Wearing Shorts.

just to kinda introduce myself to the board, im 24.m.and i am new to the board...my problem is when im flacid im still 5" and when i wear basketball shorts, etc, my penis sticks out ..not like an erection , but you can see pretty much the entire outline of my penis, and im not the biggest of the bunch but it still sticks out and is very easly visable..i play basketball all the time, and in pick up games it not usually a big deal because i can wear baggy shirts and not too many ppl notice it, but i have even had guys say put that thing away, and even was accused of having an erection on the court.....Ive tried wearing really tight undies which hurts and is uncomfotable, and im more relaxed in boxers briefs..but is there any thing i can get or anything to buy like specific underwear for those with a larger flacid penis.? thanks in advance

thanks for the input..i think im going to experment with diffrent types of underwear..

Read through this section. There are a lot of ideas for you.

I can understand what you mean. This summer I was out running and was just wearing boxers under my shorts and ran by some kids and heard the word commando right after I passed them. I'm about 4-5" soft, so a bit smaller than you, but boxer briefs have been my activewear of choice. I think there were a lot of good suggestions in the Jogging thread a little lower on this board. (This was actually related to my story above...surprised to see its still around)

thanks again..i have been just wearing boxer briefs for comfort..but i have not tried any other style of undies...i just noticed that when i wear dress slacks it the same dilema..but with dress slacks i can get away with wearing tight boxers, and just paying for it in comfort

A comfortable jock will give a bit (try 2Xist or Calvin Klein's Pro Stretch) and will not hide everything, but will make it a little more managable. (Un)fortunately. being a shower means that your penis shows in a lot of situtations while it is still soft.

Hey guys .....I am 40 years old....and I realize that you younger guys all wear boxers or go commando all the time. Then you will go around wondering what you can do to keep your stuff from showing. It's not that hard to figure out. Wear something that gives you support. Last time I checked, all dept stores carried more than just boxers..spend some money and find something that helps with your "hanging out" problems.
:p

There are comfortable jock-underwear supports that will somewhat minimize but I dont see why you want to hide the fact that you have a penis.
Im not suggesting you flaunt it or accentuate it but you have a penis that hangs 5 soft and that is a fact. It will show and so does mine. We are guys.
Just ignore the comments.

Well stated

How old were they? I bet they were middle schoolers... probably from Dawes...

I have tried various underwear and the deciding factor generally is what I'm wearing... pants, shorts, jeans... and where I'm going. Sometimes I don't care. You'll have to try different fabrics too. Silk, cotton, light cotton, heavy cotton -- although that option can be sweaty. Be prepared to spend a little bit of money. And use a little bit extra fabric softener in the wash. Comfort is state of mind. good luck.

When did men become so afraid of anyone noticing that they have genitalia? I mean really, why is everyone so afraid of being male?

Well... unless you suffer from IPS most men are going to show a little bit anyway. I agree, Kink. Men have penises. They protrude from the body. That's they way we are made. I just think that some larger men maybe feel embarassed to show as much as they do. Some don't care. Some may feel that all anyone sees when they look at them is a big bulge/penis. Having said that, this is also why LPSG exists. :D

the long shorts style is a good thing. I remember growing up and having to wear the high rider style of shorts in gym class and sports like soccer and basketball. Spilled out of my jock a few times in practice. Lycra shorts under my shorts were a must
