Afraid to leave the house... please help...

---

So glad to find this forum, hopefully someone can offer some advice. I cant remember when it started, but maybe a few years ago (Im in my 20s), I noticed my dick would stick out when Im limp. Its not staight out, its more at at 45 degree angled down. This has become a serious problem because when I go outside there is a lump in my pants and its really embarrassing. Some days its worse than others, but its always a problem. No matter what I try you can still see this lump in my pants and I can tell everyone notices. Its gotten to the point where I can hardly bring myself to leave the house in the morning. I dont know what to do.I look at other guys and they dont seem to have this problem. My penis size is around 6", which I am comfortable with, but I cant be comfortable when everyone can see my cock. I dont get it, its not like I've got a really small or huge one, so why does mine show and not other people. I have tried just about everything I can think of besides duct-taping my dick to the side of my leg. For some reason I just cant hang. Can anyone offer any advice?

Well, do you wear boxers, boxer briefs, or briefs? Maybe that's your problem.. I have no idea... just a suggestion.

Wear tight fitting briefs and loose pants otherwise get over it.. :wink:

It's probably your balls making your dick point out instead of down

Hey bud, I don't know that there is anything you're going to be able to do about this. However, a change in clothing style might help...baggy pants, loose fitting etc. Underwear style might help as well, even boxer briefs? One other thing, while you may be self concicious about this...I doubt whether others are really studying things that much...most people don't. Besides, why worry? And you certainly can't deny yourself a social life or going out in public over something like this. It is what it is...some people have other things that bother them as well.

Seven_wants_ten has made a good point. While it could be that you just don't get as flaccid as average - there's a lot of difference between different people in that -, different people also differ in how far forward their scrotum is. If it's set well back, there's plenty of room for the penis to hang down; if it's more forward, it tends to push the penis forward. You may well have a combination of both effects.The only thing you can do about it, I think, is minimise the effect. People have suggested briefs or boxer-briefs - both control it much more than boxers. In addition, black trousers show much less than light-coloured ones. If you are wearing tight underwear (briefs or boxer-briefs) plus loose trousers (especially ones with pleating at the front) or shorts, you will show much less than with any other combination.

Well, I wear as tight boxer briefs as I can find (though they dont seem to carry extra small, and small can be baggy sometimes). I think it is a combination of a few things, since my balls dont really hang down as much as I remember. And my flacid size can fluctuate a lot. Sometimes it will be shrink down to about 2", other times I will get a full-on erection for no apparent reason. Also, dont know if this is related, but I seem to have to urinate about once an hour or more. Dont know why.

I try to stay away from baggy pants cause they seem to make the situation worse. It gets to the point where the center of my pants are hanging off the tip of my cock and it tents out the whole pants, rather embarrasing. I try not to let it get to me, and I can intellectualize the fact that everyone is different, etc., etc. But when you walk past a cute girl and she looks down for a sec and then giggles, you can't help but feel like shit. Plus the fact that I haven't gotten laid in quite a few moons doesn't help the situation either. Thanks for the advice, hope someone can offer some other suggestions.

I'm a little concerned about your having to urinate once an hour. Assuming you're not drinking prodigious amounts of water, something seems wrong. It may be psychological, but this also happens in pregnant women because the uterus is pressing on the bladder. Combined with your report that your penis sticks out unusually far, and that this is a relatively late change, it makes me worry that there may be a tumour growing somewhere down there. I'm probably too much a worrier, but I'd feel a lot happier if you got the possibility checked out by a doctor.

Urinating that frequently is a bit of a concern. Unless you consume a lot of caffeine, you shouldn't need to urinate that often. You may want to visit a doc and get a physical exam to make sure everything is OK, and mention the frequent urination to your doc.

I don't see how frequent urination is related to your penis sticking out. There's no correlation there.

Some guys have penises that stick more straight out when flaccid, and some guys have penises that hang down more when flaccid. There's nothing wrong with either way - its just the way our bodies are configured.

Hell, a lot of guys would love to have a bulge in their pants! And most girls find a bulge erotic, because they think you're the owner of a big dick, which they want, whether they giggle or not. :wink:

So don't be ashamed of the bulge, be proud of it.

That checkup is a good idea...frequent urination is one of the signs of Diabetes and also Prostate problems. I'd go get things checked out just to make sure all is well.
