I guess I am not one of those categorized as "most straight guys" then foenh. I don't ever mind being eye candy, especially to the right eyes. But to paraphrase you, "all women are the right eyes, but some women are righter than others!"

Mine seems to have a mind of its own and does its own thinking.
It often strays and goes were it wants, but I've noticed lately that it asks for help every once in awhile.

But all looks are good unless you are not getting any from the "righter eyes" , no?

I never complain about the looks. But the "cat calls" are even better. So what's better, to be loved or lusted after? I want both!

I find a jock strap is the answer as it stops all movement. Without it, you risk serious injury when you sit back down after being out of the saddle.

Ah,yes, 'tis ego that makes us soar. Don't know about you, but I like being high. And, confidentially, spandex is cheaper that some of the other methods. (So I've been told).

And it what company is it considered acceptable to get your hand inside and down the front of that lycra and haul the lot back up when it has slipped?

I have to keep it in the middle - because If on either side, it pokes out just above my knee

In my experience, John Thomas should always point North and his suitcases should be up there with him. That way, when you sit forward on the saddle, there is no damage to the baggage.

It may be an indelicate suggestion, but take a look at the telltale bulge on the boys when they're up on the podium - I think you might find I'm in the majority.
