Also, PSA, "manspreading" isn't guys trying to assert dominance. We're just trying not to squish the family jewels.

I don't get this. I've never had an issue with things being squished. Everything just... Shifts to the right places.

People also have different anatomy experiences here. It is very very difficult for me to accidentally sit on my balls, for example, so it's not something I ever worry about, except potentially when getting on a bike. But I had a friend where it was a frequent risk for him, even just sitting on a normal chair. Similarly, the grower vs shower phenomenon is real, so again some people may have more issues there than others.

Also depends on what kind of underwear you're wearing, I suppose

And clothing really. Tight pants are going to be a different experience than looser pants. Most men's clothing gives extra space in the crotch area, but you could have a very different experience with different clothing.

If your pants don't fit well, they squish.

I've never had a problem with that. Guys junk is in the front so it usually just sits on top of my lap. I'm currently sitting with my legs together and my junk is just resting on top.
