A Butch Mirror

Just_G · 01-13-2010, 12:22 PM

Great thread M!
I have always hated having a chest...I had 36 DDD back in the day and had a reduction ten years ago. I was satisfied with that until I gained a little weight...it went right back onto my chest, so I call a mulligan and want to have my chest re-done.

I am pretty happy with the bod I have....though I am trying to lose some of my beer gut! I love my shoulders and arms...as I do a lot of lifting at work. I cut my own hair and keep it short and spikey...though I have been tempted to shave my head recently..lol While I only stand in the mirror with boxers on, I do not have issues with my bits....hooked up with the right chick, I like to get mine when given the chance!

When I look in the mirror, I see a masculine butch and I love it!

I have had my struggles in that department, but over all, I like me just the way I am.

I am captivated by butch curves, muscles, skin, hair, tits, assess, hips, calves, hands, smiles, eyes, smells... As a butch reveals her body to me, I am caught, breathless and greedy. I want to touch her with the utmost tenderness, then flay her with desire.

Excuse the interruption.

Metropolis,

Thank you so much for this thread! It's a wonderful encouragement seeing the varying degrees of butch comfort zones regarding their bodies - spanning from stones, disassociaters and those who are completely comfortable in - and - with their female bodies - but please don't allow me to limit anyone's thoughts or ideals on their perception or freedom to express.

As a feminine woman who has been with soft-butch and stone-butch it's great to see the free-speech here of what is comfortable to some and what is not - yet, not only this - it is such a relief to have my faith renewed in seeing that butches are far from a cookie-cutter mold of their own sexuality.

I love the diversity, the differences, the beauty in all that is called butch.

Thank you for sharing yourselves and for the ever-expanding definition of who-you-are, not allowing yourselves to be caught in a vacuum of sameness.

Sunny

Oh, dear Heart... I do think that this was a very welcomed interruption! No problem!

Mirror, mirror on the wall, let us have peace in it all. All Butches can walk tall.

nice topic. i think my lover *is* my butch mirror, because she uses words like, "my hot butch lover" and, "my handsome butch dyke" and she tells me she loves my breasts, my ass, my face, my hands. so i do too.

Totally hear that G. I gained 20+ in 08' after my mom passed and really noticed that increased my chest. It bothered me quite a bit but luckily came right off when I got back to normal routine. Too I've dropped another 10+ I'd been carrying for years so my chest is in the zone but I do have more hip than I probably would have asked for... ha... s' ok never bothered me much. Anyway thanx.

Day, I look forward to your thoughts...

Heart... nice... thanx

Hpychk yw... and thanx to you

Peace,
Metro

I don't have breasts to speak of so I don't require top surgery for my transition. Just maybe minor keyhole and I'm grateful for that. But I've put on a lot of weight and need to taper down quite a bit. When I do that I'll feel a lot better. A masculine body feels more like me and I'll do what it takes to get in sync with my inner person, so to speak.

key · 02-16-2010, 08:55 PM

I have such a girls body, curvy in the usual girly places.

......Trying to stay positive.........

I'll say this much. I do like being touched, so I'll go with.... I like how my body feels. Not too much (unwanted) pain, plenty of pleasure and by golly it gets the job done with plenty of energy to spare.

I guess I could force myself to look at my body in the mirror and repeat nice little lies about how I feel about what I see. Or I can just keep the lights low when getting my sexy on (that is, if I ever get that opportunity again...sigh...).

AtLast · 02-16-2010, 10:13 PM

I have always been comfortable with my body, except when I had a run with obesity. I found OA was what worked with my dealing with this. I do have to stay on top of my compulsive over eating. mainly, this is about health for me. I also have a congenital back problem and severe poly osteoarthritis and RA- so weight has a whole lot to do with pain with me. taking off a few more pounds would help me out.

I certainly had a lot of negative comments as a girl growing up with having broad shoulders, muscles, and slight hips/butt. I am a C cup. Not from my parents, however. They praised my athletic ability and strenghth and did not say I was a big girl like so many did. I feel very fortunate about this as I just did not have a girls body if one goes by the usual societal standards.

I like how my body is more of a weaving of female and male. I embrace both. I love my breasts and they are an important component of eroticism for me. I love my vagina for the same reason. Sure, I strap, but it is simply a matter of giving pleasure to a lover that desires it. It just does not have a thing to do with my butch identity with me. Sometimes I have felt strange about this in relationship to other butches (and even been riducluled), but I'm just not vested in butch cock. I pack upon request, LOL! We are all different about this. I'm female identified and honestly like being a butch woman and having both feminine & masculine body features.

I was always proud of my strong legs and thighs. My Mom used to tell me I had my Dad's legs. She loved his legs and met him when he was a professional bicycle rider. He trained me as a kid to race. Due to multiple back surgeries and permanent nerve damage, my leg & thigh muscles have atrophied some. And hell, I will be 59 next month. My way buff days are gone! But I am a physically active person, but certainly don't run the miles everday anymore. My joints won't allow that. I walk, dance, hike and swim. I still cycle some.

I'm large boned and 5'7". Seems like this is rather average, dunnno. I have the body I have and feel at home in it. I am grateful for this as I know a lot of butches struggle with body image.

I have lousy skin. I hate it. I have to deal with continued break outs and always have. My RA is multi symptom in nature and I have psoriatic RA along with the usual joint deterioration. So, I will not wear tank type shirts. I hate this as my upper arms and shoulders were once quite nice with good muscle definition, or at least I was told this. Who knows! But, I miss wearing them. Shorts are OK.

Great thread!

I know I struggled with my body image greatly when I first came out, but I feel like I've come into my own, particularly in the past 5-6 years.

I can't figure out how in hell every single person in my immediate family has no hips/ass, yet I do. *sigh* That aside, it doesn't matter to me.

I love my shoulders most of all. I love my strength. One of my exes, who is still my best friend, always says I'm "strong like bull!." I think I have nice hands, as well, and I have great skin. It's softer than a baby's butt. LOL

OK, OK....I'm vain. I own it. *grin*

But in all seriousness, it's a hard-won fight with self-image to see myself in a positive light. And I'll give much credit to the women I've been with over the years because of all the loving support I received from them. These women helped me see the positives, which made my acceptance of myself come along easier.
