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

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. Blush

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. Confused

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.)

Honesty gets me off where many would feel shame. So in a way yes. I am not aroused, if that's what you meant?

Why is it that the only thing you ever post about is your cock, on a predominantly female site?

I've got an 18 yo DS who still lives at home and a 20 yo who comes home at weekends when he can. They have never used "wank socks" to my knowledge. If they have they have binned them, they haven't left them on the floor in their rooms or put them in the laundry baskets. I, very helpfully, put a box of tissues on their bedside tables.

Partner (boarding school) and ex (submariner), have both said this is a thing, specifically in school dorms & on the submarine, both places where there are many men in a small space and they don't want to be noticed or caught in the act.

Not to be used during the act, simply to catch the ejaculate at the end.

My husband is 52. He admitted to a wank sock in his teen years. Not a myth but was always hyper careful of my teenage sons socks just in case they were using them in this way 🤮
