So, today is casual day at work. We all wore jeans and were pretty happy to do it.

But there is this one lady who has a problem. She is a rather attractive lady. She wore her jeans today, which is to be expected. But she has a rather obvious camel toe. I mean…damn obvious. So obvious in fact that a co-worker in the smoking pit said it was more of a moose knuckle than a camel toe. Now while her tight jeans seem to work wonders for her very sweet ass, it does not help that all I keep imagining are some huge fuckin meat curtains seperated by a well worn and discolored seam of demin. This all me. It is my narrow mind that seems unable to focus on anything else. I accept that. I am a dog. I can’t help it.

So, are women aware of the camel toe? Do they not realize that men notice and comment on such things? Do they not care? Is it done intentionally? Is it able to be prevented?  
I have a feeling I am gonna get flamed for this thread, but I have wondered about these questions for quite some time.

In years of observation of women trying on jeans, I have not once seen one check for camel toe. They check how their butt looks, sure. But never check the front for moose knuckle (Love that term!) 😃  
No, I’m not a perv. I used to work in a clothing store.

Perhaps she’s part of the “labia as jewellery” trend, as evidenced by the bikini manufacturer Wicked Weasel. (If you’re googling, it’s N very SFW.)

Never had a camel toe problem in jeans, that just doesn’t make sense logistically. I concern myself with it in workout clothes, but I don’t usually have a problem.

If you’re a guy, why are you pitting this? I thought men enjoyed camel toes?

Once in a playful mood, I discussed camel toes with my Saudi coworkers. It never got beyond the ability of the beast to walk across soft, very hot sand.

I was chuckling the entire time.

For whatever it’s worth, I never buy jeans that expose my uh camel toe. But this also mean I very rarely buy jeans, and when I do, I often end up with a male pair (just more room in the front yanno…)…

Along the same lines, but possible a highjack (and if so I apologise) - howcome some men think it’s sexy to have jeans so tight you can verify they do indeed have two testicles?

I think **Greathouse** should get some pictures with his cellphone (and post them) so we can make informed decisions about the matter. 😛

“Meat curtains”? _Shudder_. I must offer a sacrifice of red satin pumps to Dorothy, the Goddess of Fabulousness, that I was born a confirmed bachelor.

Normally, yes, I can appreciate a nice camel toe…But this thing is massive. HUGE I tell’s ya. Really sort of a turn off. Don’t get me wrong. It wouldn’t be a deal breaker. I’d never throw her out of bed unless she absolutely insisted on fucking on the floor.

I’m a woman. I wouldn’t want to leave the house sporting a camel toe. This lady is crazy. (IMHO)

Well, there is a certain species of guy … and I’m sure the OP isn’t one of them … who try to develop cred with women by claiming that although they are attracted to women generally, they have Standards … there are Certain Things that are Beyond the Pale for them … they’re not like those Other Guys, those DOGS who will go after ANYTHING …

Of course, they’re just another species of lying dog … repeat, NOT indicting anybody here for that …

Most women I know still don’t notice when their headlights are on. (Now _that_ is hot.)

Meat Curtain? MEAT CURTAIN? MEAT CURTAIN? That is possibly one of the worst things I’ve heard. Talk about a horrible mental image!

Oh, believe me, I know when my headlights are on. That would be most of the time. Not much I can do about it but where thicker sweaters - fine in winter, not so great in summer - or put bandaids on the girls (not going to happen).

So, you know, enjoy the view.

“They call me egotistical, I don’t know what that means;  
I guess it has something to do with the way I feel in my skin-tight jeans…”
