What about the bulge
Re: What about the bulge
I say embrace your body the way it is, don’t hide what is natural yours. I am in the gym 5 to 6 days a week wearing leggings. Yes my bulge is there. I don’t hide it under shorts, long shirt or a jacket. Not once have I had an issue or anyone say anything about my body. I’m there to work hard and keep fit. I swim, as well, wearing a bulge enhancing bikini brief (thongs are not allowed unfortunately). Everywhere else I will wear an enhanced pouch thong (beach, pool, resort). No one has ever had an issue with what’s there as long as I am wearing swimwear.
Re: What about the bulge
I don’t care. I’m a male with male parts. Out of respect to others I try to wear lined swimwear in public. Of the beaten path I am not as worried what you see or like. In private if you don’t like what you see, don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Re: What about the bulge
I just left the gym (Planet Fitness) I only wear leggings I also don't cover with shorts, but some of my shirts are longer than others. In my home gym I'm the only one that wears leggings that I've seen. But I have the blackcard I have seen guys wearing them at other gyms.Guitar T wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 10:14 pm I say embrace your body the way it is, don’t hide what is natural yours.

I also wear leggings as regular attire for shopping and dinners while on the road for work.
Wear thongs and Rio cut bikinis in hotel pools.
Re: What about the bulge
As a swimmer from age 4 to senior year in college, i never thought about the bulge, until I moved to new high school mid junior year. I got the nickname packageman (honestly i don't think i have a big package) but it stayed with me for the year and a 1/2 untill college when no one said anything.

Re: What about the bulge
The exhibitionist in me means I’m a big fan of a bulge, I like to wear a swim thong with an enhancing pouch to lift and push my package forward so it’s on full display. I usually wear a metal c-ring to keep me firm too. I think a thong also emphasises the bulge much more than a speedo or bikini.
Re: What about the bulge
I belong to a gym in New South Wales in Australia which is part of a larger group of gyms, but certainly not worldwide. A while ago I was asked to attend a meeting with management to discuss my appearance at the classes I attend on a regular basis. The classes all differ in their intended aim, but all are aimed at improving your aerobic fitness rather than anerobic fitness, ie weightlifting. Most of the time I am surrounded by females as that seems to be the sort of classes that they wish to take part in rather than the male dominated weight rooms. So, it was with some element of surprise on my part that I was asked to stop wearing fitted Lycra clothing that included shorts, unitards and leotards, all of which are usually in bright colours. I admit I am not a young muscle-built stud likely to cause any swooning but instead thought I was pretty much an invisible older male. However, I had obviously caused some consternation among the female attendees. Compared to the standard male wear in the gym I suppose I did stand out a bit because nearly all the men are wearing black with black highlights or dark navy blue or to brighten it up a bit, dark grey. I asked if it was simply that they objected to my choice of clothing. But that was not the entire problem. My male genital bulge was the main problem. I asked what they expected to see at the top of a man’s legs and if they were surprised to view a bulge? I was dumbfounded and at first was inclined to walk out or resign my membership but upon reflection decided to try and comply. The gym, being a private concern could cease my membership upon their will, whereas had this been a public situation no-one could have legally objected to my clothing in any respect, as long as there was no display of naked genitals. The advice given was to try wearing some underwear like a “G” string or wear some looser fitting shorts, which is the road I have chosen to go down. I still attend, but grudgingly. Why are males so scared of themselves? Black everything, swimmers, briefs, shorts, tops, try some colour.
