I know this is a weird question. But I’m just wondering. Please don’t kill me.

I do body weight exercises. And finding it harder to do exercises that want me to lay down on my front side. Because, my ____ is squishing.😮‍💨

Also, there is a stupid stigma that exercise makes women more masculine. But are there any workouts that make a man look feminine? Like, it would be bit weird to see a BLL sized butt on a man, right?


This question came to my mind when I saw a workout plan in my app. The plans’ name is “Bikini Body”. I was like, “I should probably stay away from this. But what happens if I did it anyway?”

    Nah, there’s no such thing as an exercise that does what you’re asking.

    Ignoring the bullshit involved in gender norms, and ignoring the variances in different cultures, a cis man that went through male puberty isn’t ever going to have the kind of body that would be considered feminine, on average, by exercise. Too much of what is considered feminine depends on boobs and hips. Boobs can’t be exercised into existence, and you aren’t going to change your skeleton enough to have the kind of hips that truly feminize a silhouette.

    A cis man can definitely achieve androgynous looks, and can also shape their body to emphasize curves and such, but not by exercise.

    Also, if your dick/balls are squishing, try different undies. You need better support, imo. My best friend is what you might call compact in frame, and is hung like a damn bull moose, but can do any exercise he wants because he has good support via well fitting undies. There’s no single recommendation as per brand or style, but he’s a briefs guy. I’ve worn boxer briefs for decades, and never had any issues when they were in good condition (though once they get a year or so of use, they loosen too much for comfort because the old frank n beans slide down the leg)

        If you literally want to bulk your waist, obliques do build mass (to my despair) so that can give you a thicker look though there, but I thought that V shape with a small middle was idealized by bodybuilders?

      Not necessarily true. I’m a cis male and I’ve always had a slender waist. If I really dedicated my workout to legs and glutes and just abominable with none of the side stomach muscles (I’m pretty new to working out and don’t know the words) and I completely disregarded my upper body, my body would start to look more feminine. My body stores fat on my hips too, so no cardio? Yeah, I’d have one sexy lady bod.
