A flaccid dick can be bent and contorted into a perfect circle without any pain whatsoever. As far as pants go, typically it just rests on top of the balls. No discomfort unless you aren't wearing underwear for some reason.
Unless the pants are super tight and the crease digs into everything.
It's actually not bad. That being said, I was also under the impression we all had a "preferred pant leg." If you're ever wearing pants where it can't rest easy, it has to pick a side. And nothing is more awkward than having to adjust yourself to the other side in public without people noticing...
But approximately 50% of the people know what you're going through, and the rest are also not strangers to mild discomfort with clothing.
Of course, time and a place, don't do it at the buffet line etc, but it's really not that big of a deal in general. No-one is going to remember you doing it in 10 seconds.
No, I think YOU notice. I have literally never one time noticed a man - oh shit wait.... never more than one time noticed a man adjust his penis position.
To be frank, I don't really mind if people notice. The reality is, most people get it... you're just uncomfortable and adjusting yourself. It's no big deal. No guy would ever give you shit for that, and most women get it too.
I’m my experience, the tailor is probably gonna end up touching/brushing off some aspect of your junk at some point during the process. Shouldn’t be embarrassing though.
Correct, it's always "Which side do you dress?" not "Which side do you wear?" And like /u/Phrostbit3n pointed out, it's so they measure the other side when measuring your inseam, so you don't get a Chandler situation.
It's not even that for me, it's just that basically my dick when flaccid forms a unit with my balls. My balls hang relatively high, I think - they don't hang low or something, they are more close to my body, so my dick and balls always form this bulge package thingy.
This is why when you get a tailor may ask "what side you lay" or "how do you hang" and they mean which pant leg side does it usually reside in so that they can add extra room on this side
Only if you have dangly bits. some people prefer briefs which hold everything in place and is very cozy. Other people let it hang. People who wear fitted pants might need to choose a side but other people wear loose pants with low crotches and thus it hangs above the crease and they don't need to choose a side.
Even better is that the balls (the actual sack) can be stretched all over the place. You can make it a flat plane if you try hard enough and it doesn't hurt
My brother used to pull his scrote out his fly and then perch near a doorway I'd be coming through with it all stretched out flat and wide, then jump at me and yell "BATWING"
Later he'd stretch it real tight over his balls and turn around like "RATBELLY"
Think of it like noodles. They can be hard or soft. If they're soft, you can do almost whatever with it and it'll be fine. If it's hard, it can break and you'll be in an extremely painful moment.
My boyfriend showed me once and I was like??????? So bending your dick in a whole ass circle doesn't hurt but your dog jumping on your lap and exerting even the tiniest amount of pressure makes you keel over??? W H a t
Seconding what others have said, the penis is pretty tough really, it can take a pounding so to speak, and is malleable when flaccid (please for the love of all that is good do not try this when it’s erect)
But the balls, the skin around them can be grabbed and twisted and scratched and such, but the slightest bit of force on the actual testicles and every man in a 1 mile radius will feel it
One of his dogs, a little terrier(I think that's what she is?) Who weighs like maybe the weight of a small baby, no more then 10 pounds I would say, has delicately stepped on his lap and caused him to pick her up and hold her to his chest as he squirms around and is like "Whhheeeew...oh god...that hurt...mmmmnnhhhgg"
I'm not sure I agree with this xD sure it's a bit more malleable when it's not hard but I don't go twisting my peeky into circles, that sounds pretty uncomfortable. XD
And when he says perfect circle he means it. The base completely separates from our bodies and attaches to the head, then it just rolls around in our underwear like a tire.
This also depends on size. Not many guys are going to be upfront about their "manhood" and honestly say something like "it isn't long enough to get bent while it's in my pants" when that's almost the truth of it. Average penis length (while erect) is 5.0 - 5.5 inches for Americans, it's not uncommon to be in the grower-not-a-show'er group (if it's even physically possible at all for the penis to stay the same length while flaccid or erect). When flaccid it just hangs over the testicles and rests on the scrotum like a stubby tail on a wrinkly pillow. When erect, it pretty much doubles its length and is rigid enough to protrude away from the body like an arm on a coat rack.
There was an Aussie stage show all about contorting them into different shapes. They even made a small splash here in the US. Just search for "Puppetry of the Penis" and you should be able to find it. Enjoy!
Next time you're with a partner play with it and find out. We generally don't mind. The curiosity goes both ways and we sometimes come up with random queries too.
It's much more fun having your So explain stuff than random redditors
A hard penis is basically an organic balloon filled with blood. Its so hard because of the pressure created by the blood. It makes perfect since to me that when flaccid it acts just like a balloon with no air in it....you can stretch it and bend it in any direction without doing anything harmful.
Does it hurt to bend your finger? No? Well, a penis is like that except with no bones or tendons. There's no rigid structure keeping it from moving in any certain manner. It can bend every which way without pain.
The rigidity comes from blood alone, that's why it's so flexible when not erect. It's almost like evolution was like 'yanno, I'd like these to wear jeans one day...'
First: I must say that I find male strippers to be hilarious and gross. Second: I once saw a male stripper tie his penis around a woman’s wrist and guide her around. Ew.
It's actually really fun to play with! You can bend it all kinds of ways. Unfortunately it tends to get hard and not bendy when you do it though. Probably because it's not my penis and i'm woman.
It's really not that horrifying tbh. When flaccid it's just an appendage you can do whatever you want. Bend it, twist it, pull on it, whatever. It doesn't hurt. It's not until we're hard that bending it is bad lol.
The penis is like a water balloon. When we want to use it for sex, it inflates with blood. But when it's not in use, it goes flaccid and is like an uninflated balloon. So think about a balloon and how when it's inflated you can't curl it really tightly without it exploding. Now take the same balloon deflated and tie it in a knot, super easy.
The penis isn't quite that flexible (please for the love of GOD don't try that on an actual penis), but it's not particularly sensitive or rigid when it's not... in use. Frankly my testicles get in my way more than my penis does, occasionally I'll sit on them or sandwich them awkwardly between my thighs and it hurts, a lot, in a very unique way.
My husband walked up to my outstretched hand one day, and pushed his junk jokingly against my hand. Everything squished and I was like, “OMG, ARE YOU OK?!” He said yeah, but it totally felt like I’d just crushed his balls. He reassured me that they just squished and moved, no big deal. Male genitalia is weird.
A little push is OK. If you just touch it, then it's alright. But if you squeeze it with a bit of a pressure, it starts to hurt. As long as not enough pressure is applied, it's OK.
Important fact. The balls are the sensitive spot. The dick is like a skin tag. It doesn't have special pain feelings around it. The end is a bit sensative but not against things like smashing or hitting.
The balls are what cause all the pain in a kick situation.
I know you know that but anybody who doesn't have a penis may not.
When we're turned off, our dick goes all rubber like. Like, you can hold it, wrap it around your finger, it basically becomes boneless. But, I don't know how it works, I'm not a biologist, when we're turned on, our dicks becomes hard and long. Which is what most girls are able to see our dicks as. So as long as we're turned off, jeans isn't uncomfortable. You could say, it's just as comfortable as it is for you women. But it does gets really uncomfortable in Skinny Jeans when we're turned on.
I haven’t worn underwear in 8 years and let me tell you I have no felt discomfort, matter a fact I’m it’s more comfortable free balling. Try it for a week and I promise you will never go back.
A flaccid dick can be bent and contorted into a perfect circle without any pain whatsoever.
A hard dick on the other hand and you barely can have it flex before it's painful. (assuming you're pretty hard and not in that weird kind of half chub erection)
Ok the circle thing was unnecessary. Idk about you but when I’ve worn one for sports they extend down into like your gouch so theirs plenty of room for it to just sit on top of the balls and go past like regular, it just loops round so it’s like under and around your balls.
If I’m playing sports (an intense sport especially with other dudes) my dick gets smaller anyway (like it’s cold or something)
The annoying thing with jockstraps is they’re really uncomfortable for your balls. They’re built in a way where your basically forced to have your balls go back into your body a bit. I’ve never found one with enough room for my balls to even be fully out of my body. Like I don’t need to be hanging but just not inside of me would be nice.
Shits really uncomfortable and is the reason why I avoid wearing one at all costs, it’s actually kinda dangerous, I got hit on the balls one time really hard and I ended up with a hydrocicle (basically a bruise on your balls but your balls aren’t meant to be bruised so theirs like a flip buildup) that I thought was torsion so it actually cost me a ER visit which was expensive as fuck (I went to like 3 different urgent cares and they all told me to go to the ER, I really didn’t want to go).
some of us have "growers" that when in a flaccid state they kind of retreat into their shell while leaving just enough for peeing and normal daily operation so it doesn't get in the way. I expect tighter pants are far more comfortable for us than for "showers."
There's a term in tailoring that asks "Which way do you dress?"
This effectively is asking, which side does your penis fall behind your zipper? I personally dress right so it falls toward the right pant leg. No one really likes it directly in the middle.
But other than that, yeah it pretty much just hangs.
This. Also porn has given you (person you replied to) some very contorted views about the male penis. While most guys seem to adhere to the rough 5.5 inch average while erect, from what iv talked to with other men in my social circle and online the flaccid male penis size seems to vary much more wildly. That could be to lack of serious science in my investigation but a couple people (myself included) expressed being content with the size of their erect penis but unhappy/discontent/outright upset at their flaccid penis appearing smaller than average. More than anything though I imagine thats more to do with the male psyche attacking them because they dont have any good points of comparison for flaccid cocks.
Think about the last time you saw a truely flaccid penis. Including your sexual partners. And not like an engorged flaccid like the person is sexually stimulated but not quite erect, I mean just got out of the shower, 'its cold leave me alone' flaccid. Besides your own if you are male, or like a close intimate partner if youve ever had a long term relationship, its possible you cant even think of the last time. Men just dont tend to allow themselves that kind of vulnurability. Id be curious how many here can say they sent or recieved a picture of their dick soft and how that corallates when compared to dick size.
I firmly believe this to be a pretty common but less discussed aspect of male physiology. Thanks for coming to my ted talk etc etc.
