Balls Out (NSFW)

- Submitted by Mo-Dean

I’ve seen a good deal of gay underpants in my time. In fact, I lived with a gay man for many years, so I spent a lot of time on the toilet, staring at International Male catalogues and trying to make sense of it all.

Not everything I’ve seen in this genre is to my taste, but it’s not supposed to be. And I guess on some level I understand what they’re going for, and why someone might want to wear it.

Until this.

This is a new brief called “Balls Out” from Be-Brief.com. The manufacturer claims it took 2011 years to come up with this design, which seems like a huge waste of manpower for something your dryer could do on the wrong setting. In any case, you can now hang your balls out of your underpants in style, and the designer is very excited about it.

As is the model.

I could not understand the benefit to this. Why in God’s name would you want your nut sack flopping around all day like a sack of doubloons? Jesus, I don’t even like walking around with a hole in my sock.

So then I thought, well, maybe it’s like a strapless bra or something! Couldn’t that be it? Maybe you’re meant to wear this under certain kinds of garments for some sort of effect. But I couldn’t think of too many looks where guys want to hide their penises and showcase their balls. I mean I suppose it’s possible in certain cultures, where huge nuts are a sign of wealth or something. I don’t know, I’m reaching.

I decided to show this to my fiance, because he has testicles. And after a moment of stunned silence, here’s what he came up with:

“Maybe it’s tight and it gives you a half-chub all day.”

Yeah, I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like a turn on to have two thirds of your junk dangling out of a small hole. Really, if you wanted that sensation, you could just get a hernia.

No, the only reason I can think of for buying these is if you’re going to do something like this.

So I’d like to suggest they just start calling these “Old Dudes Hanging Brain.” It would save a lot of Googling.

          I’m struggling for a way to be usefully factual yet tasteful at the same time. Give me a moment.

          OK. This is true: to keep ones ballsack dry, having it surrounded by fabric is a good idea.

          In addition, in the event that ones ballsack does get sweaty, having fabric around it helps prevent it from sticking to ones leg. That’s one adjustment one really doesn’t want to make in public, unless one is a professional athlete, in which case one just doesn’t care.

        I don’t personally have balls, but my husband has these special boxer briefs with a “cooling” fabric in the penis area to prevent sweaty balls. The balls out briefs seems like they would only encourage sweaty balls to chafe on their pants… presuming these are made for wearing with pants…

          The only reason going commando isn’t more popular is that (I’m told) one tends to accidentally sit on a nut, or pinch one between folds as one crouches… so if that stuff can still happen in these… I guess they’re not to make your junk any happier than it’d be commando style. I could see it being for underwear-enjoying guys who frequently get BJs IF the nuts were in and the wang were out.
          Maybe for guys who want to go commando but have to wear something due to their terrible wiping skills.

        Not reaching that far. From a biomedical standpoint, the whole evolutionary reason men have balls is because sperm has to be kept at about 1 degree Celcius lower than the body temp. to be viable. That said, I can’t imagine underwear could really hurt fertility… Really it still just doesnt make sense to me, either. But again, I lack balls soI can’t speak to comfort.

          In her case, I believe it had more to do with the fact that her hooha didn’t look like a typical 1930′s hooha. Either she shaves it completely, or in such a way that it didn’t look right for the era. Merkins usually have pubic hair, so it really has nothing to do with that. If anything, a lot of actresses wear one to give the perception of nudity, while still keeping some part of themselves private.

      I think that scrota are one of the few things on the outside of the human body that are pretty much universal (well, amongst the half of the population who have them anyway) in appearance.

    I beleive it’s for men who like the comfortable styling of boxers but like to keep the schlong secured? Maybe it’s for those men that have a long hanging dingus that doesn’t shrink enough so they want that secured but don’t like the feel of there giant sweaty sac smooshed up against the shaft? I’m just guessing since I have a vagina and don’t wear underwear.

    It is my considered opinion that these underpants must have been constructed by an anthropologist with a huge amount of respect for (read: fetishistic infatuation with) Caledonian native warriors, where testicles are evidently revered, just above gastrointestinal comfort, and the penis reviled. To wit:

      These are actually still widely worn in much of Papua New Guinea and goes under the name koteka, phallocrypt (which would make a great name for a band), or penis gourd since they’re usually made out of gourds.

      Though this guy is using a flashlight:

      They’re still widely worn in tropical areas with poor laundry facilities because shorts and underwear tend to hold sweat and dirt and cause skin infections. the traditional koteka is easier to clean and doesn’t cause same problem. Nonporous material is easier to keep clean.

      People do collect these things too. I sold one on Etsy! So far nobody has put one up again. the phallocrypt art, for those interested He’ll also turn up on page 2 of Google searches for the term.

          I was very intrigued by the uniqueness of the style! It must be woven like a chinese finger trap so the thing doesn’t just fall out. Is it for modesty(primarily a cover) or to keep stuff from slapping about too violently while running (a way to tie things together), or maybe to defend against shrubberies slapping it when they’re walking through the woods?

    I have a theory: these bikinis seem to keep the penis at half-staff, like a little sling… Could these be for (gay?) dance clubs when you want everyone to think you’re hot for them?

    In that case, the free ballin’ would be incidental. A shocking twist!

    I’ve heard that the most sensitive part on a man’s body is between his anus and scrotum. I’m thinking this is a way for him to have his um man/woman, do some um tasting and caressing before the actual moment of opening the gift. Maybe it is for them as much as it is for him, he gets some much needed fondling and they get to give their partner a different sensation, plus with it being tight across the package it would cause increased sensitivity to the scrotum. Then they get to be amazed at the fact they can make them as aroused as they do. Just a guess, thinking it’s just lingerie and that there are all kinds.

    I’ve been enjoying your site as a lurker for months now. First, thank you for lightening up my boring, hectic, stressful workdays!

    THIS lovely bit of clothing has encouraged me to finally register. Go figure. Here’s the deal: if your husband is uncircumsized, this ain’t a bad thing to have him wear. Not that he would, manly-man that he is. I lovingly refer to his flaccid weinus as The Aardvark. NOT attractive in the non-turgid state.

    I formerly had a gentleman lover who had amazing balls. Perfect, just the right size, matching, and they cupped wonderfully in the palms of my hands. He would have looked stunning in this, but alas, he was a manly-man as well. These are definitely not for breeders.
