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)
