i watched Saturday Night Fever a few days ago. in the movie, one of John Travolta’s friends said “My (expletive deleted) is so big, I have to strap it to my leg.”
this got me thinking. i vaguely remember, back from the 70’s, maybe it was from Hustler magazine or maybe it was from other sources, but i heard that some people were strapping it to their legs.
the questions are, does anyone else remember this?, did or does anyone actually do this?, why would it be necessary to strap it ( i mean, where is it going to go? down the other leg?), will any old strap do? did or do some companies manufacture straps specifically for this purpose?
“And the last category in the Double Jeopardy round is Google Searches. It’s your selection, Wikkit,” said Alex Trebec
“I’ll take Google Searches for $400, Alex,” I said.
“What are three words you don’t ever want to type into google?”, Alex queried.
After I buzzed in, I answered, “What is leg penis strap?”
Ok, there’s a strap that you attach between Mr Winky and Mr Walky, but it’s for, ah, stretching exercises.
A lovely page titled HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CONDOM CATHETER reccomends strapping it to your leg. It also contains this useful bit of knowledge: “Call your caregiver if: Your penis becomes very red or purple or swollen.”
Ok, so that search is leading to a lot of interesting things, but not many relevant ones. I’m not finding much, but I know that the punchline is “There was nothing I could do to control it: I kicked her right in the face!”
I’m not sure if you were serious. But no, I’m pretty sure he means the new high-tech scooter that’s supposed to be extremely useful, and someday soon replace walking as our most common mode of transportation. Or something. Link. It’s official name was IT, then Ginger, now Segway.
Sorry about all this, dp. Does anyone, anyone at all, have any sort of answer for the OP? I’m starting to think it was just a joke in Saturday Night Fever, and that perhaps the faint recollection was of the stretching device I linked to.
I hear John Holmes didn’t strap it, but he chose daily which leg to put it down. Can you blame me if I don’t want to find a cite? He revealed this when being interviewed, IIRC.
#1 - People used to wear really tight pants in the 70’s and dumb teenagers and/or dumb screenwriters thought you could prevent a boner, and thus embarassment, by ‘strapping’ it to your leg.
#2 - I don’t think this practice was ever very popular and I seriously doubt a strap was ever made specifically for penis/leg togetherness. The people that tried it probably used tape or some other thrown together contraption (shoestring/belt…etc.)
All I can say is that the movie “Indian Summer” also mentioned that. Although it was duct tape at summer camp and it was no match for the girl of his dreams. RIIIIIIIIIIP
