hawl: [quote author=emilywee link=board=clothing;num=1034391585;start=40#52 date=05/21/03 at 18:19:04]this hanging down the leg thing has been a discussion for some time, and i've added my 2 cents along the way. but now i realize that so much of it is our society's double standards towards men revealing their assets in comparison to women.
i think men who "show" through their pants is totally sexy, and i can't wait for it to become the next fashion statement (sometimes i think it is beginning to). i think walking around with a big hard on is another issue and going overboard, but if a guy is hung why can't he show it off just like a woman with big boobs? i think the extra baggy pants are played out and would love to see more guys in tight jeans and thin stretchy fabrics like polyester and light wools.
do others agree or think this will ever happen?
-emster[/quote] "The next fashion statement"? Will being an alumnus of this board be a typical credential on future runways? Finally, my height is not an obstacle?! Just had to point out what a hot post this was. She hasn't posted in a while, but I recommend her old posts to any het male newcomers. I miss the wee one. The baggy pants look, and all the "gangsta" look, has been played out for years. Most of it was lame to begin with. Not to trot out the Frank White credentials, but I speak as someone who listened to Schoolly D back when that was called "hardcore" rap and not "hip-hop". O.K., I'll admit that, as Dennis Miller has pointed out, especially for young guys whose hormones may still be set on "turbo", loose-fitting pants can be a welcome relief, useful for hiding any activity up to and including the movements of a small dog. Hiding swingage, swayage, and erectage would not be a concern if it was just me and the wee, but plenty of guys, children, easily startled pets etc. walk this earth as well. As a het, I can't say I like noticing a conspicuous male package. What am I supposed to say, "Brotha-man, glad to see a kinsman representing"? So I have a bit of a personal paradox. I don't exactly wake up wondering how I can best hide from the XX's today the fact that I have a large "woman-pleaser" (sorry, had to use that term in a sentence). I love throwing it in your faces ladies, but I can't always get away with it, and you may not want me to, especially if you're sitting around with your 10 year old niece. Of course, no one worries about a 10 year old boy being traumatized by watching Baywatch or seeing a stacked woman at a beach. Our American culture has gone overboard in fighting the "battle of the bulge". With all the taken-for-granted discusssion of breasts, the male package is so taboo. I think we at this board need only view an Ed Powers video to get some perspective on the reason for this. He always says that he is "small", but he is working in porn, and doesn't have some serious condition like "micro-penis". I suspect when we think of the average mortal male, we should think of him, and not a typical porn worker, blandly "normal" as they may seem to some of us. Most guys have "one-fisters" and are not happy about it. The taboo on discussion leads to the admitted ignorance we have and try to rectify on this board. Basic information like penis size range, condom size info., etc. is shrouded in mystery, ignorance, and urban as well as rural legends. Anyway, I'm rambling way off from my original intent. Let's just take a moment to reread the immortal words of the wee.
