indecency

[English Bloke]

The other week I was off out with my Wife et co. and after putting my little boy in the car and while doing up my daughters seat belt, a brisk gust of wind took my 13oz kilt to waist height behind me. I went inside and changed into trousers, deeming the kilt not appropriate for that day. It's all about choices and I don't have an axe to grind so wearing the Kilt or not, is not, for me, a big issue.

On a recent evening out with my wife, a woman thought it appropriate, and without permission, to snap a picture up my Kilt. After she loudly exclaimed to her assembled chums that it satisfied "the question" for her. I asked if I could now have a picture up her skirt. It created momentarily, a slightly embarrassing and tense atmosphere where I'm supposed to be game for a laugh but she is to be respected as a "lady".

Interesting set of double standards displayed although needless to say, I didn't persue the matter. I do think she got the message though.

Wear what you like under your Kilt, try not to offend others in whatever you do but be aware, the world is full of idiots.

About a year ago I was at a young adult camp, I wore a couple of kilts the week long. The only times I did not wear anything under the kilt was to and from the showers in the morning. However, I was approached half way through the week by another counselor stating that he was concerned that the youngens might see something inappropriate. I asked him if anybody had complained. He said no, but just wanted to make me aware that some people might take seeing my "junk" the wrong way.

That was when I lost it. I am a human male. I am not junk or garbage, and neither are my private parts. the fact that he had absolutely no evidence or witnesses was beside the point. Indeed many of the ladies wear wearing things that were much, much more revealing (the term painted on comes to mind). I had taken one of RiverKilts ideas and was wearing black boxers for most of the week.

This encounter irked me enough the rebel came out.. I went Regimental the rest of the week. All went well till the next to last day the wind came up....I was able to do a Marilyn Monroe; but the back side got a good exposure. That afternoon as I walked into the mess hall (with boxers) all of the "ladies" gave me a standing ovation. The formal ball that night in full regelia, I had a full dance card. Actually I danced with a Lovely lady 91 years young, who kept winking at me. I asked her to dance and she said " well I've always wanted to dance with a real Scotsman". She may have been older , but she sure as heck was not dead! She smiled like a homecoming queen all during our dance. And thanked me graciously!ith:

I'm ALWAYS regimental, unless I'm involved with a sporting event. In those instances, I prefer running shorts or something similar, but that is certainly the exception, not the rule. I'm pretty careful to maintain decency, but there have been a couple occasions where I've ended up displaying more than intended. My take is that since I'm in my 40's, I'm pretty much over worrying about what people think about my attire, kilted or otherwise. Should a 'wardrobe malfunction' occur, it's a simple matter to correct the situation without creating a scene.

Anyone ever heard of a woman being prosecuted for exposing herself? I'm sure that out of the millions wearing dresses and skirts everyday there are probably a significant number (far greater than the number of regimental kilt wearers) who do not wear underwear and who are subjected to accidental or otherwise exposure, yet I've never heard of a prosecution. It should be no different for men.

It's not. Women, especially collage age girls, are regularly cited for indecent exposure, public urination, etc.

It sure strikes me as odd how many men here like to discuss what they wear under a kilt, as if they are all some great stud or porn star. My wife gets a big kick out of all this and thinks there really is something wrong about men who enjoy discussing their genitalia and their machismo...something perverted.

Wear what you like. I don't want to know one way or another what you choose or why. This forum is supposed to be appropriate for all. Talking about "junk" and what-not is in extremely bad taste. Grow up.

It seems like a non-issue to me. When I broached the subject to my wife she gave me a saucy look and said, "You guys shouldn't sweat over the small stuff." Nuff said.
