Men: What do you do?

Post by Englishman116 » May 20th, 2008, 9:05 pm

Rowing shorts/compression shorts are quite aggrevating on the erg/water. To say it bluntly: what do you with your unit? You can't really keep everything hanging down, but pushing everything above the legs isn't comfortable either. You're kind of screwed either way. Does anyone else have this problem? And if so, what do you do about it?

I put it over my thigh and let it hang down the other side

It seems that I'm just the opposite of young Carl and I can't understand why anyone else has a problem. I have been blessed with one of the world's smallest wieners and it never gets in the way, unless of course I'm in the presence of a beautiful woman or start thinking about a beautiful woman, then things can get problematic.

Try thinking about something or someone other than a beautiful woman. James Carville has sometimes worked for me:

I thought this was another thread for unsubstantiated claims of grandeur?

It might be. But in this case we don't want anybody posting pictures as proof to support their claims!

BTW, Rick's post was one of the funniest I've read in a while.

Cheers,
