I can't help but think this would only make things worse for someone insecure about their size because now it's giving potential partners a false sense of reality that will be exposed the second they come off. It also seems weird because this isn't the 1980s where "nut hugger" jeans are popular either.

If anything I would think pressing it up against the fabric would give a very very clear "impression" of their average size.

Only if you walk around erect all day. But yeah I don't know why anyone would want this. I got really self conscious about wearing certain shorts because an ex told me my nuts would often show a buldge the way they fit. Never wanted to wear them again, was really hoping no one else noticed such, but who knows

Did they say the bulge was undesired though

The tone/context she said it in indicated she thought it was intentional with a hint of jealousy. So depends on the take I guess. Either way it was a lose lose situation for me and possibly something I should have seen as a red flag and not something to overly analyze... Says the guy who is still desiphering how I should have absorbed that information 14 years later

Bruh it sounds like you dated a man who didn't know he was a man yet.

That's why I want more than a "subtle lift." I want a massive, exaggerated, cartoonishly unrealistic lift.

I don’t hear anything about people complaining about push-up bras, now men are finally getting some sexy clothing too.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah what guy would complain about seeing a woman take her bra off? A guy that insecure is going to have a bad reaction in the same situation.

Okay, but then where are the pants with ball-cleavage? Push-up, for what?
