Why don't I have an adam's apple? I really don't possess an adam's apple. Considering that I am very thin, tall ectomorphic type (and may I add, this is pivotal, a male) it's quite odd.
Are you also male and don't have either a protruding adam's apple or seem to completely lack it? I haven't met many guys who are like me. Does this make me less of a man? Am I a woman? | |

Actually my voice never broke as much as it did with other teenage boys. It's still rather high by most male standards I'd guess, but I learnt to control it - lowered it down to sound more masculine (you don't want to get your ass kicked at high school because you whine like a gyurl). As a singer I can reach far lower notes than most guys.
I don't really get facial hair even at the age of 25... heh, I'm a hormonal freak then. Figures. | |

But why is it called an Adam's apple? If you think it's called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, you're right. An Adam's apple sometimes looks like a small, rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat. | |

I just found this from the web:
Those with an extra X chromosome and multiples of these include Klinefelter's Syndrome that is named after another American Henry Fitch Klinefelter, born in 1912 a Baltimore physician. He found that boys born with this condition (the ambiguous condition) have a fairly normal childhood. Later into puberty they grow tall with large hands and feet, with features of the female body in having no body hair or Adam's Apple, having female breasts, soft skin, light beard growth, small testes and penis. Those with this syndrome are infertile through the failure of sperm production. Tall? Check. Large hands and feet? Check. Body hair? Some. Adamn's apple? No. Female breasts? No - And that's the only thing I wish I did. Soft skin? Check. Terribly. Light beard growth? Check. Small penis? I won't admit to this. Not stricktly fitting with the definition of the XXY male. Maybe I am an X½XY male then. [Edited 12/17/04 8:58am] | |
