Bras: Built for a Woman, Strong Enough for a Man?
In Japan, some men are taking cues from a small, but growing number of peers who have found a new way to maintain a sense of stability in these uncertain economic times. How are they doing it? Well…by wearing a bra.
A growing number of Japanese men are opting to secretly wear bras underneath their suits in the latest fad to sweep the nation. No, they are not transvestites (so they claim). They’re regular guys who somehow find wearing a bra makes them feel secure, relaxed and helps improve their concentration. But, from a less shocking point of view, some overweight men wear the garment to combat “man boobs” and build confidence. A Japanese company called WishRoom is making bras for men and reports lots of men are buying them. The underwear company, reports selling more than 6,000 ‘man bras’ to date. While rumors are that sales are way up,I still doubt that the items will go mainstream anytime soon.
I personally can’t decide what part of this story is the most confounding. For starters, what kind of magic bras are these guys wearing? Ladies, would you ever describe any of your underwire devices as a “means of relaxation”? I mean really, they’re horribly constricting and make us feel, if anything, violent not gentle. Second, how are you supposed to react if you actually came across one, say during a hot hook up. Third, why are they made of plastic? Fourth, don’t they show under your shirt?
