Look, I’m no Long-Dong Silver, but I show okay???
(Read that in a Jack Nicholson voice)
So my SO, who also works at my hospital tells me my scrubs are too tight and that women can see which way I’m hangin’! Well, what the hell am I s’posed to do about it? My scrubs are roomy enough (a size bigger, and I could smuggle in a truck load of illegals), but I still show! I wear briefs, so I try to to compact everything, but it somehow still works itself to stern and starboard, and I am not gonna wear a jock strap!
It’s not like I’m sporting major woodage guys, it’s just, well visible. So I ask ya’: Do y’all have this problem with your women and your equipment, and what do you do, if anything?
If it works itself to stern you’ll only look like you took a dump in your scrubs - that’s the back of the boat. I’m guessing that you mean it works itself to port and starboard (left and right).
I dress to the left. If you ever get a suit tailor made they’ll ask you this same question because they put more material in that side of the trousers so you won’t show.
I have a similar problem with some garments, and have come across several solutions, since sometimes it just does NOT feel appropriate to “show.”
(And there are other situations in which if I think I’m being looked at, I’ll show even more… )
So anyway, for general piece of mind, I will either 1) wear boxers, 2) wear tailored slacks (with extra "room), or 3) wear Dockers or some other brand of pleated khakis that have extra material in the front.
Since you have to wear scrubs, I guess 2) and 3) are out of the question… unless you can get someone to make you tailored scrubs, that is. Try boxers, or boxer briefs, and see if that helps.
Some garments, like jeans and sweatpants, just seem to have no solution, other than buying them SO BIG that the crotch hangs halfway to your knees.
Either that, or you can just wear a 16" strap-on over your briefs and let everyone conclude you’re “packing.”
Oh for the good days when men really did show. Now, with the loose pants, I have lost one of my greatest pleasures. (I usually check out the crotch, first).
Omigod, plnnr, you are correct sir! Guess that’s what I get for trying to be cute and nautical on y’all! What I meant to say was down and to the left!! I “dress” corrected!
I dress left. The one time I had something custom tailored, the tailor asked “Which way do you dress”? I just looked at her, not quite sure what she meant.
In my defense, I was an extremely well-read, but otherwise unsophisticated 18 at the time.
Then she looked, and said “Never mind”. By that time I had deduced her meaning. I was embarassed, but not mortified.
So, as to the OP, yes – if you look, you can tell. This falls under the category of ‘Not My Problem’. I figure if you’re looking, you want to see. Go ahead, look all you want. Just don’t touch (without asking).
Knowing how gossip is in the OR, it’s a little late to change things now – the cat’s out of the bag, so to speak. Tell the SO to smile knowingly, and revel in the jealousy from the SO’s of those less well-endowed.
I have very large testicles. No matter what pants I wear, I have a bulge as if I was part horse. Pornographic is how it has been referred to in the past by some.
My opinion? Whatever. If they want to look, let 'em. But they have no place to criticize.
And even though I am gay, yes I have had problems with women about this. Most of which wanted to fuck me because they thought I was carrying the joystick of their dreams. Ick.
Some women are not good at accepting no.
There’s two kinds; those that show and those that grow. I’m in the latter group. My cousin’s BF is supposedly similar to me in this respect, and calls his a “Turtle.” I refer to mine as “telescopic,” but I’m beginning to like saying turtle also.
I really don’t have this problem you guys are talking about. My penis retreats most of the way into my pelvis when not in use, sort of like what happens with most mammals. When erect, it tends to leans to my right, but showing when limp is almost never an issue.
Of course, it looks really silly when I’m changing in the gym after a workout. But since guys aren’t the ones I want to impress, I try not to worry too much.
i hang right. i’ve been going commando (no underwear) since i was a junior in hs. i also have a tendency to wear thin shorts, so almost everyone can see that my guy hangs right. the lean gets worse when erect, and the left side is wider than the right (it is curved out to the left instead of being straight like the right side). i’ve never had complaints, so i don’t worry. there was the time i walked into class late and my teacher made a comment about my swinging, which was a little akward.
To keep with the sailing analogy, I bear hard to port.
As far as the visibility problem goes, I think they design military apparel just so we’re always visible. I sit down and it’s like, “It’s trying to tell us something. Where’s the fire boy? To the left?”
I also have this problem at the gym. I tend to wear tighter shorts there, and since I have nothing even vaguely resembling a butt, they can be a little too tight. It’s really apparent when I’m doing decline bench. Of course, gravity takes over and I guess it really isn’t polite to point. Especially at the guy who’s spotting you.
Although, [sub]and if the rest of this wasn’t TMI… this is[/sub], I’m hung like a mosquito on a really cold day, so I guess it’s not too much of a problem.
