I can see their willies. Is it not the male equivalent of camel toe? I hate it in the same way as women wearing leggings as trousers.

But they are better than a shell suit Wink

yanbu at all Grin

i threw dhs away within weeks of getting with him Grin

My gay friend loves them. He squeaks in delight at big chavvy cock. It's RANK.

WooWooOwl · 15/08/2014 10:20

My DH has a pair that he changes into after work for just hanging round the house.

I can cope with the willy on show, it's the elasticated ankles I hate. Clothes should never have elastic at the ankles.

xvxvxv Grin at Big Chavvy Cock!

ClockWatchingLady · 15/08/2014 11:12

I need a picture to make this judgment, OP (not of a big chavvy cock though)...

Maisyblue · 15/08/2014 11:15

I hate them too, they always seem to look dirty and smelly.

I agree maisy I don't know why but I always imagine they will smell of wee.

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/08/2014 11:30

Yes, it's as if you can't believe someone would actually wear them so you imagine they pulled them out the bottom of the laundry basket because they haven't done their washing yet. And they have been there days covered in BO and sweat and filth covered clothes

Notso · 15/08/2014 11:30

All the ones I see wearing them have their hands shoved down the front. I've never noticed a cock will look more closely in future

They are an ugly item of clothing, as are vests. Loads of those big shouldered orange tanned men in a theme park the other day sporting the grey jogger and vest combo.
The other adult males were either shirt, skinny jeans and hipster beard or anorak and backpack sensible Dads.

DH obviously looked hot and superior Grin

BucktoothedGirlinLuxembourg · 15/08/2014 11:30

They are disgusting. Thankfully, DH would never be seen dead in a pair

Fairenuff · 15/08/2014 11:35

Don't like them personally but not sure about the objections to outline of body shape. Many women have clearly visible bumps on their chests, even when completely covered by clothes. How is this ok for them but not ok for men?

aprilanne · 15/08/2014 11:38

my husband would not be seen dead in them .but my eldest two sons .early twenties love them .god they are awfull .even there girlfriends protest at them wearing the bloody things .god in years to come i hope they realise how awfull they are .

Notso · 15/08/2014 11:39

I'm not sure camel toe which is the equivalent is OK for women Fairenuff

Fairenuff · 15/08/2014 11:45

It's not just camel toe though is it, it is body shape.

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/08/2014 11:47

I'd say it was equivilant to camel toe too tbh.

If it was body shape you would see it in all other types of clothing but you don't apart from cycling shorts

Fairenuff · 15/08/2014 11:50

No, what I mean is that some posters are protesting on the grounds that you can see the outline of the man's penis, which is just a part of his body and that many female clothes show the outline of women's body but no-one objects to that.

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/08/2014 11:54

Clothes show the outline of men and women's bodies regardless of whether the penis shows or not.

No one is objecting To seeing a mans body.

But a woman wouldn't go out in clothes framing her genitals (camel toe) so it's confusing as to why a man would (make camel toe equivalent)

Fairenuff · 15/08/2014 11:56

It's not 'framing' his genitals, though is it. It is more like a bump. Tight leggings would be framing, or similar and comparable to camel toe.

Notso · 15/08/2014 11:57

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that Fairenuff

IScreamForIceCream · 15/08/2014 11:59

Is it the actual jogging trouser that shows the outline, or the fact that pants are often not worn underneath.

Fairenuff - you make a v good point re body outline. Hmm. I'd equate it to the chat over bras - whether it is decent/professional etc to show a nippular outline if not wearing a padded bra.

PenisesAreNotPink · 15/08/2014 11:59

Yes, I also think it's about displaying the cock and balls to draw attention to the shape.

We have indecency laws that apply to cocks and not women's body shapes though so I'd rather we did without the cock display as it seems aggressive/indecent.

Gileswithachainsaw · 15/08/2014 12:00

Depends how they are worn.

Some kind of walk around with their hands in the pockets pulling them tighter over everything.

Or wear them really low.

Very few seem to wear them normally so as to jut have a subtle bump.
