Dear God. Ike I applaude you. I, too, was reading this thread and laughing my ass off when a coworker came into my office to investigate.
I personally stick mine in a glass overnight with some saline solution…oh, wait, I think we’re talking about different things.
“air it out?” heh. I can’t say more. Just heh. (big fan of funky PJs here. Complete sets. Sorry.)
here i was, thinking it was my dirty little mind and that you must be talking about gum… heh.
this is a very interesting thread. makes me want to peek under the covers and see how carl does it.
i, myself, always sleep curled up with my knees high and something soft in my arms (no, you freaks, i mean like a stuffed animal… no! not that either!).
This topic is way too funny! I guess that, being a woman, I’ve never thought about what guys do with their package. I don’t really want to think about it!!
And while we’re on this type of subject… free-ballin and sleeping naked… do women sleep with or without a bra on? I personally prefer to be without but I don’t have a very big chest so I don’t have to worry about sagging or anything.
No way in hell you could PAY me to wear a bra to bed. I never leave the house without one on, and dammit, that’s the most I’m ever going to do to fight gravity.
couldn’t resist :rolleyes:
if its cold, briefs, with the little guy face up, let the balls breathe.
hot, aaabsoluuuuteleeee nikid! let it all hang loose.
if my girlfriends over, she puts it where she wants, which i never have any objections to, because she has some pretty fun ideas about it. 
if she’s not over and i’m wishing she were,
i give myself a good workout:)
…and proud to say i do!
Briefs. Keeps things contained. Also a sleep shirt. slow removal of extraneous clothing is a great part of foreplay!
Also, having three teenage daughters in the house, if there is an emergency with one of them, I don’t need to be on the scene au naturel.
Sleep with a bra on? Goodness gracious. I would sooner go to sleep wearing a tool belt!
(Not that kind of tool belt, you perverts!)
Well, I just have to get in on this one. This is one of those threads that I use as an example when telling people why they have to check out the wonderful SDMB.
What do I do with my little buddy: after I’m done using it for my personal gratification, I let it flop wherever it wants. It has a mind of its own and I don’t like to interfere when it’s not necessary.
nightclothes? sweatpants in the winter; briefs in the spring; unbridled enthusiasm in the summer; variable in the fall.
OK, I’ll keep this brief (“Har-dee-har, Coldfire! You’re TOO funny :rolleyes:”).
I wear boxers and a T-shirt in winter, and mostly nothing in the summer. I sleep on my left side, mostly, and -ahem- make sure none of the equipment gets stuck between my thighs before I doze off.
HOWEVER: it sometimes happens that my little semi-spherical friends somehow find their way between my thighs during the night, mostly during rolling manoeuvres, I suppose. This leads to a rather painful wake-up call, readjustment, and more sleep. Luckily, this only happens once a month or so.
This might be too much information. But dammit, it sure answers the OP: more than can be said for the majority of my posts
I used to always sleep in a bra, but oh no, not anymore. Sometimes it bothers me when my ladies get together during the night, but that’s just the skin on skin thing, again.
well, i wear mostly nothing at night, and a bra is NEVER an option for sleeping in for me… i hate wiremarks, and if it gets cold enough, i just get another blanket.
I think I own a bra… . somewhere. I sleep nude.
Oh my goodness, Ike, I am laughing so loudly my roomie just woke up. Fire ants, jesus. I am gonna use that line sometime (even thought I am lacking in the necessary equipment).
Ok, to answer the question: I have pretty big gals (36D) and so I always have to wear a bra =( After working out today, running for a few miles, I can tell ya that it sucks big time, no sports bra is that powerful.
At home I sleep nude, but my roommate has some problems with that. So I sleep in panties and a tee-shirt, pajama bottoms and a tank top, or just panties if it is hot (if she sees an errant boob, she can just look away) NEVER a bra - uck. My first semester at college, I slept in a bra for a month cause I didn’t want my old roommies to see the gals, it was so awful.
As for “airing it out” - it’s just to reduce skin friction. I sleep on my tummy, arms akimbo (is that a word?) and legs out. It’s just more comfy that way. And it really doesn’t need to “air out.” It’s not a new car.
Finally, for the penis/balls thing, my boyfriend sleeps naked too except when he is here (he doesn’t have a roomie). Then he puts on boxers, sleeps on his left side, and his wee-niblets fall where they may.
Aluminum foil, oh my gosh that was flippin funny!
Okay, I’ll bite.
I don’t really feel the need to ‘air’ anything out, but I sleep on my side with the bottom leg straight down and the top one bent at about a 45 degree angle at the hip, and bent at the knee. Comfortable and keeps me from getting a backache.
I don’t wear anything to bed. (except sometimes socks if my feet are cold)
I wondered when someone would mention the rise and fall of breasts in this thread…
I sometimes slip a pillow in between my breasts (they are quite large), and hug it, mostly, because I don’t like the skin on skin thing either…and it’s just more comfortable to keep them seperated.
I never paid any attention to where my (now-ex) husband kept his family jewels. I only wish I had someone here to pay attention to now. (And I know where I want them!)
This has been a very entertaining thread…

Hubby sleeps on his side with the trio in front.
Before my kid, I slept in just undies (if you must know, I favor 100% cotton thongs), now I sleep in everything. Including a bra.
My reasoning: I was big already, then went up to a 36H (as in HUGE) while I was breastfeeding. They gradually shrank to my present size, but were SO cumbersome during and after pregnancy, I can’t bear the thought of them losing more elasticity for the sake of comfort.
Call it vanity, that’s what it is.
ROFL! This is the funniest thread I’ve seen in quite a while! And, Ike, my dear, that was absolutely priceless! My kitty and puppy are looking at me strangely now.
I have no idea what Mr Bear does with his jewels when he’s sleeping, I never asked. He usually sleeps in his whitey tighties since we have kids.
As for me, I sleep in as little as possible, which means with kids in the house, a nighty or sleepshirt, sans undies. Even though I have way too much upstairs (I’m not bragging, but complaining, think cantelopes), I can’t stand the idea of being squished all night as well as all day long. As to the ‘airing out’ I don’t do anything in particular for that, since I move around a lot in my sleep anyway, and hug my body pillow so my legs and arms are usually apart. Now aren’t you glad you asked?
It’s not where I tuck, but in which direction I face. I have to face away from the wifey because if I face her and she’s not careful, she’ll lie on it and it’ll be numb in the morning. Have you ever tried to pee with a numb johnson?
Where do I keep the boys?
Dammit, I DON’T KNOW!!! I set them free one night to air out and haven’t seen them since.
Seriously, if anyone has seen them, I’d really appreciate a heads up. So to speak.
RE: aluminum
Oh you are so lucky to be living down South. I was born in GA (fire ant territory) but moved to Boston as a teenager.
Here’s a tip, if you ever vacation up here in winter
Recipe:
1 building full of dry winter New England air, heated
1 wool/polyester blend motel blankets
(alas, we never used top sheets at home. so I thought
they were uncomfortable and stripped them out)
1 aluminum foil sphere
… is this beginning to sound like one of those giant lightning-throwing van DeGraff generators? It should.
Use the plastic icebox liner as insulation.

Looks like I killed this thread.
Mea culpa… I realize my post wasn’t very clear. I guess I was internally chuckling at the name ‘JoltSucker’ (the originator of this thread) vis a vis “massive static discharge”
