Can you guys please tell me if a tubular boob is a big turn-off?

One of my boobs has a tubular shape. And no, it isn't just me. My doctor has seen it, and she too says it's abnormal. The problem is that this is a big inhibitor and is keeping me from showing guys my top half. I refuse to get physical in any sense other than kissing. Can you guys please tell me if a tubular boob is a big turn-off? I have thought about getting implants to even them out, but for now its out of the question. It's costly, and to be honest, the whole 'going under the knife' thing scares me. To all the guys out there, give me an honest opinion about what you think. And if you are unsure about what a tubular boob looks like, search it carefully. Thanks.

  • Listen, I have the same situation. I'm a C-cup and I have tubular breast and they face downward. I believe this occured due to hormonal imbalance during growing up. It all has to do with the horrible way we eat foods and what type of foods we eat. Not eating healthy causes al know diseases known today. But my advice to you is get the surgery. You know why? Because the world has the minds of men fixated on visuals like perfectly round pointy boobs which people can be born with but if so... even at the age 19 you will start to see sagging. Gravity is a B! Anyways my many failed relationships ended because I think I never showed my boobs. But back then I was 16 when I first had sex and I told my first sexual partner that I was shy. And he understood. He wanted to be with me so bad but I didn't feel right to deprive a boyfriend from something I know guys like, which is p*rn boobs. And I'm not saying all men are ignorant like this but it is highly rare for you to find a man who will be OK with it and want a long relationship with you and even get married. I don't have sex anymore because now that I'm 20 years old what will be my excuse not to show grown men my chest? I am working foward to getting them corrected. These boobs are not your fault. Blame it on the world and what garbage they encourage us to eat. Good luck to you darling. Be strong.

    • Hey , I think you are too harsh about it, I have the same "problem" but I have never met a guy that complained about it. All guys I've dated loved my breasts and I had one 2 and a half year relationship and now I'm with another guy ,3 years next month. So as long as you work out, make your ass look perfect nobody is going to see the boobs hanging :)) I cried a lot when I was younger but my ex (2 years relationship) told me he likes my boobs over the ball looking like ones that pornstars have. They are just boobs , we are the ones obsessing about them not guys, both told me they didn't see them otherway than sexy, and they were surprised I was frustrated about them.

  • I realize that this is probably something you are really sensitive about, but the truth is that none of us are totally even on both sides. One of my nipples is really large & sometimes sort of inverts itself partially and one of my labia is longer than the other (it actually sticks out like a little tongue). I used to be completely paranoid about these imbalances, so on some level I can understand how you feel. But really, my bf is still crazy about me and I think both of us knowing these things about me have made us a lot closer. Seriously, a guy who loves you for you isn't going to stop because you have a tubular boob. He might be surprised or curious the first time he sees it or when you first tell him (if its not obvious when you are fully dressed) - I didn't even know such a thing existed before today, but if he really cares about you it won't change what he feels for you. I know its hard, and you maybe have more reason to be shy about relationships, but anyone who would reject you based on your tubular boob is not worth grief. Good luck ;)

  • If you want to have sex and feel comfortable while doing it wear a very sexy bra or a sexy nighty, and leave it on during sex. Sometimes a little scrap of clothing can give you just the confidence you need. Only you can decide if it's worth going under the knife for. Sometimes girls fill out differently and it might even out somewhat in time, but if it really bothers you, you will have to deal with it eventually.

  • I'd say a couple of things to this.

    1) it seems like this physical abnormality is inadvertently keeping you from getting yourself hurt. Wait to get physical with a guy until you know he cares for you because of who you are, not what shape your boobs are in. If he likes you for the right reasons, it won't be an obstacle at all (just like all of the things that might be a turnoff).

    2) I wouldn't get implants - I don't have any real experience here, but I would say that it's better to save your cash, be natural, and not risk having an elective surgery. Be happy with who you are and who God made you, and don't sweat the superficial stuff. Your body will be constantly changing - it'll never stay the same. Acknowledge that, and realize that physical beauty is way overemphasized in our society.

    3) don't buy into the crap that Hollywood tells you - nobody is perfect. Everyone has something that makes them unique - be it a personality quirk, a physical abnormality, or some kind of genetic 'defect'. Like I said, be happy with who you are and wait for the guy who will truly love you no matter what. Because if you start changing your appearance now, it'll only be a slippery slope later on when you see other things that you aren't totally happy with.

    • You seem like a very nice guy. I recall asking a similar question and one guy answered with "Breast is part of my initial attractive... I'm looking at the overall shape of your breasts from the get go to determine whether or not I'm attracted to you and if the shape is weird I wouldn't be attracted at all." I thought of what a superficial excuse of a human being he is like what does he ask a girl to remove her bra and examine her breasts before he takes her out for coffee?

  • My grain of salt:

    I've dated a completely flat chested girl for months (before you get any wrong ideas: we were both 19!) She was like a boy in the breast area.

    I've seen tubular breasts on topless beaches. I've seen pictures.

    I've seen 16yr olds with sagging breasts on topless beaches.

    I've seen 60yr olds with perky breasts.

    I've seen and touched all kinds of breasts, (not the tubular ones)

    I liked them all, except when I didn't like the woman.

    Personally, I'd find tubular breasts a turn on, but I find all breasts a turn on, except the really over sized ones maybe (but then, I remember a certain F or K-cup French girl LOL)

    If I liked you, I would like your breasts as much as I'd like you.

    Asymmetric breasts? No big deal: in a way or another, all women have asymmetric breasts, except surgically operated porn stars.

    Look here for breasts you haven't seen (a feminist site, no porn!) link

    A extended visit to this site should be mandatory for ALL people, whatever their age, just as an antidote against the porn industry and the "Hollywood perfection"

    Surgery? :-S :-(

    I prefer women "au naturel"

  • Hey, whether they're tubular, lopsided, one's there, one isn't be lucky that you have boobs. Many girls don't. But yes I can see how this will affect your confidence and in the future if you feel that bad about it, get surgery. And the the knife won't scare you that much if you want change that bad. It's not like I would be looking at a girlfriend's boobs anyway so I don't care. Just tell the guy, you're not comfortable taking your top off, he doesn't have to know. Boobs shouldn't hold you back, having no legs and no arms could hold you back but boobs? It's not even that serious. I'll tell you what, work on other areas for now. Do you have the perfect legs? The perfect stomach? Work on getting those (in the gym) and your confidence should flourish.

  • As a female in a long term relationship I can tell you I rarely take my top off during the deed.

    A nice, frilly bra could mask the abnormality and still turn your man on.

    I also agree with the guy who said that your insecurity is keeping you from getting hurt. You should be with someone who cares about you and loves you and would never make you feel bad about yourself due to your imperfect chest.

  • I'd suggest you just be confident about who you are. I seriously dated a girl with double A breasts. She was unbelievably self-conscious about them. I loved her so much and it was sort of a turn off when she was very self conscious. The bottom line is that if you are with a guy that likes you for who you are, he won't mind if you have a breast that looks irregular. I know I didn't. I was just so happy to be spending time intimately with my girlfriend that it didn't really matter to me.

    Now if you're going out on the weekends all the time and hooking up with random guys and the like, then this might be different. But if you really like a guy, and he really likes you, it shouldn't be a big deal. No one is perfect. I'm sure you'll end up being with guys that have small testicles, a bent penis or a hairy back. We are what we are. And as soon as everyone accepts that, we can all have healthy relationships. :)

  • Have no idea what you mean by tubular?. Even tried googling an image of another girl with a similar thing going on and no images.? Lost. Sorry wish knew what you meant. I can tell you though there are guys out there that are just into your vagina/butt so to some they don't even really matter at all. All depends on the guy I can tell you that much. Although keeping in mind E size boobs are nasty. And Even DD's are too much Or D's C's and A nice full b-cup girl is where its at. Not too much not too little just right. But even then to a guy such as myself, it's a plus. Not a need. I'm a vagina/butt guy. Long as both of those are in check I could care less.

    • Tubular? You'll find them at the link I posted.

  • Yes tubular breasts are a turn-off, but nothing is more of a turn-on than breasts jiggling and swinging because you're pounding with reckless abandon. So in sum, shallow guys won't like you, real guys will work with it for a while until it's not a problem anymore.

  • To be completely honest, it is tough, without having an idea of how abnormal it is. Abnormal isn't always bad. But if a guy really cares for you, he will accept you all the way you look.

  • I just googled it and honestly. I don't think it looks too bad. Just seems normal to me.

    i am sure guys will love it. A lot of guys just love boobs whatever they look like ;)

  • Stop being so worried. You seem so self conscious. Just don't make other guys feel uncomfortable. If you go around talkin all about big penis' and stuff then clearly he will be uncomfortable. Honestly I don't care, what you have, I will accept you for who you are as long as you accept me for who I am and not based on a private part.

  • I LOVE THEM and wish I had a girlfriend with them like that so I could indulge in that all the time! send me a linedpp4294yah oo

  • My wife worries about it too - I guess as for all the girls with this - and it has certainly held her back having as much topless fun as she could. I think it's more of a shame that even her clothing choices are effected.

    Im sure it would matter to some guys, but in a loving and trusted relationship she forgets all about it and so will you.

    As for surgery... Don't rush. What's important to you? My wife's got 10 years on you and still hasn't decided - I found you because she's thing about it... Again!

    Anyway, not a turn off. I've even got my favorite - for now! I'll love the other more next week;-)

    All the best

  • Nothing is wrong with it.

    We may worry (one side of my chest is higher than the other side), but there's nothing we can do about it, since that is how we are born, we should live it the way we are and not do anything to change the fact that we are like this.

    If you have someone who loves you, they will love you for who you are, not for your appearance.

    Sounds cheesy, and everyone is saying that, but it is true; you just have to find the right person.

  • Please take heart! It is a real turn on for me and I am sure that there are plenty of other guys out there who feel the same.

  • I see this is over a year old, but I HAVE to share: there’s actually a fetish for tuberous breasts! I have the same condition, same cup size, same deep hatred for my imperfections until someone shared a Reddit sub-group with me: Tuberous.

    There’s men who WORSHIP tuberous breasts! The more severe, the sexier in their eyes! I even posted a pic in there a few years back (I’m not usually like this, but it’s a dream to finally find men who WANT tuberous breasts). My goodness, so many men were begging for more pictures; so many men were in my DMs to set up a date. How flattering!

    Also, doing research on the condition taught me tuberous breasts are actually much more sensitive than regular breasts, with almost as many nerve endings as a penis! Thus, we’re more likely to experience breast orgasms—“finishing” from breast stimulation alone. We’re so busy hiding our chests, and men are so busy avoiding our chests, we’re all depriving ourselves a great time! I always did notice when men would pinch/bite/suck my nipples (with the lights off), I would get soooo absolutely turned on. Then, he’d quickly move to the kitty-cat with his tongue, and I lose the mood so quickly. Most women love being eaten out, but I can’t stand it! Suck on my tubies please!

    Anyways, the TLDR (too long don’t read): embrace your highly sensitive tuberous breasts, and maybe seek out the subreddit I’m referring to. It’s a huge boost, and I no longer hate my tubies! -xoxo

  • I think tubular breasts look just fine.

  • Hey I know how you feel. I'm 17 and I have tubular boobs. I considered surgery and I still do but I have done things with a guy and he has seen them and he loved me for so it didn't matter, He actually made a joke it was the best of both worlds cause one of my boobs happens to be an A cup and one happens to be a B/C. He is the only guy to have ever seen them but I know ill show more when I get comfortable with them. Also its not all about boobs you have plenty of other great things on your body to get physical with. So don't sweat it. Also if you wanted the surgery you can go to therapy and prove its getting into your head that your not good enough and its physiological and see if insurance will cover part of it.

    • Thanks so much!
