I originally wasnā€™t going to post to this thread, but after **Capā€™n Crudeā€™s** revelation, Iā€™m compelled to admit that I also am of the telescoping variety. When not deployed, my little pal is quite small, about 1", but when ā€˜on maneuversā€™ he is above average in length, and, if wifey can be believed, has a sparkling personality. šŸ˜‰ I mention this simply because Iā€™m curious as to how many of us there are out there. I just always assumed there were ā€˜variationsā€™. I really havenā€™t been paying that much attention at the gym. ---

Thank you, **Capā€™n Crude** for striding out and admitting to being ā€œtelescopingā€. Iā€™ll certainly remember that term, as it accurately describes me as well. I sā€™pose the nautical term for the natural resting place of my equipment would be ā€œtucked in the holdā€. No real hanging at all, just kind of sits to the front. Which I actually am learning to appreciate, considering how ridiculous a penis looks when not in the ā€œup and readyā€ position. All things considered (including the difficulties stated in the OP) it strikes me as extremely efficient to be able to tuck it well away when not in use. The only challenge is keeping the surroundings well trimmed so as to not overgrow. Donā€™t want to not be able to see the tree for the forest. šŸ˜‰ Not to mention the significant difference between the size ā€œat restā€ and the size ā€œat playā€. Upon first encountering it, my SO was suitably amazed at the transformation. Likened it to ā€œThe Incredible Hulkā€, a comparison I certainly didnā€™t object to. Though I donā€™t think David Banner undergoes a twelve-fold to fourteen-fold size increase. šŸ˜ƒ [sub]ā€¦and before yā€™all start snickering, no it does NOT turn green. More reddish-purplishā€¦[/sub] ---

Yet another telescoper checking in. Average+ when in use, but man-oh-man! when not in use it looks like I just took a dip in the mountain streamā€¦Wife absolutely loves this- ā€œItā€™s so cute!ā€ obviously is meant to be a compliment, but the masculine side of me has problems with owning a ā€˜cuteā€™ penis. Getting head from someone talking cute-talk is also disturbing. But somehow I manage! šŸ˜‰ -Tcat ---

I hang down, most of the time. Interesting, but guys with huge pricks show less than those with smaller items, I guess they tuck it in their back pocket. ā€˜Male Jiggleā€™ itā€™s called. I think that after a guy is 50 itā€™s not very exciting to women but what would I know? Is it? ---

My college sweetheart had never seen a limp pecker before(lucky girl), so I was willing to oblige her curiosity. She associated it with a ā€œslugā€, that garden slimy thing. Then a minute later she called it a ā€œsluggerā€ (Louisville style), and her feminine area became, naturally, ā€œsluggeeā€. Be that as it may, I lay left, when in repose, and slightly to the right while not reposing in the least. ---

When I was younger, I used to love to show off the package in a pair of tight jeans. And now that Iā€™m older, I tend to give the ā€œDo ya MIND?!ā€ look to anyone whoā€™s peekin. Oh, and itā€™s ā€œto the leftā€. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-way-do-you-hang-guys/67841.md?page=1)
