Giving New Meaning To “Bachelor Pad”

I gotta agree, Wendy.  These rank right up there with skinny jeans as the worse fashion idea for men ever.  Also sounds like a great way to get an infection.  Let the boys breathe!

Hey if it makes them feel more “manly” why do I care?  We don’t own the right to be the only sex to want to feel more confident when they leave the house.  Those skinny jeans just didn’t do it for me either, but hey I like people who dress for themselves and not other people so if that’s what they want to wear all the power to them.  My husband wouldn’t be caught in either!

I don’t mind it, but if I unzipped a guy’s pants and found padding, I’d be laughing pretty hard at his expense.

Not really that much padding, if a guy needs those, eek…

Love those abs!  The jeans look “fine”, and I’m choosing to believe that no artificial enhancements are involved.

@Wendy Atterberry: “it’s weird to think of a man wearing padded jeans”

I think it’s crazy that any guy would pay designer prices for this when a $1 tube sock in your bikini briefs works great, or so I’ve been told.

I’m always weirded out by men with more beauty products than women. Do these jeans qualify as a “beauty product”? I guess that depends on who you ask

Why don’t we just GET RID of all the padded, pushed up, slimed down, “magic” undergarments and get OK with the fact that we don’t all look like airbrushed models? Instead of passing the perfection insecurity on to this generation of men, lets get rid of it for everyone.

“Reinforced fly?”  Haha.  As someone who does look like an airbrushed model, I suggest we men leave the insecurity-removing undergarments to the ladies.

@Raugiel:  Thank you! 

I never bought into the whole “material enhancement” phenomenon.  I have family and friends who try so hard to live up to the Beauty Myth and essentially waste their lives, rather than enjoying it.  If people don’t like how you look, drop them.  I’d rather be valued for my intellectual accomplishments than by how much silicone I’ve pumped into my chest.

Actually, I’m also totally against padded bras and Spanx. I don’t wear padded bras because of my terror of making out with a guy, him reaching for breasts and pulling back in horror at the epic deception I’ve pulled on him. Also, those Spanx aren’t sexy without the clothes covering it. Yeah, you look great with the clothes on, but once they come off, you’re just wearing stuffing and a some super tight granny panties.

from a completely superficial eye candy point of view, that is a very nice picture. Certainly makes me want to know what is going on underneath. Even if I never get to find out, a little padding to enhance the imagination is alright with me.

Personally, I’m quite confident with what’s behind my zipper so I shan’t be needing such a gadget.  Only those who are insecure with what they have need such props.  Using such is like false-advertizing and only makes the user/wearer look foolish when discovered.  The Elvira movie comes to mind….

I like padded bras. They hide headlights.

A little padding’s nice, to prevent nipping out, but once it hides the actual cushy-ness of my boobs, I know it’s going too far.

Why are people so amazed?  Men have been padding that area for centuries.  Codpieces anyone?  They also padded their calves in the 1700s.  Men can be slaves to fashion just as much as women.  I don’t care as long as they are confident, not crude, about it.  And I agree with White Mushroom, padding can be a good thing.

WAIT! At 40 I’ve finally figured out what all those bumps and ridges are, and whether he might tuck to the right or the left. I now enjoy gawking at crotches, wondering if he’s “snipped”, or “turtle neck” a “grower” or a “shower”. It livens up my favorite TV shows like NCIS and all Law & Orders anything “guy-centric”, now you’re telling me that men might hide the TUBE-STEAK!?! For all of us closeted cougars, I beg you if you are male, between the ages of Glee ( Actors, not actual High Schoolers) and Sean Connery DO NOT PAD THE PENIS. NOR THE BUTTOCKS BE BOOSTED. I am one of the sad and rare minority of straight older women who admire renaissance art for its male nudes (with out erections) and are married for BEARDS to straight men so that they can look at gay porn (naked men) online, and their provider thinks it the hubby.   My favorite are the BEARS.

There are women who are looking at men just as they (men)look at us. “Yum, I wouldn’t kick that out of bed.” Welcome to the 21st century boys, how does it feel to be a piece of meat, judged by your looks and “bits and pieces”?  (For the record, the last time I misrepresented my own body was in JR. High by stuffing (bra), it was also the first time I ever got felt up. Bad memories all round)

I am not sure about the male padding part. I am guilty of looking at a cute guy’s crotch, at least when my husband isn’t around. I just can’t help myself, I love a man in a nice pair of tight jeans, not spandx though.
I am curious do guys like looking at the female camel toe?
I agree girls need a little padding in their bra’s or they just as well go bra-less, which I prefer anyway.

Well, Iam, I agree, except for going braless.*There’s a city ordinance here naming me specifically in regards to compulsory brassiere or other “chesticle support system” usage. Seems there were complaints of neck injuries, as well as black eyes, boxed ears and shorter individuals being pummeled about the head and shoulders when I had occasion to run. Personally, I don’t think it’s my fault that at 40, gravity has caught up, however slightly, with my 36DDDs. And padded bras are very hard to find in my size, dang it.

*Entire paragraph is complete and total hogwash, save for personal measurements and sad saggage fact. Please take in the tongue in cheek way it was intended.
