"it's been just me and my dad. my mom left when I was really young. he's been great, too. never no shame about anything. always open about stuff. he even taught me how to manscape and we help each toher. we're both pretty hung and proud. but this past weekend we were out and about. he glanced down to see my dick pushing it way down a pantleg. he said maybe I should put it up. made no sense to me but I did. why would he all of the sudden care about my boner showing?"
Happy to hear your father has raised you that way. So many think their sons will somehow discover things all on their own. Like magic. Ridiculous. But, maybe, just maybe, he wasn't telling you to hide your boner. Maybe he was telling you it would be more comfortable if you pulled into an up position against your stomach.
Yeah, yeah, I know that decreases the stimulation of the pants sliding along your cock when walking, but it is a more comfortable position. You just need to decide which is more important to you in the moment: Getting your cock stroked between your leg and pants, or less strain on the suspensory ligaments at the base.
