<p>So do steroids.</p><p>You think I'm gonna stop washing with tootie frootie soap on a rope because of titties? If anything I'm buying a case of the shit so I never have to rely on another female.</p>

What kind of parent would wash their little boy with fruity soap anyway? My kids got normal soap. If needed... Brillo pads.

I wonder if frilly lace panties have the same effect.

This might have more to do with the genetics of the boys than the soaps themselves.&nbsp; These oils have been around for a long time.&nbsp; I don't think its just a conicidence it happened to three people in the same family at the same time.
