UK Sees Spike in Man Boob Operations to Reduce Breast Tissue
The UK has seen a huge increase in operations requested by men who want to get rid of their “man boobs” or as they have been affectionately dubbed “moobs” and so many other euphamisms.
This is a sore spot for a lot of men, who tend to accumulate extra stored fat in this unfortunate area. Oh, if only women could gain weight exclusively in this area, and men could gain it somewhere else where extra flesh is desirable on their bodies when they gained weight, wouldn’t the world be a wonderful, happy place then?
But seriously, men have found the idea of male breast growth pretty scary over the years, except of course, men who are transgendered who desire to grow breasts, but they are agreeably in the minority.
Most men find growing breast tissue incredibly embarrassing because it doesn’t fit the male ideal of physical beauty, and it’s something that is made fun of quite often in popular media. Ever seen a male celebrity snapped on the beach who happens to be middle aged and may have let himself go a bit, or happens to have a predisposition toward male breasts? They get skewered.
Men who have grown tissue in this area are often embarrassed to wear swim trunks or go anywhere that they have to go topless, like the beach or somewhere else in the summer time that requires any degree of shirtlessness.
Some men are so self conscious about this that they refuse to disrobe in front of their lovers in the light, or they let it affect their intimacy with their partner. This is why this “man boob” operation has grown in popularity so much, it’s a major perception that they are undesirable, and that has caused a boom as of late for some unknown reason (after all, “enhanced male breasts” aren’t something that’s new, they’ve been around a looooong time!)
