Hi Rand,
I guess it depends on where you are and how you feel about folks checking you out. At work, it maybe too much. As a teacher, any bulge is problematic for me, but in socila settings with friends or just out I usually don't mind, and show as you do. "? But, people may look, and girls might gigle, etc. It's really up to you how comfortable you are with how other people might react.
For many of us here wearing non-loose jeans will result in a bulge of some sort. I generally don't like my jeans loose, so just deal with reactions. I don't really care if people look, etc., however, some folks might think you have something stuffed in your pants, which can result in people treating you like your a weirdo. Anyway, I think you should dress as you like, in general. Certainly, women show plenty, so I perfer to resist the double standard.
Good luck,
Jack
