"sensitive" question

[Dreadbelly]

So WHAT didn't we understand?
You can always trust a pirate...
...to do the wrong thing!

It is better to be a pirate than to join the Na, er, Coast Guard.

I was going to say "be careful or I'll run you through", but it may not be appropriate.

just remember this; your 1st mate Barclay is visiting my hometown next month! Slag the Coast guard one more time pirate and I will take it out on him.

Is that a sword in your kilt or are you just happy to see me?

Have at ye!

Folks,

This is a patently silly thread. Those who are new to kilt wearing always focus on whether or not underwear should be worn with a kilt, or the intricacies of the male anatomy when worn with a kilt.

The fact is,

It is up to you and you need to use your best judgment.

And

It is no big deal!

What is worn or not worn under the kilt and all the ramifications therein are up to the wearer.

Again, use your best judgment and common sense.


'Nuff said

i totally here what you are saying Jamie; however... Magu is not the only person to have this question. he was brave enough to ask, though. (others may have asked, but yall will forgive me if i skip a night of keyword searching.)

guys have such questions; new kilt wearers have such questions. that is what the forum is for, right? i like to operate under the assumption that if a question is asked, then it means the person asking doesn't know the answer. that's fair, right?

and i disagree that new kilt wearers "always focus on whether or not underwear should be worn with a kilt, or the intricacies of the male anatomy when worn with a kilt." i am not a new kilt wearer, and the subject is not completely removed from my head; and at the same time when i was a new kilt wearer; that topic was not my sole focus. new kilt wearers also fret over tartan-surname associations too.

let's just all put it into perspective. if Magu's question had been about what kind of belt to wear with a kilt, we could have said the same thing: it's common sense, your choice, no big deal. but we wouldn't have done that; we would have talked it out (and possibly to death). ...but when we start talking about our {little kid voice} private parts...

and you say "It is no big deal!" and GanGreenFootball said "don't worry about it let nature take its course."

but it is a big deal. (it shouldn't be in my opinion, our occidental culture cannot treat all body parts with equality. it comes from our overly developed since of prudish modesty... but that is another talk-show.) it is a big deal. just look at how carefully the post was started. and how it has progressed. honestly, would any of us parade about in public (clothed) yet visibly "presenting arms"?!? it is every guy's fear. what would others think? why he must be a pervert! he must be a fiend! i was on a swim-team all thru middle and high school. oh geez, what a nightmare that is for a guy going thru puberty. those little swimsuits reveal your religion. every guy on the swim-team knew they had to avoid at all costs a containment breach.

we say kilts are about freedom. and that refers to several aspects of "freedom". why is the kilt such an uber-masculine garment? because the wearer knows and others know that the very shape of the garment means room and freedom for the male anatomy. don't we argue that in pure form-follows-function logic, women should wear pants and men wear skirts (read: kilts)? what is the defining feature of all of us MEN? so why avoid or get stressed about discussing the 6 inch pink elephant in the corner of the room?

hey, i wish we could live in a society were we could "let slip the dogs of war". but our society is just not mature enough yet to accept that erections are normal natural universal and don't always imply anything. so until that time, underwear, sporrans, and tucking into your belt are all good options.

Aye,

I don't recall the question since I've been on the board.

Guess the main question is, Is it a compliment or an insult to the person causing the situation?

Unless, its just the parasympathetic nerves acting up without cause.

At 62, the only time it happens to me seems to be while driving with my lady seated next to me snuggled up. She just moves the kilt out of the way.

FREEDOM!!

Ron.

WAAAHOOOOO!!!!!!!

furrycelt said it best of all. And if Ron say he's never seen the question asked, it ain't been asked. And this very thing happened to me on the street in Memphis not one hour ago, in the company of three ladies of chance and short acquaintance. Thank g*d I had on me trusty Thorfinn to tamp down the lad. Don't leave home without it, even clad in a UK with umpteen pockets!

We all know one should wear their tartan proudly, but it is important to point out that one must fly their tartan flag proudly as well.

I think that's what he's worried about. To give an actual answer as opposed to the Raarrrrrr answer from the band of pirates.

If it's a problem seriously consider wearing something more constrictive under your kilt.

If it's not a problem and only an occasional occurrence when your woman is going for a rising occasion, throw it back at her. Stand up and in a loud enough voice for other people to hear, say something like "look what you did, you woke nessie." She might get a little embarrassed herself and stop the behavior.

hmm...that might just be worth doing, to see the look on her face!
