Young men walking around with their hands down the front of their pants

[lolaflores]

Not sure if this is just one of those things Ive begun to notice but recently (last few months) Ive noticed lads in their mid to late teens strolling along with either one or both hands down the front of their pants. Or hands in pockets, but the hands are on their genitals.
One yoyng man was actually clutching his genitals on the outside, cupping them through his jogging bottoms whilst on the phone.
not sure why their doing it, it seems unconcious but it looks bloody odd.
Perhaps as a woman, I don;t understand the need to be in constant ontact with my nethers. Its not a prudishness, it just looks out of place. Do it in the comfort of your front room watching the tv, not sure its appropriate in public.

Hams! Dear God.
Hams are ot the problem
Humans are

Yeah I think it’s a rapper/hip hop emulation that has been taken on as a social message. It’s a display of dominance.

This has been happening for years and it really grosses me out. Asked dh about it who said it was to keep a semi on to look bigger because the joggers are so slack (dh does not do this, just to confirm!) I also find it intimidating and disgusting and if i had more confidence i would probably ask them to stop.. but i dont

DS2 plays cricket with a lad like this. Constant rummaging. Me and DH laugh about it and wonder how he bowls with one hand permanently in his whites.

It's the hygiene element for me first and foremost But actually yes, I do find it sort of.....goady, like they're saying 'go on, say something'. It's not sexual I don't think, just deliberately bad mannered and meant as a bit of a power play. But pathetic really.

I was just about to ask why the trackies are always grey

Not always. There's a bloke I see who wears conker brown bottoms. With a matching sweatshirt (he also has the unfeasibly large thighs which seem to be a thing now).

He looks like he's escaped from prison.

I’ve noticed it’s trackie bottomed chav thing. They are usually skinny and bare chested too.

I think you might live near me 😀

I was waiting for the cash machine last week and a young woman with her boyfriend in the queue in front of me, he stood with his hands tucked inside the front of his joggers and underpants and every now out of corner of my eye you'd see him have a scratch and he then used the same hands to tap all over the cash machine. He stunk of

I used a paper tissue when it got to my turn because I don't want some random man's penis sweat (he stunk of sweat so not unreasonable to assume his balls were just as sweaty) and god knows what else on my hands. Doused them in antibacterial gel too once back at my car too.

I've walked miles before with a very uncomfortable wedgie because I was to embarrassed to pull it out, yet where I live there's young bare chested men openly cupping themselves.

It’s fucking disgusting. Always seem to be wearing tracksuit bottoms too. No excuse for being so revolting and also spreading germs everywhere. Urgh.

I hate this!! Happens a lot in my town unfortunately.
The grey joggers show the outline of the penis too. Horrific

I think it is hiding drugs. But what do I know.

Nothing to do with keeping hands warm
round here, it’s bloody boiling and they still do it. I don’t understand why anyone would want to make physical contact with someone who smells of sweaty knob. How do they get a girlfriend / boyfriend?

I always thought they did it to look like they were carrying a weapon or actually were carrying one.

I really hope young women set their bar a bit higher than getting off with willy fondling slobs that seem to be wandering around the streets of north west london.

Is it that "I've been in prison" kind of a look? Got a shank down by my balls?

I find it as socially unacceptable as spitting

It's a prison chav thing.

Grey trackies and hands down them to protect their drug/weapon stash that they've hidden under their genitals.

Kids trying to look cool/hard.

I think it looks horrible.

But at least it's something for which mothers aren't blamed for setting a poor example

Conker Brown StCharlotte? Sounds...fetching.

Totally agree that it's intimidating and utterly gross.

Angry men perpetrating these awful knife, and other crimes. Haven't heard of a female perpetrator yet. Why is that?

@lolaflores love your description of the boy on the bonnet . Sounds like a distorted version of the hamlet cigar adverts.

I don't think I've seen anyone do this in years.

Air on a G string was most definitely not playing in the background.
I thought...what a waste of a life.
We all squander parts of our lives at that age, but he sat there, day after day. Surveying his kingdom with his cock safely tucked in his hand.
No job. No training. No point. Bloody hell

K1sslt it’s quite the look in a nearby south east seaside town with a big Butlins.
I have no idea why people holiday there.

I'm up north so it must be a popular trend lizzielocket

Dh works in the building trade and says out of the five young lads he has working for them four of them do this and will then touch the tools and equipment 🤮

One offered him a piece of chewing gum and he declined but watched in horror as everyone else accepted and ate the chewy that came from a hand that seconds before hand been cupping a dick.

Attached pic from google, it does look like dominance/intimidation thing. Almost like a "tell me to stop if you dare" stance

My DS tried this when he was a lot younger, we would be watching TV together and DH would nudge me, at which point I would put my hand down my top and cup my boob, and DH would spread his legs and grab his privates................

He soon stopped.
