I have been made aware of it a few different times in my life. I want to say tho that size of bulge and size of equipment don't necessarily coincide, its more about how it can lay.
Guys with lower hanging nuts and a longer dick can look unimpressive but a guy with a much shorter dick and high and tight nust sack could poke out and be impressive looking with clothes on.
One thing I learned early on is that it is more apparent to others than yourself. My friends told me lat in high school that they had discussed my bulge as far back as Jr High.
I point up as much as I can because I have higher nuts and I just don't like the straight out position I end up in if things start out lare then shrink for a bit then lengthen out again.
as a wrestler you notice people glancing at your crotch quiet a bit, but what can you expect, you are kind of on display. We all knew the girls came to wrestling meets just to rate or rank us, we just rarely found out our ranking with the exception of the action we got kind of telling us they were impressed enough to want to see it in person and uncovered.
One of the memorable things was I had carried a pair of shorts in an easily accesable pocket on my back pack to take them home and wash them. Well in the last class of the day an older chic spotted them, grabbed them out and held them up with a few other girls.
She handed them back to me saying "just wanted to see if your shorts were permanently stretch out". Then glancing at my crotch to see what was showing then.
In wrestling I always wore a jock and pointed my dick up to the side so the outward bulge was somewhat minimized. But the whole outline was still visible.
We all worked on how our bulge looked as we got dressed to wrestle each match, but it ususally moves around from the perfect bulge alignment as you wrestle. Many small looking boners were just when our dicks got caught in a straight out position, even soft it stretched the singlet outward.
One of the most recent acknowledgements was the lady I am seeing now. She makes a point to tell me which underwear and short combinations she likes to see me in. Just recently I had showed at the locker room before going to see her. I had to grab a pair of underwear ot of the clean laundrey cart. They were Aeropostale boxerbriefs one of the guys had tossed in to get laundered or just left in the locker room. They had a bit more room and a stitch in the bottom of the poich to give a bit of forward pull that kept all my stuff at the forefront. I initially wore them to her house in with practice shorts, which really bulged. Then she picked out a pair of my kakis to wear out that I know are a bit snug in that area. basically dressing me to optimize my bulge. Making it apparent she hoticed it and wanted to flaunt she was with someone who had one.
She is very gropy, always grabbing my package even out in public if she thinks she can get in an useen grag.
