To really hate it when people play with their balls!

[littlesez]

In public! I fucking hate it, Im so sick of seeing lads with both their hands down their pants in the street pulling/fiddling/rubbing or whatever with their cock/balls/both.

I really belong on grumpy old women

[PortiaNovmerriment]

I wouldn't have thought so, nelliesmum. If it's good manners and hygiene after going to the loo, then the same applies, surely?

[Kaloki]

It's bizarre isn't it? Saw one of them the other day when I was out with DP, took so much effort to wait till we were out of earshot to laugh.

My dad is a driving instructor, so deals with teenagers loads, he had one guy come to a lesson (hands tucked into his tracksuit bottoms) then held out his hand to shake hands. My dad said he was too horrified to shake it.

[Morloth]

Who? Me? nelliesmum?

DS can fiddle with his willy as much as he likes in private, but I think a minimum standard of social etiquette requires me to teach him to leave it alone when in public.

DH is often to be found sitting with his hand on himself when I wander into the living room (not inside his trousers, but just there), that is fine, it is his living room and it is only family about.

But I doubt little boys are going to be damaged by being taught to not fiddle with their genitals in public.

[CMOTdibbler]

One of the managers at work has his hand in his pocket and fiddles. When I was office based he'd come and stand right beside you and do it while talking to you. Yuck, just yuck

[brimfull]

My bil has an awful habit of adjusting his balls , from the outside of his trousers but it is still gross.

[Mumcentreplus]

they too interesting not to touch them surely?..all those different textures..

I find it really quite gross when they do it..I have discussed this at length in the past with DH..apparently sometimes they get in a bit of a tangle down there...sometimes they need a good scratch...and for some men it's their left/right hand's default resting position

[EricNorthmansmistress]

aren't you setting up your poor little boy for some serious psycho-sexual issues when he's older?

No - she's teaching appropriate boundaries and social behaviour. FFS.

[Mumcentreplus]

babybarri...well its better than at dinner thats for sure!

[Saladbomb]

if its not lads with their hands down their trousers then its lads with their pants on show. but thats worthy of a whole other thread!

[Mumcentreplus]

bluddy hell Salad I have blatantly told a young man about his droopy lower garment!...'Pull them up before you fall down the stairs!( I was walking behind him) and I can see all you green pants!'...he laughed and pulled them up..I dont understand how/why they wear a belt!!

[SexyDomesticatedDad]

Well Mr Nadal often twangs his thong on centre court!!

Sometimes its hard (no pun intended) not to resist the urge to adjust the tackle.

There should be some device (like the fake pregnancy bumps) so that women can know what it would be like to have th extra bits there .

[Mumcentreplus]

SDD I'm very happy my genetalia are compact and mostly inside me body...as I said the resistance level must be high to stop yourself having the odd feel now an again

[OrientCalf]

dp got his balls twisted up (god knows how) when we were shopping once

I made him go and hide behind a rail of clothes to adjust himself and he complained it made him look dodgy

DP lived iwth a guy who would jangle himself in front of you - weirdly you got used to it

[OrientCalf]

thing is SDD that we DO have extra bits - breasts

but I cannot think of a time when I've had the urge to grasp them in public

[Mumcentreplus]

Orient have you never had that irresistable urge to scratch your nipple or adjust them so the nipples are in the same place...nothing worse than ill aligned nipples I tell ya!..

[Mittz]

Oh I love MN!

It makes me give a wry smile. I live in a village 20 odd miles from any city and the yoofs do it sometimes in their 'gangsta stylee'.

DS (12) has a jangle occasionally and I ask him if everything is OK.

I suspect I would in the same position (although maybe not quite so publicly) but am quite happy with the bits I have got which are equally pleasant to be acquainted with

[StealthPolarBear]

part of the problem i'm having potty training 3yo DS is that its so much fun to fiddle with his willy or worse, bum, nappyless

[OrientCalf]

mumcentreplus

I've been known to give them a hoik in the loo when necessary

[SexyDomesticatedDad]

My DW also has to occaisonally re-adjust depending on the style of the support system - but not in public.

[Mumcentreplus]

See thats the point women do it in private!! ..

[ChoChoSan]

It's gross.

Okay, some times a chaps nuts might get caught in their pants, but it seems to be a thing amonst lads (up to age about 30!) near us to have both hands down the front of their jogging pants AT ALL TIMES! It's so infantile!

It makes me want to chuck when I think I am handling the same railings etc on the buses and tubes that they have just had round their filthy knackers

[piprabbit]

I manage to resist the urge to fiddle with my breasts - but both my DCs are inclined to pat and stroke them in public (usually as a form of greeting). DS (2yo) keeps trying to wedge his foot down my cleavage - sadly there is plenty of room to lose a foot, or even an entire toddler.

[BionicEar]

Ah I think I have the answer to this question! The answer was given by my DN aged 4yrs who told his mum that he does it to check that "my bits haven't fallen off!" Must be lots of insecure men out there convinced their bits have or are about to drop off!

[Mumcentreplus]

pip i know exactly where you are coming from especially my 2nd DD..she puts her hand up or down my top to have a good stroke!!!..she really misses them
