"... *When buying dress pants for work, or a suit, I always check out if my bulge shows before anything else. *Some do, some don't..."

... I just don't like showing it at work. *I kind of feel like a lot of guys feel the same - I work with a whole lot of men, all dressed in business stuff, and just never see a hint of a bulge in any of them." *

I guess the bottom line for me is I do envy those that have the "balls" to show off what they have day in and day out."

Josh,


I did want to qualify that I too, am not an exhibitionist per se. I have accepted however, that there's only so much I can do to "hide the fact"; remain decent in the workplace, but even more importantly --stay comfortable.

BTW....my typical flaccid size is the same as yours...sometimes even a bit more. So you and I CAN relate to that point in what we are dealing with!
(THERE! --I ENDED MY SENTENCE IN A PREPOSTION, TOO!)

I had to chuckle at your comment toward the end about "having the balls to show off, etc." I haven't always been that brave! --And, I certainly don't like to look upon it as "showing off" although I won't deny I'm happy about my size. ;) I merely grew tired of worrying about trying to hide it. I wasn't always successful anyway and those around the office who really knew me (or, had detected a hint of my size ---well, who was I kidding? I was wasting time and valuable mental energy being uptight about it....that's all.

In selecting slacks, of course you know pleats help hide the bulging..."flat-front" slacks (which are becoming more in vogue now!) do not. You know to stay away from lighter color fabrics, too---creams, whites, tans, and grays. I learned this by trial and error---way before the lpsg!

I'm glad you (and gio) enjoy this forum. It is a great place to "hang around" and share and learn from our mutual experiences. The one thing each of us eventually must come to terms with however, is we can't help (for the most part) who we are or how we're made when it comes to our respective sizes. We have to make the best of what we have and enjoy our lives.

and, josh--btw.....regarding the other men in the office.
I think you still could be (like I was at one time) somewhat in disbelief that you are of exceptional size there in your workplace! Staying around here in the lpsg, it's so easy to think the whole world hangs huge.
Truth is...that's NOT the case.... at all.
You probably are "the rarity" there in your office!
You rascal! ;D
