Motives for showing off

meathose10: Very well put, Icarus! I don't understand why "showing off" seems to be so often considered a negative thing. I'm glad I'm so well hung - and proud. The point about walking around nude with a little dick being just walking around nude , while nude with a big one being automatically considered flaunting is so right on. The negative judgement must be based on feelings of inadequacy. I'm betting if the men with a small penis WERE horse hung they'd be the first to show off. At the gym ,where I am frequently naked, I don't particularly feel I'm perceived as cruel or arrogant when the meat is swinging. I'm most aware of admiration from the less endowed. Seems completely natural to me.

mikeyh9in: My main movitation for showing off is that I'm proud of my body and cock... I LOVE it when guys follow me to the locker room after my workout to see me in the shower.

I love their comments and seeing them get hard is a definite turn on for me.

It's part of my motivation in going to the gym!

dolf: For myself I usually do not make a point to show off. I wear a Speedo swimming and do not mind when somebody looks while I am showering, but I don’t make a point to show it anymore unless somebody else is flaunting theirs. I find that dominance and sometimes tormenting were and are the reasons when I flaunt it. I did not know until college that I was large and have only had a couple of years to enjoy it. For years I did not want anybody to see me naked and would not join in when the other men would talk about how huge and hung they were. Most people could tell that it made me uncomfortable so most of them took that to mean that I was small and I could see the look of enjoyment at my discomfort on their faces. It was not until college that I found out that I was far larger than average and when I came back I made a point to go swimming or to the gym with some of the people I knew. It was a bit late for dominance, as we knew each other fairly well. However it was fun after years of hiding it to see the looks on their faces and their discomfort. A couple of them even went red and changed faster than I had thought possible.

The only person I have never flaunted it in front of is my best friend whom I have known for my whole life. Not only have I known him for 24 years but our parents are now living together and we are practically step brothers. When we go swimming I wear the most modest suit I have and avoid the Speedo. When showering after a swim I shower in the suit and when working out I wait for my shower until I get home when I am with him. When we changed at the pool the first time he may have already heard form mutual friends that I am large, or he may always change at the pool by draping a towel around himself before removing his suit. Either way, when I was ready to change he asked if I was going to put a towel around myself (he knew that I am somewhat homophobic and made reference to that) and ever since then when I am with him I feel compelled to hide it beneath a towel. I am almost positive that he is fairly small and after all the bragging he has done with me does not want me to see what he brags about. With any other man I don’t care how they feel if they see it, but with him it’s somehow different- I feel and obligation to protect his ego. I let him continue bragging about “splitting her open” and such without ever feeling the need to torment him by flaunting my size.

Writing this has got me to thinking why I would feel satisfaction at tormenting some people I know but not him. What makes him special? Do I worry if he sees me it would strain our friendship or that he would think me gay? If only psycho-therapy weren’t so expensive!

biggbenn8: Well, for me.... I go nude, because (get ready folks...)

I HAVE TO SHOWER. (gasp) Yep, thats right, when I go to the gym I usually sweat (and I am a stickler about keeping my foreskin clean), and well- I HAVE to be naked to shower (folks stare and laugh when you shower fully clothed...not sure why, plus I don't get as clean.

At some point the towel simply HAS to come off.

Yes I have a penis. Most men do. They are like assholes, short people, men with mustaches, men with the letter 'e' in their name.....time come in ALL shapes and sizes.

THAT is why I 'show off'. I was raised fortunately t o believe I have 'worth'- I have nothing to fear- only I can make myself feel bad- and NOT other people.


As to low self-esteem, I do understand, my youngest son (who would truly be a welcome 'member' here) is *VERY* self concious about his size. To the point he will hurry to shower when no one is there or shower when he gets home (ugh)....

Being nude in the locker room is not the same as showing off. Do you strut? Do you swagger? Do you swing your your pelvis to make Junior do tricks? Do you purposely work up wood? Removing your towel to enter the shower is not showing off. It would be more conspicuous to leave it on. Dudes, I'm in the locker room at the gym every day. It's perfectly acceptable to be nude there without it being regarded as 'showing off'. 'Showing off' is more in the attitude than in the state of being naked. It's not about the birthday suit ... it's about how you wear it!

Icarus213: Reading this post, I came to realize that most of the guys I personally know who are well endowed are actually quite shy about it and don't like being in public places like locker rooms naked. I think this might have something to do with that- if you are big you are often made to feel like you shouldn't be showing it and drawing attention to yourself, while an average guy wouldn't be made to feel the same way. Some of the replies of lpsg members seem to suggest that.

Yeah, I mean, when I was 17, I sometimes showed it under peer pressure, but I really don't like showing it. And it attracts too much attention.

Td0t: I'm sure I'm not alone when I say... I enjoy feeling attractive. As far as basic human emotional needs, I would place feeling attractive, near if not on the level of feeling loved and appreciated.

One of the major reason why I go to the gym is to hear "you've put on some size" (I have a thin build) or "you're looking good" from one of my "gym friends." As I'm reading what I just wrote, I'm shocked. How could that statement be so shallow, yet so true?

That feeling continues from the gym floor down to the locker room. Those double takes, and passing gazes, makes me feel good about myself and solidifies the pride I take in my body.

bklynbigballs: The thing is, a lot of people take pride in themselves for various reasons and, for the most part, like to show off a little. If you're a good cook, you have lots of dinner parties. If you are strong, you offer to carry stuff for people or roll up your sleeves a lot to show off your biceps. Guys who have nice abs often stretch out a lot so their shirt rides up. Women who have nice breasts, have outfits that show them off. Men who have big dicks take their time getting dressed in the locker room. It's really not that bizarre.

The thing about penis size is that there aren't a lot of opportunities for guys who show off their dicks except for in the locker room. Also, locker rooms tend to be sources of anxiety for many people who don't like to be naked. So there tends to be this crazy dynamic in mens locker rooms. You have all these people who are trying to get changed fast because they hate the competition and then you have all of these guys who are dying to show off what they can't in the "real world." The guys who hate the locker room think that the hung guys showing off are taunting them -- because in their minds everyone is still taunting them in the locker room. The guys who want to show off think they're getting attitude from the smaller guys. It's all fascinating to watch.

ace420: I, like you, have these naturally huge balls. I always hated when guys would stare at them. So, one time I had the girl that I was dating at the time turn my balls into eyeballs. When they stared at my balls, my balls were looking back at them. :D :D :D

bigmike11: I love showing off. My motives? To see people's reactions. I love the looks of disbelief, awe. Part of it is definitely a "alpha male" pack mentality thing ... letting them know I'm the biggest man (in a primitive sense, of course.) I get off on knowing that they're going to fantasize about my dick, and I love knowing that they'll probably remember it for a while and get off on it. And yeah, I guess it does torment some small guys, but I bet deep down they enjoy seeing a big dick too.

But the bottom line is, when you're in a place like a locker room or a washroom, someone is going to see your dick anyway... if you know you can't hide it, why not show it off for everyone to get a good look instead of trying to keep them from seeing it?

this is one of the most insightful...and honest threads on the board.  
I'm not arrogant about my dick...
it is 8"...not the biggest here by any means.
But, i like knowing other people like
to see it...it is hard to not like attention...
for your dick, or for any other part of you, inside
or out.

But i have to be careful.  i get hard if the wind blows,
and if i know somebody is watching, SHWING!
i wish i could be proud to sport a boner in the locker room or public shower....but i havent reached that comfort level.

Icarus213: I view showing off as sort of a present to others around me, when I am in the mood to show off. There aren't hundreds of porn sites featuring big dicks because people don't like seeing them. I think most people enjoy seeing a nice large penis, even if for no other reason than that it just looks sexy and powerful.

SpeedoGuy: I show off a bit because I like trying to catch women sneaking peeks at me. I try to imagine what is going through their minds when they do manage to get a good uninterupted glance at my crotch. Most of them show no expression but occasionally I detect a grin or even a leer.

Its interesting because even when women are carrying on face to face conversations with me their eyes will still dart briefly downwards now and again. I just love it when this happens because its apparently something they can't control unless they deliberately remember to try to avoid.

7x6andchg: I had an experience once where that was "introduced" to me, Speedoguy...and I'm not even that big.

I was talking to a female friend of mine at work on break (it was casual Friday in the summer, so things were warm, and I had shorts on)...and I caught her glancing down every so often. I asked her "What are you looking at?"

She said, "Well, is that what I think it is?"

We were good friends, so I said, "um....that's my dick, yes...."

It was the first (and to my memory, only) time that's happened to me. Uncomfortable? A bit. Arousing? A bit more. But also confounding...but apparently, I was told most of the office females had discovered that I dress to the left in the 3+ years I've been there. The things women don't tell you unless you ask.

It is an interesting thread going here... and to answer the original thread starter, though...I don't show off, I just don't hide.
