The Wank Sock. A True Thing, or an Urban Myth?

[HirplesWithHaggis]

Chatting this afternoon, the topic of the Wank Sock arose. I have young adult sons in their 20's, my friend has an 18yo boy. While they all do their own laundry these days, my friend and I recall the days of the balled-up socks randomly distributed around the room, which we just chucked into the washing machine and unballed when clean, for fear of, well... biological samples tbh. And I don't mean snot.

But realistically, how would one use a wank sock? Would it be placed upon the member like an overgrown, ill-fitting condom, or just used to catch flying fish? If the former, wouldn't rubbing yer delicate man membranes with trainer-sweaty cotton/wool/polyester/blend of same be a bit sore? I mean, gently caressing with clean silk, I can see a certain frisson there, but teenage boys don't often own silk socks.

If the latter, why socks, specifically? Why not T shirts, underwear, or the more traditional (if less environmentally-friendly) Andrex Man Size? (Other brands and sizes, including pocket,are available.)

AIBU to think the wank sock is no more real than the Tooth Fairy?

(Yes, recent NC, been around for a while though.)

I finally know why we had so many single socks.

And why DS1 seemed to leave them in his room.
Balled up.
And crusty.
I thought he was using them to blow his nose. A lot.

You'd think at my age I'd've caught on pretty much everything. Seems I have, but didn't realise!

I know someone who has a now adult son but when he was a teen still living at home, she would create a little station next to his bed with tissues, lotion of some kind and wet wipes and a special bin she was very open about it being there and why, later into his teens she added a wee box of condoms and lube.
When he moved to uni, she packed it all into a 'care package' and sent it to him, she included some porn mags as well as the regular food/boxers/socks etc.

And since it's just popped into my mind (because it's 3am and I clearly have nothing better to think of) if using a sweaty, used sock off the floor, doesn't it pose risk of giving the user some nasty fungal infection on their bits? Or do they use a freshly laundered sock from the clean drawer?

Any knitters out there thinking of whipping up a wank sock, you'd have to use seed stitch.
And maybe you could do one of these too....

Why? Why did I google the boxers? I wish I could go back in time and undo that.

Absolutely true. Just used to mop up afterwards in my experience.

Just told DP about the cum box and he asked if its like a piggy wank

When I asked about whether it would be uncomfortable to wank with a sock he just looked at me and said any teenage boy who's able to ejaculate will stick his cock in anything.

Thank god I have daughters...

I use a tenga egg on my dh sometimes, he loves it and no mess. Though have to be careful as they break easily and are designed for one use only, but you can resuse them if careful.

So I had to google tenga egg, didn't I? Goodness, whatever will they come up with invent next?

A bit on the dear side for teens though.

I know someone who used to come in the sock yes.

My teens always seems to lose their socks

And well, lets just say some people may remove a teddy bears eyes for this purpose too.

don't ask me how I know

Well I need something to christen my new crochet hooks with.

Was gonna buy DP Disney infinity for his birthday but now he's getting a selection of colourful wank baggies.

Lalalaaa's "wank into a sick" and the wicker basket of muslin cumcloths

I have a teenage DS. I once found a stiff sock STUCK to the wall behind his wardrobe. Honestly, stuck. And stiff as a board. The same DS also had a large Stitch (from lilo and stitch) teddy that developed a hole in its crotch region and was found hidden in the airing cupboard.

My ex-brother (we're pretty much NC for Many Reasons, not only this) came to stay with me and my then DF when he broke up with his fiance six weeks before their wedding.

He moved out about six months later and when DF and I cleared his room up we found most of my missing tea towels (crunchy) and about a dozen milk bottles half-full of a substance that I initially thought to be curdled milk. NOPE (discovered by ex-DF when he went to pour it down the sink to clean the milk bottles to put them out for the milkman). He'd been spunking into them and cleaning up with the tea towels

My eyes! Warning to all DON'T google the boxers...

Urgh, teddybears? Glue? Milk bottles?

Kinda wish I hadn't started this now!

Oooohhh what's a tentative egg?

My Sky Shield for protecting the mini beasts is not letting me see!

Assuming you mean tenga egg, Madame, here is a review which might clarify things...

"I had tried a TENGA egg before, having had one bought for me as a present by my long suffering wife, so I knew what to expect. Being a hopeless romantic, I ordered the heart egg around Valentine's Day, and while it's an excellent product, I have to admit I was more than a little disappointed to find it wasn't black (I also have no idea why this would make a difference).

The egg is well packaged with one of those satisfying little 'tear here' zippy plastic strips, which removes the outer shrinkwrap (which is the point you discover it's not black). Inside the outer wrap is a hard plastic egg shell, which contains the egg and a tiny sachet of lube (about the size of a Pot Noodle sauce sachet).

The egg itself is a wonderful - sensual blob of silicone with a hole in one end (obvious) and no air hole anywhere else. After dropping lube into the egg, you stretch it on and away you go. It's particularly pleasurable if you twist and rotate. Unless you have an amazingly sensitive penis, you would never know the bumps inside were heart shaped, but you can definitely feel them working.

For lube I use Liquid Silk, which works like a treat. As there is no air to dry the lube, the egg stays slippy for a long time. One of the best things about it is that because it has no other holes, it keeps 'everything' in at the end making for an easier clean up.

The blurb for the egg says its a one time thing, being a canny Scotsman I disagree; I quickly wash inside and out (I use anti-bac hand wash), dry it out and pop it back into its shell for next time."

Omg I have teenage sons and am actually gripping reading this

Gipping!

They're probably gripping. Ugh eww barf

Unless you have an amazingly sensitive penis, you would never know the bumps inside were heart shaped

Actually laughed out loud at that.

It's absolutely true.

I found my ex asleep on the front room settee with a sock on his cock and porn on the TV many a time.

I had no issue with him watching it, or having a wank, but took offence to finding hard cardboard socks under the settee when hoovering.

I told my partner about this, and he denied all cock sock knowledge and thought it was odd - he uses a baby wipe to clean up instead.

It does happen and I have heard stories of old tracksuit bottoms being used too.

The thought of wearing something you wanked into seemed odd to me when young and still today when you have tissue/toilet paper which is fine!
