I don’t wear anything to bed. I keep “mine” in the same place mangeorge keeps his. Er… wait… that’s not what I meant… I mean… it’s not what it sounded like… ummm… uhhh… nevermind… * * * Sometimes I feel like a real dum-ass around here… and that’s a good thing. ---

It’s not to ‘air out’ but rather just because I’m more comfortable sleeping without skin touching skin. ## On the other hand, if it’s cold I just turn into a contortionist and put my nose between my knees. “Mega the Roo - Patron Saint of Marsupials and Shampoo” -Ms Riddles ---

Okay, I’m still confused. You said: > [@](#): > > Do women sometimes lay on their backs with their legs apart to let air out “down there”? To let air out of _what_? ---

I think he means to let air circulate. That makes the most sense. Me like Roo I sleep with my legs spread slightly when its warm because it just gets too hot. And then I curl up as well when its cold. Even in sleeping bags which is a real contortionist act. * * * Bargain not with the Darkness: in time it will take us all.

I sleep on my stomach, and tuck my hands down there. I always have, ever since I was about 4. This is just a bizarre question. I have no clue as to why I contributed. * * * [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Shadow of the Pigeon** - Weirdo of the Night ---

I just re-read my post, and now I see the source of your confusion. **TopazAntares** is correct. I meant to say “let **it** air out”. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that anyone was inflated, like a balloon. 😃 Sorry. So who’s question is sillier, mine or JoltSucker’s? Peace, mangeorge ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by jazzmine: > **How many of you men were something to bed (briefs, boxers, pjs, etc.)?[/slight hijack] > trisha** I usually wear briefs to bed, like I wear them everywhere else ( **never** boxers). They hold my frank and beans tightly against my torso, so’s they don’t flop around uncomfortably all over the place. Or, if I’m with my girlfriend and we’ve just had congress, we usually fall asleep in each other’s arms and I seldom bother putting the briefs back on. * * * On On ---

ooooohhhhhh…I get it now! I can’t say that I do that _consciously_, but my mother always said that you shouldn’t wear panties to bed because you need to let air circulate down there. I usually sleep _au naturel_, unless it is cold. Then I just wear a t-shirt and socks. ---

I couldn’t pass up this thread. I sleep naked on my side and sometimes find that my boys get crushed between my thighs. Does anyone else have this problem? ---

**jazzmine** , during the colder months, I sleep with only a warm top on, only because my arms are very sensitive to cold. The rest of me is a regular furnace. During the warmer months, I’m nude. I often end up in the uncomfortable situation where my elbows ache from being cold, yet the rest of me is sweating like a pig. I’ve toyed with the idea of sleeping with nothing but legwarmers on my arms, but I can’t bring myself to look like a twisted Carmen Miranda impersonator. ---

**lask** , you’re a type A, just like me (see my OP). It’s not so much for a feeling of security as it is that my ball are big, and it tugs uncomfortably on my scrotum if I let it all dangle out front. ---

I carefully wrap them in gauze and aluminum foil, then daub the whole thing over with clear fingernail polish and blow on it until it dries. I’m dreadfully afraid of the fire ants. ---

Lets see, I’ve never felt any need to adjust it. I sleep naked and it drapes where gravity takes it. The real question is, it you tuck it between your legs…what the fuck do you do about morning wood? Damn, I’d be in agony. ---

Put me in the “C” class. Without fail, every night. Just like for the three little guys to breathe. Sometimes, when I’m wearing boxers, I’ll pull out the gang through the pee flap and let em hang out all night. ---

This is one of the stupidest threads, and one of the funniest I have seen. I like the clear nail polish post Ike. I cannot read this at work any more.
