wear a bra to work week

extend his brassière discipline to his employment

Of all the places that a man can wear a bra, the workplace is one of the most beneficial as far as brassière discipline is concerned, yet unfortunately, one of the most challenging from a psychological perspective. A bra offers a constant reminder of why it is being worn, making sure that a man does not forget his wife no matter what demands or distractions his work might present in her absence. At the same time, both man and wife may be concerned about the possible consequences of him failing to keep such an unmanly garment concealed in the presence of people whom he may have to see every day. Provided a few simple precautions are taken, a bra is just as easy to hide at work as in more anonymous situations, but the greater sense of risk can prove deterring.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is marked in many countries by charities seeking to increase awareness about this disease, raise funding for research into prevention and treatment, and help support those affected. During this month, people are encouraged to wear pink ribbons, if not other pink clothing, and may undertake fundraising events such as sponsored walks or bake sales. Sadly, like too many other areas of charitable endeavour, not all of the money donated will go where it is needed, with some organisations cynically exploiting people's generosity for commercial ends. Nevertheless, Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves a valuable purpose in drawing attention to one of the most common cancers in women, which affects millions worldwide. Breast cancer can also occur in men, albeit not with the same rate of incidence.

Separately, October is also a relatively easy time of the year for a man to wear a bra without it being seen, regardless of where he may be. In the Northern Hemisphere, the heat of summer has passed, whereas in the Southern Hemisphere, it has yet to arrive, with the cooler weather allowing for the wearing of additional layers without having to compromise between concealment and comfort - at least, in so far as wearing a bra can ever be comfortable for a man! Combined with the right choice of bra, an extra T-shirt may be all it takes to stop anything untoward being apparent through a man's regular workwear. That means that submissive husbands who, as a practical concession, are not required by their wives to wear a bra as a woman does all year round, may start what will be a brassièred winter at the start of October, or alternatively, come to the end of a six-month stint in bras that began in April.

For men new to the embrace of band, cups and straps in the workplace, the fact that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month also presents an ideal time to start, because of how the possibility of taking part in a sponsored challenge offers a plausible explanation for the presence of a bra beneath a shirt in the unlikely event that it is spotted. Rather than having to make a shameful admission about submitting to his wife, a brassièred husband can simply say that he is raising money for a good cause - an endeavour sufficiently laudable that he might even invite anyone who asks about it to contribute. That's not to say that he should draw attention to what he is wearing, of course. Ideally, and most likely, his bra will go completely unnoticed by his colleagues, demonstrating that it is indeed possible for him to wear such an imposing garment to work without anyone other than him and his wife knowing about it. The confidence gained from having done so once makes it easier for him to do so again, whether for further days in October, or at other times of the year.

Although the primary purpose of wear a bra to work week is to develop your husband's brassière discipline, this approach is not without benefit to breast cancer charities. To avoid any accusation of exploiting a good cause, it is only right that a man undertaking such a challenge should express his appreciation by making a monetary contribution, even if he is the only person to sponsor him for his submission. Indeed, to add verisimilitude to any claims he might make about only wearing a bra for charity, your husband might have a sponsorship form to hand in case his intimate attire is questioned, perhaps partially filled in with the names of your friends. The women in question need not necessarily know that, although it can be fun to invite their endorsement should you be open about this aspect of your relationship. Instead, the sums indicated can be donated by your husband on their behalf, which he may regard as a small price to pay for not sharing the details of his submission. Nor is there any reason to inform the charity precisely what your husband has done to raise money for them, because they will welcome his contribution regardless, thanks to how it funds important research, education and support.

To summarise, wear a bra to work week involves having your husband wearing a bra to work on the pretext of raising money for breast cancer, but really to help ease him into doing so for other reasons. He benefits from not having to worry as much as he might if he didn't have such a convenient explanation to fall back on, you benefit from being able to extend his brassière discipline with less difficulty, and a good cause benefits as a bonus. In all probability, your husband's colleagues remain none the wiser, and the resulting experience can be built upon until he's wearing a bra to work every day, if that's what you want.
