    I use to think about this a lot, and would constantly try to fix it - trying to look like I wasn’t just playing with my dick while doing it.

    But now that I’m older I realise most people know clothes do this, and that it doesn’t really look like a boner anyway. And people generally aren’t looking at me wondering if I’ve got a boner, and they probably don’t care if I do unless I’m also staring at them or something. … So now I just worry about accidentally staring at people. (And my eyesight isn’t great, so it isn’t always easy to tell.)

        IDK why this is downvoted; it’s literally the zipper that causes this bulge by being stiffer and less likely to bend like the rest of the material used for the jacket/hoodie/pants.

        At least on a jacket or hoodie, you can push it up so the bulge is on your chest or something. Can’t really do that with jeans when the zipper is just on the crotch.

      I think this is one of those things that seems like everyone notices when it’s you, but when you think about it in reverse you struggle to think of any times you’ve noticed another person with a ‘jacket zipper boner’.

      Make sure to scream things like “yeaaaah, that’s it!” and “more, more!” when you do. You have reinforce the visual denial with vocal denial.

    Thank you jacket bump for helping me hide the continuous uncontrollable boners I got in school. I could put my hands in my pockets and play pocket pinball all through class!

    As a tall freak of nature, I’m just thrilled when I find a shirt that reaches that low. You shorts don’t know how good you have it.

      Same. I have some aged Old Navy hoodies in tall sizes that go to about the bottom of my jeans zipper.

      I asked for a couple new ones (same size and SKU!) for Christmas and the bottom sits at the bottom of my belt so if I move or stretch it’s a belly shirt…

      Eddie Bauer has been the same lately, the tall sizes are like maybe 1-2" longer but I’m not only extremely tall, but my torso is proportionally pretty long.

      If I could be 5’10" that’d be great. I think most people take it for granted that the whole world is made for average height.

    In case someone is stressing about this (I used to when I was young and dumb), no one cares about your boner, or lack thereof. But someday you might meet someone who does!

      When you’re past a certain age, having an unexpected, rebellious boner that refuses to calm down is an achievement. I remember when they were a constant nuisance, so I can relate to the young and dumb guys.
