Weird way hubby gets dressed...is this normal?

If you want to take a poll, I can tell you that I do not dress like that. But then again, i'm not your average guy. I don't even wear an undershirt

Besides, who wears underwear these days? :D j/k

My boyfriend doesn't do the shirt thing, but he does place his penis up. It's because if he gets a boner, it would REALLY hurt to have it forced downward.

My boyfriend generally lets it hang and then adjusts it upwards later.

As for tucking the undershirt in to his underwear...I know both my grandpas dressed that way.

Ok, honestly, I had to read the replies to figure out what p+++++ is...
Words are just words, they won't bark or bite :)

as for the fact that he puts it up... For one, if you have pants on that are rather rigid, then like LPM said, it *hurts* when it does come up. And if you're wearing sweatpants, then you'll pitch a tent that's bound to catch some wind if not every eye in the room.

So yeah, I usually do the same thing.

as for tucking his shirt in with the sides hanging through the legholes... I did the same when I was little, grew out of it.... What's the big deal ? Maybe a little geeky at his age, but it's an innocent habit, I'd say let him enjoy it? :)

One thing that I still don't get though... his penis is always up when erect...

isn't that the point?

To each thier own, atleast he's comfortable.
I rarely wear an undershirt or underwear.
just how I am most comfortable.
I imangine being all tucked in would feel very secure,
like a pair of favorite jammies.
An important confidence boost at work.

The tucking in of the undershirt into the underwear is pretty common... It keeps the undershirt from riding up and looking messy when worn under a dress shirt (and dress shirts look much much better when worn with an undershirt)

The penis question - don't know - never noticed and never asked...

I have to ask how long you've been married- It sounds like you're a newlywed and just getting to know each other's endearing quirks... :)

When I opened this thread- I had a flashback to an old All in the Family episode with Archie and Meathead arguing the finer points of getting dressed and is it sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe- I was expecting this thread to be similar :)

Hm. I've been married more than half my life and I have no idea how the spouse 'tucks'.... :lol:
There's a topic for discussion: 'Which way do you tuck your penis in?'
As for t-shirts, those are his 'work clothes'; he's never worn an undershirt, but I'd have to assume the same thing Mal said, it keeps them neatly flat.
(personally, when wearing camisoles, I don't tuck them in-they don't reach the top of my undies :))

I don't wear undershirts when I am wearing dress shirts. Wasn't the point of wearing an undershirt so that you could wear your dress shirt several times before it needed to be laundered?

When I was a little kid, I used to tuck my dress shirts (on the few times I would wear them) into my underwear to keep them from riding up. I wouldn't dream of doing this today.

As for the penis thing... I just let it go where it wants. Beisdes, I wear boxers, so even if I wanted it to lie "up" it would go where it wants in the end.

Bingo. I occasionally wear undershirts under dress shirts, and I always tuck it into my boxers to prevent undershirt ride-up. There's nothing worse than having a lumpy undershirt. It doesn't hang down my leg-holes because I wear undershirts that fit me, and therefore aren't long enough to do that.

Any man who's had pants altered by an old-fashioned tailor might likely have been asked this question. The way it's usually said is, "Which way do you dress?" By which they mean, do you hang left or right? When pants are tailored the old fashioned way, that's taken into account.

I'm a lefty, by the way. I can't imagine walking around all day pointing up in the air. What, do they tuck it in their waistband or something!? And, who gets that many erections during the day? Are these guys 14 or something!? :crazy:

How sad is it, that I remember that episode. And not from Nick at Night, either. I remember it from when it originaly aired. Michael's argument was that by putting on a sock and shoe and a sock and a shoe, should the house catch fire, while he was dressing, he could run outside and hop around on one foot, thus keeping his feet dry. Or, something like that.

Now that I'm done reminiscing, let's get to the topic at hand. As has been stated, the primary purpose behind "tucking" the undershirt is/was to keep it from riding up, and bunching over the beltline. This was an old military trick from way back. (Before my time even.) When I was in the service, we even had "shirt garters". These were little "Y" shaped pieces of elastic, with fasteners on all 3 ends. The idea was to attach the top of the "Y" to your shirt tail, run the bottom down the side of your leg, and hook the bottom to the top of your socks. This not only kept your shirt tucked in, it kept your socks from falling down. It's what helped to keep the Security Police looking crisp, and sharp, after a 12 hour shift.

Now...for the record. I "tuck"...up.

too much entendre.... must.. resist...

I'm in the boxer camp. Buy him some boxers and all will be well. They're not just for old guys who smell of vapo-rub. As for the undershirt thing, I tuck on those handful of occasions I've ever worn one.

Dude... you are a giant. Do they even *make* shirts that are too long for you? :lol:

I am usually asleep when my husband gets dressed. I have no idea which way he does it. And really, what is the problem, if that is the way he is comfortable? "Normal" is a very objective term.

Quadro doesn't tuck his undershirts in, but maybe I'll suggest it? Maybe. And he does "tuck up" but will also let the little guy fly free too - just depends on the mood, and what pants he's wearing, I think. And if I've been waking up the little guy when it's not convenient. :lol:

:D

I can't understand how having your penis smashed up against you could be more comfortable than the alternative. I'd think you'd have to be wearing lots of clothing that was tight to keep it there (perhaps this is what causes all those erections?), or pehaps be of a smaller nature. And erections would be even more inconvienent because then you'd have to deal with a penis sticking out the top of your pants.

Tucking your undershirt into your underwear also seems bonkers to me. You just adjust and smooth out the shirt under the pants once the pants get put on. No worries, and no shirt in your friggin' boxers. :crazy:

Edit: Also, p++++ is terribly funny.

Personally I dress left and tuck my gear down. If you happen to get a boner in the course of the day,(and hey, who here doesn't occasionally fantasize during political science class?), it doesn't show. If you tuck up and get an errection, it's instantly noticable to everyone, and I embarass easily.

Yeah I've heard them called shirt stays nowadays. I use them when I wear my uniforms, because it makes you look fucking sharp.

I have found that many officers don't wear them though.

Gee - talk about too much information :) Poor Quadro :lol: little guy... heh

I didn't mean it THAT way, sheesh! That was "little" as opposed to Big Quadro, the regular rest of him type Quadro. Don't get me in trouble, woman! :p

I just slip on my boxers and let my dick hang free. If I I get wood during the day I adjust accordingly. An no, I don't tuck my shirt into my undies.

See, I found this *snippet* to be the funniest part... :lol:

Dressing up was a habit I developed in Jr. High, during my "wood when the wind blows" stage.

Too much information Spoiler: : Uncircumcized + hair + wood = a pain more glorious than any embarrassment

Starting up didn't eliminate the pulls, but made it possible to remedy without burying an arm to the elbow. Gahhh, I'd almost forgotton those moments. :D

Wow, I didn't know there was anyone who DIDN'T tuck up.. I thought it was the only engineering solution to the penis problem. I consistently have morning wood, and since thats when I'm getting dressed thats the only place it can go. I wear boxers, so it would just stick out perpidincularly from my body, making putting pants on, especially ZIPPERED ones (ouch) a pain the ass. Penises have different curvature-- mine is naturally very close to my stomach rather than straight out.. soooo I just tuck it under the waistband to keep it up while I put m on my pants.. although sometimes it has to stick above the waistband, which is its own unique challenge..

As for shirts under my boxers, I'd never thought of that. I always have my shirts coming out. However, I'd be afraid that my pants would come too far down and you'd see my boxers outside of my shirt. I'll have to contemplate that some more..

I do that, too... the penis up thing. It's just more comfortable, even without sporting wood. As for the shirt... I tuck my undershirt into my boxers as well, though since I wear boxers, it doesn't come out of the bottom of the leg. As metioned above, it keep things looking neater under dress shirts and even polo shirts. My wife thought it was strange the first time or two she saw me do it, but it's just my normal thing. I actually only started doing that part a few years ago.

As for horizontal penises... that's gravity doing it's work. it's like a hinge... it can be pushed UP and it's just fine. If it get's pushed DOWN, that's like going against the hinge... and it's not pleasant. Even sideways (against the leg) is generally MUCH more comfortable than straight down. Two parts to that, as well... the hinge is one. The second is that what is down? Pants! The penis can't go through them. What is up? Space. The penis can grow about more freely. Just a thought...

I tuck up, highcut briefs or boxer briefs, both hold Mr. Happy where he should be, up and off center ( to the fold of the thigh/hip ). As for the shirt thing, the undershirts i wear come down to around "nut level" As such I pull them nice and flat OVER the underwear and let my slacks along with my belt keep it from riding up.

I'm surprised to find out that people tuck up. It never occurred to me (except when in a strip club).

I've never tucked my shirt into my underwear, but that doesn't strike me as being as unusual as tucking your penis up. I just wear boxers and let it all hang free. If you're wearing tightie whities, it might be a different story, but I haven't worn those for years and years. Even, then, though, I didn't do anything unusual in that department. I guess I'm just pretty good about my wood.

First and foremost: Men put dicks up when putting underwear on. Why? When it gets hard, it goes up and since it's already up, it's painless. If it was down to begin with, it has to go through a long process of going up hard while rubbing against the pant and turst me, that ain't fun.

Really, I kind of enjoy that, it feels good when it sort of forces it's way up. Maybe it's just me?

Poll added for your viewing pleasure

It's sometimes enjoyable to me too.

I didn't realize so many guys tuck in a certain way. I've never tucked as I wear boxers so it's not really possible. If I tuck up and get a boner it would come out the top of my pants so that wouldn't really work, and if I'm flacid it really doesn't stay up on it's own (at least in boxers) but I also tend to wear loose pants.

I've never had much of a problem with tents as I've never been standing/moving when I've gotten fully erect, so when I'm sitting I just raise my leg so I'm sitting with my ankle on my knee and my penis just goes along my leg so it's not really noticable. Although occationally I need to get up after I got erect and that can be a problem, but usually it goes down pretty fast if I do.

:confused:

Umm, I don't... And it doesn't hurt if I get a hard on while my dick is hanging down.

In just two months of being here two years I can honestly say without a doubt this is one of the funniest 'serious' discussions I have ever seen. :lol:

And, hundove, they point in all different directions! well, they won't tell you to make a sharp left turn, but..... :lol:

You just get out of bed and put on clothes? A lot of people like to shower in-between. :P

Bingo. Bingo.

Spouse always showers before bed because he doesn't like sleeping dirty.
He gets up at 5am, gets dressed immediately before heading downstairs.
Funny how we think our own habits are everyone else's, eh? ;)

I go commando with no undershit. Hell yeah.
