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.

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??

Yep the study was was on QI. Basically it highlighted that men's first focus was on genitals whatever species, but not women's focus.

Neuticles or similar were featured on an episode of Bondi Vet many years ago. The owner of a bulldog was getting dragged all over the place and the vet suggested castration & she said her partner refused to consider it as he wouldn't be seen with a male dog without bollocks and he would find it emasculating! Men a VERY weird about their balls. Anyway, partner was happy to pay the many thousands of A$ to have fake balls inserted into the sacks left when they did the castration. Stupid man (sigh).

@dontletmedownbruce Female dogs do have bleeds but it's sort of the opposite of periods in humans - they can bleed when they are on heat and fertile.

To further the point, should they wear them under their pyjamas 😅😅

To be really crude it puts a new spin on the phrase "He thinks he is the dog's bollocks"

I'd love to see the idiot across the way try it with her unmuzzled mutant dog (XL bully)

My goodness what's next? My cat in a bra that covers her 8 nipples and some knickers so I don't have to see her arsehole? 😂

I saw a dog wearing a nappy on a bus once. I’d much rather see that than dog wee!

Why stop at dogs?
How about squirrels being made to wear boxing gloves when outside their drays so the can't dig up my lawn and plant their acorn stash on my property!

RubySquid · 23/11/2025 19:34

I think you need help

TroysMammy · 23/11/2025 19:34

My sister had a white cat and our Mother frequently mentioned he needed pants because of his pink, winking bumhole. I actually found a white cat shaped tea towel holder which had one of those pink rubber contraptions where it's arse was. My brother in law nearly wet himself laughing when I pointed a finger and made a shlurping sound to demonstate.

lolly427 · 23/11/2025 19:48

Oh gawd you're not wrong OP, when that gross pink bit starts sticking out - urggh male dogs are gross. No one should have to see that. I would only ever have female dogs

KilliMonjaro · 23/11/2025 20:28

What about squirrels?! 🐿️

Ha ha. That's the dogs bollocks!

FrangipaniBlue · 23/11/2025 21:57

I know someone IRL who genuinely thinks this…. that all male dogs should be castrated at birth or made to cover up

MajesticWhine · 23/11/2025 22:31

My dog has not got his bollocks. And he might struggle to pull his pants up after having a wee, so it’s a no from him. Nice idea though.

brunettemic · 23/11/2025 22:36

The possibilities are endless, female dogs could be forced to wear some sort of bra/bikini top to cover their 8 (or is it 10?) nipples too. A one piece option too. The boys could maybe let their nipples roam free, not sure.
