I agree it can be inappropriate at times. I usually try to be discrete in public. But I still get a lot of stares/looks. I am a shower and grower plus I have a very large cut head (like a small apple) and huge balls. Even wearing loose/baggy shorts/pants, I show a very large noticeable bulge. I also have had 2nd inspection at airports.
But sometimes, in adult situations, like bars and clubs, I do like to show off. One of my favorite ways is to wear tight Levi 501's. The jeans with the buttons seem to have a little more room in the crotch plus more give (compared to jeans with zippers).
If you look like you have a "weapon" stuffed in your in your pants, they may not let you into the bar or club. Before I go in I will tuck it under my balls and place my unit, in my ass crack. Once inside I will go to the bathroom and let hang down my leg, in my pants.
One time I was in Olympic Garden (strip club) in Vegas. It was very crowded, I couldn't get into the bathroom right away. And there was nowhere to sit down, standing room only. I'm standing in front of a small club table with a stripper and her client sitting at that table. Another very hot stripper comes up next to me, starts talking to me, touching my arm and standing very close. My cock starts to swell (sill tucked under my balls and laying in my ass crack). I hear behind me, in shocked voice, "OMG" "Look at that guys cock. I can see his head. It's huge" from the stripper sitting behind me. I grab the strippers arm that was touching me and said "I think we better move" and went over to the main bar. Her story for another forum.
Most are cool about if they notice (really some don't). I do love most of the reactions. Most are curious. Occasionally someone will complain and I have been bounced (one of the hazards of being "gifted").
