Having a VPL is somewhat a confidence builder. At least it is for me, or I would not have any in my photo gallery.
I always go commando in shorts and sweatpants. Way more comfortable, I'm not a large guy.
I have tossed shorts or sweat pants out because they are to tight looking and I'm embarrassed to be wearin them around certain neighbors or even my mother!
A snug fit or well defined VPL is cool. But if things are to tight or put out there to much it just becomes gross. Much like guys wearing spandex shorts with there shirts tucked in- WTF!
To be honest the guys i have seen that are wearing shorts to tight and bouncing around when they shouldn't be are not usually the kind of people I would WANT to associate with.
