Ok, welcome to what is probably THE most embarrassing thing I've ever had to post in these forums... but I'd rather be embarrassed in a forum than in real life, which is the whole reason why I'm asking it here to begin with

Got this problem when I run. Has a lot to do with pain and a little to do with my inner thighs - they rub together when I run, and oww. Got it?

So I got myself a wonderful pair of running tights. I can see that they will help me A LOT with that particular problem, as well as cool me down while running and they have the added benefit of showing my new almost-80lbs-smaller ass to the entire world. Gotta love the tights.

Problem? (here comes the embarrassing part, so brace yourselves...)

What the HECK am I supposed to wear UNDER the tights? Remember, I'm not at the gym to get dates, so I'd like to look cool without the following:

1. don't wanna show the world that I wear boxers.
2. don't wanna show the world my special piercings (was that tmi? )
3. don't wanna just wear a strap because... what would happen in the event of a wardrobe malfunction?

I've seen a LOT of guys at the gym wearing them, but I haven't run into them in the changing room yet, and stalking someone until they go into the changing room might be cause for major misunderstandings, and you couldn't PAY me enough to approach anyone to ask them about their intimates, so... I'm asking here

I'm so embarrassed I could poop.

I know you said this is a Q for the gents, but FWIW my hub sometimes wears boxers of the snug variety, still longish, but I bet they wouldn't bunch up like ole school boxers.

Don't poooooop!

do you mean like bicycle shorts? you're running in them, and you want to wear something under them? i just wear those... and they endure a good bit, i played soccer in them, sliding around in the grass. no tears.

Just wear the tights underneath a thin pair of nylon shorts. Treat your tights as the underwear- that way your piercings won't protrude.

What they said Wear the tights as your undergarment - I have a pair of under armour 'tights' that I wear when I'm doing any vigorous sport.

Same as the above. I used to wear a tight pair of fitted shorts under my rugby shorts during matches and I didn't wear anything beneath them.

As for the piercing it really isn't an issue in terms of comfort as I have a prince albert myself and it was always fine.

So, just wear shorts over the top. Lets face it, was you actually going to rock into the gym wearing skin tight shorts and just work out like that?? You're a better man than me if you were.

Thanks for the help guys

I doubted a little bit if I really wanted to work out with the tights (tights is probably not the word, but that's what the skintight running shorts are called in danish at least) AND regular shorts - I thought it might be too warm, but I tried it and it wasn't too bad, just need to make sure I have shorts on that breathe...

It wasn't so much a comfort issue with my PA, it was mostly that my PA is a bit... bulky, and very obvious under the shorts

Maybe my next before/after pic needs to be of my ass, because I look GREAT in shorts lately lol

What the hell have you got in there?? Or is it just cos you're conscious of it that you can see it cos you're looking for it??

Ha ha! Thank you. I didn't have a clue what Prince Alberts were, but Google and Wikipedia were so graphically helpful.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to barricade the doors before corporate security gets here, and soak my eyeballs in turpentine for a bit.

Actually it's my better half who told me that there was no way in HELL I would be allowed to show my face (?) in public looking like that - then my PA got a really hard tug

You guys are making me faint with all these yoingy mental pictures.

And why the hell is it called a Prince Albert? Do all royal family "members" have this kind of "marking"?

Oh, now I've got nightmare images of the queen mother's nipplez, AHHHHHH!!!

It was made famous by the namesake who had one.

At the time it was the fashion I believe. As the trousers were so tight they used the hook to help them dress to the sude without showing a huge bulge? I can't work it out myself but that's how it was explained to me once?

Nowadays it's just a tool that you can use to have keyring hanging competitions. Our local rugby club record was 88 sets

They are actually quite bad from my experiences though on your request I have no intention of divulging into any details.

That's not why I got mine...

I've got no idea why you got yours but mine was a result of too much alcohol being consumed while within a room of over zealous rugby guys who thought it would be a great idea at the time. Some of the guys changed their minds as soon as the sun rose on the following day, but me being me decided to face the music and insisted on not backing down. Maybe I really am a true Taurus and am just stubborn.

In all honesty though it really wasn't that big a deal to go through with. I was bricking it in the waiting room, and the sight of a 5 inch needle passing through your pride and joy was quite sobering, however in the end it was a doddle. Everyone thinks you have to be hard as nails or crazy. Well you don't have to be a tough guy and the other factor I'm probably not the best person to comment on.

No alcohol involved here - I apprenticed as a piercer a few years back in one of my "screw the world" periods. I wasn't too hot about the idea to begin with, but the guy I was working for told me over and over how great it was... it was just a matter of time before I gave in.

And I must admit it's high on the list of "cool things I've done" - feels great!

Wow, that just sounds so painful. I'm hoping the benefits are overwhelming as the actual piercing must have been horrible!

Actually not that horrible - I've been pierced a little over 25 times in various places (most of which I don't have anymore, but anyhoo...) and I would NOT put my PA on the list of most horrible (it would be a toss-up between the ring I got between my pinkie and ring finger, or my nipples). It was actually the piercing that healed the quickest - pee is a good disinfectant


I'm wondering if I'm gonna get banned from traineo now for starting this discussion lol

I can vouch for that it was easy. I was worried when the guy asked me if I had sanitaru pads as I was likely to bleed for 3 days but it wasn't all that bad.

Worst experience is the first trip to the bathroom, and yes it does burn. I actually went straight for a pint afterward to collect my thoughts and that was where that first moment came. Ha ha, that gents wasn't the same by the time I had finished as a fine pink spray hit the back of the urinal giving a bad account of what had just happened. I got some funny looks thats for sure. Oh, and Morning Glory for the first week or so. That wasn't funny. I've never thought of Margaret Thatcher on a cold day so much or had so many ice showers to prevent myself from feeling that discomfort.
(Sorry if that got a bit graphic, I was trying to keep it as clean as possible, though not sure I succeeded).

I believe we share the same day superstar, May 12th! There must be something weird about that date eh?? Mind you, I only have 2 that I can talk about and my nipple was very easy too.
