hawl: [quote author=strate8 link=board=clothing;num=1060163004;start=0#0 date=08/06/03 at 02:34:23]My boyfriend has a bad habit of getting wood at the worst possible moments. He always has to untuck his shirt. Anyone else been faced with that dilema? What do you do?
[/quote]To get back to her original question, I think it's generally agreed here that wearing loose, dark, slacks over briefs is the best solution, and even with that you may need the help of a sweater, jacket, or untucked shirt (or perhaps in some alleged cases a turtleneck, priest's collar, scarf, etc.) The briefs are key. They ruthlessly compress and streamline the beast, and then you throw the pants version of a loose bag over it. The opposite combination, wearing boxers with jeans, can be the most disasterous. Mr. Happy is left unsupervised with plenty of room to explore and play, but at the same time anyone can catch a good glimpse of his frolics. At least for me, wood can come out of the blue with no obvious cause. As with so many things, attitude is important. If you remain collected and don't panic or call attention to it, that can help. Just remember, the situation will pass, unless you have a priapism. People aren't expecting you to be hard, so maybe they will think they're misjudging the situation. Just go about your business and act like nothing is out of the ordinary. "Brass it out!". I don't know about your boyfriend's 8, but my 8 often rests in the vicinity of 5, which is estimated by some to be average erect size anyway. Thus, if someone really stresses the freakin' issue, your boyfriend can just yawn, remain calm, and say "Do I look that excited to you? I'm just always pretty huge.". The old board has a good discussion of hiding stuff. It's one of the threads that first interested me, and I hope I am summarizing its conclusions well.
