heh weird topic but I have to admit I do all sorts of things. It depends on what I am wearing outside of the boxers and now so much the boxers. Pants then yes I do use the trapdoor thingy. Shorts are different. Since I wear athletic shorts and boxer briefs often for working out and sports I will actually pull it down my short leg. Sounds weird but I think some guys will know what I mean. I hate having to pull my pants all the way down to take a leak and pulling boxer briefs with shorts (often with waist ties) down is a bit annoying, I just wrangle the snake down the leg. Can't believe I just said that...

Well I guess that's my point.

I've been wearing shirts, tucked into pants with a belt very single day for...ummm...well over a decade and its always been easier to

buckle
button
zip

do busniess

zip
button
buckle

than the god awful nonsense of trying to fish the firehose and reach downinto your crotch to pull that puppy out past a shirt, pants, zipper, tiny hole in underwear like some weird snake maze. I just don't see how anybody actually does it.

zip, hang, done.

I have the typical flaps in my briefs, but I never use them.

you need to change the pole/poal/pohl so that in "normal" situations we'd rather not un-button, but in "dress-up" situations we'd be more inclined to

Bud, I think you have graduated to boxers.
;)

I tried boxers. It's no fun sitting on your balls.

Briefs for me, thanks.

I usually leave any buttons unbuttoned anyway because my member is large enough and my hair is short enough that I don't have to worry about any potential zipper jams...

so you are saying your weiner is small?

Does it actually matter?

I mean hell if I'm out with my boys on the golf course taking care of mother nature (with a belt and fully tucked in shirt) you just lift the right pant leg and go. None of this 'fish the firehose through a maze crap.'

Does one not know how to tuck in one's shirt and belt oneself?

I mean I am thoroughly confused.

alright, you're a lady.

You have no idea the sheer pain and misery that comes with sitting on ones testicles. It is zero fun. And once you do, there is no taking back the pain......its there and will last for a while.

And yes, for some men they do swing to and fro.

But I'll take to and fro anyday over "snug and pissed off"

I'm not answering this question as most on the board haven't hit puberty yet.

Just watch the nature channel and you'll understand.

nothing worse than the schweaty balls at the end of the day. Boxers help the boys breath... nothing like sitting in front of the fan after a long workout and letting air hit the testes head on.



:Q


oh yeah and I use the flap when I feel like it. probably 40% of the time.

I think I only used it once to try it out. Didn't like it. Pull down.

Heh, remember the kid back in grade 1 who didn't know how to pee right? Pants and underwear down around the ankles, bare ass hangin in the wind at the urinal. :)

Holy crap!

50% of ATOT doesn't know how to urinate.

Next question...

Do the 50% that use the trapdoor tuck their shirt into their underwear like mommy told them to?

It can happen to anyone. It's especially an issue on bumpy boat rides.

It's too hard to dig it out of that small hole... and then stuff it back in :-x
Maybe my penis is just a tad too big :(

retucking the shirt is the deciding factor for me. that takes more effort than pulling it out. then again maybe i have an easier time finding my firehose than you... LOL :p

The scrotum is extremely elastic and will pull tighter when cold to warm the testicles, and become very lose and dangle when trying to cool the testicles. (Sperm thrive at a few degrees under body temp, and the scrotum is a temp regulating device)

In warm weather, the scrotum is lose and dangles quite low.

well that's the thing...if you have a small peter maybe its easy.

Pulling it up through the right pant leg, past a few other garments and trying to fish it through a small trapdoor and let alone the zipper all while getting your shirt out of the way just seems like WAY too much work.
