Men with hands down the front of their trousers

Am I being unreasonable in thinking this is absolutely disgusting and unhygienic. I keep seeing young men out in public with one hand inside their trousers and very obviously on their dicks. My husband thinks it’s disgusting too and I rate his opinion.

I’d bet they aren’t wearing a top either
And wondering around town with a woman pushing a buggy, with child slugging a coke.

I know it’s not PC, but I’d bet a lot on it

I don’t think you need your husband to confirm this is grim. Of course it is

This!!

Well if a man has clarified…

Voted YANBU ...& now I'm wondering who on earth the 7% who voted YABU are. I can't imagine young, male public dick fiddlers frequent Mumsnet; maybe it's their mums! 😆

I don’t really observe this behaviour

I don’t need my husband to confirm my thought process. My point was that it’s not just a female viewpoint that isn’t disgusting. A man has clarified that it’s unacceptable. I don’t know any man that would think this is ok.

Yes I've noticed an increase in this gross behaviour. Clearly playing with their dick right in front of everyone. Would love to be brave enough to ask why. But it does seem oddly threatening.

It’s horrible and completely unacceptable. I am in a client facing role and challenge it when I see it.

BCBird · 14/06/2025 15:46

I agree. My friend and I used to say under our breath, ' it's still there '. Vile behaviour and can be threatening too.
