Men of the Lounge: Please explain the adjusting your package thing to me

Seriously can't you just tuck it in there and leave it alone for the rest of the day??

:D :popcorn:

I'm taking about their packages what the hell are you thinking about?

Hey, why not? If the situation were reversed (somehow...) there would no doubt be cries of misogyny.

:rofl:

:rofl:

To make sure it's still there. They're all convinced that we were born with one as well and somehow lost it.


:hide:

:hi:

:hide:

:rofl:

Say exscuse me maam, could you do something for me? :silly: on second thought. Maybe that isn't such a good idea

Now if I could only find my Audience :yoiks:

Where their intestines get all wrapped and tied up around from walking all day. It's similar.

Colic in horses is defined as abdominal pain, but it is a clinical sign rather than a diagnosis. The term colic can encompass all forms of gastrointestinal conditions which cause pain as well as other causes of abdominal pain not involving the gastrointestinal tract. The most common forms of colic are gastrointestinal in nature and are most often related to colonic disturbance. There are a variety of different causes of colic, some of which can prove fatal without surgical intervention. Colic surgery is usually an expensive procedure as it is major abdominal surgery, often with intensive aftercare. Among domesticated horses, colic is a major cause of premature death. The incidence of colic in the general horse population has been estimated between 10 and 11 percent on an annual basis. It is important that any person who owns or works with horses be able to recognize the signs of colic and determine whether or not a veterinarian should be called

or our underwear somehow twists and my balls kvetch. Come on now it's a recipe for disaster: sweat, hair, spongy tissue.

I bet if your underboob was hairy, you'd scratch it all day

:rofl:

One of the best, that one is. :7

Like a frightened turtle!

"Commando"

Actually, I think that's three words.

:P

IBTL

I do adore you.

:D

:popcorn:

you'd question my sanity

I'd just laugh. :D



But... wait... your boobs don't require any fiddling ever, all day long?

:rofl:

I dunno... I think I fiddle with mine even when it's not required sometimes.

I get bored easily. :P

Came close a few years back, but they discontinued them. :cry:

That always happens to me, too. x(

:rofl:

but you know, if the bra fits well you should be fine for the rest of the day.

Someone put a bra hex on me or something. x(

and well for daily use buy something practical

then. Easy process.

The fool things always seem to work their way up and stab me in the armpit at the most inappropriate moments - like at classy dinner parties or during job interviews. The guy who came up with those has to have been a member of the Spanish Inquisition during a previous incarnation.

:D

But thanks for that mental image. :P

time.

For instance, male ballet dancers have to wear something like that.
?v=0

Would you rather see that, or see a guy feel a need to adjust himself every now and then? :shrug:

It protrudes and it needs adjustment once in a while!!!



:P

and if I do need to adjust them I at least do it in private.

Not standing in front of some guy's desk.

Maybe they're trying to call our attention to that area. :eyes:

I think you make minor adjustments all day and don't really realize it. A pluck here, a body twist there, maybe a shimmy or a jiggle there...

Most guys do it in subtle ways. "Adjusting" the beltline is often really a package adjustment. So is taking an extra wide step. It lets the naughty bits re-align.

Discretely!

You're surrounded by men constantly adjusting their packages!!!

:D

If you had, you wouldn't ask.

Bake

:rofl:

Bruised at the very least.

:woohoo:

:evilgrin:

What is up with that, anyway? The minute we all turn forty, it's -- well, I'd get the thread locked.

:woohoo:
Julie

:(

I never breastfed.

I'm thinking this is genetic. ;-( Then again, without the current emphasis on women remaining hawt until they die, I probably wouldn't even care. Now, I feel weird. :scared:

Julie

She said, "Don't get used to them Bub, it's temporary!"

Sigh.

That proved to be true. For the next seven years, two sons worth, the majority of time I got to look at them there was a head in the way.

Both of my boys weaned after they were three, and both of them are extraordinarily healthy and though they lived on boobs, have not been boobs.

Now that I get to look unobstructed at the boobs that remain I say, adjusting my package, they are still very beautiful boobs. They look just fine and they make me think of good health, good parenting and extraordinary love in extraordinarily happy times.

thread.

I think the thread is fun and funny.

But it is always a pleasure to advocate for breast feeding, particularly given the way things are going these days.

It was truly a joy for the whole family and it made for wonderful bonding between all of us.

It saved us a lot of money and time too, from what I'm told. I don't think we ever owned a baby bottle, much less sterilized or bought stuff for one. It was very convenient once you got over ignoring the stuff from the peanut galleries.

I mean, really, that's what they're there for, in spite of what our culture says! :)

My kids are 11 and 8 and have always been extremely healthy (and smart, if I do say so). They weren't weaned totally until after they turned two.

The equipment isn't bad, just a wee bit farther south these days.

Sometimes you don't know how far down they are dangling.

:rofl:

:spray: :rofl:

you speak the gospel!!!

:rofl:

you try having your genitals hanging down in front of your pelvis. What if your liver or a kidney were free-floating? You need to keep that shit safe, comfortable, and secure.

it moves around, gets uncomfortable

if your sack ain't right, then you ain't right, period.

:evilgrin:

You would not believe how bent/tangled/folded/spindled/mutilated it gets sometimes.

or the serious reach-inside-the-pants-and-set-everything-straight maneuver?

The Big Adjustment.

Note: probably not a good idea to do this in the elevator or other semi-public place.

Bake

however, I have a tech that comes and services one of our machines here. Damn, if that guy doesn't have his hands full of tools, he has his hands full of his bits.

I finally had to say something to him.

me: dude, if you have to move things around, please take it to the bathroom.

him: what?

me: this is a professional office...

(he grabs himself)

me: that, that right there!

him: what? oh...(blush) sorry.

for this guy, it's a nervous behavior, like constantly adjusting ones glasses. But man, dude, are you so insecure that you have to make sure they are there ever single frigging moment of the day?

You have a lot of balls for saying that!

What REALLY sucks is if the pants I'm wearing happen to be a little tight and I'm sitting down most of the time at work...well, how can I put this delicately..things just move around if you stand up.
Then, when you go to sit back down, you have to repeat the process.

FYI: sitting on a stray nut is NOT a very pleasant experience.

:P

Seriously though, if I didn't have to walk, sit down or, you know, wear clothing, it wouldn't be a problem. Daily life has its hazards.

x(

:P

I work in an office and I'm always in and out of my chair, so it's always shifting position.

A guy who sits or stands if it's in a bad position is in for a heap of pain. :hurts:

and dimensions; nothing ever 'stays put'. The 'retractable' models on most other mammals are better designed.

when you sit? Are they up top or underneath? How do you sit with your legs crossed?
I have asked these questions to every man I have ever dated, and never get a reasonable answer....


(Now, running through my mind: "Beans and franks, Beans and franks, Beans and franks, Beans and franks.")

who needs all these issues every day of your life

:o

You can't be serious!

They're so freaky and interesting-looking... and they move around as if they were made of magic. :wow:

that's enough for me

will answer either!

they go wherever they can. Sometimes they end up just ...sitting there at the bottom, sometimes they shrink up a bit and stay close, and sometimes (rarely) they get twisted around...er... frank.

It's really difficult to describe. Anyone want photo diagrams?

Allow me to remedy that...

This was crossposted - thanks, unpossibles.

Diagrams would be helpful. :7

If they were any bigger, they could appear in a medical journal. I really wish they were smaller in the same way that women with really big boobs wish theirs were smaller.

They follow the path of least resistance so I wear rather loose underwear to keep from hurting myself. Sitting with my legs crossed is most uncomfortable. If I wore tighty whities they would ache after a few hours. Every now and then I will actually sit on one which is quite painful.

Sorry to be somewhat graphic, but you asked for a reasonable answer.

Seriously, which part of what I just described sounds like something to brag about?

The banana has to commit to either right or left, but can the kiwis split the difference down the middle? :shrug:

They can.

Bake

This should be one of those NBC "The More You Know" public service announcements. :)

...and see if they EVER get sat on. Maybe once. Never twice.

have enough trouble dealing with my own parts...

Thank you, though to Throd for the direct answer. It DOES seem like they would often get in the way-- hence my curiosity.

We learn early on to do what's necessary to alleviate a conflict, because they allow no quarter.

To make sure I don't exceed any limitations when it has to be there overnight.

I'm thinking that the hirsute area of which you speak would not at all enjoy the idea of being held in place with packing tape.

You adjust my package and I'll adjust yours.

Deal?

:shrug:

RL

sometimes when we walk or sit, things get a bit ...uh.. twisted or go the wrong way. Sometimes they get sweaty too.

It's really not easy to explain.

they wouldn't have that problem. :evilgrin:

...especially when Craftygal is up to her tricks.

:rofl:

Bake

He has to wear whitie-tightys for support for his balls.

He said that he does not understand why guys wear tight jeans because it would be painful for him.


=========SUBJECT CHANGE==========
Note to the ladies: If you have to adjust your bra constantly, you need to be fitted properly. A well fitting bra should not ride up and bind.

Measure your rib cage at the bottom of your boobs. Snugly but not tightly. That is your band size--the number. Then measure around the fullest part of the boob. The difference in inches tells you your cup size. I'm not sure what the formula is. You can probably find it on line. Various brands fit differently.

Example: I'm a 42B, which is a very difficult size to find. The manufacturers assume that if a woman has large ribs, she must be large in the cup. Not true.

Some packages are bigger and "bulkier" than others. Depending how their "wrapped" and the speed of transport, the contents may shift, requiring constant or the occasional adjustment.

So please, ladies, give us a little leeway on this.

1. The blockn'tackle tend to sway back and forth. The bigger the worser.
2. We're not going to use superglue to keep it in place.
3. You know how Robert Plant got his trademark vocals? Well, what he did to his olives is something we're not going to do to ours.
4. We do it to impress you lot. :P

:shrug:





I apologize in advance if this gets locked


:rofl:


:hi:


lost

:rofl:

:D

No, really. I did guffaw over this one. I want to know the answer to that, too.

Seriously, if you had a package, you would understand.

I want that championship this year and there is no Avenging Finn standing in my way

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I think FDS for Men is not the worst idea I've ever heard. :D

Same thing.

:spray:

and I didn't hear what you said.

:freak:

:D

three different continents. I'm still trying to figure out why Swiss underwear has two flies opening to either side and Brazillain underwear has no fly at all.





My husband prefers not to discuss this.

When I am in bed trying to sleep.
During the day, oddly enough I have no problems...

and having them stick to your thighs.

And don't even get me started on jock itch.

He told her, "No, you broke yours off. You ain't touching mine!" :rofl:

x(

Seriously can't you just tuck it in there and leave it alone for the rest of the day??

especially when working with power tools, and wearing a tool belt..

I've known more than one actually.

Disturbing.

...or the other for too long. Hence, I have to shift it. Can't speak for others.

When things get twisty and pressure is being applied to bad places it's almost a reflex.

When the boys are askew an immediate remedy is required. Most civilized men will try to be discreet, but given the choice of discretion or collapsing on the floor in a fetal position and whimpering, we'll handle up.

It's bothersome. And it's really uncomfortable when you sit on it.

Like a bra for your package

The Boys were meant to swing free.

Bake

nuff said.

Maybe that's why you don't like Rush - you're scratching your 'brains' all the time.

I'm gonna have to remember that one....:rofl:

They're called briefs. And even when you're wearing briefs, the package still goes out of place when you're moving around.

:eyes:

Like in this example:


Oh, wait. Oh, dear. I guess that's not what you meant, is it?

You stand up, sit down, walk around, and sometimes things down there get folded, bound up, or twisted - thus requiring "adjustment" to restore order.

Wait, what?

O8)

And other times it is in a place that will become an unpleasant kink when we sit

You decide.
