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.)

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'.

Zipper less hoodies don't seem to do this ime

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

If you just play it cool and use that jacket bump, it won't even occur to anyone that it's a boner.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 8 hours ago

You should only hate it if it makes it look like your boner is smaller than it actually is. No reason to hate it when it's flattering. 😌

If you have a penis on your stomach, maybe.

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 hours ago

You wear crop top jackets?

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

I actually just have a boner.

[-] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 17 points 12 hours ago

Just punch on it to make it clear for everone around that it is not...

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 109 points 17 hours ago

What if you have a boner? Then it provides plausible deniability.

Thank you too, Docker pants.

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

They're terrible, pants boner is far worse than jacket boner.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago

Exactly. These and those pants that make it look like you've peed in them just a little but for stylistic reasons are just good things to have out there in the world imo.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago

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!

[-] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 36 points 16 hours ago

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!

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 19 points 14 hours ago

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.

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 44 points 16 hours ago

I never wear jackets, but still get those bumps in my jeans somehow.

It's because the cloth shrinks in the wash more than the zipper so in order to fit the longer zipper in the smaller cloth it needs to bulge out.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 1 Episode 1 lmao definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it

[-] Cattail@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago

I too have a boner that comes out of my stomach

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 14 hours ago

You should get that checked

[-] Onionguy@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago

Reminds me of that Curb episode, isn't it the first one even? So great. ^^

A WATERBOTTLE IT'S JUST A WATERBOTTLE! xD

[-] 1hundred47@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

The very first!

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 14 points 17 hours ago

Never be ashamed of a good boner.

[-] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 16 hours ago

Ah to be young again!

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

This bullshit is why I never wear zip up sweatshirts.

[-] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Zip-up hoodies are the only sweaters I wear.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

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.
