I'm seeing Wogans everywhere Grin

This period drama I'm watching has the buttoned Georgian trousers with loose pants (or no pants) underneath. You can see the outline of cock and balls in every shot.

There must have been a lot more visible cock in those times.

Disclaimer: ovulating

Had pants not been invented in Georgian times? Shock

You can't post something like that without telling us where to look what you're watching!

It's a trashy Kate Beckinsale vehicle on Netflix, "Love and Friendship"

So much cock outline

Todger is a great word.


However YAVVVVVU to have put the thought of the Wogan trouser snake into my mind. Ugh.

I always thought those trousers were nappy-like rendering genital identification impossible?! I think we need some photographic proof?

The 1995 Pride and Prejudice is also quite good for this. Especially the final episode.

It's a shame really, all that curtsying and bowing and chaperones and properness, juxtaposed with visible penisitude.

We need a historian to come on and affirm this. Blah blah, yes no pants, genitalia on display in trousers.

It's either that or the wardrobe mistress involved was horny that day

#Penisitude Is the best thing I've ever heard!

I actually think that there's a fair bit of that about now! If you look... you can see the outline with guys all the time, particularly in tracksuit bottoms.

I say bring back Prince Albert Piercings to save my modesty :P

According to Aiden Turner (back of last week's Radio Times), they didn't wear anything like pants under their breeches, instead they wrapped their long undershirt "around and under"

This has cheered me right up. My husband asked me what I was tittering at so I read him the op.

"Woah woah Woah, what does she mean by wogans everywhere?"

So I showed him and he couldn't believe Sir Tel's appendage "God that man had length"

Late Georgian (Regency) male pantaloon trousers were knitted and stretchy and showed everything, and were often worn with short cutaway military-style jackets so you could cop a better look which emphasised the thighs and arse. They were designed to emulate the lines of male Classical statuary, so clothing was very fitted to show off cock, balls and butt muscles. Women's clothing (also copying Classical styles) could be even more revealing.....

Now you mention it, I've been meaning to watch Love and Friendship. Apparently it's very good and funny treatment of the original Austen and Kate B is excellent.

But I need you to promise that Stephen Fry has some proper pants on, or a longer coat. National Treasure or not, nobody apart from his husband needs to see that.
