    Well, what a disappointment. From the thread title I was expecting something a lot more scandalous!

    Me too! I thought he'd been getting it out on the high street or something! :rotfl:

    Some people get way too offended way too easily.

    Or on the number 52 bus.
  • Ewww; that's grim. I know that most (all, probably, but won't generalise...:o ) play 'pocket billiards' at times - some being more open about grasping the Pirate of Menzpants in company than others

    That is quite possibly the funniest name I have ever heard given to the male parts. I actually laughed out loud when I read it, getting funny looks from my OH:rotfl:

    Me too, I though there was going to be tackle out in the street when 'in public' was mentioned, not a bit of pocket fumbling indoors.

    Incidently OP, where is this 'room' he's doing it in, your house or his?

    I'd go for the humiliation approach... next time he does it, say something loud like 'blimey, have you lost somat down there?' Then, the next time, laugh loudly and say OMG he's at it again. The time after that, make an even bigger deal, give him a nickname, whatever.

    He'll soon stop doing it in front of you, or at least be aware of what he's doing and when.

  • Do you think he's just not aware that he's doing it ? There is a bit of a difference between a quick rearranging of that area and putting hands into pants and rummaging about for longer isn't there ? Just last week I was walking towards a man ( with DH , not alone ) and he was adjusting the front of his pants , not just a quick tweak . I glanced at him , he looked at me and continued with his task . I really think that some men aren't aware of doing it so obviously . That, or they don't care . It might be taken the wrong way if it's really obvious, in front of children . I suppose it could get him into bother doing it in front of anyone , if taken the wrong way .

    I walked past a bunch of 15 - 18 year olds at a guess the other day, and they all had their hand down their pants whilst walking, not just down their pants but their grundies too!!!

    I agree with others about the OP, there isn't enough info to say whether it's a quick flick to get the sticky blighter off their legs or a fondle for a length of time.

    Have some sympathy Op, he may have the onset of twisted 'knacker syndrome', where its imperative to adjust oneself before a shooting pain comparable with giving birth sets in.


    Edit: There is no rhyme or reason to twisted knacker syndrome it can sneak up on you at any time. You can be sat quite safely for hours, perform the simple act of standing up and its arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh

    Like this? I thought all blokes, especially chavvier types, did this. I always thought they were just checking their bits were still intact, "Yep, still there."
  • I'd just ask him to stop touching and playing with his penis whilst he was in my company because it was very offensive. I certainly wouldnt have him doing this in front of children as I wouldnt want them copying him and thinking it was o.k.
    I think men are aware of doing this but think they can get away with being disguisting.They cant and should go to the bathroom and do it if needed.Theres no excuse its horrid.
