To think it should be mandatory that dogs wear shorts to cover their genitals in public?

I love dogs. There's a dalmatian near me that brings me true joy during the school run 🥰

But now that I've admired your dog from my car, got my dopamine hit, I am now faced with the task of avoiding glancing at its testicles and therefore being mildly grossed out during the rest of my journey.

In 2025, I shouldn't be forced to see a dogs genitals!

Time to introduce 'dog boxer shorts' so I can go about my day in peace! Someone needs to get onto Kier Starmer, honestly.

If any animal needs it's bits covering, it is the cat.
I used to have cats, and would sometimes be woken up by a feline bum hole being shoved in my face.
You can get butthole jewellery for cats. A little chain that goes around their tail base, with a lovely gem over their arsehole.

I would post a link, but I don't want my partner having a browse of my internet search history as inspiration for Christmas gifts. We don't even have a cat 😂

I think it is meant to be light-hearted.
Although when you see some of dog hating threads on here, you do wonder.

Doesn't bother me. But some dogs seem to have huge plums. Intact male dachshunds always seem to have a pair that are way out of proportion to their body.

Pet rats however. I always had females as the boys had huge nads and I hated the feel of them.

Even more obvious if their gait causes swinging at their resonant frequency.

…yes, I used to have a dachshund.

Take my money! I have a long haired breed, who unfortunately has alopecia. She wears a fleece jumper to keep her warm but it doesn’t cover her bum. She gets proper spooked on a breezy day by a cold gust on her bare buttocks. I think she’d really appreciate a pair of long johns. No doubt the neighbours already assume I’m bonkers so…

Aww bless her 😭

I’m sure I heard about a study which showed men and women pictures of different dogs and the men were very drawn to looking at their genitals but the women weren’t. I can’t find it now so I may have dreamt it, but I’m sure I heard it on the QI podcast 🤔

While looking for it I found out that someone won an Ig Nobel Prize in 2005 for inventing Neuticles* *- silicone testicle replacements for neutered dogs whose owners want them to appear more “virile”. Is there a chance that the Dalmatian might be sporting a pair of XL Neuticles at his owner’s request??

Omg one time I was on twitter and is saw a video of this podcast man absentmindedly masturbating his dog! No word of a lie!

But nothing happened to him 🤷‍♀️

I hadn't really thought about balls but I really do hate dog's visible bumholes. Huskies, pugs, oh no, yuk. Especially when you see their owner carrying a bag of shit. Shitty bumhole right there🤑

I hate looking at dcat after shes pooped 😭 i just think 'how much poop residue is there'

These exist. Some bitches bleed a lot, so some owners will use dog hygiene pants to stop it getting everywhere.

I’m sure I heard David Attenborough once say the only animal to menstruate apart from humans is the gorilla.

Is it just intact male dogs then? Do you take issue with female dogs? Would they need to wear knickers rather than boxers? What about neutered males - no testicles, but still liable to get the lipstick out on occasion?

😂😂😂😂

CheeseIsMyIdol · 22/11/2025 15:29

They shouldn’t have testicles because they should be neutered.
