omg this is actually so true! However my partners first wife had massive ones so not sure what this does to this theory. But I suppose attractiveness goes alot deeper that the physical side. However I just can’t shake this feeling ..

Well, you just made me picture my Mum's breasts, so not sure I can ever forgive you for that.

Especially as your theory seems wrong in my case.

Minor1000 · 04/01/2025 11:08

I can see me getting flamed for this. Just a bit of fun on a Saturday morning. It is only Freud's theory and theories can be wrong as well as generally right. I certainly didn't pick my DW of 25 years based on bra size. She came and sat next to me in a hotel bar as she thought I looked interesting. I love the bones of the woman even though she's off work with a broken knee and arm following a motorcycle accident. A younger man is more likely to chose a woman based on whether he thinks he can take her home to meet his mother or whether he feels he can stand the idea of waking up to the same woman for the next 30 years or so than beta size although having access to a pair of boobs of the size hi naturally prefers is a bonus. It the package we all need to get right I suppose not single elements.

I would like nothing to say size doesn't matter, but everyone is different I like all breast sizes, maybe that's just me or subconsciously it's my thoughts reminding me what it is like to insecure I've tried different approaches to get over that feeling I'd like to know how does someone feel comfortable with a Penis size being 23mm wide less than a 1 inch thick yes and 52mm 5.2 cm hard less about 2 inches hard I'm so close in getting surgery.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated

mathanxiety · 07/06/2025 20:48

The problem is that he isn't doing what you want him to do with what you have. Have you told him what you like?

Danny I wouldn't consider surgery you might add an inch to your flaccid length when they cut your suspensory ligament but it doesn't extend to erect length. Furthermore your penis will permanently hang in a semi state even during full election. Your better off sticking with what nature has given you. Your average and average is there for a reason. Average makes up the majority of the male population. Work on your other skills. There will always be women that prefer a larger man like men that are attracted to larger breasts. That said there's a whole lot more to having a relationship other than the superficiality of penis and breast size!
