    I wear baggy clothes to avoid other people seeing accidental boners.

    A woman's body is a piece of art. A man's body is mechanical tool. Which would you rather look at. I find wearing tight clothing uncomfortable and like the feel of baggy shorts.

    I disagree wholeheartedly.

    A man's body is just as much a work of art as a woman's.

    It's just another way of saying a woman's body is for the consumption of others and a mans body is for the use of its owner. Really, bodies are most beautiful when they are most functional.

    I like to look at male bodies and their penis. I also like female bodies.

    no compression shorts here, just boxer briefs to keep the boys in place and shorts. Tight close on my that is a negative, a compression shirt is possible.

    however i might want to bring this look back

    Don't knock that look. I have a special place in my heart for that look.

    I just need to be able to find these shorts and socks. I can get the chucks.

    It's me. Someone said that women don't like to see a man's "junk" (I never understood calling it junk). So, just being honest. I think bodies (all parts and all genders) are lovely. I am a dancer. Bodies are instruments of art.

    because...... and without being crude.... you would be able to see the outline of myballs and p*n*s ...<-- that says penis by the way!

    lolololo.... that is why :flowerforyou:

    Do you hide it because it might offend me or because you don't want me to see it?

    haha.. I don'y mind anybody seeing it/them/those........ I like it...but only if they want to... but there are some ladies who don't want to see man junk... I guess you gotta cater for them??........... maybe I'm just too nice!???

    Not necessarily. Some women wear compression tops so that they don't make the guys around them uncomfortable. However, this is something that women think about and discuss...and men kind of take for granted.

    And the why to that is really interesting.

    and THIS is exactly WHY I asked.

    "I guess you gotta cater for them?"
    If it means sacrificing a degree of comfort, to make others more comfortable... hmmm...
    I think people in general are incredibly squeamish over the smallest of things. Breastfeeding is sexual somehow, showing cleavage equals being a slut or something else negative, a short skirt seems to mean she's asking for trouble, antibacterial soap is necessary or we will die, men's junk is gross, and yet sex is everywhere, in your face all day long. It's dirty yet people keep downloading it. There is so mich more to this than just showing a bit of outline. And all I can think of is they can't have been this sensitive about stuff in ye olden days, we were bodies and that's it. Not today though.


    I think that's a bit of a stretch.

    Compression clothing makes you look smaller. Women generally want to look smaller especially at the gym.

    Breastfeeding is not sexual (blech). But breasts sure as heck are, and I rue they day they aren't.
    Breasts with a milk waterfall coming out of them really aren't sexual.

    My husband got over it

    I meant that I think it is totally ridiculous to call breastfeeding in public a sexual act. People are cuckoo.

    I use junk. For both sexes genitalia. It's not meant in a negative way, it just amuses me.

    I don't mind if people call it that. It's not natural to me personally or my husband. I guess it was never familiar to me. I don't know. :-D

    Think? Why is thinking involved, if that thing is substantial and it's dangling all out, it's gonna get looked at, thinking or no.

    I wear the clothes I was wearing earlier in the day. Almost invariably shorts and a t-shirt.

    I just didn't want you to think I was using it in a derogatory way :)

    I only use it on the 'net. I never know what words are allowed on message boards, so I stick with junk.

    We do use the proper terms at home (don't want my kids yelling about their "junk" in the grocery).

    Why? Cultural fashion. It can really fly in the face of functionality. This isn't anything new.

    Well, I ripped a pair of compression pants and some ordinary shorts in one squat session once (which was ****ing hilarious, but expensive), so now I wear sweatpants most days and shorts-made-of-sweatpant-stuff for deadlift day, cos they don't explode when my *kitten* stretches them.

    I wear tight lycra cycling shorts when I'm using the Spinning bike in the gym - the saddle is an uncomfortable unisex saddle and I don't want to end up unisex.....
    Otherwise for lifting or other cardio I just wear running type shorts with a built-in "boulder holder".

    Having just come back from a beach holiday where about a third of the people were naked I can't say I'm the slightest bit bothered at seeing outlines of others people's "lumps and bumps" or them seeing mine.
