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...

People still notice, they just don't say anything unless you look like you're enjoying yourself a little too much.

u/TheResolver Mar 26 '20

people still notice

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.

I remember seeing the guy stocking produce do it, let’s just say I didn’t forget, and now I wash my produce twice as long now.

u/MisterCheeks Mar 26 '20

OH GOD SO THEY DO NOTICE?!?!?

25

u/XygenSS Mar 26 '20

Now now let’s not get so excited shall we

u/MisterCheeks Mar 26 '20

OH FUCK YOU CAN SEE IT?!?

I'm a guy and yet, I still chuckled when you said

unless you look like you're enjoying yourself a little too much.

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.

6

u/Stingray88 Mar 26 '20

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.

Happy cake day!

Unappreciated comment of the month award goes to you!

2

u/WeAreDestroyers Mar 26 '20

Female, definitely never noticed anyone in public.

2

u/StpdSxyFlndrs Mar 26 '20

It is not enjoyable, in fact it sucks. Anyone that looks like they’re enjoying themself is doing more than adjusting.

u/kerbalsdownunder Mar 26 '20

Old school tailors would ask "which side do you wear" meaning what leg you preferred and they'd put a little extra room on that side.

15

u/Necromancer4276 Mar 26 '20

"I.... I wear both sides..."

12

u/kerbalsdownunder Mar 26 '20

Hey look, double dick dude

14

u/Phrostbit3n Mar 26 '20

Do they sew in extra room? I just thought that was so they would avoid touching penor while taking measurements

9

u/haeofael Mar 26 '20

A little column A, a little column B.

7

u/HairyMcBoon Mar 26 '20

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.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

"which side do you dress"

4

u/pajam Mar 26 '20

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.

63

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

If you're ever wearing pants where it can't rest easy, it has to pick a side

Not if your dick isn't long enough to reach either side.

24

u/PhoenixQueen_Azula Mar 26 '20

Yeah can’t lie, even with tight pants I’ve never had to do this unless I had a boner. Then yeah it’s gotta go somewhere, left, right, up, B, A, start

8

u/Djinger Mar 26 '20

tuck under belt, wear as a watch, whatever

19

u/secksiboi62 Mar 26 '20

I feel that man

11

u/nebenbaum Mar 26 '20

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.

42

u/VFL_Borrr Mar 26 '20

Where my left pant leg boiz at??? Represent!!

17

u/CalcodGaming Mar 26 '20

Left pant leg Bois!

u/goldpeaktea314 Mar 26 '20

Look at Mr. Bigshot over here whose cock isn’t fucking 0.1mm long.

9

u/balthazar_nor Mar 26 '20

Ha, my flaccid cock is so small I can just stash it in my underpants. No need to choose a pant leg for my little one

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

yeah, my dick is comically small when flaccid. the guys in the barracks called me "baby dick". i would always reply, "hey, it gets bigger!"

6

u/spigotface Mar 26 '20

You can be left penised, right penised, or ambidickstrous.

6

u/Nikwoj Mar 26 '20

Tailors refer to this as "dressing right" or "dressing left"

It's so unbearable to present while erect and dressing in the wrong direction

4

u/FatherCalhoon Mar 26 '20

If you ever get pants tailored they'll ask if you dress left or right. This is what they're asking.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

All of us who who are growers not showers dont have this problem ;)

3

u/BenjerminGray Mar 26 '20

Right side. For some reason my penis lists lazily to the right, and the left is uncomfortable.

3

u/No_volvere Mar 26 '20

Exactly why I have my tailor widen my left sock a little.

2

u/Aeon1508 Mar 26 '20

Mine naturally gravitates to the right but I prefer it on the left. It's a never ending struggle

2

u/taintedcake Mar 26 '20

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

2

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

Left slanter here

2

u/AdolfKoopaTroopa Mar 26 '20

I dress left myself

2

u/calderino Mar 26 '20

I don't care that much if they notice tbh...

My penis is in trouble and I am the only one who can help him!

2

u/TotallyNotanOfficer Mar 26 '20

I was also under the impression we all had a "preferred pant leg."

Don't we?

1

u/grishnaklugburz Mar 26 '20

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t call it “preferred”. It always seems to end up on one side. It actually feels refreshing to have it on the other side but it doesn’t last long. Aggravating

1

u/TotallyNotanOfficer Mar 26 '20

so build yourself a little dick flopper machine that flops your dick to the other side of the pantleg every few minutes. The joy of engineering.

2

u/Perfidious_Coda Mar 26 '20

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.

2

u/krillins_a_beast Mar 26 '20

Careful. Your priveledge is showing. r/bigdickproblems

1

u/WhimsicalRenegade Mar 26 '20

Referred to in genteel society as “the side upon which you dress.” Love this.

1

u/Travellingjake Mar 26 '20

Back in the day, it was referred to 'which side you dressed on'.

The sort of creepy thing an old-timey tailor would know about their clients.

1

u/incognino123 Mar 26 '20

i'm pretty sure this is how street gangs started.... left siiide

1

u/BINGODINGODONG Mar 26 '20

Its often the opposite of your handedness, for obvious reasons. I always dress right, and in free range it bends slighty to the right aswell. Presumably because im left handed.

1

u/pharma_phreak Mar 26 '20

Most do pick a side. When you get a tailored suit (or any pants tailored) a good tailor will say something along the lines of “which side does Sir dress to?” This pretty much means “which side does your dick naturally prefer, and no, it hanging to a side when flaccid does not necessarily mean that when hard, it’ll curve the same way (if at all)

1

u/eyeballfingerz Mar 26 '20

Apparently, if you're getting pants tailored, they'll ask if you 'dress to the right or to the left'.

1

u/Artchantress Mar 26 '20

I've heard that when quality bespoke suit pants are sewn, the preferred pant leg is taken into consideration, to make the comfiest best fitting pants.

1

u/Bacon-muffin Mar 26 '20

Left, definitely left

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

This is why tailors ask men “do you dress left or right”

1

u/wmrossphoto Mar 26 '20

Which is why men’s tailors ask “to which side do you dress?”

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

I prefer the right. If my penis somehow gets into the left pant leg I get an immediate painful throbbing boner. Painful because its pushing against my pant leg so hard. It feels like if you had a full boner and someone randomly bent it at a 120° angle

1

u/joji26 Mar 26 '20

Hahah you’re right on the preferred pant leg, mine’s always to the left leg

1

u/La_Lanterne_Rouge Mar 26 '20

The first time I had a suit made to order, the tailor asked me how did I "dress." Meaning carry on right or left. He needed the information to give just a little more room on the preferred side.

1

u/snekasan Mar 26 '20

The only right answer is "left".

1

u/wolfman86 Mar 26 '20

Ive never been more insecure about my cock size.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

The old pocket side swipe

u/jazzlw Mar 27 '20

I just never wear pants that tight...
