So the tailor doesn't touch your penis when they're measuring you

This feels like satire? A site called real men, real style with an article about penises?

    No, they're not worried about joggling your junk. It's because you need something like an extra half inch in the seam on the side you dress on to leave a little extra room in your pants for your dick. Well-tailored pants are asymetrical. Not sure those of you who wear briefs need to worry about it.

    I don't have the equipment to know if this is true or not, but it seems smart to ask the person you're fitting so that you don't accidentally grope them

    Its true. This is a common tailoring question for men. Nothing to do with being fondled and everything to do with the pants fit. If you are getting measured like this for expensive pants your going to get nudged a bit anyways when they do the inseam measure.

    Let me translate this old joke from Coluche....

    It's the story of a guy who is constantly living with migraines. He goes to the doctor for the tenth time and says "doctor I can't take it anymore, these migraines are ruining my life!", so the doctor prescribes him some medication and says "listen, these are the last resorts.... If they don't work, there's really only one thing we can do, and it's to chop off your dick!", "chop off my dick?? I sure do hope these meds work!!". The guy returns home and starts taking the meds. But months past and the migraines persist. He can't take it anymore, so he goes back to the doctor and says "doctor, I've had it, I have no life, it will be better to live without a dick than not to live at all", "very well, let's get it done!". And so the doctor chops off his dick! Months past and the guy's migraines are completely gone. He's so happy, he finally can live a somewhat normal life. After months of success, he tells himself "I think I should celebrate! Let get ourselves a nice suit!". So he goes to the tailor, and the tailor asks him "sir, tell me, which way do you hang?", obviously the guy replies "oh you know, it is of no importance what so ever...", the tailor exclaims loudly "are you mad? It is of the upmost importance sir! If it hangs on the wrong side of the pants, you'll end up getting constant migraines!!"

    The average penis according to multiple studies is between 5.1" and 5.2" long erect. The average penis also grows up to five times in size when erect. I don't think the problem posed in this article is something the average man needs to worry about.

    So the average penis is about 1" flaccid?! That's gotta be a global average. Not in my parts, I'll tell you that. Not in the local gym showers at least (my only source of data).

    It’s not supposed to just sit there like an acorn attached to the bottom of my torso?

    Both legs at the same time, like any normal person

    Around here tailors say, "which way do you hang" (or they used to, it's been a while) and it's because extra room is required in tailored pants. Generally junk at rest prefers one side to the other.

    Why in god's name would you choose to put it down a leg‽ That shit will give you the worst rug burn imagineable if you happen to take your pants off too fast or fall in a split or just sit down on your pants in a weird way where they pull against you if you try to shift in the wrong way.

    I don't understand the chart in this article about body type vs. underwear style. It doesn't relate to the question that it's located directly under, and it makes no attempt to explain why, for example, thin men shouldn't wear boxers.

    I can't tell if this article is AI generated or just rushed out by someone trying to meet a quota.

    Interesting idea, because my boxer briefs support my balls in the middle, but my dress pants have one seam down the middle, so when I sit for prolonged periods I get a seam uncomfortably squishing my equipment. If instead the seam was always resting to one side or the other, I wouldn't have that problem. To fix this, we should either have underwear that better accommodates a middle seam, or my preference would be pants with a built in pouch similar to underwear. It would accentuate the "bulge", but we could get used to that.

    There's a scene in a 90s comedy about that where the tailor asks which side he wears his pants on. The main character looked very confused until his friend explained it.

    TIL I responded incorrectly to the command "Dress right: DRESS!" in formation.
