Not a sex thread, I promise! But this is a Speedo bulge question.
Look at this picture. No, not at Regis. Look at the blue bits.

This is for science, men, so go ahead and look without shame. I'm not understanding the physics here. Or rather the physiognomy. Is the pointy point pointing at the front of the blue speedos there the point I'm thinking it is? I mean, if that's his point, I would think he wouldn't want to point it out on television. Or am I unaware of how such apparel wears from the inside?

Disclaimer: I wear trunks at the beach. I wear boxers underneath slacks. I go sans culottes when I wear jeans.

I rarely wear tighty whiteys and it's been many many many summers since I wore those Frenchy style swimming briefs. I was a kid then and not too concerned with display of packagery. But let's get back to the blue point. Or rather back to the seeming lack thereof.

Based on what I know from those few times that I do wear a pair of tighty whiteys, I tuck down (just a bit to the left during the primary season, but straight down the center after the convention). I'm looking at the display on display in that photo and it appears to me that the gentleman on the right isn't tucking at all--and that even if he wanted to tuck it down, he would lack the physical length to tuck it down.

I know about shrinkage, but that only happens to me when I've been swimming or bathing. Normally it's normal, not shrunk up from being in the water or from being really cold. I've noticed this little stub point look before among body builders who wear these types of speedos and it often appears to me that they are less than normally endowed. He doesn't look like he's been swimming or snow skiing--and if anything the hot studio lights ought to allow him a full normal appearance.

So my question is this: What's going on in this guy's pants? Is that point really the stubby end that it appears to be? Or is that point actually the mid-arch of a semi-hardened presentation that sometimes occurs in the presense of a topless Regis Phibin? Do body builders take supplements that would cause such extreme shrinkage? I once heard a rumor about Sly Stallone's post-Rocky impairments (which might account for his later turn to Republicanism) that would confirm the notion that body building can have a derisive affect on length, circumference, and performance. Or is something else happening in the man's stuffage to give his presentation that particular shape?

Again, my experience is limited to my own BVDs and the rare unavoidable glance in the locker room, but I don't think a man would normally hang that way. Inquiring minds want to know: Where's it gone to, why's it gone, or at least where's he puttin the rest of it?


(NB: In case you didn't pick up on the meaning of all that, I'm talking about the dude's penis)

2. My guess would be that it's situated pointing "up"...
because that tends at least to minimise the effect of any awkward stimulation (a sudden tumescence in the six o'clock position would, it seems, be both quite uncomfortable and much more glaringly obvious, one imagines).

4. Dunno
Personal experience goes like this; the dingle dangles. The shorts, trousers, boxers, tightie whities get pulled up into position and it is what it is. There is no tucking, folding or arranging of the package, that comes later, sans culottes.

Popeye said it best "I yam what I yam"


Two cousins from the old country move to a big US city. They have little money so agree to share a room in a basement apartment. Though times are slim they resolve to have one night a week to visit a club and dance with the ladies. Lech notices that his cousin Vlad has a great deal more success with the ladies than he and upon arriving home one night questions him about his "secret weapon."

"Vlad, for months now we go to the dance and the ladies are always with you, sometimes they come from across the room to ask YOU to dance with THEM. Me, I ask for a dance, sometimes yes sometimes no, it's pleasant to dance but week after week of watching you thrusting and grinding, ass grabbing and moaning on the dance floor I must ask, what is your secret."

Vlad considered this request to cut his sporting opportunities in half by the sharing of his hard won secret before answering. "Lech, if there weren't so many ladies to choose from I would not tell you this but the next time we go to the club stuff a potato down your briefs."

Saturday night came and went and the cousins returned home. "Vlad" said Lech, "since coming to this country I've never a worse experience, girls would see me coming and would run away. I would see them in groups whispering and pointing at my trousers but when I approached they would run away shrieking.
I used the potato as you said but it only made things worse....much worse, what did I do wrong."

"Lech" said Vlad, "next time put the potato down the FRONT of your briefs."

8. I think it has something to do with you wanting to holler out
a lewd song in the middle of a bar, and the good chance that I'd be in that bar. :hi: Hey, did you see that Our Friend in the Maine forum addressed me directly? So flattering.

11. Okay... it's up to a democratic administration and congress

12. In the case of Liddy, I think Hillary's anti flag desecration law would cover it.
My god, something needs to cover it. In fact, it kinda looks like Vlad's finally got that potato thing right.
