Okay! So I mentioned the other day that Karen had a Rude and Prying Question™. So that she can gather more data, I have posted it here.

This is a question for them what have boy-bits, so girls are excused. The question is: with regard to dressing left or right (that is, into which side of the pants your dangly bits tend to dwell), does it match whether you're right-handed or left-handed?

[Poll #440221]

I think the "dress up" in the last question is going to skew the results since it is perfectly possible to "dress up" to one side or the other the same as if you tuck it down to one side or the other. (at the risk of TMI, I bring this up because I dress up and to the right....)

Righthanded, currently left-dangling, but it varies. Mostly the volume ratio between pants and dangly bits is sufficiently high that the issue doesn't arise.

Er... perhaps I should rephrase that.

Since I don't have any of those, I asked Uboat. He says, "Since the crotch of my pants hits at least 12" below any of that stuff it's not at all applicable."

Maybe you need to know more people who wear pants that fit?

I don't find this question especially rude or prying. I mean, I have a penis. It has to go somewhere. It's kind of like asking women whether they own sports bras, I guess? Not sure.

Karen will have to try harder...

I believe that roughly 90% of the population is right handed, and of those with testicles, 50% have a left testicle noticably larger than their right testicle. Which, I believe, influences which side you dress on.

I'm right handed, and my left thigh is slightly smaller than my right. The pants are symmetrical, unless especially tailored, I believe, giving more room on the left for dressing. But I dangle more left than right whether wearing pants or not.

I usually wear tighty whities, which prevents things from going to either side. On top of that, I usually wear baggy garments, so even if I was free of underwear, it would still be right in the middle.
