growing up with tighty-whities prevented my dick from growing to its full potential?

When I was a kid and my mom used to buy my pants for me, she’d always get these Jockey or Fruit of the Loom tighty-whities. I’ve since switched to boxers, boxer-briefs and going commando, but I still wear briefs when I’m doing sports, for the support. But I’ve noticed that whenever I wear briefs, I feel smaller, which is weird, because the opposite should be the case, because underwear that hugs your nutsack should make everything warmer and more relaxed.

The worst part is that when I’m exerting myself, my dick shrivels to like three inches (though it feels like it’s about a millimeter) and points forward rather than down inside my briefs, making them feel REALLY small.

I’m wondering whether all those years of wearing tighty-whities prevented my dick from reaching it’s full potential, by constricting its growth. Also, I used to wear them with my pecker pointing UP. I’ve since concluded that I’ve been wearing them wrong all my life, and that it’s actually supposed to point down (though I’m still not entirely sure). Perhaps that is why I don’t hang as low as I should be for someone of my dick size. Does any of this make any sense, or am I nuts?

When you are engaging in exercise or manual labor, your body needs the blood in your penis to do other things, like military presses or digging ditches. I’m not sure about the underwear thing. I think your penis would ideally point down. Do you have a tight scrotum? If your balls carry high, you might look into ball-stretching. That should help with the way your penis points. It also sounds like you may be a “grower,” so your flaccid size won’t reflect your erect size.

Hope this helps,

Don’t worry if your dick shrivels up disproportionately small to your erection all the other guys in the showers with the long hangers do PE.

If you worry that your penis could have been bigger than it will shrivel up more. Worry = small penis. At the end of the day who can tell?! Perhaps if I didn’t smoke pot throughout my teens and ate a good penis diet my cock would be bigger now.

Also a small flacid penis is handy if you live in a cold climate (as are smaller lips, fingers etc). All these areas of the body are prone to frostbite. Remember we didn’t always have central heating.

swinteck,

Actually you said exactly what I was thinking. But I’m still wearing tightie-whities. I’m a young guy too so I know I should be wearing boxers like every other guy my age.

My penis is pointing up in my tightie-whities although when I was younger, it was down. The problem with having it down is that it’s squeezed in its flaccid state. It’s bent. When I get erect while it’s in this position, it’s painful since there’s no room to expand in the tightie-whities. Now that it’s pointing up, when I have an erection, there’s room for it to grow so it’s comfortable.

Now I assume most of you guys probably wear boxers. My question is, when you get an erection, wouldn’t your hard penis hit the front of your pants causing some discomfort and making it very obvious that you have an erection?

I suppose it would, if it were 2 inches long. :)

I understand you, and would say no. I wore them growing up too. It didnt seem to hinder my growth. Before I started this PE, I was 7 x 5.5 nbp. That was the result of tighty-whities. :)

Mine hangs 5” flacid. I tried pointing mine straight up when I wore whitey-tighties but it wouldn’t stay there. When I get hard even now while I wear boxer briefs I just reach inside my waist band and rearrange the position of my cock so it points up.

I tried going commando but the rough material of the jeans I found to be a pain in the prick. If you don’t wear underwear you have to have a leather dick :D .

Fortunately mine’s a lot longer than that. Thank God. LOL. I think I didn’t explain it correctly. I meant the shaft, not the head, of the penis hitting (or pressing against) your pants. When it’s hanging down and you get an erection, my penis wants to stand perpendicular to my body (think 9 in the LOT theory). But since my pants is in the way, it’s forced to go down. There’s pressure against the pants because in the erect state, at least for me, it wants to “stand.”

momument, I know what you’re saying but you can’t just reach into your pants and pull your penis up with other people around. By the time you find a restroom, your erection might have done down already making this moot.

Lucky you. :)

My mom also for some odd reason made us wear briefs, it could be that she didn’t really know about boxers (old world lady). My theory on other guys moms and even guys prefering briefs is that it is ideal for circumcised guys. I sure as hell would not want my penis to keep moving around when the glans is exposed. Its alot more sensitive in uncircumcised guys. I have gone commando for several years (since 19) but switched to boxers so that i can keep my pants more hygienic. Some moms might also not want their little “baby” getting turned on in such a way so briefs will STRAP IT DOWN.

With a foreskin over glans the dick is pretty much a leather dick as someone mentioned :P I’m sure this helped when we were naked prehistoric man moving thru the brush!

Personally i think briefs affected my growth, my penis had a slight downward curve which has been remedied somewhat thru PE and length was probably affected as well. i rarely rearranged when an erection came because usually there was no opportunity in public.

I also started sleeping naked at 19 same time as i went commando. It’s way more comfortable, but for same hygienic reason I have been using boxers. I like the ones with elastic fabric not the hard stiff stuff. Make the switch! even if you have sensitive glans it might not be so bad.

Who cares what the record is for Asians, whites, blacks or whomever. We’re all human and we’re not that different (by the way, I have a half-Asian half-brother and an Asian stepbrother). There are more than 3 billion cocks on this planet, so why don’t you go start measuring them. Also, there’s another recent thread for this topic, in which I elaborate more.

I do feel that tight underwear can hinder penile growth, and so does any unnatural condition that a penis can undergo (eg circumcision). I had the same tight underwear experience when growing up :( I am above average but I think I could have become bigger.

SiamGuy,

I believe there are Asians who are huge down there, as huge as whites and blacks. I have some male Asian friends (from Japan) and they told me that they’ve seen Asian guys with 9-10” easy.

Wishing not to hijack this thread,in response to the comments about asian penis size. It is in my signature. It is an ongoing data collection i’ve started. The only way to debunk the myth is with proof. This is what i am seeking. Are you for it or not? Why cares about the racial size of the penis? Men , Women everyone. The number one reason a non asian female and hell even US asian females for not trying to have sex with an an asian male is that they doubt they have an adequate package. Who cares about penis size? I think just about everyone on this site and beyond.

Sparky, its great to hear those stories, but its not enough to just hear about it. People should see it. Asian pornstars , for the most part the over saturation of japanese or korean male pornstars (not trying to insult em) have either not shown a primary concern regarding the phallus size or indeed dont have any? I am hoping its the former. Proof please!

Well SiamGuy, by making a big deal out of the myth, you’re just drawing more attention to the stereotype. Maybe some woman who was previously unaware of racial size stereotypes has just seen your signature, and now the gears are turning in her head. My brother, who’s Chinese (and hung like a horse), gets all sorts of action (even more than I do, and I get a reasonable amount) and that’s because he’s not a whiney little bitch and doesn’t walk around with a chip on his shoulder. I’m sorry, but short of walking around with your dong hanging out, there really isn’t any way you can DIRECTLY influence the stereotype. You can only do so in INDIRECT ways by being cocky, confident, funny, etc.

Sorry for getting on a tangent.

Now back on topic: I’ve recently switched from boxers to boxer briefs. They keep my package nice and warm and supported, while not constricting it like briefs. I feel like I hang the lowest when I’m wearing them, though maybe it’s psychological.

I agree boxerbriefs are the best and they are better than boxers or commando at keeeping erections hidden.

I really doubt underwear choice prevents or facilitates penis growth. I don’t beleive it is like the goldfish theory that in a small bowl a goldfish will stay small but put it in a bigger bowl and it will grow. If this were the case any tribal person that didn’t wear pants at all growing up would be huge! Now if you were forced to bind your penis so it got absolutely no blood this may affect it.
