I have seen this going around - do you agree with him?

I think I do, I really don't understand the current trend of ridiculously small shorts shoved right into arse cracks and bandeau bras for working out.

I go to the gym 2/3 times a week and feel no need to dress like this.

Or, are they just 'dressing for themselves?'

I’m sure it is common.
but I’m not a man
even if I was male, I think the views would still stand.

Your views are disgusting and disturbing.

I suggest everyone ignores this poster. Some people get off on the attention of centring themselves on a women’s forum and saying inappropriate things. 🤢

It’s common for men to pretend to be women on here, it’s happened quite often.

I just told you I’m a straight woman.

I understand biology.

If you say you're not a man, then clearly you know shit men. They are not all plagued by constant wanton erections.

Nobody gives a shit about thoughts, Winston Smith. Think what you like. But keep pervy, lecherous and intrusive behaviour to yourself. If you can't do that, stay home. You're far more of a menace to society than a pair of stupid looking leggings.

I think you do stay home, though, because nobody who's ever spent a minute in a gym would think people don't do seated exercises or sit to take rest stops there.

Scrunch bum leggings were made to make yo it bum look so big that it makes your leggings stretch.

The unintended effect of the scrunch in the butt crack is that it looks like an anus

I'm not personally convinced it's an anal porn thing, more about the general big bum/thick trend but I'm not expert

You can tell how ugly and bad in bed he is from his awful post. Theres genuinely nothing some people wouldn’t blame on women.

So you don't think the leggings I posted a photo of earlier are made to mimic gaping?

Really 🤔

SocksAndTheCity · 26/04/2024 20:05

I know what gaping is, @LaurieFairyCake , I'm an adult (and one who has had a lot of sex, anal included).

I would wonder about anybody who thinks that a pair of mass market leggings or shorts have been specifically designed to mimic the (pretty niche) effect, rather than just emphasise the shape of the wearers arse.

Obviously those thong shorts are revolting and are clearly made to draw attention to a naked bum

Once again I'm being accused of being into anal porn Grin (I don't watch porn ever)

Instead I'm a relationship therapist and anal porn is a big thing - literally a big thing (fnar fnar) a big problem. And those leggings are meant to look like gaping.

I warn you not to google.

You have massive issues if you think it’s appropriate for a man to continue doing weights or whatever with an erection.

I have already said it’s normal to notice people, but it’s a choice to continue to look and stare.

You’re a woman you say. 🤔

Must be awful in day to day life for the mens - women in supermarket bending down to get something off the bottom(oh eh Mrs) shelf -boing! Woman in park bending down to give her toddler a kiss - boing! Old lady bending down to pat a dog - boing - I mean all those filthy temptresses out there making them have an erection - I do think staying at home, furiously wanking to Les Mills online might be better for the poor lambs

You might think it gross, but there is no law against looking at people and no law about a concealed erection. Both of which could be involuntary actually - difficult to “look” anywhere if you’re on a machine and facing gym goers who are scantily clad. Erection is physiological response isn’t it?

Show quote history

If it happened to a decent man, they would sit down, look elsewhere and think about something boring. They would most likely feel a bit mortified.

Men that go online to blame women for their lack of control are creepy bastards. Saying these women are basically inviting them to gaze in a sexual manner is creepy. It’s AKWAYS a choice to stare at someone because it’s easy to look away.

I involuntarily stare at bums all day long. So I feel their pain. Perhaps all the erections have compromised their brain function such that averting their eyes becomes impossible. The poor lambs.

Ahh but do you wear anal porn bumhole shorts?

Show quote history

sadly not - just bog standard 3/4 length leggings (tight mind!) with pockets!!!

I do wear a vest that shows my ample sports bra though - like a wanton harlot

Klwp · 26/04/2024 19:15

Kinshipug · 26/04/2024 19:00

Erm. No. Men are absolutely not entitled to look at women and get erections in public places.
If they lack this self control, they need to stay at home please. Gross.

People on beaches are rarely sticking their arses out doing squats

Show quote history

Grown men can absolutely control their erections. If they haven’t learnt to, they should stay home. Not being able to see a woman doing squats at the gym without getting an erection is laughable. Creepy bastards who probably last 3 seconds in the sack. Sad losers.

ghostyslovesheets · 26/04/2024 19:13

Oh we are back to bum fun again

I was working out yesterday in the free weights section with 3 20 something athletically built males - no not staring, actually asking them if they had finished as I needed a bench - I managed to contain me non existent fanny gallops and did try to pick them up
