You know the country has a problem with obesity when someone decides to publish a book about men with large breasts.
Merle Yost, a psychotherapist, has written "
Demystifying Gynecomastia: Men With Breasts". In it, he reports that up to one-third of males may have to deal with this problem at some time, because of the increased use of anti-depressants and the obesity epidemic.
Yost himself claims to be have been affected since age 11...
"I was a skinny little boy who grew noticeable A-cup breasts. They called me 'tits' in junior high. Girls offered bras; boys twisted and taunted."
But what really got him motivated to write this book is all the public interest he got on his website. He posted a page about gynecomastia on his therapy practice website, and is apparently getting a lot of traffic to it.

The problem is not necessarily obesity or drugs. Puberty screwed me over big time.

Big deal. Tits on men is sexy.
Post a CommentGynecomastia significantly affected my self-esteem even though I was relatively popular and athletic. I didn't even have many incidents where I was made fun of. I just beat myself up mentally because I felt freakish. I eventually had surgery and now, as I've gotten older, I'm looking at it again. I'm still athletic but I have a hard time keeping my weight down to what it was in college.
I'm glad someone took the time to write a book. Maybe it will help someone realize they are not alone and there are solutions.
