I use to think about this a lot, and would constantly try to fix it - trying to look like I wasn't just playing with my dick while doing it.

But now that I'm older I realise most people know clothes do this, and that it doesn't really look like a boner anyway. And people generally aren't looking at me wondering if I've got a boner, and they probably don't care if I do unless I'm also staring at them or something. .... So now I just worry about accidentally staring at people. (And my eyesight isn't great, so it isn't always easy to tell.)

I think this is one of those things that seems like everyone notices when it's you, but when you think about it in reverse you struggle to think of any times you've noticed another person with a 'jacket zipper boner'.

Zipper less hoodies don't seem to do this ime

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

IDK why this is downvoted; it's literally the zipper that causes this bulge by being stiffer and less likely to bend like the rest of the material used for the jacket/hoodie/pants.

At least on a jacket or hoodie, you can push it up so the bulge is on your chest or something. Can't really do that with jeans when the zipper is just on the crotch.

What if you have a boner? Then it provides plausible deniability.

Thank you too, Docker pants.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

They're terrible, pants boner is far worse than jacket boner.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Exactly. These and those pants that make it look like you've peed in them just a little but for stylistic reasons are just good things to have out there in the world imo.

If you have a penis on your stomach, maybe.

I never wear jackets, but still get those bumps in my jeans somehow.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's because the cloth shrinks in the wash more than the zipper so in order to fit the longer zipper in the smaller cloth it needs to bulge out.

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

You are not supposed to wash jeans in a way that would make them shrink.

You are not supposed to wash them in a washing machine at all in the first place.

Worst answer to “Is that a roll of coins in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?”

In case someone is stressing about this (I used to when I was young and dumb), no one cares about your boner, or lack thereof. But someday you might meet someone who does!

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 21 points 2 days ago

When you’re past a certain age, having an unexpected, rebellious boner that refuses to calm down is an achievement. I remember when they were a constant nuisance, so I can relate to the young and dumb guys.

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just punch on it to make it clear for everone around that it is not...

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Make sure to scream things like "yeaaaah, that's it!" and "more, more!" when you do. You have reinforce the visual denial with vocal denial.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I actually just have a boner.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Thank you jacket bump for helping me hide the continuous uncontrollable boners I got in school. I could put my hands in my pockets and play pocket pinball all through class!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 1 day ago

You should only hate it if it makes it look like your boner is smaller than it actually is. No reason to hate it when it's flattering. 😌

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 1 Episode 1 lmao definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Never be ashamed of a good boner.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

Ah to be young again!

[–] Cattail@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I too have a boner that comes out of my stomach

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago

You should get that checked

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As a tall freak of nature, I'm just thrilled when I find a shirt that reaches that low. You shorts don't know how good you have it.

This bullshit is why I never wear zip up sweatshirts.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Zip-up hoodies are the only sweaters I wear.
